Sierra Foothills Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Regarding the 4 turnovers vs the Rams that some have mentioned to cheapen the fact that the Bills didn't punt : The interception caused by McKenzie occured at the Rams 24 yard line. The fumble by Moss' occured at the Rams 16 yard line. So in any event, the Bills were not going to punt on either of those two possessions. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sierra Foothills Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Further perspective: A puntless game by an NFL team happens about once every 50 games or 2% of the time. The Bills have not punted in 3 of their last 5 regular season games (60%) and 4 of their last 6 games including playoffs (67%). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This of the first time since the 30s a team has only punted in 1 regular season game of the last 4. Add in a few amazing playoffs games and it's an amazing stretch that maybe extended another week or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My math says Go Bills ! I made it up. Actually I read it somewhere... I've tried to find where but in the meantime here's a link documenting 32 occurrences in the last 4+ seasons: https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/least-amount-of-punts-in-a-nfl-game edit: According to the above link the game on 11/23/17 was week 12 which means that there have been 32 no punt games in the last (approximately) 672 games. That calculates to about 4.76% of the time. Good enough? Edited September 14, 2022 by Sierra Foothills 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Why quibble? It’s rare bottom line. 3 of 4 or 4 of 6 is impressive however you slice it. They do it again against the Titans (which is possible) and it will be a national talking point on every show. Then it will be punt watch each week. I didn’t see Kyle Brandts comments if anyone has the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of the 4 turnovers I expect the Bills to be a lot more careful with the ball this week. The offense finally has a game under their belt as they really didn't play in the preseason.

StHustle Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I love Josh as much as the rest of us but he shouldn’t be a weekly guest on any show.

LeGOATski Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 The Bills were not going to punt in that game. Let's be real here. I like that Josh and the team are focusing on how to improve, though. Humble and hungry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are 2 teams playing each game so the % would be halved for any "team" having a no-punt game. That's a 1.4% chance. Now the odds of the same team having say 3 of the last 4 games played with no punts has to be really high. I used to know the formula basics for that, I'll try to figure it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for finishing the drive. 👍 Upthread I mentioned that based on something I had read, the occurrence of one team not punting occurs about 2% of the time. That number and the number you calculated are pretty close so yes, going puntless in 3 of the last 5 (and 4 of the last 6 when including the playoffs) is an amazing accomplishment for the Bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exceptionally rare. I know how to figure it happening two times in a row. 1.8% comes to a 1/56 odds. For 2 times in a row, you multiply the odds. 1/56 x 1/56 = 1/3,136. What I can't remember is how to do "this happens 3 out of 4 times" calculations. I must have killed those brain cells year ago. Probably during the drought! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
