  1. This "Nobody wants to sign with Buffalo because it's a small poor city" thing is far less true than you think. Maybe there are a 1-2 FA's every year that would avoid us, but in general the Bills can get who they want if they offer the money. Players do not avoid this city as much as our collective inferiority complex thinks it does.

  2. Cringe away then...the Bills should have run the ball more this year. You have to complete passes to move the ball...and the completions can't be for 2-5 yards all the time. I have no problem with passing the ball a lot, when it is working...when the passing game isn't getting it done, and you have a running back who is gaining nice yardage, you have to run the ball then...and then, maybe, the passing game has some breathing room. I think Gailey's attachment to his passing fancy, when his running game was firing on most cylandars, cost the Bills legit chances to win the Titans and the second Miami game.

     

    Actually after reading this again. I can agree with it as an in-game (short term) strategy when it's just obvious your passing game won't work that day.

     

    What I mean to say is build the passing game as a long term strategy. When building our roster and planning for games the Bills should keep moving in the direction they are headed. More passing and a stronger passing attack. Get some WR's on the team who can make it 16 games healthy and get another TE. It's the new NFL and we need to play like it's 2012 in NFL.

  3. I'm reading a super interesting article from Gregg Easterbrook. I find myself agreeing with him a lot this time. Usually don't agree with him much. This bit really stands out for me.

     

    The most efficient rushing team this season, Carolina, gained 5.4 yards per attempt, and finished with a losing record. The second-most efficient rushing team, Minnesota, with 5.2 yards per attempt, finished 3-13. Gaining the most yards per try with passing plays is the winning football formula of the moment.
