QLBillsFan Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 We don’t like sacks just pressures. That’s a great stat but hope it leads to more sacks and turnovers! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Yeah we pressure a lot but never get to the QB in time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Wow that is shocking to hear. Would never have imagined we'd be anywhere near the top. Sure it's not 4th from the bottom?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeerie Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I think they're measuring how much our defense pressures our offense to score more. 6 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costrovs Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 just enough to give the opposing QB's a good startle.... "RAHH!!! I'd sack you, but there's like a 50/50 chance it's gonna be a 15 yard penalty... so... RAAHH!!" - Bills D-Line 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Quint Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 And we have very few defensive turnovers, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyBeets Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) This is a nice statistic and honestly it's evident by watching the game. The problem is our horrendous run defense! Edited November 6, 2020 by TonyBeets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 We like to pressure the QB into a 10 yard scramble. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebert19 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Almost every QB we face are not looking for deep passes. Fitz darnold carr tanny Goff all got ball out of hands immediately. Therefore pressure doesn't get home. 2 minutes ago, TonyBeets said: This is a nice statistics and honestly it's evident by watching the game. The problem is our horrendous run defense! Yes and no. Its also the fact that teams have 5 to 7 yard passes in middle of field whenever they want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) One of my least favorite stats in the NFL. It's akin to keeping a stat saying a Quarterback had the highest percentage of passes that were almost caught. Its too subjective. What constitutes a "pressure" how close do you have to be to the QB? And who decides that? Edited November 6, 2020 by thenorthremembers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 But they haven't contained the QB super well. They'll get pressure but allow a lane for the QB to escape the pocket and make a throw on the run, or pick up yards with their feet. I'd actually like to see them stay in their rushing lanes better and contain the QB and running backs even if that means less pressure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Caveman Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 What happens if you take out the Jets and Patriots games? I mean I know that's kind of a cop out, but it seems like when we play a terrible offensive line we get lots of pressure, and when we play a line with a pulse we are putrid.

hondo in seattle Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) I'm not sure how exactly they define "pressure" but there may be two kinds: 1. Jerry Hughes beats his man with a swim move, pressures the QB who steps up to avoid Hughes and then gets sacked by Oliver. 2. Jerry Hughes beats his man with a swim move, pressures the QB who steps up to avoid the sack and delivers a strike for a first down. Pressure is good. Sacks are better. To get sacks, it helps to have multiple points of pressure and that hadn't been happening nearly enough earlier this season.
