8th In "D" - 2nd in "O"!?!?!

[MarlinTheMagician]

Was surprised to see FoxSports rankings based on yards after this week.  We are 2nd in offense and 8th in defense?!  It has not looked nearly that good to me under the "eye test", but if the D can really be a true top 10 unit and the offense can get it together - we could have something with that kind of balance.  Lotta season left.

You know who else finished with the number 2 rated offense and number 8 rated defense? 
 

The 2014 Patriots who won the Super Bowl. 
 

They finished 12-4 in the regular season.

The problem is: you don't know which Bills will show up.

 

The Bills who manhandled the Chiefs or Panthers--or the Bills who collapsed at Texans/Dolphins. I would score those two versions of the Bills very differently.

I don’t think you can put the Texans in the same category as the Dolphins. 
 

The Texans defense is legit. Although I do think the Bills will beat them if the Bills have most of their guys back and we play them again.

Currently 6th in points for and twelfth in points against. The only stats that matter imho.

Does anyone remember that San Diego Chargers team that finished both first in total Offense and Defense, but somehow still missed the playoffs at 9-7?
