Dopey Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Do we get all the same players and none of the injuries too? Sure, but you get Rex too. 2014 defense and Schwartz (sp) vs healthy 2016 defense and Rex, my money's on 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Three and out % on offense has nothing to do with hurting your defense! I checked and it has MINUS.2 to MINUS .3 correlation with the defensive stats (yards, Points, Yds/play, Expected Pts allowed.) As a matter of fact,the five best teams at avoiding three and outs have an average D ranking of 27th. the 5 worst-average D ranking is 16! :lol: :lol: Thanks for the info! Edit, I remember before Aaron Williams was the Golden Excuse, it was actually Brandon Spikes. That's right, Schwartz' defense was good and Rex' bad because JS had Brandon Spikes and Rex last year did not.

The Big Cat Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 They have since Big Cat had disappeared.... Odd. Dude. Get a !@#$ing life. This is about the fifth time you've brought me up in the past week. It's pathetic, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) Fifth? Prove it and show me the heat map. That you've brought me up at all is weird. That you've done it several times--trying to worm away from it on a technicality won't dispel this truth--is sad. It truly is. I think it speaks to your general character that you puff yourself up as some kind of anonymous tough guy when presented with the opportunity to rub somebody's face in disappointment, to gloat about being a deterrent to somebody's enjoyment of something, no matter how trivial. It truly is a baffling use of your finite time on this planet. It's petty, and it's small and it's bizarre. Is it really hard to understand that someone would rather just not associate with people like you on a message board? Make no mistake, you're not alone. In the past couple weeks I've seen tomes written about why everyone's wrong about our standout RB. Can't understand why people move away from this board from time to time? Can't grasp how things here become loathsome and pointless when tiny, rotten people like you have their way at the expense of other people's happiness? No, of course not. You'd rather mock efforts people make to contribute to this board in a positive way. Hell of a way to go through life.

Using the "I'm clearly more intelligent than all you little ants too silly and ignorant to admit I'm correct" posting style and then posting something like this truly requires a double take. Weren't you trying to rub Badol's face in his Shady takes just this year? Do you own a mirror in that glass house of yours?

BADOLBILZ Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Again...you're not pointing to a single measurement of three and outs in bunches. That's the key difference. OMG. If you punt the ball a lot.........you are going to string together series where you punt the ball consecutively. How many times do we have to see an in game graphic illustrating where some team has gone 5-7 unsuccessful drives in a row? Usually there are turnovers and/or end of halves involved as well.........neither of which is any LESS impactful than a 3 and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San-O Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I was always one who thought this season would stand or fall on whether Rex could figure the D out and get it back on track. The first 4 weeks have been largely encouraging that one disaster against the Jets notwithstanding. So I thought I'd start a thread to track where we are week by week in the key categories. So after week 4: Yard per game allowed: Rank - 17th Pass YPG allowed: Rank - 17th Rush YPG allowed: Rank - 13th Points per game allowed: Rank - 6th 3rd down %: Rank - 10th Sacks: Rank - 3rd Takeaways: Rank - 5th Interesting, however the season got away again from the Bills during the 3 game losing streak... season over. 33.3 avg points / game against.

For a defense on a team where the offense doesn't turn the ball over much these numbers are just BAD. Factor in the weak opponents.......which Dave did in his FO post.........and this D is more of a mid-20's unit. Thanks for keeping these coming.

Nihilarian Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Currently, 27th against the run tells me that Ryan's defense is not only bad, it's embarrassingly bad. 31st in rushing TD's allowed. At this point, I don't know what new head coach I want to see in Buffalo an offensive or defensive minded guy. Perhaps another special teams guy like Marv or Harbaugh.

OldTimer1960 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Man, how could anyone be defending this defense after that pathetic performance? If they had played decent defense even 1/3 of Miami's drives, the Bills win that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihilarian Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 And yet there are still people defending his defense.... Perhaps he likes Rex Ryan's defense when it gives up another 200-yard rushing day to a Dolphins RB for the second time in a season. Or maybe he enjoys watching the buffalo defense giving up almost 500 yards of offense to the 26th ranked Miami offense twice in a season. Buffalo had 589 yards of offense against Miami and it wasn't enough because the defense couldn't make a stop when needed. I happen to like this year's version of Rex Ryan where he keeps his mouth shut and does his job. The problem is his version of a defense is outdated and no longer viable in today's NFL and the current defensive players will need to relearn how to tackle. Goodbye, Rex!
