1995!
Wow.
The 95/96 season, which, if you recall, is also the last time the Buffalo Bills won a playoff game.
That year, they hit the halfway point of the season 5-3, and finished 5-3, good for a 10-6 record, division championship, and a home playoff game against Miami. The Bills won that playoff game 37-22, then went on to lose to the Steelers in Pit, 40-21.
Unbelievable that it's been that long since the Bills were able to put together back to back wins going into a vacation.
Have things changed in Buffalo? This is more of a subjective question than an analysis of the Bills reality. But consider... do the Bills have something to play for this year? In the past 20 years, have they been "checking out" ahead of their vacation. Is this Bills team different? Are they "all in", so to speak?
Maybe it's nothing... maybe it's just another useless stat in a game, league and world full of useless stats.
But maybe it points to something deeper... after all, doesn't this team FEEL different than the last 20 iterations?
