This team should be winning on the road. Philly and Miami were winnable games. 49ers and Bills were disgusting embarrassments. This is corching and "Football Operations". The team quit in Buffalo. The league clearly was intent on injecting life in to the Bills season, but corching stops that in it's tracks. Maybe Johnson to the Ring will set off a run of density but it's all going to be on the road.

With the exception of the switzer year, this franchise has been cursed.

It's been 27 years.
