BUFFALOTONE Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 If Cincy has struggled to a 1-2 record, how would they of decided to ever back down on their defensive play ?? The Bills didn't let KC's offense run ramshacked even after leading big, they shut them down. No defense is going to allow teams to score or move the ball but our offense handed the ball to Johnny White (Our 3rd string back) on 90% of our remaining plays, would you consider that backing down on offense after mutilating them the previous 3 quarters ?? Does all this leave you where you can understand this now, instead of the first place ? Cincy's defense has a rank (~4th best), Bills offense has a rank as well. The Bills offense if we continued to press would be ranked higher statistically if we did not back off in the 4th Quarter of the KC game. We would have more points, more total yards rushing / passing & a better overall ranking. We chosed not to play hard anymore to show KC mercy, at the sacrifice of improving ourselves statistically. Please see above link to witness how we turned the offense off at the beginning of the 4th quarter of the KC game. We never turned our defense off & had another few possessions, which based on previous results should of yielded us additional offensive gains if we so chosed. That defense also played Denver, Miami and Cleveland. Your logic is flawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I really dont think you can take the KC game and apply it to Cinci.....Cinci does have a better defense and they have had a chance to watch what we do on offense now..... Doesnt mean we shouldnt smack them around on Sunday.....just that "any given sunday" you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Consistent execution increases the likely of consistent execution, like winning breeds winning. I don't find any of that weird, it's all hidden in the stats. What the hell do stats have to do with consistent execution? You do know how averages work right?

CSBill Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 The Bills could of kept their foot on the gas & almost assuredly scored several more TD's to pad the stats, if they so chosed. If we did that & the other games played out the same way, our stats would be even greater / more impressive. Link to game notes The reason I am mentioning this now is because it was said that we have a top offense to match Cincy defense but I beg to differ that we could of easily added more points / stats to make ourselves look better against KC / in total but chosed not too. Cincy couldn't of improved their defense anymore & played to their full potential in all of their games. What this really means that if you're using the stat theory (which I always do), that Buffalo could of pulled farther away in offensive stats, didn't do it & yet still leads the league in total points (113) scored. We could easily have 127-130 points scored as of today, which would be far more than the rest than just a few scores we lead by now. Weigh that all in when choosing who wins the game this Sunday, Chan had mercy instead of padding the stats (Like TOm Brady / Bill B always do). So mathematically, we are a far better team on offense than Cincy is on defending, sans the quality of opponents played as well. Right move, game out of hand, no need to risk injuries to key players. And, it gives the reserves a chance to prove themselves in real game action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
