Buried in another thread - 20 straight wins by double digits

[Billsfan1972]

What an incredible streak.

 

Now comes the obvious rebuttal.....  Have lost one possession games almost every other time (Arizona hail mary, Pitt, TB, Tenn, Jax, NE in hurricane).

 

Blown out only by Tennessee and Indy over that time period (oh and KC handled them by 9 in 2020).

 

Maybe time to squeak out a 3-4 point win?😜

   This mean that other teams can only barely beat us but not dominate us or blow us out. This is a Good thing.

This is an incredible stat when you consider 85% of all NFL games are decided in the last few minutes.

I don't think we realize that the Bills are a historically great team...they are doing things that either no team has ever done before in the history of the NFL or only one or two teams have done...and they make it look easy.  Now they just need to win it all to take their place among the best teams in history.  50 years from now they will be still talking about this team if we do.

Sounds like a plan, but a long way to go as we are 2 weeks into this year.

Love how Vegas was trying to trick people by posting Titans +10.. thanks for the free money

[FilthyBeast]

Definitely amazing stuff here, but I want this team to be able to win a close game and hope that opportunity comes sooner than later and not in the playoffs.

i'd rather just have them blow everyone out of the water and rest the starters again.  very likely could happen this weekend.

The Bills have not won anything yet is the point.  Don't need another 30 for 30 lamenting the greatest team no to get the ring.

They have been historically great regardless. 

[eball]

Somebody on this board (ahem) predicted well over a season ago that we were about to enter an era of Bills domination.  I believe this record reflects that.

 

I am unconcerned with "needing to win a close game" because I think those are usually a crap shoot.

 

These Bills now have an identity and killer instinct to put teams away.

Hey Turk, I really hope you're right but it all comes down to winning the Super Bowl or everything else in meaningless.

 

The 2007 Patriots had the greatest regular season ever, they went 16-0 and ultimately won 18 games in a row.  Had the highest point differential in history, +315.  They had 12 games where they scored more than 30 points, again the most in NFL history.  Four consecutive games won by 20 at the start of a season, most ever.  And then they lost to the Giants in the Super Bowl.  They would be considered the greatest NFL team ever if they had won that Super Bowl.  Now they don't even get talked about very much.

 

Let's hope the Bills can have a season like the 2007 Pats and finish it the right way.  It would be incredible to have the 2022 Bills team become legendary.

Yea people overlook this far too often…football is such a high variance sport with its single game elimination playoff format that if you’re looking on an individual season basis the best team doesn’t always win the Super Bowl. That certainly doesn’t take away from how good the team was…it takes a bit of luck to win the Super Bowl

Right but they won quite a few other superbowls during Brady’s tenure though lol on an individual season basis winning the superbowl is a very tough task even for the obvious best team in the league. A single game elimination playoff format is so high variance and you need some good fortune (see the David tyree helmet catch)

that poster is a phins fan.  maybe he feels that if the game is close, even a loss would show miami has improved?  all i know is that he's terrified of the game this coming sunday, and you're going to see a lot of verbal gymnastics from him over the next few days.

I don't think there is any other set of numbers that show how dominate we have been over the last 2 years.

 

The Patriots must be having some easy schedules. 7 though? jeez

[Dan Darragh]

What was our record in games decided by one score last year?  I believe that would be 0-5.

 

I'd take a lot more pride in a few 3 point wins over tough teams.

WOULD YOU RATHER THAT THE BILLS  LOST BY 20 points or less than 7?

I take more pride in being so much better than our opponents that most games don't come down to just one score.

UnBillievable stat. Bill's are just operating on another level. 

 

Salute to McBeane. They operate as 1. McDermott has these boys laser focused and not believing the hype. I can't believe lil old Buffalo is the big dogs and most feared.

[mykidsdad]

We're cooking! I think this stat shows that we are much more likely to win if we score more points than our opponents.

Here's a set of numbers to also consider: according to PFF/PFR, Bills had the 6th easiest schedule in 2021 and faced the worst group of QBs based on total QBR. The highs have been high and the lows have been low..."dominance" is relative.

we had 2 extreme weather games that we would never have lost. Also it said 2 years not one year. year before we had a hard schedule. this means nothing.

And in 2020 our record in one score games was phenomenal.   Just didn’t have that same luck last year.    Ask the Bengals how it is to win one score games.

exactly spot on Taro. and to be honest I feel this number represents who we are today than any other single number as a whole.

    We are at the absolute apex of Organizational success.  We just destroyed two upper echelon teams. Josh demonstrably is reading opposing defenses on an elite level.

The near, middle and long term future look the most promising in decades…..

and your answer is to piss in the cornflakes?

You're right, we did beat KC handily last year.  Just not the second time.

Duh.  Obviously, we'd rather win every damn game we play.  Us losing a handful of close games (which was really more of a statistical anomaly than anything else), doesn't take anything away from the point in the OP.  On the whole, we have been absolutely dominating the majority of our opponents.
