Buffalo Bills (70-87) From 2010 through 2016, the Bills had four different head coaches (Chan Gailey, Doug Marrone, Rex Ryan, and Anthony Lynn), four different primary quarterbacks (Ryan Fitzpatrick, EJ Manuel, Kyle Orton, and Tyrod Taylor), one winning season (9-7 in 2014) and no playoff appearances. Things have been better since Sean McDermott took the head coaching position in 2017 -- the Bills made the postseason for the first time in the new millennium in McDermott's first season, and their current 9-4 mark gives them the inside track on the franchise's first 10-win season since 1999.

UGH. RINSE & REPEAT SAME DUMB TALKING POINTS. How about just say this: "If second-year quarterback Josh Allen can become the franchise QB the Bills faithful see him as, McDermott might be in for a nice, long, productive run.
TroutDog Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 Feels like 24 is generous given what a tire fire we were for so long.

jlgarsh Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 1 hour ago, The Jokeman said: 4.25 games below .500 each season. Doesn't it average out to 7-9? Aka Jauron ball ugh
Franco_92 Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 I like this stat - in seasons in which McDermott is coaching without 90 mil in dead cap, he is 19-11 1
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 1 hour ago, Over 29 years of fanhood said: Much closer to 500 than I would have thought It's basically 7-9 which seems about right when we think back on how often we finished around 7-9. If we finish the season 1-1 which is most likely it is exactly 7.2-8.8 average. A smidgen better than 7-9.
Kirby Jackson Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 Again, no argument with this. The Bills have been .500ish for most of the decade. There were a couple of bad years and now a good one in there. In general though that’s about right.
May Day 10 Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 it is shocking to not consider them towards the bottom... But they never/rarely have bottomed out, even through the depths of the drought. While they were possibly the 2nd most irrelevant team (ahem, Browns), they were somewhat middle of the pack and always better than a handful of teams bottoming out at the time.
Rochesterfan Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 What I do not get - with the Browns missing the playoffs this year they have now matched where we were in the number of straight years without a playoff appearance. 2002 - 2020 for Cleveland, but that is still all they ever talk about for the Bills - even now that we are going to the playoffs 2 out of 3 years - the power rankings make a dig at this being the 2nd trip in the last 2 decades. Why is that a Bills only narrative- it should move to the Browns - especially as they have the worst win percentage of the last decade and since they returned to the league and now have missed the playoffs for just as long as the Bills did. Somehow the Browns got all the hype and the media is pushing an old narrative and it really stinks. They could even focus on the Bucs or Jets as those are pushing a decade plus since their last appearance.
