NE x2, Baltimore, Philly, Houston were the best teams we played last year and all had the same results. Game looked like it was close for a while, but the same thing happened, the bad team lost and the better team won. Every team we beat has changed their coach and/or QB, you need to beat quality teams to be a good team & we haven’t proven we can beat a quality opponent. Games are close in the NFL, the Bills have lost by small margins of victories for years. Super Bowl 25 we lost by one point, how close were the next 3 Super Bowls. We were “close” to winning the Super Bowl then? My point is you are never “close” to beating a good team, you either do or you don’t. Games in the NFL are usually close, that’s why 7+ point spreads are rare. If a coach has a game plan that will guarantee a 1 point margin of victory they will go with that everytime.
