Would the Bills have done better....

[Judge]

if they had a defense that at least equalled the league average in creating turnovers to help its overworked offense win some more games?

For sure. We were about average in giveaways and DEAD LAST in takeaways. We fared well compared to the other teams in the bottom of the takeaway list.

That in my opinion is THE main reason why we didn't make the playoffs. Just a couple more opportune takeaways would have meant a division title.

We actually had the turnover that would have got us into the playoffs despite a poor D. It was taken away by the refs in GB.

Look at the company we were with.

Turnover margin:

Chicago -7
Detroit -7
Houston -8
Arizona -10
Buffalo -12
Washington -14
Cincinnati -15
Minnesota -18
St. Louis -19

I don't trust your source. :snicker:

"Would the Bills have won more games if they had a D that created more turnovers?"

What kind of question is that? It's like asking:

"Would the Bills have won more games if they had scored more points each game?"

or

"Would the Bills have made the playoffs if they had swept everyone in the AFC East and had the best record?"

Is the sky blue? Are we all going to die someday?

The point of this poll is to show how stupid Wys's polls are. Thanks for getting it Wisconsin.

The real question is: Would the Bills have won more games if they went 9-7 instead of 8-8?

[THATHURMANATOR]

Wow LOG that is a great point..... I will have to think about that one!

If you take away the wins, you would have one less loss.

Yep, it even passes the wys litmus test. :D
