I don't know, man. 5 kids for every 100 times I have sex. Thats like 1 in 20 probability. Roughly the same as the Bills frequency of making playoffs. Which circles back to eball's original post.

is there another kind ?

Guy missed a PAT. Which kicker misses a point after ? This gives me as much comfort as a condom claiming 95% effectiveness.

This is lazy analysis at best. You need to consider that in most games, the D is making it tough on opposing Offenses. Also, the ST have improved. All these aspects are making the Bills look better than they actually are. Next time, do you homework before posting.

They are giving up the 6th fewest yards/game pretty much the standard measure for overall defense. The above stat may be related to short field position their 28th ranked offense is giving to their opponents.

Against what was the #7 defense in the league, if I may add.

You start off by saying that and then proceed to list excuses of why we shouldn't be excited about the win. Reading the rest of your post indicates that you may pretend to be 'happy' but really want to throw a lot of water on the fire of a win.

Considering the options Rex Ryan has, I am willing to give him a pass for not benching Smith quickly. Blame (err... bless) their FO for not having the foresight to sign a competent backup. Heck, Orton was there to be had but it was the Bills that got him.

I agree about the Texans game but yesterday, there were ample opportunities to throw more. The run-run-pass-punt was getting tiresome. But I think it was because of the game situation where Marrone just did not want any of Ortons '1 interception per game' to jeopardize the momentum. If Vick had shown some semblance of mounting a strong comeback in the second half, I bet we would have seen more passes. But I am speculating and need to see more games before a pattern emerges.

I recall Jauron's teams being soft and conservative no matter who the opponent. It bears watching but the run/pass ratio by Marrone appears to be tuned to the opponent and the game situation.

I argue that this 'middle ground' needs to be a constant for any organization whether coming off a winning or losing season. Cannot stand still in the NFL

Neither is it a rallying cry for 'cleaning house' as was the premise to this discussion

How many times has that happened ? Compare that to the times he has diagnosed a play and made a stop at or behind the line of scrimmage. He has shown passion and being a lower round pick, worked his way up. He needs to continue being a Bill. Agreed Safe to say that Whaley knows linebackers.

In the past we would be on the other side of that equation. We were the sad sacks who would lose several games by less than three. The ones about who Belichick said once, 'tough to play, easy to beat'. The ones who didn't know how to win. The view is decidedly greener from this side, no ? Or do you just not want to enjoy the win and record ?

Get throw and catch. Should have gone for 2

Bwaaaahaaaaa. Another run

Just kick it now

Just two scores up with more than a quarter to go. This is where the Pats* nail games shut.

With the receiving power we have and two starting RBs out, we don't pass!

Omg. Please pass!!!

Can we please not run on every first down

Charles with the recovery

They may have Pryor spy and cheat to cover Watkins leaving opportunities for Woods and Hogan.

R.I.P. didn't realize he also played with John Mayall
