DEF: 1st Half EPA vs 2nd Half EPA
strive_for_five_guy replied to Mikie2times's topic in The Stadium Wall
Interesting stuff. I was curious what our time of possession has been per half and whether that is potentially helping keep the defense off the field. We are #1 in the league in the 2nd half by a wide margin, middle of the pack on the 1st half. In fact, we have the 2nd highest TOP in the 2nd half over the last 20 years, behind only the 2019 Baltimore Ravens. Ours has been more skewed to the 3rd quarter whereas the Ravens were more skewed to the 4th quarter, although we both lead/led the league in TOP in both quarters. We also lead the league in TOP for the full game, 2nd to the 2019 Ravens in the past 15 years. What I think this confirms is that we’re running a very heavy and successful ball control offense, wearing teams down in the trenches, keeping the defense off the field, and then when the defense is on the field in the 2nd half, making the proper adjustments. This is helping to overcome the significant injuries we’ve faced on the defensive side of the ball, along with the lack of talent at the WR position. As the weather stays bad and *fingers crossed* the defense can get healthier, I think this team is as well positioned as ever to get back to the Super Bowl. Being a Wild Card team and needing to go on the road seems like our biggest obstacle, if we can’t pull out the division. -
Prater hurt? Might miss Browns game

Ray Davis, next man up -
Steelers tonight, Ravens next Sunday. Keep punching NE in the mouth, hurt their confidence and show the Jets and Miami how to beat them. I have a feeling AFCN is going to come down to PIT/BAL Week 18 anyways, where PIT will need to win.

It also feels like this Bills team has the resilience that we saw in those 90’s Bills teams. Maybe this is the year…

3-0 now

These “fans” are already starting to disappear here and will be in the witness protection program after tomorrow. Their “fans” at the game will probably be headed for the exits by the end of the 3rd quarter tomorrow, once they realize their team is still no match for a motivated and getting healthier Bills team. -

Well CBS has Romo & Nantz on the GB at Den game. And there’s other games such as Bal/Cin that markets like the one I’m in (Pittsburgh) that have more interest in than the Bills game. -

Well, it’s hard to tell if Palmer can get open because he never plays. Separation was supposedly one of his strengths in prior seasons, and seemed like he was finally primed for a bigger game against Atlanta before getting hurt. But yeah, otherwise it seems like against a team with strong corners like NE, probably should focus on trying to run the ball and first reads through the air should be the TEs and RBs, or Josh just running the ball. I’ve seen enough of Josh get pummeled against some defenses while his WRs try to get open. -

Reminds me also when the Steelers started out 11-0 five years back, only to fall apart down the stretch. -

What are you talking about? Faith is rooted in conviction without proof of something. It doesn’t need to be rooted in any demonstrated past practice. -

We should have a good idea after Sunday whether this Bills team is a true SB contender or not. I feel confident that we win decisively and leave no doubt that we’re the team to beat in the AFC.
