Let's see how we do against Miami and Washington. But knowing McDermott, I doubt we run up the score on those bad teams. Jets, Giants, Cincy were cream puffs.

dous21 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 top 3 in points allowed but bottom 5 in points scored it's the reason this team hasn't been successful in decades. inept offenses have always been our problem and this year is no different. Dabboll needs to change the gameplan after the bye week. run the ball more and limit Allen's passing so he stops throwing mediocre interceptions

They’ve lacked a modern NFL passing offense for years. That won’t be solved by running the ball more and limiting Allen. In the Bills defense, Daboll doesn’t seem like he wants to play 1970’s football. They need to clean up their execution on offense, not start playing small ball. 1

I wanted to look it up but when have the last time the Bills has better than a bottom third passing attack? Maybe Fitz. Our standards for good qb are so low. 2

jrober38 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 If the Bills can get into the post season, which they should, this team could make a run. If they can spend the next 3-4 games developing an explosive running game with Singletary, and learn to be more efficient throwing deep off play action, an explosive offense teamed with an elite defense could do serious damage in the playoffs.

We were at #7 last week. I think that is more to do with other teams he wanted to move up though (San Fran have shot up and Seattle) rather than moving the Bills down. I think he still has the Rams above us. That is one I would question. They have no run game and their defense is really not performing at all. Marcus Peters gets exposed more than your local neighbourhood flasher. It is less about running up the score and more about beating them by a minimum of two touchdowns. The sort of games where as a fan by the start of the 4th Qrtr you are thinking "unless something strange happens here this game is done". The Bills want to keep the fans in the stadium for the full game and buy more from the concession stands. Hence, all games are going down to the wire !!! 1

The Patriots have allowed only 39. If the Punts blocked for TD and the many INTs that were returned for TD or TD scored off the turnover, we will be in the same category as the Patriots... This defense is for REAL And no more points should be scored on them for at least the next two weeks. ?

Well, some of these games are hard on my heart, too. But truthfully, games where one team is blowing the other out are boring, unless you're a diehard fan of the team piling up the points then they're like pinball. We've had some very good football games to watch. 2

I think it also somewhat depends on the blow out if it's just one team being completely terrible it's kind of meh for me but if it's one team just executing really well on both sides of the ball that's still pretty fun to see.
LeGOATski Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 I think the Bills defense is better than the Pats defense. Difference-maker is the LBs.

In the end the games have been great and I’ve loved the outcome but after all that, I really just wanna kick back, crack one, and maintain a normal heart rate for a couple of hours on gameday. 1

It really is amazing that our defense has been so stout with relatively few turnovers. Our defense has only had 8 turnovers so far this year, 5 interceptions and 3 fumble recoveries by my count. We are averaging 1.6 turnovers per game, which has us currently ranked 12th in the NFL in that category. This defense has been stopping drives the good old fashioned way, with 4th downs. If they could just start getting their hands on some of those deflected passes at the line... Edited October 10, 2019 by Inigo Montoya
