Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Defensive ranks (ypg) of teams played through 5 games: 1.Denver 2.Cincinatti 3.Carolina 10.Atlanta 25. NY Jets And the teams we have left to play: 32. New England 31. Indianapolis 30. Tampa Bay 29. New Orleans 27. Kansas City 25. NY Jets 24. LA Chargers 23. Oakland 8. Miami (only team in league with an offense ranked worse than ours) The offense has to improve right? Question is how much and is it enough to get to 9 or 10 wins?

billsfan714 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Im confident the Bills offense will improve those teams defensive rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 I wonder how much those team rankings were aided by playing the Bills.... I don't think Denver went from #10 to #1 just by playing us if that is what you are wondering. No doubt we aided those rankings some but those are good defenses even without our help.

JM2009 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 What's sad is that the offense of the last two years with this defense could have won the division this year.For sure make a WC with the AFC down like it is. I wonder how much those team rankings were aided by playing the Bills.... We beat two of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) I legitimately expect our offense to come out from the bye and look a lot better than they have, despite our depleted WR corps and missing Clay. We've had a murderer's row of a schedule and have done exactly what a good team is supposed to do: protect your home turf and steal some on the road. this has been a pretty crappy bye in terms of posting on here. I'm generally staying away because people are so melancholy about this team, which is ridiculous to me. this has been a pretty crappy bye in terms of posting on here.

We're 3-2 and I bet we've had one of the toughest schedules through 5 games and we have been close to winning even the games we've lost.

We got to get it going against a 30th ranked Tampa Bay defense at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Beat Tampa and Oakland. That is all that matters. Win those two. Whether we score 10 points or 30 points. Go 2-0 after the bye and the playoffs are on. 1-1 it is a longshot. 0-2 and the tank begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEN-CAL17 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Many of those teams left can score big points... Thing is.... if we cant score 20-25 pts against half those teams, we will loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samwell Tarly Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 There is an opportunity this year. More so than I originally thought. However, Dennison will have to find a way to generate some semblance of an offense because if they go 3 and out a lot and force the defense to play 70 percent of each game its going to be a long season. Sharpen your pencil, Rick. If you can scrape together about 20 points a game and control the clock, you might have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Unless our WR group improves quickly, and Dennison finds a way to get the running game going, we will be on the outside looking in by December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripple Creek Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Defensive ranks (ypg) of teams played through 5 games: 1.Denver 2.Cincinatti 3.Carolina 10.Atlanta 25.

Miami (only team in league with an offense ranked worse than ours) The offense has to improve right? Question is how much and is it enough to get to 9 or 10 wins? Wentz was able to find 3 TDs against that Carolina defense. I understand that he has more experience than Tyrod, but not that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
