Bills might very well be the worst offensive team in NFL history compared to the era they play in

2 mind numbing stats:
 
1) There are only 4 QBs who have thrown at least 3 more INTs than TD passes this season. 3 of them are on the Bills and the other is Jameis Winston who got benched.
 
2) The Bills are on pace to have 6 TD passes and 26 INTs for the season. The other 31 teams are on pace to average 29 TD passes and 14 INTs

To add some additional perspective, the 0-16 Browns last season had 15 passing TDs and 28 INTs.  

 

How on earth we've won two games is perplexing.  Or perhaps I'm looking at it backwards, how on earth the Browns managed to win none, ...  

 

To surpass last season's 0-16 Browns we'd have to average over 1 TD/game and and significantly decrease our INTs.

We are on pace to end up with fewer INT's than the Browns did already, we'd actually have to increase our INT rate...

Peterman vs. the Bears defense (near the top of the league in INTs with 11) is just what the doctor ordered on that front!

Yet Allen had pretty good games against the Chargers and Vikings.  It's pretty clear he was asked to stop doing that.  

 

On an absolutely putrid talented offensive team he made things go for a couple of games - which shows me we've got a real chance at a good QB.

My favorite data point this week: the Pats gave up 6 points against the Bills (no TDs) and their defensive DVOA ranking (as per Football Outsiders) declined because the level of competition factors into the equation. It appears that if you give up more than one FG vs. the Bills, you're failing.

No kidding.  I think we all get it by now...this is not news.  

It's hard not to keep appreciating something this historic.  We most likely will never live to see something this putrid again in the history of football.  I don't have a problem with 2-3 threads a day noting the various ways in which this offense is historically bad.

but we're talking about this season. the Browns made moves to get better. if they had a decent kicker, they'd have four wins. the Bills made moves and got much worse, this season.

 

can we stop referring to the Browns as if the Bills are light years ahead. put them both on the field right now, the browns get the W.

Might?

I've mentioned it in other threads as well, but have a look at our 1971 stats.  Arguably the worst season in Bills history.

 

At the halfway mark of this season, we are on pace to be worse than 1971 in terms of point differential.

 

We were -210 in 1971 (14 game season).  

 

We are currently -113.

 

Our opponent on Sunday, the Bears, are currently +50.

Only by 2.  But consider, the Browns' rate of INTs last season was 4.9% whereas ours is 5.4%.  

 

Also, contrast that with Cleveland's TD% last season was 2.6% and they had 15 TDs to our pace for 6 and our TD% of 1.2%.  

 

Should be an interesting 2nd half of the season to be sure, and not in a good way.

Even in light of the lack of offensive talent...its still amazing.  You'd think a team would be able to luck into a few TDs here and there but man, nothing is working this year.

It’s the football gods punishing us for making the playoffs last year.

Every historic offense or defense needs a name: the K-Gun, the 46, the steel curtain, the Tampa 2, the Flex Defense, the Greatest Show on Turf, etc. etc.

 

My vote: The Tecmo Bowl offense.

Imagine scoring less than 200 points and giving up 400.  That's 84-85 Bills territory there for a 16 game season.  

 

Not even DJ or the Chan/Buddy years rivaled that.  

 

Yeah but the NFL was much different then.........MUCH less parity..........no salary cap to even rosters out.......smart teams could hold star players in perpetuity and stash developmental players for years on end.......all those guys end up getting re-distributed in free agency now.

 

There was an excuse then.

 

There isn't now.

 

What we are seeing now in an era of high powered offenses is awe-inspiringly bad offense from the Bills.

What choice do you have?

 

To not trust them and be critical of their poor performance?

 

Do you think your unwavering support of Jauron and Chan and Rex has made any positive impact or difference at all?

 

Because it hasn't.

 

None of it matters..........it's just a product and a pastime.
