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?
