Oh Hell, Why Not? : Playoffs

Just for fun, let's bring this stat back up...

 

Assuming every team has an equal chance at the beginning of every year to make the playoffs (obviously not always the case, as some teams are better than others), the odds of missing the playoffs in any given year are 62.5%.

 

Missing three years in a row...24%

 

Missing 15 years in a row....

 

Wait for it.....

 

0.09%

 

That looks like 9% at first glance, but in actuality, it means that the odds of missing the playoffs 15 years in a row are less than one in a thousand.

 

Now factor into the equation that the Bills haven't even been close to a playoff spot save for 2004, and haven't played any meaningful games in december other than that one year. FFS, the patriots have played more meaningful games in February than the Bills have in December.

 

Now also factor in that the Bills haven't even sucked enough to get a top two pick in any of those years (and only two in the top 5..not including the trade up for Watkins) and the odds become astronomically low.

 

Buffalo Bills football, ladies and gentlemen.

Bills fans every year this millenium:

 

in August: "Oooh, look, they're giving us another **** sandwich! Yay! Maybe this year it will be a really delicious **** sandwich!"

 

In November: "Nope."

 

Jon...QB Bills just served up a tasty **** sandwich. That's foul.
