We either win big or lose in a close one. #1 defense, #6 offense, #1 in point differential... yet only 9-6. The Pack, in comparison: #11 defense, #15 offense, #11 in point differential... yet 12-3. I want to say that we're a better team than our record says we are - except that you are always exactly the team your record says you are. Those defense stats are very misleading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st pete gogolak Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 One interesting tidbit. Usually when you say "X plays and we'd be whatever", the comeback is "but Y plays and you're so and so." That isn't true with this team. Every win has been a blowout. It's been an inability to run the ball in the red zone, combined with a couple of bad calls and combined with some bad luck and the result is 0 - 5 in one score games. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 There is a bit of luck involved especially the kicking game. The Bills have had 18/20 (90%) FGs made against them. Meanwhile the Patriots are at 19/30 63%. Imagine kickers making 1 in their next 10 against us? That probably gets us a Super Bowl championship. Retrospectively if the Bills had same % made against them so far, that’s 5 less field goals, which wins us the Jacksonville & first New England game. At 11-4, the Bills would be the current #1 seed by virtue of the head to head tie break with KC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Bills Fan Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I'd say Titans and Bucs we should have won. The bad officiating with the Bucs and the badly botched last play against Tennessee should not have happened. The others were more complicated. I thought we'd be 14-3 but we got some bad bounces. 11-6 with another division title with the team going into the playoffs hot works for me. They redeemed themselves and now look extremely dangerous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebert19 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 All balances out. We won a couple last year maybe we didn't deserve. We lost a couple this year we maybe did. I like to think with a run of bad luck we are due for some good luck at right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
