The 1977 Buffalo Bills season was the franchise's 18th season, and their eighth in the National Football League. The team posted a losing record for the second-consecutive season, and missed the postseason for the third season. Buffalo started the season with four consecutive losses, and failed to win consecutive games. The team was shut out two times at home. The Bills beat only one team with a winning record.〔New England〕 After drawing 76,000 to Rich Stadium on opening day against the Dolphins, Buffalo drew an average of only 35,000 for the remaining 6 home games. The Bills had one of the most pass-heavy offenses in the NFL in 1977. Quarterback Joe Ferguson led the league in pass attempts (457, 32.6 per game) and passing yards (2,803, 200.2 per game). He also threw 24 interceptions, the most in the NFL.〔(Pro-Football-Reference.com 1977 NFL Leaders and Leaderboards )〕 Although the Bills passed the ball more often than any other team, they were not efficient through the air: they ranked 19th〔out of 28 teams〕 in passing touchdowns, 21st in yards per attempt, and 20th in quarterback rating (a dismal 54.7).〔(Pro-Football-Reference.com: 1977 NFL Standings, Team & Offensive Statistics )〕 Buffalo's 160 points scored was the third-worst in the NFL. Buffalo's defense also gave up 313 points, the fourth-worst total in the league.〔(Pro-Football-Reference.com: 1977 NFL Opposition & Defensive Statistics )〕 Buffalo's anemic scoring and porous defense gave the team a point-differential of −153, dead-last in the league.〔(Pro-Football-Reference.com: 1977 Buffalo Bills )〕 ==Offseason== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1977 Buffalo Bills season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
