Big Turk Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 This is pretty astounding. Net Yards/Drive are basically the number of yards per drive you have have versus the number of yards per opponent drive. Bills are currently at an absolutely absurd 18.84 net yards per drive, which is nearly 6 yards better than the next closest team, the Eagles, who are OVER 6 yards better than the 3rd place team, the Chiefs. To put this in perspective, the Bills led the NFL last year at 9.28, meaning they are more than double that currently. To put that even more in perspective, the next closest teams to the Bills this year going back to 1993, and the only other ones above 14 were the 2007 18-1 Patriots at 15.2, and the 2001 14-2 Greatest Show on Turf Rams at 14.14. Ironically both teams made it to the Super Bowl and lost that year. My point? I don't think we appreciate enough how great this team is in relation to other all-time teams. What they are doing right now is simply not normal. 5 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jletha Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 If we keep this pace up through 8-10 weeks that appreciation will come. Theres a lot of football left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBear Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 We are also on pace for a +309 point differential. That would be the second best differential in the 16/17 game era behind the 2007 Patriots (+315). There's a good chance our pace of +18.2/game will decrease over the next two games, before once again picking up steam after the GB game.

Charles Romes Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 This in my opinion why they can’t build a running attack. To run you have to accept punting at least 20 percent of the possessions. Punting is not acceptable to this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills are the only team in the NFL where the home fans boo their team punting up 35 points in the 4th quarter with the backups on the field. We don't do that here...we don't care if you are backups or not. Edited October 11, 2022 by Big Turk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
