Cash Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 21 hours ago, thenorthremembers said: Do you happen to have stats showing the percentage other teams are blown out or perhaps a baseline of what constitutes a blowout? Otherwise this stat means absolutely nothing A quick look at pro football reference shows 550 regular season games in the last 10 years that were decided by 20 points or more. There are 32*16/2 = 256 games every year, so 2560 games from 2008-2017. 550/2560 = about 21%. So McD is off to an above-average start, although I don't have time to tell you how far above average. Looking at just the Bills over that span, McD's teams really do jump out compared to the last few years. We only lost by 20 or more twice in 64 games from 2013-2016, but it's already been 6 times in 21 games since 2017. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedboy7 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I'm really enjoying this rebuild. The fun part of a rebuild is that you can actually coach terribly, be undisciplined, trade away all talent, put out a garbage product with no clear future plan (i know we will have huge cap space and no other team will)..... and its just a rebuild. Can't argue that one ha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) 23 hours ago, Scott7975 said: Considering the roster I think they are pretty competitive. There might be 4 true starters on this team that aren't over the hill. You have to give it time. This isn't going to fix itself overnight. This roster is a dumpster fire and that is on purpose. Whether or not they are good at building a roster in the next couple years, I don't know. This isn't the time to panic though. Exactly, it's going to take all of 19 & 20 to finally get the older players retired like Kyle, Alexander and maybe McCoy. Replace a garbage OL/WR corp so Allen has a fighting chance at development. And continue to supplement a promising young defensive unit. I expected nothing this year and tried not to get sucked in by the Viking game. I also expect very little next year too. Hopefully 2020 will be our explosive year after B&B retire. Edited October 2, 2018 by LABILLBACKER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think Beane and the Pegulas are going to sacrifice their quarterback for the defensive head coach? I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that I "hope" is that it doesn't come to that, Allen shows demonstrated progress throughout these next two months and that by December he's showing signs of greatness.
