BillsFan619 Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) Please list your reasons for the answer you gave. I believe we can. Another year in the system, same great offense, JA having a year more of experience and an easier schedule (at least on paper). Another game doesn’t hurt either. Go Bills!

BubbaT Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) Yes. They're playing 17 games instead of 16. Even with diminished production I think they get there. Barring injuries to key players of course Edited July 5, 2021 by BubbaT 7 5

I just don’t see many teams stopping us, especially with another great route runner in Sanders. I don’t think Allen has reached his ceiling yet either. 4

Chandler#81 Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Who GAF? W’s are the ONLY metric. Seriously, this is just ridiculous. If anything, more late game ball control will cut down on opponents trying -and often succeeding- to score late trying to get back in the game. This isn’t video games, kids🤦♂️ 1 2 1 1

A little bit over the top reaction maybe given this is the dead time of year for the NFL. I almost want to do a Tyler Bass over/under 30 made field goals thread now. 3 2

This isn’t video games, kids🤦♂️ Who took away your fireworks, man? Just having fun with you. Thanks for the thoughts. I will say though, one of the intents of the poll was to create discussion and critical thought about our 2021 offense amongst us Bills fans. This is why I mentioned in my original post to give reasons why they gave the answer they did. Edited July 5, 2021 by BillsFan619
LABILLBACKER Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 I think we average 30/ game. 510 points.... 13-4.... 1 1

When kids are out of school and know Moms iPad password, we get these type of infantile, mind-numbing speculation threads that dumb down the whole board, regardless of the season. Little Petey and JimmyJoe see this and thinks ‘that’s a good idea!’ 🤦♂️ 5 2
machine gun kelly Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) Chand, who crapped in you’re cornflakes? Just kidding old friend. The boys are bored. I’ll play. We defeated 6 of the top 10 defenses last year. LAR, PITT, SF, Balt, Indy, and LAC. We have 17 games, not 16, an upgrade in Sanders, retained the key players, and improved to a degree our defensive players. We only lost to three teams. The Cards was a fluke as we had them until the Hail Mary. The Titans was a screwy loss given key injuries. We don’t have an answer yet for the Chiefs. This year we have the AFCS, NFCS, the Chiefs and Steelers. That is a better schedule for us. Still some tough opponents, but was harder last year. Bottom line is we can surpass 29.5 pts./game.

True, but if we don’t have to, why expose our receiver corps to unnecessary injury. How healthy were they in January? How many times did we light up the scoreboard like a Pinball Wizard? We hit Russel Wilson FIFTEEN freakin’ times and sacked him 7 more. Yet they scored 34 points because we kept getting off the field after just a couple minutes of possession. Granted, we scored at will. Consequently, they had many more offensive possessions than usual, which allowed them to nearly overcome 4 turnovers & 7 sacks on the road. If we learned anything in a meaningless quest to make Allen an mvp candidate, it’s that it wasn’t necessary at all.
machine gun kelly Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 That’s true bud. We did sit on some leads, but probably not enough. We have to prove we can run more effectively when we are up by 14-17 pts., and as you stated, give the WR a break. It was so disappointing just about every WR was injured in the KC game. I’m very hopeful with this schedule (not that it means that much as so much changes year to year) we can get the #1 seed to get an extra week off. Until we replicate the running part of 2019, we’re going to run with our WR’s. 1
Don Otreply Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 With early substantial leads our reborn run game will eat a lot of clock to control the game flow, so we will likely not need to score as much as that, unless we are making a point…,

If we learned anything in a meaningless quest to make Allen an mvp candidate, it’s that it wasn’t necessary at all. I think we learned last year that we aren’t going to be a team that utilized clock and ball control to win games. We absolutely stepped on the throats of our opponents when they were done and Josh does not want to come out of games. With that, and the extra game, I think we can break the record. I’m also sending you a virtual hug and am saving a lap dance for you at the opener. 1 1
eball Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Yep. Don’t see too many defenses who are going to slow down this offense, and I expect the defense to be markedly better as well, which should lead to more points. 3
Patrick Duffy Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 I don't see why not, especially if team stays healthy for the most part along with the extra game that will add at least some points. If not then I think it will be close either way.
Big Turk Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 There is an extra game so I would expect them to easily surpass that. Our offense will be prolific. 1
