Defensively it has to be first or second in most of those categories against teams more inept than what Buffalo has faced. Home against the Steelers who were questionable even with a healthy Big Ben @ Miami a grand total of 16 points in 3 games Home against the JETS running the Mono gambit with their starting QB. lets not pretend who we've faced and under what circumstances 20 minutes ago, Nester said: The pats have not allowed a touchdown in 4 games including the super bowl. how is that overrated? see who they played above.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) 8 – The number of consecutive games in which Josh Allen has thrown for 200 yards or more. 8 – Number of 70-plus yard touchdown drives to open the season. It’s the first time in team history that has happened. The longest team streak of 70-plus yard touchdown drives is 12 (2016-17). 125 – Josh Allen’s fourth quarter passer rating this season, good for third-best in the league for QBs with at least 10 pass attempts. 73.8% - The odds for a team starting the season 3-0 to reach the playoffs since 1990 (104 of 141). 36% - The three-and-out percentage of opposing offenses against Buffalo’s defense. The Bills lead the league in this category. 78.3% - John Brown’s catch percentage, which ranks 10th in the NFL among receivers with at least 15 targets. 400 - After holding the Bengals to 306 total net yards this past Sunday, Buffalo extended their streak of holding their opponents under 400 yards to 15 games. That’s the second-longest active streak in the league with only the L.A. Chargers ahead of them at 16 games. That span goes back to Week 5 of the 2018 season and over that stretch Buffalo does lead the league in yards per pass attempt allowed at an anemic 5.83 yards per attempt. Chicago is second at 5.94. The Bills defense also has the second-most interceptions over that length of time with 18 after Tre’Davious White added two more to their total Sunday. Only Chicago and New England have more INTs since Week 5 of last season with 20 each https://www.buffalobills.com/news/8-numbers-to-know-about-buffalo-s-top-10-offensive-and-defensive-rankings Edited September 24, 2019 by SlimShady'sGhost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I expect the Bills defense to do a pretty solid ( if maybe unspectacular) job. The crowd will be into it for sure, at least at the outset. The deciding factor will likely be Josh Allen and the Bills offense as a whole. If the Bills manage to win this game, it will probably due to efficient and largely error free offense that controls the clock with Allen hitting on some big plays.

eball Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 The Pats*** have an excellent defense and one of the best defensive coaches in history. That said, their statistics so far this season are not sustainable. That's not an opinion, it's fact. The '85 Bears defense didn't have this type of performance over the course of an entire season. Same for the 2000 Ravens. The Pats*** are due for a dropoff and I think the Bills are the perfect team to bring them back to reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that and got this in my head I started seeing math definitions Sum of the Roots, r1 + r2: Product of the Roots, r. r2: The sum of the roots of a quadratic equation is equal to the negation of the coefficient of the second term, divided by the leading coefficient Edited September 24, 2019 by SlimShady'sGhost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol you can try to discredit the patriots defense all you want. The 8 of 52 on 3rd down attempts over the last 4 including one of the best offenses in the nfl is pretty telling. The trend will continie this week against buffalo. I know bills fans are hyping this game up. But its gonna be a long day for you. And teams havent been generally getting off to a fast start. Since the pittsburgh loss the patriots have allowed a total of 10 first half points. Thats 8 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief, they had the "greatest of runs" and you want to give them 15 years more because of what fans say? The AFCE has been locked for almost 2 decades................it's about time for it to resemble any other division in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yards, passing, rushing and point allowed. But keep in mind they played the #32, #31 and #30 offenses. Bills D is #5 in yards per game, #9 in passing yards allowed, #8 in rushing yards allowed and #5 in points allowed. And we played better 0-3 teams. These will be the toughest defenses either team seen so far. 1 hour ago, klos63 said: defending super bowl champs , starting out 3-0 crushing teams. Probably rated properly? See above.
