Many here do not want to admit it, but right now the Bills are not an elite team. The Chiefs, Niners and Eagles simply do not have games like yesterday and on opening night. The Bills are in the next group of teams (Dallas, Ravens, Miami, Seahawks), teams that can look really good (dominant even) some weeks, but cant sustain it against good teams. These teams will make the playoffs and win a playoff game, but they are not beating one of the elite teams in the playoffs.
Unfortunately, that’s where we’re at and it won’t change until there are changes at the top. We’ve maxed out with the McDermott/Dorsey regime. But because so many people inside and out of the organization are satisfied with the team’s current status, the necessary change is unlikely to happen.
