Buffalo's Win/Loss History and Games Played Compared to NFL

by AussieBill on Nov 12, 2009 6:18 PM EST Comment 4 comments

After jpheff's post about Buffalo's win/loss percentage I got to thinking about the other teams and how we compare. So I went here to get the data. I got a slightly different number of games than jpheff, but the Bills win percentage was roughly the same - 47.6%. That is ranked 24th among NFL teams. The data includes AFL, AAFC, and postseason totals for all teams. The second table shows the number of games played. Buffalo is ranked 19th, meaning only 13 teams have played fewer games. Interestingly, 78% (14/18) of teams who have played more games than the Bills have a winning percentage while only 31% (4/13) of teams who have played less games do.

Couldn't help but notice

you are another miserable soul who is both a Buffalo Bills and a Baltimore Orioles fan. I feel your pain.

cool list, thanks

To me, the sucker is the person who runs when there’s trouble, especially when this situation was so easily foreshadowed….

also highlights how crucial the late 80s and 90s were

I think during the 90s, the Bills had the third most wins after Dallas and San Fran. Imagine where we’d be on the list without it.

7-9 approximates to this lifetime record!

looks like a trend! Maybe DJ is just maintaining status quo

Wow, the teams below us on list are bad – only 6 SB appearances amongst them with 2 wins, include us and the bottom 9 teams of all time are 2 for 10 in SBs

It’s called tradition, and they are not always winning ones!
