View Full Version : 3.2 YPC, a new standard in Bills rushing! WOOHOO!!!
I sure hope we can match that next week!
That was phenominal!!!!
At that rate, if Henry gets 500 carries he'll have 1,500 yards...
WOO HOO...!!!

It only takes 10 yards every 4 plays to keep the chains moving and a drive alive. If you can get 3 yards every play, you score on every drive.

Just out of curiosity Wys, how many years did you play football. You're a decent sized dude and probably played. I personally played almost 10 years. Just curious where your :rolleyes: extensive knowledge of football came from. Again, you appear to try and represent someone who has a vast knowledge of the game...considering yourself that knowledgeable, you surely must have played a little organized ball.

I think he was talking about any level. Gruden was a college QB, I think. He just didn't have the physical skills.
I think playing on some level helps a lot to understand the game. It's not required, but it helps a lot.

BTW, 3.5 ypc is a very successful day running the ball if you control the clock, which if I remember correctly, we did very well. There is a major difference between running the ball to open up the pass, and running the ball to control the game. If GW and Gillbride were interested in gaining more YPC, they would have mixed up the running calls a lot more than they did.

Well the 3.2 yards per carry doesn't equal a first down since you would punt or kick on 4th down.
3.2 doesn't matter though when the offense is running effectively and you are able to put up 24 points without surrendering any.

I've openly admitted as much as what you just said!!! READ, read, do you first of all understand that word, "read"? READ my piece! It says basically exactly that!
NOW, WTH is wrong with bringing up the FACT that we only averaged 3.2 YPC? Why, WHY, amidst ALL the positive, is it horrendously outrageous to begin looking forward to next week's game?????
WHY?
Or is everyone gonna live off of this one single game for the rest of the season? I enjoyed it too! IMMENSELY!!!
But if we go 0-3 over our next three, then who cares! If you don't want to discuss our sketchy rushing game, then fine! Stay the H out of the argument/discussion!
But amidst ALL the positives that I've uttered, you instead read T's comments about me and "what I was actually thinking when I wrote a bunch of stuff" as if T has a freakin' clue! So be it!
But how's THIS for a change in pace! How about reacting to what I say instead of what others say about me? Can ya do that! Because I don't think you or a bunch of others can!

One positive way to look at it is this Wys.
From 0-0 to 21-0 the Bills ran 11 times for 39 yards. If you take out the 1-yard TD run (it shouldn’t could in the average because 1 yard is the max he could go) the team averaged 3.8 per carry. That sets up plenty of 3rd and shorts and is a great way to win a game.
From 21-0 on the rest is just useless stats as the team was on cruise control.
d1220
09-09-2003, 01:56 PM
I also must say he is far too critical of meaningless points. Eg., the title of this thread. Again, 3.5 ypc is a good day of controlling the clock. If it was 3.5 yards per carry, our TOP(time of posession) is low, it is a very unsuccessful day. But the running of the ball on Sunday, was primarily for controlling the clock. I think I only saw one or two plays the whole second half where they ran outside the tackles. If a team is primarily running inside the tackles and guards, they are trying to control the clock, not gain a ton of yards.

Sorry to quote myself, but I had one more point. I think one of the couple of plays running outside the tackles was the 9yd TH run for a touchdown.

Were we stopped on even one third and short or fourth and short? We ran three runs inside the 10 yard line. Scored on two of them (and we scored on the drive of the other one). Three for three in the red zone. We controlled the clock when we had to. Many times a players number of carries are as important as the yards and YPC, and 28 is a good number of carries. The yards per carry were likely the least important stat concerning our running game out of all of them in this game (including carries, touchdowns, yards, fumbles, YPC, first downs, TOP, 3rd and 4th down conversions, etc.)

I think you guys are really being too hard on Wys.
You have to remember that his brain automatically factors out all Henry rushes over 4 yards. Therefore, to Wys it appeared that Henry only ran for about 29 yards. A little over 1 yard per carry. I would be pissed too if I was Wys!
Philagape
09-09-2003, 02:45 PM
I think TH's most important stat is 28 carries (32 overall). To someone who didn't see the game and just looked at the box score, it's THAT stat that tells you we won.
YPC is meaningless in this case.
It's not, however, meaningless in THIS case: Antowain's YPC was 1.2. The Pats didn't do anything on the ground until the second half, when Faulk got big chunks when the Bills were expecting the pass.
But Sam couldn't have had anything to do with that, huh? (meaning, the first-half numbers) Someone else here quoted Gregg praising Sam, and I think the coach knows just a little bit more than armchair QBs.
Like I said somewhere else (and this is directed at no person in particular), don't talk like you know the players, coaches, GMs, scouts, correspondents, go to practices, hang out in locker rooms and offices, review many different game films, etc. Fans are NOT experts. The next time you say so-and-so sucks, ask yourself, who the hell are you?? Do you spend 80 hours a week with nothing but football as your life, like, say TD and GW do? Whom should I trust more, TD or the drunk loudmouth in section 114? Who's the expert?

B_f,
I've been nothin' but positive. What you have is a ton of people in my face sayin'g all sorts of unrelated things talking WAY out of context of the game!
It's sad that it has come to this! I feel maligned. I've had nothing but praise other than a side note on the one slight notion that perhaps our rush blocking could use some improvement w/ Taylor and RW coming up vice Smith/Faulk. Excuse me for not seein' absolute perfection!
Gosh, I'm very sorry that I'm hopin' for a little improvement in one area prior to our next game and worried about an emotional let down!
I don't think you're being fair minded however. I have been extremely positive. You're reacting to a mob mentality painting me into a corner.
I will say this, today has really soured my attending either the Eagles or Skins games. I may prefer simply to watch it on TV due to the supposed "fellow-fan" response that I've received here totally painting me nearly 180 degrees from where my viewpoints actually lie!
But hey, what can I expect from a bunch of people who enjoy criticizing after only reading a post headline while not taking the time to read my entire thought. And no, I've had hardly any marathon posts today!

The early ones were just fine. The one's "riddled w/ sarcasm" there 1220 occurred way after first blood was drawn by a rabid pack of animals stating over and over things that I never said and painting me and making me out to be some sort of ingrate after Sunday's win!
Again, if this is what I'm treated to contrary to my actual feelings/beliefs, etc., then I'm starting to sour on attending any more games this season. For real.
If you guys want me to be some sort of poster who complains after a win like that, then I suppose you're gonna see that in spite of all the evidence to the contrary and my first five posts of the day discussing the game in a very positive light and next week's game as well.
So since y'all have made up your minds that I am unsatisfied w/ Sunday's game, no sense in fighting the mob, eh!
I can't win!

Actually, I played sparingly in H.S. I had no guidance at all. My father was completely uninterested in football and wouldn't come to any games of mine unless they were soccer. Didn't come to b-ball or baseball games either. I opted to work F/T my Jr./Sr. years there for the bucks. Was loaded in HS.
Knowing little about the game, I went to my neighbor, who was a plug, 5'7"/190 or so, told me, 6'2"/178 to play G. :rolleyes: Well, we all know how that turned out. I was extremely fast but I didn't know any better so I just stayed as a backup G. Of course freshman HS coaches aren't the brightest bunch, and to have had one of them suggest that perhaps I play DE, TE, S, or LB was a reach I guess. I played soccer for ten years after that.
I learned about the game on my own. But you don't have to be a player to understand the game 1220. To suggest otherwise doesn't make sense. I showed up at college three weeks early after leaving the Army to make the team as a walk on DB/DE, but they didn't have a team. LOL, go figure. Hockey school, eh. I've played tons of flag, in the military and elsewhere. Often against ex-pros, several who played in the NFL. I usually played DE there and after I had acquired a full understanding of the game. I was good then. I've always had plenty of speed and great hands. Those days are over now, after 7 knee surgeries. LOL
Anyway, I've also gained 40 lbs. or so after my knee surgery last fall which I haven't lost yet. So I'm usually not as "decent sized" as recent pics have me. 6'3"/230 is about right under normal circumstances.
Lastly, I appreciate the put down. ;)
And if it makes you feel even better, my best sport was easily cycling, then soccer. So football doesn't even rank unless you count flag where I had tons of fun and actually did play very well once I knew what was going on years after HS when I barely knew anything about the game.
BTW, 1220, if you have other questions, feel free to PM me. I'm happy to entertain them and answer them for you. I've just avoided much today after I realized that I hated the win on Sunday, something that I just learned about myself today!
I often miss posts, so don't assume that I'm intentionally ignoring you.

That was phenominal!!!!
At that rate, if Henry gets 500 carries he'll have 1,500 yards...
WOO HOO...!!!
:rolleyes:
:chuckle:
the sarcasm is pretty funny but on a serious side,the OL basically STUNK the whole day.everybody can talk the talk about 31-0 but that won't happen every game.the OL needs to get the lead out.if we were playing a top 5 defense Sunday,we probably would have gotten our @$$e$ handed to us.

Personally, I'm all for ANY combination of at least ten yards in three downs. Just keep moving the sticks. That's the name of the game-ground aquisition. Whether Wys was being fecetious or not,3.2 yards per carry won't amount to much if all the offense ever does is run the ball. All this statistical "analysis" breaks down immediately once the whistle blows. "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics."
SABURZ,
Please. This is the last time I'm gonna ask you. Do not be so negative. Our 3.2 YPC compares w/ the best in the league Sunday when you consider all of the "circumstances."
Clearly you're not considering what those are! Needless to say they won't be mentioned here. But please, heed them!

How many times do you count on a 4th and 1 conversion on any single drive?
So a 4th and 1 is exactly the same as any other down and 1 to go, eh.
Whatever....
I was kiddding! It was my silly contribution to a silly conversation.

Wys. Thank you for your reply. As I said in my original post, You are a sizeable dude. I figured you probably at least played a little. I agree that someone does not have to have played football to know the game well. I will say however that it does let you see the game from a different perspective than someone who has not....mainly the emotion involved when you're out there...I'm not taking anything away from the emotion in the stands it's just a different kind...to experience it. I tell you, when fall rolls around I can still smell football in the air...the smell of the dirt and leaves in cold air. Now... 13 years later it still kills me that I'll never play again.lol To say the least, I love football. I just recently have begun visiting this board, so responded in kind to several sarcastic threads that really irked me...espcially as a former noseguard.lol I was unaware of any ongoing fueds. As far as my responses, I thought they were very relavent to the title and body of the initial thread...until a good relavent post is ignored by the author and subsequently moved to the non football section....mind you, the entire time irrevalent posts being responded to the entire time. Again... it irked me. I am one who always speaks my mind. That is why an insult may have been muttered...Just letting off steam.lol BTW, I've seen the military flag football at Griffis AFB(when it was there.lol)..those guys take it very seriously..and if I remember correctly, not a whole lot involved with those flags....lots of blood though.lol
I am looking forward to discussing football this season at BZ, hopefully I can contribute some good posts to this board.
Cool.
I moved those BTW. The other admin would likely have you know that was the case. I just figured that if they were so negative and so many people were disturbed, that perhaps the main forums was no place for anything other than purely 100% front office speak.
Sorry if it put you out. But I was a tad bit confused given the circumstances. Seemed like outrage was the order of the day over a seeming extensive intolerance for anything other than speak of perfection and a resolution to a successful season prior to its second game even.
Again, a little confused, but hey...

Thats why you'll never see me make predictions.lol I'll analyse the hell out of things, but I won't predict. Too many reprecussions involved.lol
