buckeyebrian Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 To some extent, we are still living with raised expectations due to the golden years (1988-1996) when we were fortunate enough to have a combination of playing talent, coaching and management that may never be duplicated. In the 44 years of Bills existence, such periods of prosperity have been otherwise infrequent and brief. There were the Saban years - 1964-1966 and 1973-1975, which produced AFL championships and the OJ/Electric Company teams. Ground Chuck and the Joe Ferguson led Bills of 1980-1981. The aforementioned Marv Levy era, and the Wade Phillips teams of 1998 and 1999. The point is, there have been more lean years, and the last 4 are evidence of that. When can we expect more "good times" no one knows for sure. The only certainty is that hope springs eternal and Bills fans are exhibit 1 in that regard.
