Some Interesting Tidbits - 2021 Bills vs Playoff Qualifiers

Recommended Posts

  1.   In the 6 games vs Playoff Qualifiers the Bill record was 2-4,  Avg Margin of Defeat in 4 losses was 5 points,  Avg Margin of Victory in 2 wins was 15 points.  
  2.   Buffalo Defense gave up 145 points in 6 games (24.17 ppg) vs 2021 Playoff qualifiers (Pats 2x, PIT, TEN, KC, TAM).  D gave up 144 total points in 11 other games (13 ppg).
  3.   Buffalo Offense scored 155 points in 6 games (25.83 ppg) vs 2021 Playoff qualifiers (Pats 2x, PIT, TEN, KC, TAM).  They scored 328 pints in 11 other games (29.8 ppg).
  4.  Josh in the 6 games vs Playoff Qualifiers,  averaged 284 YPG passing,  6 game totals 10 Passing TDs, 2 INTs2 Rushing TDs.
  5.  Bills were 0-2 at Home and 2-2 on the road in the 6 games vs Playoff Qualifiers.  Both Bills wins were on the Road!

 

My takeaways:

 Josh is not the reason Bills lost these games.  Our D was a liability vs TEN, TAM 1st half and 1st NE game.  

 Bills  played well enough to win in all but PIT loss 

 

And a throwaway:

Buffalo Defense finished with 42 sacks, with 14 of them (1/3 of total for season) occurring in last 2 games vs Falcons and Jets.  Getting better or weak opposition?

The Bengals played it smart,  losing to avoid playing KC and know the Titans are a weak top seed

I say consider the opposition.  Teams, of course, all beef up stats vs weaker teams.

That’s why they moved the Pats game to 4:25 too. Bills could have purposely lost to Jets if they already knew the Pats lost. Bengals had the luxury of resting players, but probably more about the rest than the opponent.
