Here’s a very possible, maybe even likely scenario:
Dolphins have 2 games before the Bills face 49ers a week from next Sunday night.
Should the fish lose either game, the Bills can (and should) clinch their 5th straight AFC East title.
I think McDermott has something close to a perfect record following the bye.
They’ll be at home, rested, with (presumably) key players returning to action.
Less than bold prediction- Bills get title and 7th playoff appearance in 8 years.
That would include 6 consecutive playoff appearances , equaled only in Bills’ history by the ‘88-‘93 teams.
The vision of the 17 year drought is fading fast in the rear view mirror.
Getting to a Super Bowl is not easy. Winning is even harder. I don’t know if the Josh/McDermott Bills will experience it, but I like their chances a whole lot better than I did in the years leading up to Beane’s and McDermott’s arrival.
