BillsFan619 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) McD preaches complementary football. The Bills are playing on another level. It’s more like complementary domination so far. The Bills have a point differential of 91 points. To put that into perspective, the two teams with the second highest point differential are the Eagles and 49ers at 47 points. The Bills almost double that total. Get this, if KC wins by 21 points over the Raiders tomorrow their differential will only be 54 points. Our defense is tied with the 49ers for the lowest points surrendered in the NFL at 61 points. You could argue that if our offense didn’t gift the opposing offense two very short fields (starting inside the ten yard line both times) in back to back games that our defense would only have given up 47 points at this point. I digress though. Moving on. Our offense has scored 152 points. That’s an average of 30.4ppg vs. 12.2ppg. We’re outscoring our opponents by a 2.5 times margin. This is all being done while supposedly being in the harder part of our schedule. We’ve played the Super Bowl champs, the #1 AFC seed from last year (and still the current #1 team in their division) and also the current #1 team in the AFC North division. This is also all being done with the rash of injuries to start the season. Yep, complementary domination at its finest. Go Bills. Bring on KC.

Crazy level of play. Truly unbelievable stats. Minus 3 all pro DBs and a pro bowl LB. Minus our starting slot and TE. When Davis is healthy, we're nearly unstoppable Should have been 41 points in a half against a respectable defense Our depth is absolutely amazing. Beane is nothing short of masterful as a GM I'll never forget his 1st presser in 2017. He said his goal is to build long term, sustainable success and just the way he said it and how he outlined some of his reasoning, I truly believed him. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Montoya Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 We've also had the starting offense sitting on the bench for the entire 4th quarter in 2 of the 5 games so far. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) The Bills are so good it's kind of stunning actually. Like good to the point that sometimes I wonder if they do these crazy things early on like fumble at the 2 yard line just to make things more challenging for themselves. When they get rolling on offense they are almost unstoppable. Defensively, they have allowed a total of 7 points in the 2nd half and that happened largely on a play that would have never happened with Poyer in there on 3rd and 22 against Miami. The 4 other games they have allowed no points in the 2nd half. Also have not allowed a point in the 3rd quarter yet this year. Their adjustments after halftime are exceptional.

CNYfan Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I think there is a way to look at yesterday's matchup through the lens of the NFL Draft process. Without doing a deep dive it seems to me that the Steelers frontload offensive skill players in the draft. Pickett, Pickens, Austin last year, Harris in the 1st round last year (1st round running back?). Claypool early the year before (non-factor). BBB emphasizes the defensive line, and players on defense. Epenesa over Dobbins; two DE's in the first two rounds last year and Elam and Bernard (OL?) last year. Just one way to look at things. It may all be Josh, but that is what I was thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 It's been a long time since one team in the NFL has been so obviously better than everybody else. That's not getting a ton of attention right now because of the Dolphins blemish on our schedule which may actually be a good thing because the team doesn't need that undefeated pressure on top of being SB favorites.

I’ll concede. It wasn’t the most ever by a Bills QB. But considering he did it in 3Qs I’m sure he could have passed that mark with another drive. 2 at the most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome007 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) That Josh would have some games with tons of yards I never questioned, even as so many people on here lamented that "he still didn't have a 300yo game yet". His arm strength alone would ensure that one of these days, he'd have tons of yards in a game. The beauty now is that he's doing it consistently and not just by being a wild gunslinger.

The surrounding Yinzers we were trapped in had no clue of course. Pretty sure he’s not secretly you, but you may have SBC (shared brain cell) The Yinzers were chirpy for maybe 5 minutes of game time : the opening kickoff and first 2 plays, perking up on the blocked figgie and their 3 point drive up till the toe was OB. Then they were quiet and depressed. Glorious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that we were watching something historic. Glorious, indeed! When it was on the Pitt 24, Josh had 324... we said "it's a shame he won't be able to get to 350, he'll probably finish with 348" just before the snap of the Shakir TD. Also correctly predicted that Josh would get benched by the fourth quarter for not getting enough first downs and killing the team on time of possession. TBH sitting among that blob of yinzer black (with the occasional alternate rugby jersey) made it that much better. There were some who kept perspective, i.e. on the Levi interception ("let us have this one, we know we're gonna get rolled but at least we made one play"). Yeah, it was pretty great. And because everyone started rolling out with about 10 minutes left, got home in a relative jiffy. Just a great day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scary part is that aside from the vets and players in their prime, they have several high potential young players on this team that have room to keep improving throughout the season too. They’re so balanced and talented on both offense and defense that I think they’re going from challenging, competitive practices to games where the opposing teams aren’t as tough as what they face in practice. Imagine facing Josh Allen in practice to Kenny Pickett on Sunday, and vice versa for the offense. Sundays may be easier than practice. The phrase iron sharpens iron comes to mind.
