Yeah but the few teams you mentioned were the exception and not the rule. Its common sense that when you pass a lot it is more likely that you are going to have more sacks especially with an immobile QB. And it is common sense that when you have fewest rushing attempts in the league your rushing numbers are not going to be very good and yet we still had the 5th leading rusher. Explain one thing to me though zachseau if our o-line is so bad how come they seemed to have an easy time pushing your defensive line around. I mean Bledsoe had time to throw all over the field and Henry had 2 100 yard games.
Again, not true, for the third time, passing attempts are not directly linked to sacks.
Let me give you some more teams than the three I have already given you: Indianapolis in 2002 had the 5th ranked passing offense and surrendered only 23 sacks (31 fewer than Buffalo), Seattle had the 4th ranked passing offense and surrendered 33 sacks (21 fewer than Buffalo), the New York Giants had the 7th ranked passing offense and surrendered only 24 sacks.
These are good offensive lines, Buffalo's is pathetic.
In the two games that Miami and Buffalo played last year, Buffalo rushed for 132 yards in the first game and 161 yards in the second game, hardly dominating performances. By contrast, Miami rushed for 270 yards and 132 yards in the two games.
Finally, you claim that Bledsoe had time to throw all over the field. Bledsoe was sacked 5 times in the first game and 4 times in the second game.
Bledsoe played very well in the second game, but you can certainly not credit his porous, pathetic offensive line for his performance
