ganesh Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I agree that the personnel fit his scheme. It was only one year. It was the definition of an anomaly. There is a tendency for us fans to assume that any upward tick is a harbinger of a meteoric rise to greatest. It happens often enough. Some player has a good season, and it's a lock that the good times will just keep going. Unfortunately, it rarely pans out that way. e.g., Trent Edwards spends the off-season working on his putting, and the wheels come off the bus. Suits get worried and promoted, coaching staffs get fired, and the vicious circle of mediocrity spins like an empty bottle round and round and round. Until you catch a genie in that same bottle and then you are set for a decade of fun every Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 @BuffaloBillsPR The @buffalobills have 281 points through 11 games this year--the team's most since 1992. With today's win, we are now 8-7 in games where we score 25 or more points since 2015. We need to continue improving that w/l total in high scoring games. On to Oakland.

Bills D has been a big letdown most games...we score then they allow a TD right afterwards instead of getting a stop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatsFanNH Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Did a quick look up, could the Bills issue the last 2 years be penalties? The Bills were the most penalized team last year (flags per game) and 7th WORST this year. IMO that is a killer and I would think an easy fix.

Madd Charlie Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Some of you guys are perfect for Buffalo you never miss an opportunity to turn a positive into a negative. TT is a different type of QB and the Bills run a different type of offense. Average points scored should make it obvious that other teams are having a hard time stopping it. I don't know how long it will last but the Cinci game and the Jville game are ones that we normally lose at the end and we pulled them out that has to be a positive even for the most negative of us right? Right now the D is holding us back a bit but if the get hot we are going to the playoffs for the first time in some of your lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
