Offense ranks of teams NE has played: By Yards per game: 2nd, 14th, 16th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 25th, 26th, 27th, 29th, 31st and 32nd. Average: 22.1 By points per game: 6th, 12th, 14th, 17th, 22nd, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st, 32nd. Average: 22.7 NE's defense may be good, but they just havent played good offenses this year. The defense is currently ranked 7th in yards per game allowed and 5th in points. I would argue this is where they should be playing all these weaker teams.

Scenarios for winning the division; scenarios for winning the #1 seed
finn replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
I can see the Patriots losing to us and losing to the Dolphins. In fact, I think it's likely. When a team wins that many in a row, it's natural to assume they're as good as their record. If they're not--and I don't think this team is--eventually probability will catch up to them, as it did for KC, who last year were also not as good as their record. Even if the Pats were significantly better than they are now, losing to us and the Dolphins would just be normal. -
Dollars, my good gentleman adventurer and fellow warrior poet, I'm appreciating what Cook is doing but you can't compare him to OJ for a few reasons. Let's start with the quarterback. Clearly the defenses we face today fear Allen far more than they fear Cook. So we see, for example, teams line up in a two high shell and then put a spy on Allen. Teams don't put spies on Cook. I'm sure they respect his talent but he's not their primary worry. OJ's usual QB was Joe Ferguson. Fergie eventually became a good QB but in his early years, his job was simply to give OJ the ball. For example, in 1973 when OJ ran for 2,000 yards, Ferguson passed for less than 1,000 despite starting every game. Defenses were fully, entirely keyed on OJ with spies matching his every move. And they still couldn't stop him. Now let's look at defenses. Nowadays, most teams use the 4-2 as their base defense. In the 1970's, the 4-2 was called a "pass prevent" defense and was only used, reluctantly, at the very end of halves. Most defenses then, including the "Purple People Eaters" and the "Dallas Doomsday Defense," used the 4-3 and were intensely focused on smothering running backs. LBs back then were not the quick, rangy guys of today with good coverage skills. They were freaking lunatic killers like Dick Butkus, Mike "Mad Dog" Curtis, Jack Ham, and Jack Lambert who hit you like a freight train and counted any day they hospitalized a back a good one. DEs were different, too. Forget today's sack artists with superior bend, spin moves, and ballet-like grace. The DEs of the 1970s were hulking giants who pounded the snot out of RBs and made them cry. Cook is a good back, and I like watching him work. But he wouldn't achieve the stats he's attaining now on the 1970s Bills versus 1970s run-first defenses.

A Few Thoughts about the Bengals Game - Community Edition
BuffaloBill replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
Crazy, he is staring right at it -
I want to see if Drake Maye can put the cape on, "in our weather". Or if he will shrink. We know what Allen is capable of.

A Few Thoughts about the Bengals Game - Community Edition
WideNine replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yeah, that was a great tendency breaker. 1st down for the game in the snow, the Bills will definitely run the ball right? Not-so-much. Instead we suck their defense and rookie LBs into defending the run and Cook and easily get our TE open behind them. We need to continue to use play action and sneaking those TEs out after run blocking motion as a regular thing to keep teams from jumping the snap and run blitzing. We have a lot of TE talent we need to continue to find ways to keep them involved in the passing game. Teams will adjust, but so many times the Bengals simply did not account for our TEs once they started blocking or chipping. Once they released into a route no one went with them. -
There’s something different about McD this season…
T master replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall
No matter what the haters here say McD learns each and every year with each and every situation that he has been in over his time here and in NFL head coaching terms is still a relatively young Head coach in the league which apparently some here don't understand . So as players that they get here have to have a growth mind set he doesn't limit that to just the players he takes that same thought process on him self and I believe in him as the person that will one day bring Buffalo a Lombardi . Some of the best life lessons are from screwing up or making decisions that weren't the best at the time but if you learn from them then it wasn't a waste of time it will allow your future to be better than your past and make better decisions when a similar situation comes to be then you can reflect and make a better decision . GO BILLS !!! Follow your leader ... -
Has Josh Allen put himself back in the race for MVP this year??
Sweats replied to Special K's topic in The Stadium Wall
Didn't JA have a passer rating of 13 in a game last year and still won MVP -
Failing how? We scored the second most points this past weekend. Was it Brady's fault that Ty Johnson got tripped up by the turf monster or that Cook fumbled the ball inside the 15? If they hadn't we'd likely be at the top, what more do you really want from this team? Score 50 plus games every week? Sorry no OC has ever accomplished that and ever will.

I get the whole home field advantage thing, but there's something more satisfying about winning playoff games on the road. Yes, I know the Bills haven't done so since dinosaurs roamed the earth but my ideal scenario has them winning three road games to reach the super bowl with Allen going nuclear. I wanted that to include arrowhead but that isn't happening this season.

Seeing it’s a regular season award, the argument for drake Maye and a few playoff wins is invalid -
I try to ignore them, but sometimes you can't miss it. BBFS is a real thing here.

I used to get so pissed off when we would fall asleep in the 3rd quarter of games and it wasn't until their backs were against the wall and someone would slap them around a little bit to wake them up, where they would come alive again in the 4th. Now it seems they zombie walk the 1st half of games and then come out with both pistols a-blazing for the 2nd. Like, come on boys, this old man's heart can't take much more.

Not sure you find yourself a bonafide pass rusher is worth way more than a WR IMO.

You aren't. I was in my mid 20s then.Wait about another 20 yeats.
