Ccaw Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I get folks being edgy. Yet all the doom and gloom of KC is better, Cincinnati is better? After a quick scan looks like we had the biggest point differential this week. Maybe I didn’t catch one better but damn. And, the weather was horrific. Not gonna be anyone slinging the ball in those brutal conditions. We won in solid fashion. 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 We also lead the NFL in point differential on the season at +157 by 12 points over the 49ers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generic_Bills_Fan Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 People will one day learn that the weather hurts both teams but almost always the team without josh Allen more lol it’s not gonna be pretty on a windy day with wind chills below zero usually. There’s a lot of positives to take out of today too 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Reminded me of the first Fins game last year as far as miserable road blowouts go. Remember people. We're only happy with a victory if our passing game was humming and Josh played lights out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well.......at least for 1 week that is.😂 The goalpost moves by some of the negative posters always makes me chuckle…all week it was ‘we can’t run or stop the run, fields is great this is a trap game’ and we blow them out but it’s still not good enough lol seems like some people would’ve preferred if josh went off but we won a close one which makes no sense to me Edited December 25, 2022 by Generic_Bills_Fan 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today our defense stopped Fields and Chicago's vaunted running attack(#1 in the league). And we ran the ball better than we have in a long time. Plus they were comfortably ahead in the 4th, giving a much needed break for many fan's hearts. Many of y'all are too uptight(You know who you are) lol. I absolutely loved today's game. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 The only thing to be mad about from last night is the number of really dumb individual mistakes. The team played well, totally overwhelmed and dominated Chicago and the differential would have been bigger but for some shoot ourselves in the foot moments. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others here have pointed out, doesn't really matter. The only differential that matters is W-L. Of course, point differential doesn't mean anything in the long run. The OP isn't saying it is going to guarantee us a Super Bowl. But when so many fans keep saying that we can't beat teams like KC and Cincy the way we are playing, yet we have the best point differential in the league and currently have played the third most difficult schedule in the league (just a hair behind Miami and the Jets), well, it does make a good case that those fans may be overreacting. To be fair, Cincy has currently played the 5th toughest schedule and KC has played the 7th toughest schedule (so they haven't had a cake-walk either) and they sit 6th and 5th in point differential, respectively. But imo, it is fair for the OP to use the stat to make a case that we are just as good as KC and Cincy (or conversely, that KC and Cincy are just as bad as we are...as some posters would tell it). We all watch the Bills so closely that we see all of their warts, but too many fans seem to compare that over-scrutinizing of our team against highlight packages of other teams and seem to think that teams like KC and Cincy don't make similar mistakes (penalties, turnovers, close games vs. lower-ranked teams, etc.).

Thurman#1 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 No, you're not seeing the big picture. Point differential doesn't mean anything. The key thing is wins in one-score games!!! Oh, wait, we're doing well at that this year? Then the key stat is wins in one-score games in the last two years. That's what tells you everything you need to know. Oh, and point differential in the last seven games against teams with winning records. I'm telling you, this team is in deep trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
