So, let's look at this objectively. No one except the usual cadre of homers blinded by their own fanaticism actually thought the Bills were going to the playoffs this year. We were in every game except two, and although this team still has some holes, we have a good group of young players who played well over the second half of the season. And we improved over 2005 by two wins. That's what most of us were hoping for, so the word "disappointment" isn't really appropriate.
But perhaps the word "frustration" is. Seven straight years- no playoffs. We lost to 3 playoff teams by a combined 5 points (NE, Indy, SD) and beat ourselves with stupid mistakes in a few early games (NE, Jets). I don't completely blame Levy and Jauron- in fact, they probably couldn't have done much better given the train wreck that TD and Mularkey created. Yet, it's the most exciting time of the football season and we're not in it. And now we have to wait another 9 months before we get to take another crack at it.
*sigh...well, there's always next year. If NE loses, maybe it won't seem so bad.
