For regular readers of Buffalo Rumblings you’ve probably noticed two weekly analysis features I write. I’m talking snap counts and All-22 breakdowns. The former is a look at trend data to give a bird’s-eye view of the Buffalo Bills’ scheme during a particular game. The latter is the eye test on a focal point of the week, usually a specific player.
During the bye week it’s always a good time to reset and look at the season to date to talk about the team’s identity. Neither a strict analytics, nor pure eye test will suffice for that though.
