SinceThe70s Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Someone in the Shoutbox today mentioned how the Bills have been answering opposing team points with their own, something I'd been thinking as well so I looked it up. Looking at the scoring summaries the opposing team has scored twice in a row 4 times, and it hasn't happened three times in a row but we answered 18 times. Jets: we answered 2 of their 3 scores Panthers: 1 of 3 Broncos: all 4 Falcons: all 3 Bengals 3 of 4 Bucs all 4 EDIT: 4 of 5 Call it what you want, but I call it encouraging. What's missing is we rarely score first (1 out of 6 games) and rarely score three straight times (once against the Broncos) Edited October 23, 2017 by SinceThe70s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBear Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Actually, Bucs scored two straight touchdowns today. 20-13 to 20-20 - shady fumble - 20-27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 This is an interesting topic. I never really thought about it. Do we know how this compares to other teams in the league? Is there a correlation between this and winning? Intuitively I would say that there is because the more times you answer someone the more points that you are scoring. I suppose though it's possible that some teams score consecutively and give up consecutive scores. The "momentum" part of it intrigues me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Even if it's 3 points it's big. Good find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills offense HAS to be able to score point for point when facing NE, OAK, Brees and the 4-2 Saints and KC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills offense HAS to be able to score point for point when facing NE, OAK, Brees and the 4-2 Saints and KC Yeah, obviously but is it different when a team scores 3 straight and then the other team scores 3 straight vs. them trading back and forth 3 times? That's the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the question. You'd think so, mentally. Guys can get deflated as a deficit increases, but if you're always within striking range you're still engaged. It'd be interesting to see this fleshed out for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side of the coin it sends a message to the other team that we're not going away which could deflate them. More than anything I think its a positive sign that the team is headed in the right direction and not the same old Bills we've seen during the drought.

SaviorPeterman Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Interesting stat I found on Twitter, but the Bills have lost their previous 35 games when allowing 27 or more points until yesterday. Possibly a true franchise game changer with the big comeback win against the Bucs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
