Eliminated yet again, once-promising Bills are headed the wrong way
LANDOVER, Md. -- The Buffalo Bills are a worse team than they were one year ago.
Sure, the Bills were eliminated from the playoffs with a bad loss to the Oakland Raiders just before Christmas last season, just as they were knocked out of postseason contention for a 16th consecutive season with a 35-25 defeat Sunday to the Washington Redskins.
But with a 6-8 record, the Bills can finish no better than 8-8 this season, and that means Rex Ryan's first season as Bills coach -- and all the fanfare that came along with it -- was less successful than Doug Marrone's second and final year at the helm in Buffalo, when the Bills completed their 2014 season with a 9-7 record.
