Through two games, the Buffalo Bills actually have the NFL's fastest offense, at least by one metric.

Dividing time of possession by number of plays, the Bills get one play off every 21.8 seconds of possession, first in the NFL. Meanwhile, the Eagles rank third (23.3 seconds per play)..........

Bills -- 21.8 seconds per play
Broncos -- 23.2 seconds
Eagles -- 23.3 seconds
Ravens -- 24.4 seconds
Patriots -- 25.0 seconds
Packers -- 25.3 seconds

You would think that with a little more experience than 2 games we could continually continue to improve on that, easily shaving several seconds off within a few months of games.

Sure, its easy to keep that average down when you have the lead with five minutes to go and refuse to run the clock.

so far, all that has meant is a huge TOP advantage for our opponents. Ripping off tons of offensive plays means nothing if they don't result in points.

I think a better or more accurate way to measure this would be to take the average amount of time left on the play clock when the ball is snapped.

Again, thank you. I don't want to speak for the rest of the board, but I certainly rely on you to explain the most basic things.

The Bills have had 4 three and outs in 26 possessions. That is 6th best in the league.

That's your opinion. That's their offense like it or not. We are going to lose TOP every week unless we get 3 and outs on defense most of the time. Even if the offense is clicking better than it has the first two weeks. It's only a bad thing if they don't score enough. It's the amount of plays that matters not time of possession. If we are equal or close to our opponent in plays run who cares if they had the ball 10 more minutes. It was time spent standing in a huddle.

Re: Bills have NFL's quickest offense

An interesting stat, but it sounds better than it really is.

Mostly because everyone's flipping their **** over how many plays Chip Kelly's offense rolls out per game.

As long as the Bills are scoring and winning, these stats aren't the kind of thing I'm too concerned about one way or another.
