Went ahead and finished simming the rest of the games. I finished 9-7 to give the Bills a winning season, just behind the 9-7 Steelers, Chargers and Titans who made the playoffs. It'll give me something to build on for next year. I suspect the Patriots rested all their starters the last game, because I ended up beating them by 5 TDs. Not the way I wanted to win, but I'll take it.
