This column will typically consist of statistical analysis of the Buffalo Bills’ upcoming opponent. However, since the Bills’ players will mainly be fighting the urge to sleep in this coming week, I’ll use the space on the server to wax poetic about the previous game as well as Buffalo’s overall stats to date.
Game against the Giants:
2 – turnovers. There’s not much else to say here. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw two poor passes right to Corey Webster. Nobody knows how much the first interception affected the game. However, based on field position it would seem that the second pick ended up being at least a six point swing in favor of the Giants. The Bills lost the first game of the season where they didn’t win the turnover battle, but it was extremely competitive.
3 – 0 – sacks by Giants and sacks by Bills. Eli Manning’s dry cleaners have an easy job this week, as the New York QB came out of the game as unscathed as his backup David Carr. I’m pretty sure even a CSI team couldn’t confirm with absolute certainty that the Bills were even on the field for the Giants’ passing plays. Meanwhile, Buffalo’s offensive line finally allowed multiple sacks in a game to one of the best pass-rushing teams in the league.
0 – three and outs by the Buffalo offense. Granted, there was a four and out on the Bills’ last drive of the game. However, they managed to get at least one first down on every other drive of the game. I find that to be very impressive – especially when one of those drives starts with a ten yard sack – and a sign thatBuffalo’s offense is surging, as opposed to the perception that it’s petering out. In fact, Buffalo’s offensive output in terms of points has increased each week since theCincinnatigame from 13, to 23, to 24.
