Slippery Rubber Mats Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Just imagine how all the other teams feel when the Bills convert as many 3rd downs as they do 4 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how opposing team's fanbases feel about the Bills when it comes to 3rd downs from Josh and the offense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 We’re 6th in the league giving up 36.6% conversions. Better than every current playoff team minus the giants @ 35.3% Last 4 games- Miami 4/16 NE 4/13 bears 2/12 Miami 5/14 yes, we give up some terrible 3rd and longs that make us all sick. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Overall the Bills defense fell from 1st overall on 3rd down defense in 2021 to 7th in 2022. Still a top 10 unit even with a lot of injuries. It seems any 3rd down issues are perceived rather than real. Most teams would love to be where the Bills are on 3rd down defensively. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 This seems related to our familiarity with the Bills and knowing every detail of their tendencies plus emotional investment in the games. They are among the best in the NFL in 3rd down defense and have been for years under McD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it feels like at least once a game we give up a third and 10 or more that just feels deflating. I'd be curious to know what percentage of our third downs surrendered are third and ten or more. I think as fans it's just cumulative fatigue from seeing that a lot this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I crazy for thinking we are awful on 3rd down? Only when it's over 15 yards. Under that we don't bother, we just stop them. The long ones we like to give them. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
