last two years stat - ouchers

[patmoran2006]

I learned via Allen Wilson that in the last two years the Bills have beaten only ONE team with a winning record.

That team? The Washington Redskins last year, who also happened to be mourning the loss of Sean Taylor the entire week leading up to the game.

I"m sorry . But the more I ponder that stat, that tells me that a lot falls on our coaches.

put it this way. does ANYBODY think this year's team would only be 6-5 if we had Cowher, Bellicheck or a any top notch coach?

Regardless, that's a pretty pathetic stat

I've done some research on the QB's last week and I'd like to note that Washington didn't have a winning record at the time of that game. So I guess it's all in how you classify a team with a winning record. I guess the Baltimore game earlier last season cancels it out though.

Re: last two years stat - ouchers

we've never had a D in the top 1/2 of the stats sheet nor have we had a O in the top half....

of course we are really just starting to assemble players, get them experience and build around them, but we are still 3 or 4 players short of turning this page.

We need a Stud DE and major upgrade at Ellisons OLB and more upgrades on the OL...

a change in D scheme is also a need IMO, but upgraded players might fix that need... still their must be a reason why most of the NFL avoids the 4-3 and uses a 3-4

Re: last two years stat - ouchers

did you just say "ouchers"

Re: last two years stat - ouchers

That all could change with victories against Dolphins, Jets, Broncos, Patriots to close out the 2008 regular season.

But then again...

First off, Allen Wilson is a negative *****, thats just the facts.

Secondly, did you actually use the term, "ouchers"? cough cough, cough

Thirdly, I honestly think Cowher would have given us only 1, maybe 2 more wins. Yes, thats a huge difference right now, but I dont think coaching is as bad as some do. Nor do I think it would make such a huge differenence.

Having only 1 star player is the difference, just MO.

The larger the sample, the more accurate a record should be.

For example, if someone did a similar study of the 2008 Cardinals using only opponents' records at the time, that will show they played the 4-0 Bills.

Re: last two years stat - ouchers

Well, Wilson did say it during a live chat session, so I"m sure you're more liable to screw up there.


EdwardsEra. I say 1-2 games with better coaching (the Browns game for CERTAIN and probably at least 1 between the Jets and Miami). But even just that ONE game puts the whole playoff race into a different perspective, doesnt it?

I think Jauron being the head coach of a football team costs his team 2 wins per year, because every year there is always 2 games we would've won if Jauron doesnt coach scared.

Thurm.. I did say OUCHERS, on purpose too.

dayman!!!!!!!!!!! AhhhAHHHHHHHHHH

It can go either way. If you want to use the end of the regular season record then the Redskins were the only winning team.

If you want to use current record, the Ravens were the only winning team.

Either way there was only one winning team.

You're exactly right. In most seasons just one game can make the difference between making the playoffs and going golfing. Every season it seems like the Bills are just one or two games off.
