Lieutenant Aldo Raine Posted July 21 Posted July 21 20 hours ago, Special K said: Last year, he had 28 passing TD's and 12 Rushing TD's for a total of 40 combined TD's. How many TDs would he have had if he didn't sit several 4th QTR of games last year. You could probably safely assume at least 4-5 more touchdowns. 1 Quote

With all the moves made by Beane this offseason I am curious to see what the defense looks like this year. 1 Quote

This more or less my thinking. We know Josh can score 45 TDs. The point is for other guys to contribute. Cook has been a great start. As awesome as Josh running it is, I’d like to see Brady tone it down more. We’ve got some great RAC options all over this offense. Quote
billsfan89 Posted July 21 Posted July 21 If he's healthy I think he gets it. Mid to upper 30's passing TD's and 8-10 rushing TD's seems doable. Cook vultured a lot of TD's on the ground last season so there's room for positive regression in total passing TD's that could easily compensate for a lower level of Josh rushing TD's. Secondly while the defense was bad at times last year the defense also was good against bad to average offenses. The Bills got elite defensive performances in 6 games last year letting up on 14 or less points. All 6 of those games were blowouts. The Bills were nursing leads late in about 8 games last year plus the one blowout loss against the Ravens. So the argument that the Bills defense could be improved and lead to more blowouts and less shootouts is also a bit flawed because about 9 games last year were blowouts for or against the Bills. So the regression there is not likely to be major. The Bills defense gave up a ton of points in shoot out situations against the Fins second game (27 points), Rams (48 points), Lions (42 points a little window dressing on that but still left the door open for Josh to have to score more), and Cards opening day (28 points). Only other game where the Bills gave up massive points was in the Ravens loss and that was not a shoot out given the offenses lack of matching production. So that's only 5 games where the defense gave up more than 23 points. The defense even if it improves and clamps down on 1-2 more games that's not a lot of negative regression either. The Bills also did not play Josh against the Pats in week 18. I hope the Bills are getting that same chance to rest starters because they got their seed (2 or better) locked up but it is possible for Josh to get a full games worth of additional opportunities for TD's if needed.
