A few parting thoughts on their season’s suspense-free ending while wondering whether the Patriots would have beaten the Steelers …
· OK, we’ve had a couple of days to think about this, and here’s the conclusion: The Bills’ 47-17 throttling Saturday night was not the most thorough postseason beatdown I’ve ever seen.

The Jaguars sacked the sessile Marino five times, forced seven turnovers, and led, 24-0 after the first quarter and 41-7 at halftime.
