BuffaloBill Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Given how early it is in the season, it’s still a bit premature to put much stock in team statistics. However, in terms of yards, Bills are #2 D and #3 Offense. This in spite of starters on both sides of the ball sitting a full Q + in the Titans game. https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/team It will be interesting to see if the Bills keep this up over the course of the season. Miami, according top the stat line will be a true test of the Bills D. The reality is that injuries will be a true testa of the Bills depth especially at CB as I assume Jackson will not be able to play on Sunday. It’s amazing to think the Bills D will only improve as Tre returns to health and form over the latter part of the season. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 To stay on theme, you should have made this title "Is anyone concerned the Bills only have the #2 Defense and #3 Offense?".

UKBillFan Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 What is shows on offense is we're clinical on the yards we gain. They don't tend to be 'dead yards' where we don't pick up points at the end of it. But I think we knew that already. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Our schedule after the Packers is a joke. As long as they stay relatively healthy the Bills will be statistically dominant this year. We'll finish as a top 2 defense, which is the only thing that could possibly stop us from doing the same on offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills are 2nd in yards to the 49ers and 2nd in scoring to Tampa, but #1 in takeaways. They are 2nd in sacks to Tampa. There are a handful of really good defenses so far after two weeks. But I think the Bills have played better teams than the 49ers or Buccs, so to me the defensive showing for the Bills has been more impressive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amarillo Bills Fan Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Based on these numbers I say we have the advantage over Miami this weekend. I think our D-Line pressures Tua which causes miss throws, interceptions and general havoc. Our offense takes advantage of their poor D #'s. Go Bills. Squish the Fish.

They can stop the run better as well as get to the QB. Our D line is much stouter this year. The Bull rushes from Rousseau, Epenesa, Phillips etc have been absolutely stunning and beautiful. Not only can we stop the run but we can get interior pressure regularly which makes every other positions job that much easier. Nothing is given, especially health but the front half of this schedule is tough. We already held two of the better looking teams to low yardage totals. By the end of this year we should be the number 1 Defense again. Offense….? If we continue to crush multiple teams this year ( which I think most of us expect) Josh and company could be taking a lot of drives off, thus limiting his and the O’s totals. This would be awesome!

Behindenemylines Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I would expect the Bills yardage to be slightly less when you have a dominant D. Your offense tends to start with a shorter field based upon the opposing punter so you have less yards to gain per possession. for me it’s points per game number in the W column.

Tua - Only has that many yards because he threw 2 pic in the first half and was down 21 points and had to throw practically every play and got a couple long broken coverage freebies. Wentz - Same scenario, was down and had to keep throwing non stop Flacco - Same scenario, was down big and had to throw constantly and got over 100 yards extra because Nick Chubb didnt take a knee. Herbert - Legit passing yards, but took an extra quarter to get to one yard less than Josh Allen with less TD's. Allen got all his yards dominating teams, not playing from behind, and did it 7 quarters instead of 8. Plus Allen has even more rushing yards to go with that, and did this while missing one of his top weapons one of those games (so did Hebert too). If I was to make a top 5 list of people in MVP consideration after week 2, its Allen out in front, followed by Mahomes, Hebert, Lamar, and Diggs as the top 5 guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
