Just a couple of stops and it’s a totally different ball game.. lol (before anyone gets their undies twisted I am not saying they should or could have just that I was more disappointed in them than the O.

Big Turk Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 So let me get this straight...made up wins now count more than actual wins? Chiefs have won 8 straight, Fins 7 straight... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanSD Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I give the Dolphins full credit for winning 7 straight games. That's hard to do in the NFL, regardless of who you're playing. But let's be real here. Nobody really thinks that Miami is any threat to make noise in the playoffs, right? I mean, really now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermes Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) @JoPoy88 @Chandler#81, et al. I've mulled it over today after lunch and I'm doubling down on my initial assertion that the Bills are quietly the hottest team in the NFL. After listening to some wgr and realizing just how proficient Josh has been along with the emergence of the run game and overall solid defensive play. The Bills have lost their last game this season and the win against the Pats in Foxborough is the type of game that defines seasons. The Bills are getting hot at the right time and the league is about to get put on notice Edited December 28, 2021 by Hermes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDingus Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Chiefs: 8 game win streak, only AFC team to clinch playoff spot Colts: 8-2 over last 10 games after starting 1-4 Dolphins: First team to lose 7 straight games, then win 7 straight games in the same season. In a more progressive future, they could be the first team to win 7 gay games too! (Stole that joke from Brandon Perna on YT 😂) Bills: 2 game win streak... Yes, very quiet indeed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are on a 15-game hot streak if you don’t count the losses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about winning streaks is that they inevitably come to an end. I'm not sure the statistics on it either, although it always seems that the longer the streak goes the harder it is to maintain. I.e winning the fifth in a row is easier than winning the twelfth, obviously the opponents have a lot to do with it but that's my perception of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily that interpretation of it. Just that a team is less likely to win a particular game based on how long the winning streak is. So if all things were equal a team would have a lower chance of winning the further along in the streak they are. It would take some serious statistical analysis and a look at how likely a team is to win in a given week (DVOA?). Someone may have compiled the data I'm referring to but I'm not going to put in the effort to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t realistically expecting score more than 21_28 points. I get your point of view. You're a Pats fan, they're your team and that's cool. I view my Bills' world through rose colored glasses also. From my point of view, this game was not close. From the opening series, Buffalo was in total control, total command. NE is fortunate that we didn't hang 45 on them. It simply was not close. Also, going back to Buffalo's Monday Night loss, we walked off the field proving that we were a superior football team to the Patriots. We could have won the game three times in the 4th quarter. NE couldn't prevent it. We lost - they did not win. If we get NE in the playoffs, we will win by 17 or more. Sunday's game was not close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
