eball Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 ...and I see this as a potentially significant issue going into the 2nd half of the season. At this pace, the Bills may only win 10 of their 16 games and be facing a situation in which they will have to try and score slightly more points than their opponent in the postseason. Thoughts?

Mr. WEO Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I think they should be able to put those few extra points into a points bank to use when they don't score more points than the other team in a given game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. We should've saved 2 TD's for the Broncos game so we could jump to a 14 point lead. Friggin Havkett screwing us again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 This is definitely a factor that worries me. I know that "experts" try to use bogus statistics to correlate a points surplus with winning, but the Bills have a long tradition of being out-scored. We gotta stick with what we do.

The Big Cat Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 If we only 10 games when we should have won 18, then everyone should be fired. Starting with Pegula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is lazy analysis at best. You need to consider that in most games, the D is making it tough on opposing Offenses. Also, the ST have improved. All these aspects are making the Bills look better than they actually are. Next time, do you homework before posting.

bobobonators Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 lol. Speaking of Dan Carpenter - the guy has been an absolute stud here. Lindell was awesome for us, but I'm more confident in Carpenter from 45+ than I was with Lindell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Realists understand that the simple accumulation of more points in any one game is not the true measure of a team's success. They know how to dig deeper and appreciate that there are always reasons to be grumpy and dissatisfied, unlike all those homers who think that scoring more points than the other teams each week is something to celebrate.

Never trusted Lindell after that Pittsburgh miss. But, its only points, of which Eric says we have a bad habit of just scoring enough of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papazoid Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 without scoring a point, bills may be the only AFC East team not to lose in week #9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
