Message: [QUOTE="SUFan44, post: 1246721, member: 39"] This doesn't make any sense. There were 5 punts in the NFL as a whole where a team had the ball on their own 40 or better trailing in the 4th quarter. 3 of them were made by the Bills. And the Bills lost two of those games, which is the difference between 9-7 and 11-5 (PLAYOFFS). That leads me to believe that the Bills are doing something different than the NFL average, not the other way around. Also, if you dig a little deeper using that tool, there were 151 instances of a team going for it on 4th and 1. 106 were successful. 70% success rate. I'd say, taking into account the clock and everything else, going for it on 4th and 1 trailing in the 4th quarter should be a no brainer. For some it is not, obviously. [/QUOTE]
