They got progressively worse in each SB appearance but aside from a trick of fate against NY, they had to face three more stacked NFL teams. Giants were tough but had Nortwood been given at least another 10 yards closer they probably would of taken that one. They just sorta gassed out or flat out quit against the Redskins and Cowboys.
Dallas was basically a rebuilt from scratch team with a New York Yankees greatest hits style line up and they were blown out in that first meeting. Poor Jim Kelly got his leg broken in that game so it was pretty much all over for Buffalo in the 1993 game. Also, the final score should of been a lot more lopsided. If not for the referees allowing Frank Reich's illegal forward pass for a TD when he had already crossed the line of scrimmage and Leon Lett not showboating before having his TD swatted down the score would of been 59-10 instead of 52-17, which would of made it the most lopsided SB in history.
To wrap things up, Buffalo was a good team in a weak AFC where the best teams were offense happy but got swatted down by the more balanced NFC which usually prided themselves on defense. Buffalo had some good players, but they had the rotten luck of playing 4 teams that were good on all sides of the ball.
