Probably ok to say as a fan but I highly doubt that the actual Bills players, coaches, staff, owners ever felt this narrative of them taking a step back was true or “their plan”.
I will be disappointed losing to a Chefs team that feels less intimidating than what, to me, the birds felt going into the game. But I have also enjoyed this season way more than I would have thought coming in to it.
Hey, either way you feel - Go Bills!
