Wraith Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 The Bills won the game yesterday against the Dolphins without playing a single down within Miami's redzone. The three touchdowns scored against Miami yesterday were the first three touchdowns the Bills have scored on offense between their opponent's 20 and 40 yard lines this season. Until yesterday, the Bills had passed for 3 touchdowns from behind their own 40 yardline, 3 between the 40 yardlines, and 8 in their opponent's redzone (with 7 of those 8 coming from within the 10 yardline). Until yesterday's game, Losman had the following statline from the opponent's 20 to the opponent's 40: 22/43___51.2%___203 Yards___4.72 YPA___0 TD___2 Int___45.1 Rating After yesterday's game: 25/46___54.3%___286 Yards___6.17 YPA___3 TD___2 Int___76.7 Rating From those stats, it's evident that our intermediate passing game had not been developing at the same rate the rest of our passing game had been. Hopefully this is a permanent shift. It was nice having the offense score TDs without having to rely on a huge TD bomb or long, methodical drive culminating in a 3 yard TD. Finally, we seem to have developed an intermediate passing game and scoring threat. Until now it has either been an incredibly long TD or an incredibly short one. Just thought this was interesting...
