if you remember last year, one of the Bills' problems was that they couldn't beat teams with winning records. 5 of our 7 wins game against 3 teams that combined for 11 wins (Jets, Dolphins, Ravens), and we only beat one team with a winning record/playoff team (Redskins, and it took the trauma of a player's death the week before to barely skate by). We thrived against the bottom half of the NFL and struggled heavily against the top half.
But this year's team is better, right? Not exactly.
So far, we've lost to every team we've played with a .500 or better record (Arizona, Jets, Dolphins). The 3 teams that beat us have a combined 14-10 record, which isn't anything spectacular. The 5 teams we've beaten have a combined 12-28 record, which is terrible.
Just as in past years, the Bills are thriving against the dregs of the league and struggling against any team that''s average or better. The only thing going in the Bills favor is the schedule. We play a lot more losing teams this year than we did last year. Yet, the mediocrity is still frustrating.
