I will say it again we can not assume we will win every game for the rest of the season, and that is what you are implying, I mean really did anyone expect KC to be 2-3 at this point? Can’t count your chickens before  they hatch…., fans do it, teams don’t do it…, 

 

Go Bills !!!

 

I don't assume every game will be a win...I just don't see them losing more than 2 more times. I'd say most likely losses would be Tampa Bay and possibly either NO or Carolina.  But honestly, I could see them winning out too.  They are that good and the offense has not played all that well, yet they are the highest scoring team in the NFL.

Biggest concern and question that needs to be asked....what if the Bills are peaking too early?

 

Look no further than our friends who beat us week one and how they started 11-0 last year, obviously they didn't have these type of metrics backing them and it was pretty obvious a correction was coming considering how lucky they got and how many close games they played before starting to lose towards the end of the season.

 

Will be very interesting to see if this holds up over a 16 game season and a few injuries could derail everything sadly. Until then it's safe to say the Bills are the best team in the NFL right now.

I’m not saying that the possibility is outlandish, I’m saying ya can’t count your chickens before they hatch…, 

 

Go Bills!!!

This is nice and all but it will all be meaningless without a Super Bowl win. 

So it’s your official position that every year there are 31 teams that completely wasted their time? At what point are they supposed to know that?

I been saying, my eyes are telling me that I'm looking at an all time great team. Nice to see data backing it up. 

They Just gotta stay healthy humble n hungry.

How did that 2019 Patriots team fall apart? I remember they started off hot and by the end of the year they were struggling with the bears and got upset by good old Fitzmagic

He was playing in December because I remember John Brown undressed him so badly he did his usual finger pointing at his teammate.

Among the 12 other teams listed, 8 made a SB and 5 won it. That's a pretty high percentage.

Thank you - this is what I was wondering.

 

Not bad company at all.

That 2019 Pats*** team is the one that came into Orchard Park and picked Josh off 3 times before he settled down and was leading the comeback and got concussed.

Of course…I was at the game.  But what happened to that team?  I remember old Aaron Schatz used to appear on Schopp and the Bulldog and crow about how “historically good” the 2019 Patriots team was - especially the defense.  
 

By December they struggled to beat the Bills, lost to the Dolphins, and got smashed by Tennessee in the playoffs.  So much for historically good

Indeed, you could say 8 out of 11 and 5 out of 11. The reason I say this is because the 2007 Colts are one of those that made the list, and they were in the same cohort as the 2007 Pats, which were ranked higher and made the SB. (And, beautifully, lost in epically painful fashion.)

This is more proof that defense stats have always been misleading under McDermott.

 

People were saying the same thing about his defense in October this season:
