Lieutenant Aldo Raine

Got ya; thanks. I was looking at a more holistic view over the past two years going into this year (hence the 37 games part). We'll see how this year goes.

Fair enough. I think it was a worthy discussion and a lot of valid points supporting and to chill. Let's see how this year goes.

True, but as I stated earlier, the majority of Allen’s rushing TDs are from broken plays and improvising compared to designed runs.

I agree, but I still believe we can get more TD production from the RBs.

I’ll be sure to revisit this after this year to see if we have improved, but the I believe the point of the thread is valid and merits discussion.

Dude, for the 100th time, I’m not focusing on Sunday; read the original post for context.

I agree, but even Cam got good production from Stewart, Williams, and eventually McAffrey.

Perhaps if the RBs could produce more in the redzone, we might average more than 19 pts per game. If you think averaging 1 rushing TD per every four games by our RBs is adequate and cannot be improved upon; that's your opinion and I disagree with it. It's okay; I can handle you disagreeing with me.

Again, this has nothing to do with Sunday. But many of the drives are not ending in TDs, but in FG attempts and I believe the lack of RB contribution contributes to this. We can disagree, no problem.

Nope not at all. The question is, are you satisfied with TD production by the RBs over the past few years heading into this year (1 rushing TD per every 4 games by the RBs). If not, okay then. Point of my thread and my opinion is, as much as we should feel good about Allen and his rushing TDs, the majority of them are from broken plays and not by design. I believe this to be an area where we need to improve, as simple as that. If you disagree and are content with the current production, that's cool and your opinion. Just trying to have a conversation here.

Your stat is not correct; the Bills only had 4 rushing TDs out of 13 last year from RBs (2 from Gore and 2 from Singletary); Allen had the other 9. In 2018 they had the same (3 from McCoy and 1 from Ivory) out of 15; Allen had 8, Mckenizie 2, and Peterman 1. I agree with about increasing the passing TD #s, but ignoring the lack of ability for the RBs to get into the endzone and just relying all on the QB doesn't help. Many of those failures to get turned into FGs instead of TDs.

Yo @jeremy2020! Was I talking about runs over 20 yards in my initial post? I am not ignoring it and I appreciate the fact you contributed that to the discussion. Perhaps you could address and not ignore my overall point about the lack of rushing TDs by the RBs (TDs = 6pts). Let me see if I can explain it a different way to you. The Bills scored 314 pts last year as team. The RBs produced 4 TDs last year equating to 24 pts of that 314. Would be nice to see that improved don't you agree, or are you satisfied with the status quo?

I don't see Josh Allen as the break the bank type.

I don't disagree there at all. Everyone is making rationale points. I just look at the Ravens for example with a QB, who like Allen, gets his share of rushing TDs. But the the RBs contribute more, 28 TDs in 2-years to our 8 TDs in years outside of the QBs. I think it's a fair question regardless of how many spears are thrown.

Well, we are always talking about improving our 19pts per game right? We draft and acquire players to improve that. Therefore; it is rationale to look at areas where we can improve that, and I believer more production from our RBs could help. If you disagree, so be it. Thanks for the response.

Did I ever mention one game? I am talking a two-year trend.

Sure is; do you care to provide a rationale opinion? Just a conversation, no need to be snarky.

That's a great point; without going back to look; I would venture at least half if not more.

Ok; so you're going to avoid the point of the thread. All good.

Yes; but what if I told you we scored less rushing TDs in 2019 than we did in 2018. 15 total compared to 13.

Nope; honest question. Do you care to imply a rational response? Do you think this is an area where if got better production, we might be even better?

If you read my initial post; I'm not taking about one game. I'm talking over two years! Like I said, the Ravens have 28 rushing TDs to our 8 TDs outside of Lamar and Josh. I think two years is enough to establish a trend. I'm just saying if we can improve this area, how much better could we be? Is that a rationale question to ask or just an overreaction?

Ok, thanks.

Try answering the question as a whole? Do think this is sufficient?

Point of my inquiry is this? Everyone knows Lamar Jackson is a threat running the ball, just like Allen. But the Ravens got 14 rushing TDs in each 2018 and 2019 not counting Lamar's contribution. That's 28 TDs compared to our 8 in two years. If we could improve that, we would improve our PPG average in my opinion.
