RoyBatty is alive Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Yesterday was a huge plus for special teams for sure. Not sure about #2 on offense anymore. To start the year yes but it has but up ad down since then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuscott16 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I think this team has figure out how to win, even if it's ugly. The offense has been sporadic at times, but compared to years past it has been more consistent overall. I think people get frustrated we don't have the big plays like we have seen. It honestly feels more like the Brady lead Pats teams. Very steady and tricky in that you feel like they aren't doing much but they are putting up substantial yards and consistent points. Defense is very similar too. Feels like teams move on them at will but the number say otherwise. Not playing a high powered Bengals offense helped them with the final stats though. I hope they get to the next gear for the playoffs if, for nothing else, my heart health. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 All the advanced team metrics love Bills DVOA, SRS, FPI, 538. The eye test hasn't been passed lately. 1 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bengals got waxed by the Browns and arguably should have lost to the Patriots if not for a bad non-call on Stevenson's forward progress. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 #4 defense even though about half of the key starters were injured. #2 offense even though we can't/won't commit to the run. Man, we need new coordinators. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My eyes are seeing that the Bills haven't lost a game since Nov. 13th and that their three losses were by a total of 8 points combined .. and that the Bills have the 2nd best point differential in the NFL. Passing with flying colors, in my opinion. 11 2 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never seemed to think they were unbeatable and it looked a bit clunky at times but when it needed to get done it got done. People seem to forget that even with all the injuries, issues, setbacks this team is still 13-3 and its 3 losses have come from a combined 8(!) points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We scored less than 20 once all season and that was because our entire offensive line was injured lol DVOA factors in opponents and we’ve got two division rivals with really tough defenses to score on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF played one more game than they did. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, we need new coordinators. Shouldn’t we just fire everyone and clean house properly? Like McD, I think Dorsey needs some time to grow into the job. People get upset with Frazier because of our frustrating style of keeping things in front of us, but it works. Regardless, he’s just running McD’s system. .

The playoffs is the only season that matters. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincy who is apparently the best thing since sliced bread got taken right down to the wire by NE and would’ve lost that game if it weren’t for a key fumble. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenson had been driven back three yards and progress had been stopped. Not challengeable, though. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick question, which team has looked better in all of those categories? Kansas City hasn't exactly been steamrolling the world this year either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how fun it will be if we starting clicking again for the playoffs. We all know Super Bowls are won when you peak at the right time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
