The Bills have been trying to win with defense for the vast majority of the last 30 years, with very limited success. That includes the #1 defense in yards and points getting steamrolled for 42 by KC in the playoffs after the 2021 season. Or the 2003 and 2004 seasons, with top 2 defenses by yards allowed, with the Bills finishing 15-17, including an embarrassing 29 points allowed to Pittsburgh's backups with a chance at the playoffs on the line. Five straight years starting in 1996 with top 10 defenses in terms of yards allowed, missing the playoffs twice, first round exits three times.
This team is very creative. They've thoroughly proven that there are multiple ways to lose.
