Re: Denver's Defense

Passing Defense ranked #1.

Overthrowing a wide open Evans for a TD helps Denvers ranking.

The Bills have that tendency to pad other teams stats!

lol. There's your answer BF1. Anymore questions that you have to try and attempt to make JP look bad, please feel free to ask and TDummy will ruin it for you.

If they are 1 in pass D, what are they, worst in Run D?

Re: Denver's Defense

When JP stepped off of the field for the last time.. we were winning. Thats all you can ask of a QB when it comes down to it.

Sorry. I've heard the excuse 100's of times. It's been pounded into my head.

Yep, by almost 20 YPG. Buffalo has moved up to 25th. Woohoo

That's the same argument I tried to use in supporting Rob Johnson in the home run throw up game.

That excuse didn't work for Edwards last week. When Trent stepped off the field the Bills were ahead by 8.

He limped off the field. Down 3-0 I believe.

Edwards had 4 qtrs.

EDIT :BF1 is wrong. It was 0-0 when JP left the field but PAts were ready to score 3 due to a fumble recovered by pats.

Re: Denver's Defense

Pass defense can be a misleading statistic. Teams haven't had to pass against Denver (they're dead last in attempts against) because their offense hasn't been scoring much (27th). In average yards per pass against, Denver is 22nd.
Last year the No. 1 pass defense was the Raiders. Is it because their defense was that good, or because no one had to pass against such a crappy team?

Re: Denver's Defense

Denver is giving up 7.6 yards per pass.

Same as us. And the Rams. And the Falcons.

Only six teams are worse.
