BobChalmers Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Oh - that's the last time I listen to Dan Fouts. lol. LOL - that WAS a mistake!!! I don't know the stat-line for "uninformed comments by NFL color announcers" but it's got to be a huge number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBuff423 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I love that... but until Sunday, the D was giving up at least 20 pts a game With our young and ever changing offensive personnel, we need that to be lower over the rest of the season. Hopefully with a "softer" schedule (relatively) that will happen. I don't think that's entirely accurate....this TEAM may have given up "at least 20 points a game", but not the Defense. For example, Kansas City scored 23 points, but only 9 of those were on the Defense, the other 14 were turnovers returned for touchdowns...can't exactly fault the Defense when they weren't even on the field...I get your point, but I heard this stat during the Sunday game and it drove me bonkers because of its inaccuracy...Cleveland's Defense had 14 points due to turnovers as well, and that counted against the point total of course, but those points don't get stacked onto the Defense....just a point, not trying to pick a "fight" or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think for a guy who's broadcasting to thousands of people, including a large market city like New York, and getting paid handsomely for it, would do his diligence and represent the "facts" accurately...buuuuuut, apparently that's just for local newspaper hacks and beat writers....my bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Baltimore game he kept calling him "Darcy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 the Bills currently lead the NFL in sacks (37) and are tied for the league lead in INT's with Seattle (16)? You mean Kiko's currently leading the league in sacks and INTs, the rest of the defense is just riding his coattails. This "Kitty" > Marrone's Dog I can't decide if that's too weird to be hot, or too hot to be weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) I can't decide if that's too weird to be hot, or too hot to be weird. Take plenty of time to contemplate before you ultimately decide. Unless you'd care to vacillate indefinitely.....BTW...you won't need to apologize for that.

chris heff Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Okay. Fine. I APOLOGIZE for not knowing that. Happy now? (By the way, those stats are unreal, and they're only going to get better as we hit a softer part of the schedule). I'm sorry we're you saying something?

chris heff Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Nick was, quite possibly, the worst kicker we ever had as a team. Nice to know you recognized him. I can't forget him. One name, Booth Lustig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Since the Bengals game, the D has reduced its average yards/game by just over 100 yards--from 395 to 291. It's nice to have the starting secondary back and getting used to the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully with a "softer" schedule (relatively) that will happen. They gave up 9 to KC but it counted as 23. On MNF last night they said that the Panthers have given up 8 first quarter points this entire year. Can you give up 8 points without a safety being in the mix? How the heck does the defense give up a safety? Edited November 19, 2013 by 4merper4mer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
