Only a few of them. The bare numbers on points and 3rd downs etc... the other are all averages and percentages. They are not skewed. The main thing that jumps out to me is the Jags are 2nd best in not giving away passing TDs. Explains a little bit the Bills struggles. The teams that have routed them have been able to run it on them, especially in the redzone. Still a shocking result, no question, but that is an interesting them to reflect on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some kind of a Sports writers conspiracy It's the same story -- the most talented, flashiest players get the ink. The Bills defense probably doesn't have the best player in the league at any position, but it's the best overall defense because of the way they play together. Also the Bills don't get lots of sacks, and I certainly wouldn't mind improvement in that area, but they excel even without those sacks. 7 hours ago, GunnerBill said: Only a few of them.

Who has routed the Bills? No one. The only time the D faltered was when they wore down against Tennessee, and that was made possible only by the refs allowing three holds against our DBs on Henry's long run.

DCofNC Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 1) they have had a bye week 2) the offenses they have played have been as putrid as it gets in the NFL vs almost every team. 3) they are good, not nearly as dominant as the stats say they are.

The teams who have routed the Jags. I thought that was obvious 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
