Larry Playfair Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I am pumped by our recent improvements, but our team is not that great. In fact, our O is downright shaattty. Bledsoe still makes poor pases and poor decisions, and last week against Cinn (ranked 19th in the league) we couldnt rush for a first down for the first 3 quarters to save our lives. We are living off our D and special teams, and that can only last against poor teams. Lets hope the D keeps smashing opponents into submission, cause one TD a week by our O aint gonna cut it against playoff teams. Also - Rudi ran up some nice yardage on us. Only when we had a blocked punt for a TD and a Spikes interception for a TD to go up big, did they have to start throwing, which allowed us to really bring the dogs. Just food for thought.

SACTOBILLSFAN Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 good teams win despite some poor play. Not only did they win the Bills handed it to the Bungals in their own house...have some hope or go to hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you realize how hard it is to win in this league, even against the so-called scrub teams. We're 5-0 in the last 5 games, winning three of them on the road, with an average winning margin of 3 TDs. I could see your point if we squeeked by in those games, but that's just not the case. Are we perfect? No, but here's a news flash. No one else is either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven in MD Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Let's keep some perspective here....the Bills are a vastly better team today than they were on opening day. But they have some FAs to sign (Williams and Jennings), and a QB situation which is shaky at best. I just hope next year we keep the momentum.

Larry Playfair Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 Last week against a Cleveland defense that ranked 21st in yards allowed and 27th in points allowed, the Bills turned the ball over twice in their own territory, Drew Bledsoe completed 12 of 27 passes for 100 yards, and four trips into the red zone ended without touchdowns. Sunday against a Cincinnati defense that ranked 24th in yards allowed and 21st in points allowed, the Bills' offense produced one touchdown, 212 net yards (including 43 yards rushing on 29 attempts), 13 first downs and had four red-zone penetrations end in field goals. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/p...331/1007/SPORTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the ONE stat that actually matters. Moral victories and/or losses are tools of losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kota Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Um, It is true that the teams we beat these past 5 weeks don't have winning records. However, we just didn't beat these teams we absolutely crushed them. I wonder how many other teams who beat Seattle, St. Louis, Miami, Cleveland, Cinci can say that.

AND MORE COWBELL! 171461[/snapback] Reading and quoting statistics off a box score does not equate to being honest with yourself. You are correct that thinking we could go into Foxboro or Indy and win may be a bit premature, but the examples you cite to validate your point have some holes as well.
