Likely will revert to the mean...almost impossible to be 0-5 again in one score games. If one believes the Bills have actually gotten better too, in theory they could have even fewer one score games. Let’s say they have four this year, go 2-2 in those, and then have one random big loss, 14-3 would be the result. I know this is very simplified and ignores their actual matchups, but seems possible with their recent level of play. Quote
K D Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 Consistency is the key. They have been very consistent the past 3-4 games in a row now so let's keep this going. 19 more to go Quote

While the points themselves would be higher the point differential which is what this is about would not change. The rules have favored certain types of offenses so there is a difference. Teams which do run and grind are not likely to get same point inflation. Quote

Big Turk Posted September 20, 2022 Author Posted September 20, 2022 Bills have now tied the 1942-1943 Chicago Bears as the only NFL teams to win 20 straight games by double digits. They can break the record next week against Miami...wouldn't that be sweet. Squish the Fish one more time for our place in history as one of the all time dominant teams in NFL history. Quote

Twenty years from now, few people are going to look back and talk about how dominant the Bills were if they don't win any Super Bowls. People now give the Kelly Bills their due, but only grudgingly. The Cowboys get the nod in that era, and rightfully so. And the 'niners. But it's also a silly way to look at it. What Wingo is pointing out is that the Bills are dominating teams in an extraordinary way, and that is completely consistent with what a lot of people, all over the country, are saying about the Bills. Think about it: when was the last time a team that's never won a Super Bowl lost in the divisional round of the playoffs and six months later was the odds-on favorite to win the Super Bowl? That's what the Bills did. Why? Because pretty much everyone could see at the end of last season how good the Bills were, and everyone could see that during the off-season the Bills got better. Listen to the talking heads. It's almost like there's the Bills and then there's the rest of the league. Everyone talks about how they have the best quarterback and the best roster. Everyone says they are the complete team. There's a sense of awe in it - how could they be THIS good? Yes, maybe the bubble will break, or maybe the Bills will stumble every season on the way to the Lombardi and be remembered like the Kelly Bills. But that's not what people are seeing in this team today. They're seeing greatness. As they say, it's about the journey, not the destination. If all you're doing is waiting to celebrate when they get to the destination, then you're missing the journey. To fill you in, so far it's been a helluva ride. There are a lot miles to go before the Bills win it all, and I'm intending to enjoy every minute. Edited October 19, 2022 by Shaw66 1 Quote

I don't think we fully appreciate just how good and how dominating this Bills team has been related to the rest of the league and historically. It's impressive. We need to enjoy it while it lasts. Overall, I think we do appreciate and enjoy this. Just don’t look at the Gamethreads… They’re NEVER a good look for us… Quote

I’ve learned that every fan base is exactly the same - anxious, neurotic and wanting everyone fired even with a lead. 2 1 Quote

I still can't believe it's really happening. 2 1 Quote

Brand J Posted October 19, 2022 Posted October 19, 2022 Quote "I think we're ready for that run. To me, the biggest inhibitor from us going to a championship game, or being in the AFC Championship, or going to a Super Bowl is ourselves … At the end of the day, the rosters there and Brandon Beane made sure of that. The leadership is there, Josh Allen, Von Miller, and those guys make sure of that." -- Robinson I like how Michael Robinson has completely taken on the Bills as his team. He also loves to say he was the first talking head to start pumping them up, long before Kyle Brandt, J Will, and any others. Quote
