Lenigmusx Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 It doesn't seem like this can be true maybe it is because no one has to pass against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 It doesn't seem like this can be true maybe it is because no one has to pass against us. That's pretty much it. When you are dead last in rushing defense (again), teams don't need to put the ball in the air much to beat you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003Contenders Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 This is a perfect example of how worthless these rankings are. For example, Brady only passed for 140 yards against the Bills on Sunday, which (by this silly passing yards allowed stat) would indicate a good game for the pass defense. Anyone think that the pass defense had a good game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone think that the pass defense had a good game? I found the more telling stat. Opposing QB's are rated 92.5 that is the sixth highest in the NFL. That is closer to how I have felt about the pass "D" this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 That stat taken in context is like someone eating a whole cheesecake with fresh fruit and calling it a healthy dessert because they had fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreezeMafia Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Because our run defense is very poor. No one passes on us because they run all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadidliac Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) they dont need to pass on us when they can run for 200+ yards a game If my memory is correct I believe that the Pats had 3 players with over 100yrds rushing against the Bills on Sunday.At least 2 and the other had over 90yrds. Something like that. Edited December 28, 2010 by Cadidliac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 If my memory is correct I believe that the Pats had 3 players with over 100yrds rushing against the Bills on Sunday.At least 2 and the other had over 90yrds. Something like that. According to yards per game rankings, their rushing offense is only 6 yards per game (slightly) better than the Bills own.

Chef Jim Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 According to yards per game rankings, their rushing offense is only 6 yards per game (slightly) better than the Bills own. Maybe that's because they throw the ball 90% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Maybe that's because they throw the ball 90% of the time. And maybe the rankings are deceptive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 This is a perfect example of how worthless these rankings are. I completely agree, which is why I only pay attention to the one ranking system that carries any credibility whatsoever: power rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigc14120 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 they dont need to pass on us when they can run for 200+ yards a game Actually, it could be worse. I recall in the 70's, when Miami had the great Czonka/Morris running teams...the Fish came into the Ralph (called something else then) Miami (Bob Griese) only threw 6 passes all day. And the Bills were killed. Today, at least, we do force them to throw some.....so I have seen worse...and we are not quite that bad yet. But wait, there is always next year......
