Did the Bills get the largest margin of victory prove a point ?

[Skooby]

The Bills won by 29 points. Shady showed his old coach how to get beat by scoring 18 on him, so did we win by the most points this week ??

We were just trying to get the best point differential in the NFL, and we were successful.

4th best (tied) in offensive scoring per game
5th best in defensive scoring per game
1st in overall point differential

Re: Did the Bills get the largest margin of victory prove a point ?

Joe hit the nail on the head. Point differential is typically the key indicator to a good football team.

Analytics show games decided by one touchdown are essentially a toss up, going 0-6 one year in one score games is highly unlikely to translate into the next season. Same goes for teams that do the opposite.

However with that said we are one 30 point beatdown from the Pats away from this evening out. If we're still a top 5 team in point differential after 10 games we should be poised for a playoff run.

@Miami, vs NE and @Seattle is going to be a true test.

If this team handles business next week and can somehow take one of the 2 games vs NE or Seattle they should be in great shape to stay in the playoff hunt.

Going to need to win at least 2 of 3 vs Cincy, Oakland and Pittsburgh as well.

Hate to say must win at 4-2 but this week is. Can't fall to 1-3 in the conference with NE and Seattle in back to back weeks.

I don't think they were trying to prove a point. The 9ers simply suck.

They absolutely weren't trying to "prove a point" or run up the score.

The Bills were only up by 8 points (one potential score) with 11 minutes left in the 4th quarter. That's when McCoy scored another TD.

So there is that. 11 minutes is still time enough for the 49ers to score 2 TDs...also needing a two-point conversion to tie...

Then Robey forced a fumble on the ensuing kickoff, giving the Bills the Ball on the 49er's 27. What were they supposed to do, kneel on the ball with almost 11 minutes to go? No. A penalty later, the Bills were at the 49er's 5-yardline. So we score again because kneeling on the ball is out of the question for anybody.

Now we are up THREE scores after scoring two TDs in a matter of about 23 seconds. No team in the world wouldn't have gone for both of those scores.

Then, on the Bills' next drive, we pulled some key starters. If we wanted to really stick it to them, we wouldn't have let EJ run that drive. Did you see that horrific short pass in the middle of the field that should have been picked off? The Jonathan Williams fumble happened during this time too...Anyway, the Bills were trying to run out the clock at this point and avoid injuries...that's when Gillislee broke away for a 44-yard TD run because the 49ers we're gassed and totally of it already anyway.

The Bills should have put that team away much earlier, but this is the way it unfolded.

Obviously so that the bills will move to Toronto.
