Buffalo Mike1 Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Bills are 8-1 when Fred Jackson runs for over 100yds. http://billsdaily.com/gameday/
eball Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) Stats like this are comedic. Here's another one: -- The Bills are unbeaten in games this season in which Rian Lindell kicks five PATs. Gameplan: Score five TDs so Lindell has the opportunity for that many PATs.

Gameplan: Score five TDs so Lindell has the opportunity for that many PATs. They are also unbeaten when they score more points.
Cotton Fitzsimmons Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Freddie Jackson is THE WHIP! All YE OLE heard last week from Raider Nation and the national media was how that front 7 was going to lock it down. They're mean, they're physical, they'll push us around. And this week all we hear is how badly the Raider defense played. Gave us the game even. I suppose they were just in a generous mood while Freddie was running all over them.
bladiebla Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Wasnt there another stat with regards to Fred as well, something along the line of always winning when Fred gets 20+ carries?

IHFO Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Wasnt there another stat with regards to Fred as well, something along the line of always winning when Fred gets 20+ carries? Most likely, which is because the team is winning and they are trying to run out the clock.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Stats like this are comedic. Here's another one: -- The Bills are unbeaten in games this season in which Rian Lindell kicks five PATs. Gameplan: Score five TDs so Lindell has the opportunity for that many PATs. comedic is ignoring this one important stat. You can't deny that when a Bills RB gains over 115 yards per game and the passing game is decent the Bills or any team for that matter will win 90% of the time. What's comedic is flaunting passing yards as a GOOD stat.
Kevin Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 The Bills are undefeated when Fitz has a 7-1 touchdown to interception ratio. That's a fact.
Captain Hindsight Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 The Bills are undefeated since switching back to the white helmets.
widerightradio Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Statistics can be manipulated or purposefully misleading, but that does not make all statistics equally irrelevant. The idea that the Bills have a greater tendency to win when Fred Jackson successfully runs the ball seems relevant to me. As a comparison, Adrian Peterson rushed for over 100 yards five times last year. In those games, the Vikings were 3-2. McFadden's Raiders were 4-2 when he went over 100 yards in 2010. Last year, the Bills were 3-0 when Fred Jackson picked up 100 yards on the ground. This may indicate that Jackson's success running the football has a greater connection to the Bills' success as a team than other running backs performing the same feat. It may be that when the Bills win, they tend to run out the clock using Fred Jackson (or that Fred Jackson runs better when his team has the lead than other running backs) and therefore causality works in the opposite direction. But then wouldn't all teams do that? I think the better explanation is that a successful running game has a stronger effect on the Bills than other teams.
Astrobot Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 100% of people who ate tomatoes 1776-1900 are dead. In 103 meetings between Patriots & Bills, this is the 1st time both teams are undefeated (0 wins 0 losses doesn't count)..
jimmy10 Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 It took me a while to calculate this, but I found that over the course of 50+ seasons, the Bills have a perfect record, completely undefeated, in games in which they score at least one more point than their opponent. Both at home AND on the road. If that's not a mark of consistency, I don't know what is.
DanInUticaTampa Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 In 103 meetings between Patriots & Bills, this is the 1st time both teams are undefeated (0 wins 0 losses doesn't count).. now there is an interesting tidbit.
kickedface Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 another stat: the bills are undefeated at any game i attend. but living in brooklyn its tough to get to many games. except the jets games, and after the jets lose all the fans want to do is fight people in the other teams gear.
DJasper Probincrux III Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Anybody wanna guess who our opponent was when Fred ran for 100 yards and we lost? The stat could have also read that the Bills have never beaten the Patriots when Fred Jackson has run for 100 yards.
TDRupp Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) They are winless in 15 of the last 15 against the Pats and in each case they lost. Edited September 23, 2011 by TDRupp
