Bills#23Iowa Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I was looking at the Bills Stats, and saw we only had 3 ints last season. 2 from McKelvin, against KC, and 1 from Greer in St. Louis. I thought that was pretty sad out of 16 games, but then I realize I was at both of theses games last year, enjoying the beating we give the Chiefs, and the Rams. Maybe I need to move to Buffalo so the team can get more INTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantankerous Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 We had 10 INT's last year. Not as sh------- as 3, but near the bottom of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Well, off the top of my head, I remember game saving int's from Mitchell vs. SD and Corner @ Denver (I think it was him who caught the deflected last ditch toss from Cutler..) Anyway, 2 of the picks you reference were taken to the house, so it ain't all bad.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOBILLS78 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Yeah, I'd like to see them average one a game. But, alas, you usually need to put pressure on the quarterback for that to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, I'm going to be bitching until the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I wonder if it was 3 picks returned for TD's, not 3 total picks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ans4e64 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I wonder if it was 3 picks returned for TD's, not 3 total picks... It was. Jabari had 2 TD's (Jets and Rams) and McKelvin had 1 (Chiefs). I remember Mitchell against SD, the Poz deflection (Jets?), Corner, McKelvin's 2nd during the Chiefs game, McGee probably had the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I need to move to Buffalo so the team can get more INTS. I think I remember an article that came out in the last month that said we had 3 INTs by the corners last year which is what I think you're refering to. But as stated by an earlier poster we have 10 INTs. Detroit was dead last with 4.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Lack of pass rush is the main reason. Everyone knows that the best wat to get interceptions is to get pressure on the quarterback, and force them to make ill-advised throws. Just ask Ed Reed.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Leodis also had another pick return for a touchdown but it was called back on a defensive holding penalty (against someone else). He's a big time talent and I think a lot of his low interception total in college was simply because teams didn't throw his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Lack of pass rush is the main reason. Exactly right. If we get more pressure on the QB it will force quicker decisions that will lead to bad throws and more INT opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I'm thinking this year's interception statistics might look more like this: Leodis McKelvin 4 Donte Whitner 3 Jairus Byrd 2 Terrence McGee 2 Kawicka Mitchell 2 Paul Posluszny 1 Aaron Maybin 1 Reggie Corner 1 Ellis Lankster 1 TOTAL 17 OPPONENTS TOTAL 10 Any Thoughts?

Britbillsfan Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Exactly right. If we get more pressure on the QB it will force quicker decisions that will lead to bad throws and more INT opportunities. Also a LOT of interceptions are thrown late in the game with a team chasing a decent sized lead, forcing them to throw in when the defence knows what is coming next. Since we had decent sized leads so rarely this was never much of a concern when playing against the Bills... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Everyone knows that the best wat to get interceptions is to get pressure on the quarterback, and force them to make ill-advised throws. Just ask Ed Reed. I thought it was because Ed Reed is the greatest safety since Ronnie Lott and therefore Donte Whitner sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
