Good math guy Lol. I can't wait to bring this thread back next year. ?

longtimebillsfan Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 I love this post. You have to respect the character of our defense. They have been playing at a consistently high level with little to no support from the other side of the ball. Let's hope the offense can catch up to the defense next season.
FeelingOnYouboty Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 I really hated watching Tyrod Taylor play the last few years but if he was here this year we'd be making the playoffs again. Our defense has been incredible. 1

McDermott is putting the cart before the horse. You have no point. LOL. Chiefs offense isn't giving up pick 6's and not giving up the ball in their own territory. Difficult for any defense to constantly stop opposing offenses when they're starting their drives near midfield. 1

The problem this season is our offense has been disgustingly bad. Today it was pretty good, not great but pretty good, and combined with a dominant defense it gave us a blowout win. Ask the Jags how that's going... 3 hours ago, vorpma said: OK, who says its backward, you, Shopp and the bulldog, TBD posters? All these experienced NFL experts! I'm sure you can't! Um all the teams that are at the top of the league overwhelmingly addressed the offensive side of the ball in the past few seasons. You can't be serious... Top 5 D in DVOA going into this week: 1. CHI 2. BUF 3. HOU 4. DEN 5. SEA I see a couple losing records, 2 decent teams, and no Superbowl contenders. Top 5 O in DVOA going into this week: 1. KAN 2. LAR 3. LAC 4. NO 5. CAR I see 5 legitimate Superbowl, if not, conference championship contenders. Welcome to the league. Edited November 12, 2018 by Elite Poster 1

Because I didn't think my point needed to be explaining, but apparently it does because of your comment on how the Chiefs offense isn't turning the ball over. Of course they're not -- they're a good offense. Now, look at their record. Now look at ours. We have the #1 defense and yet we've been largely un-competitive, and blown-out on several occasions. I like a good defense as much as the next guy. But with the way the league is structured now, the offense should be more the focus. The Bills, under McDermott, have yet to focus too much on the offense. And the record shows the folly in that.

I'm sure you can't! As has been stated numerous times, you are what your record says you are. Stats are meaningless compared to wins and losses. Let me help you understand how this works. Wins count more than any stat on the books.

Take it anyway you want; offense needs to score points and defense needs to limit points in order to gain that critical statistic you so eloquently stated: wins! Probably a generational thing, I love defensive battles in open air, cold gray days, with mud, snow, beer, and hitting. Defense can still win, probably defies conventional thinking but in the end it still wins! You guys love Arena Football with two hundred points a game in your under shirt in a domed stadium enjoying 75 degree and dry days!

LabattBlue Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 Much more important stats where the Bills are ranked in the middle of the pack....points allowed and 3rd down %.
