dave mcbride Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 The split between a team's offensive and defensive passer ratings is regarded by many as the most accurate predictor of team success. So, despite the fact that the Bills are 30th in yards allowed, I'm not terribly concerned (yet). The Bills offense has a 116.1 team passer rating, and opponents have a 78.1 rating. That +38 split is huge. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/2015.htm The Bills sack total - 6 (2 per game) - is fairly anemic, but they're actually tied for 11th in the league. If they have one of those "feast" games against the Giants, their ranking will shoot up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Cat Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Really gets you psyched when you see a schedule that has: Fitz/Geno (x2) Hoyer/Mallet Cousins/? Are we confident in calling those four wins right now? I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) I'm hoping Rex and Dennis Thurman are still perfecting the execution of their scheme as well as fine-tuning it to the strengths and weaknesses of the players on the roster. Rex typically has his Ds in the top ten, if not the top 5. I'd like to see top 3 this season with this cast. NE rattled our QB and we rattled the QBs not playing for NE. It's a big part of our 2-1 record and I do think Dave's stats are meaningful. Edited September 28, 2015 by hondo in seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
