This Buffalo Bills playoff berth is so very different than Brandon Beane’s first season sneaking in. Everyone was so excited to end the great drought that the actual results of the Jacksonville game seemed somewhat insignificant.
Now, I would not suggest the Bills are favored to advance far and contend for a championship this season. Obviously with that defense, beating anyone is absolutely on the table. That said, this season I think fans would be happy to get past the Wild Card round with the opportunity to make some noise after that.
Making the playoffs a couple of years ago was a team disassembling and rebuilding almost from scratch.
