ColoradoBills Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 It's a nice time to be a Buffalo Bills fan. These are the good ole days! 2 Quote
eball Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 Guys, let's face it. We are only one blown 45-yard coverage with our backup safeties away from being 6-0. They're good. Damn good. Probably great, and perhaps historic. 7 Quote

I guess we'll see. Perhaps the stats say that, but my eye test says the Bills recently played three games that could've gone either way against Mia, Bal, and KC, and thankfully we came away 2-1. I'm not knocking those wins, and in fact, I love that our team is getting close-game experience and coming through with Ws finally; that experience will help during a playoff run. But I just don't see some GOAT / ATG-contending team yet. Maybe the bye and getting Tre White back and overall getting reasonably healthy will launch us into a new stratosphere. I would love to root for a GOAT / ATG team, but I'll have to see it to believe it. 2 1 1 Quote

I would love to root for a GOAT / ATG team, but I'll have to see it to believe it. Why were the games close? That's what you should be looking at. They were close because the Bills didn't execute down in the Red Zone multiple times during the Dolphin and Chief games and nobody could catch the ball in the first half of the Raven game. Once they got rolling in that game they were pretty much unstoppable scoring on 4 of their last 5 possessions. Bills are averaging 441 yards a game on offense, 30 more yards than the next closest team, the Lions who just got exposed by the Pats. Literally nobody is stopping them other than themselves. The Bills have punted 7 times in 6 games with starters in the game. That's absurd. Edited October 18, 2022 by Big Turk 1 Quote
Rubes Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 This sounds awesome! It would probably sound even better if I could ever understand what DVOA means. 1 Quote

TheBrownBear Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 And that was the hard part of the schedule. 1 Quote

They're good. Damn good. Probably great, and perhaps historic. Net Yards per Drive differential still the highest ever since it started being tracked in 1993. Currently at 18.11, down slightly from 18.84 prior to Chiefs game. Still well ahead of the 15.2 record set by the 2007 Patriots. Top teams in the league are typically in the 8-9 range regularly. Bills finished #1 in the NFL last year at 9.20, TB was 2nd at 5.80. Bills are basically twice as good in this metric as they were last year which is absurd and amazing at the same time.

That is absolutely ridiculous. They are basically doubly as good in this stat as they were last year. For reference, the best team ever since it has started being kept in 1993 were the 2007 Patriots at 15.2. We are well above them right now. Edited October 18, 2022 by Big Turk Quote

There are so many plays the Bills squandered during that game. Davis not holding onto a TD thrown right in his hands in the endzone was another missed opportunity. Bills left 24-30 points on the field that game easily. 9 minutes ago, Gene1973 said: He was the guy who tagged Alen as a parody of an NFL QB prospect. He later told Schopp & Bulldog that Allen is who he is, a 33rd ranked QB. Then the next season he hoped that Allen would turn out to be a pumpkin. I don't think he comes on WGR anymore... I heard him on a few weeks ago actually. Quote

Logic Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 Bills number 1 in offensive and defensive DVOA, just beat the big kid on the block in their house (not to mention already having beaten the defending Super Bowl champs on the road), lead the league in point differential by far, and have the best QB in the league... Talking heads, probably: "I don't know. I just don't believe in the Bills yet." 1 1 Quote
