I'm not a fan of hyperbole. For me, it usually detracts from the point trying to be made. I welcome critical thinking, it's why I come here everyday. 'You're only as good as your last kick' is a clownish statement to me.

You don't honestly believe that, do you? Every great kicker suddenly sucks after a miss? Sounds like something you'd pull out from down under...and I don't mean Australia.

No, and that's a fair point. but as I mentioned in my original post I'm not claiming the numbers show cause or effect. I was actually responding to the following which seemed kind of superficial: "For games where they had <200 passing yards, teams won 44% of their games & scored an avg. of 17.7 pts per game. For 200-299 passing yards, teams won 52% of their games & scored an avg. of 23.3 pts per game. For 300+ passing yards, teams won 55% of their games & scored an avg. of 29.0 pts per game. To me, it looks like passing yards have a strong relationship with winning" I expanded on that and included rushing just because I was interested and was surprised at the contrast. For the record, my preference would be we run for 120 and pass for 320 every game

It's especially interesting given my perception that there are more really bad teams and less really good teams this year than usual. Could be just water not finding it's level just yet.

Disclosure: I'll admit that quoting myself is bad form AND I'm not clear on your 'better game' criteria. To me a better game is winning. Caveats out of the way: In another thread I pulled the stats above which to me shows a clear correlation between winning and rushing yards and a not so clear correlation between winning and passing yards. The stats above would suggest that a RB going for 120 is comparable to a a QB throwing for 320. However, make it 125 on the ground and things look differently. Make it 400 in the air and nothing changes.

IMO math is easy, but stats, probability and trend analysis isn't. A .670 winning percentage implies an 11-5 season. I think most fans could agree that 11-5 is unlikely without relying on a point differential analysis based on a ridiculously small sample set. Stats are only useful to predict trends over large sample sizes IMO. Put another way, if the Bills blow out the Dolphins 45-0 this Sunday it would benefit the point differential but wouldn't lead me to believe they'll be an 11 win team.

Million-to-one shot!

Good call.

I like to go swimming with bow legged women and swim between their legs!

With quite a few drinks under my belt I scored a 23. I think if I downed a few more I could score higher but I'm getting kind of tired.

I know I'm in the minority but I'm all for sudden death in football.

What kind of place do members want The Stadium Wall to be? I want it to continue to be what it's been since I lucked into it a few years back. A place with passionate, knowledgeable Bills fans who debate all things Bills, positive or negative. A place where the community upholds the community standards and mods only have to step in as a last resort. Also, and maybe not a popular opinion but I think we could do without the ignore feature.

If this site had stats for most Haha responses for an OP, I'd put money on this one.

A true story that I retell whenever possible, most recently right now. Wifey and I were having a heated 'discussion' one evening and it turned into: Me: You disagree with everything I say. Her: No I don't.

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnggggggggg jacket

And maybe I seem a bit confused Yeah maybe, but I got you pegged! Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha! But I don't know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs They're callin' again.

My county (20-30 miles east of Brooklyn) instituted a 5 cent plastic bag law starting January 2018. Remembering to bring the reusable bags took some getting used to and I still forget from time to time, but I have no complaint with the law.

Don't it make my brown eyes blue

Thanks for the tip, found the article below. Looks like it's not in imminent danger of going over the falls. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/iron-scow-horseshoe-falls-1.5344845
