This was the worst performance by an allegedly good Bills team for a very long time. Imagine, losing very, very badly to a team full of backups, either by injury or demotion.

These are the worst losses that “good” Bills teams have suffered to bad teams that I can find:

1992, Wk 14, Jets, 17-24 - Jets won 4 games that year, the loss didn’t hurt the SB bound Bills
1981, Wk 11, @Cardinals 0-24 - Cards won 7 that year, loss likely cost Bills the division
1980, Wk 6, Colts 12-17 - Colts won 7 that year, loss didn’t hurt the Bills who won division
1965, Wk 8, Oilers 17-19 - Oilers won 4 of 14, Bills win league championship

So depending on how you look at it, this was the worst Bills loss in as little as 11 years or perhaps the worst in their history.

Feel better?

didn't we get crushed by the SEAHAWKS years ago?

Remember we're talking about "good" teams, ones that should end the season over .500. Perhaps this team doesn't qualify, but for arguments sake ...

The MNF Indy game. Wade-o's gem.

Three days later and we still haven't come up with a game worse than that one.

Saburz 's Bills loss to the Seahawks- they were an expansion team and we lost 56-17 on Haloween, 1977


Bad losses by SB teams really shouldn't count- everyone stumbles once in a while- and if they were playoff or SB bound, how bad of a loss could it be?

Well yeah but they were only 3-11 that season so they sucked pretty bad. I was referring to damaging losses to bad teams in years the Bills were above .500. So far you could make a good argument that last week's game was the worst ever by a "good" Bills team.

Of course if they end up 8-8 or worse then the whole thing is moot.
