All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
What the Bills did really well is limit the Jets offensive opportunities. The Bills held a 39:08 to 21:06 advantage in Time of Possession. They ran 75 offensive plays to the Jets 47. The Jets actually averaged better per offensive play (5.7 to 5.1), but they ran far fewer plays. The best defense is a good offense, and the Bills offense stopped the Jets offense by running 32 times and controlling the clock.
When you look at those numbers, it is amazing the Jets were able to win. But the reasons are simple:
1) Jets returned 7 kicks for 290 yards and 2 TDs.
2) The Bills turned the ball over 3 times while the Jets only had 1 turnover.
3) The Bills had 10 penalties for 82 yards, although the Jets nullified that by having 10 penalties for 90 yards.
It is that simple. There is no way the Bills should have lost that game as dominant as their running game was, but the reason for their losing is they did what losing teams do, they beat themselves. They turned the ball over, they took penaties and they played poorly on ST.
