Peace Frog Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Holy flaming anchors! I can't believe this freaking team, what a freaking game! This defense is legit. I want nothing better than the Bills to sweep New England like we did in 1999, the last season we made the playoffs. Freaking Go Bills!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 There's a long overdue change in the wind. McB deserve a huge thank you for starting this culture change. This team is buying in. We have the #1 defense in the NFL. Our offense and TT will only improve. The stench from the Ryan's is almost gone. What I smell now in Buffalo is optimism.

MarlinTheMagician Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 If allowing the least points don't make you #1 the stat is kinda dumb! Not like our offense has 50 mins of possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Very true, points do matter to to who wins the game. But yards does give a better indicator of how well the defense is really playing. Offense can be terrible, constantly punting from their own 20 punting to just beyond the 50, or turning the ball over defense only gives up maybe 30 yards but enough to put them filed goal range or TD range. So a team could give up many points but more due to their own offense ineptness where as yards does measure how much of shutdown unit the defense actually is. Wins are determined by scores, not yards. Where it matters, the Bills have the #1 defense. Sorry if that blew your mind. Scoring is probably more important, though.

You did say that, of course they could win out but wouldn't bet the ranch on it. I'll settle for saying they look good for the bungle game and leave it at that.

napmaster Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The bills were the 4th best defense heading into this weekend based on per drive analysis. They were 1st in scoring per drive, but 8th in yards per drive. Just one way to slice the stats, but it seems pretty effective. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/drivestatsdef2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
