2020 Feeling More Like Major Missed Opportunity

[corta765]

Between the loss today, injuries, an improved division, and Josh looking a bit more mortal 2020 is really starting to feel like the big missed opportunity. Buffalo cruised through any major obstacle outside of the KC game and was incredibly healthy throughout. Josh had maybe one truly bad game otherwise he was superb and would’ve been MVP had Rodgers not been so good.

 

My feeling after today and how the season has gone is the team has far more obstacles then before with a greatly improved division that is no guarantee in the least. The AFC itself being not as strong helps for the playoffs, but unless Josh is playing almost perfect they are not the team we’ve thought unfortunately. Additionally McDermott needs some heat as the only year they have played well after the bye for a stretch of games was 2020. Last years struggles happened the same time, same as 2019 and 2017 (2018 was a waste in general). It’s tiring that the team itself looks so unprepared for a stretch of games after the bye when they should be rested and more focused. To me his hot seat is real if they can’t make it to the SB this year. I’d give him one last year and then change it if he can’t make it go.

Uh, Are you sure you’re not referring to 2021? The bills were not the better team in 2020, Kansas City was.

I’m still salty about 1980. Is that OK to talk about?

Don't know if this has been brought up but last season when we lost to Jax, was also the first Sunday in November. 

 

If I'm Beane I'm asking the NFL schedule makers to give us a bye the weekend of Nov 5, 2023!

They blew it last year. Everyone knows it, some accept it.

Why did the Bills have to Bicker so much in ‘89 maybe Harmon wouldn’t have dropped that ball!

21 team wasn’t better then 20 they had a closer result. 20 team was a game away not two and the biggest failing result wise was Frazier weird decision to change their D that had worked earlier vs Mahomes and crew.

January 28, 1991, SB XXV was the missed opportunity. But let's get on with this year & fix things. Every season has adversity.

Aside from a phenomenal D , ya this O is quite concerning.  This is 6 straight quarters where they looked bad and it's a concerning trend

Phenomenal D? The game winning drive for the Jets started at the 4 and the Jets didn't attempt a pass until they were at the Buffalo 18 and only dropped back one time after that. This loss was a collective effort.

And the Jests got 3 points on that drive.

As a whole, giving up 20 points with multiple starters out is a win to me..
