    There are a lot of reports right now about it being due to a car accident. Way too early overall but we can probably chill on the overdose, etc. talk for the time being. There's a very good chance that this legend who was well known for giving to the community just died from complications due to a car accident. Awful.

    The Bills can stop their freefall by starting to prove they're as tough as their city

    Sadly, I think we're still beat to ***** from NE.....

     

    Tampa is going to run on us too....  and stop our feeble run game.....

     

    This Bills team has Allen, Diggs (who is no kid) White (Who is gone for a year) and Dion Dawjkins (Who May be chronically ill).  That's our upper echelon talent and it is very sad.

    We better hope Epenesa, Groot and Basham take the NFL by Storm next year.

    That our '20 , '21 and '22 drafts really, really take off and that Beane knows what the goal is.... (It's to win a Super Bowl, Beane!) 

    He had better come up with an intelligent, aggressive plan and inactive it if he likes his job.

     

    Go Bills!

     

    I don't disagree with your general overall point and have been expressing some serious concern about development, but Diggs is 28, in incredible shape, has world class training, and is often elusive enough to escape a big hit. He'll be good for years.

    With so many "busts", is it possible they're not being correctly coached?

    Coached, developed, how ever you want to put it I think the answer is unfortunately yes, particularly for the d-line and RB's. D-line has shown some flashes but there have just been too many 1-2 round picks for somebody to not be taking over by now. There are currently 10 players with at least 10 sacks this year, and nobody on Buffalo is anywhere close. And it's not because everybody's eating - this team is 27th in total sacks. How is that not a failure at some level considering how many picks we've used in the top of the draft recently, in addition to FA's we've brought in? 

     

    Same can be said for RB for obvious reasons. Singletary and Moss weren't reaches. 

    OK, armchair analysts: How do we fix this offense?

    I have very little confidence in our line thus making it tough to judge our backs. Moreover there is no creativity in the run game. Not jet sweeps, no fake jet sweeps, very few swing passes, no RB screens ever. No runs from under center. I never see a 6th o-lineman used. I think we used a 3 back shotgun/pistol formation for one play one the opening series, don’t think it was ever used again? Was that game planned in all week for one plan only? 

     

    I honestly don’t think zeke Elliot would be putting up great numbers with this Oline and run game philosophy.

     

    Agree that it's probably coaching first, but at this point I'm also concerned with the talent. Primetime Zeke would probably move the chains a bit more on this offense, as would a Javonte Williams or Najee Harris for example. Playcalling does seem awful too though so it is hard to gauge overall I guess, but I just don't think there's a single back on this active roster that has it in them to really impact a game.

     

    I don't get why people hate the Antonio Williams idea, though? It's very optimistic yeah but at this point in the season that's also basically it. Why not play him? What other option is there? I guess we can just continue to hope that Matt Breida suddenly becomes the back he's never really been, or I guess Singletary finally starts running faster lol. C'mon. I don't have much real hope in Antonio Williams but he's truly the only hope there is, the other 3 aren't going to surprise you down the stretch.

    obscure backs go off when they have an offensive line that is good. Example Olandis Gary in Denver, many moons ago. 

     

    I actually thought about Olandis Gary when I posted that, good call. Cadillac Williams as well, etc.

     

    I don't disagree with your your point, but I still stand by mine - this goes back to the RB's are a dime a dozen BS - yes you need a good line, but you also need a pretty decent back. I'm not talking about the line, that's a separate subject. I'm talking about the back, and ours aren't delivering and are incredibly underwhelming. Want to offer more commentary on our current running backs?

    Mike Evans is a first ballot Hall of Famer currently on a record pace and he will probably catch a ton of footballs against this team, it's a given, especially with Tre out. He doesn't get the right amount of credit.

     

    Defense will have their hands full, so the offense needs to do something. If they can't figure out this running game which seems very unlikely, then Diggs needs more targets than he's had all year. And Beasley. Warm weather game so I need 25+ targets between the two, really, if they have any hope of keeping up. I'm expecting a huge Diggs game, win or lose. Josh/Diggs/Beasley, maybe Knox need to put this on their back next week.

     

    Less plodding running backs. Let Allen air it out.

    Kerryon Johnson is still out there. If Kalen Ballage can play in the NFL right now, Kerryon Johnson can play in the NFL right now. He's faster than Singlemoss and only has 3 fumbles through 3 years - better rate than Singlemoss and Breida. 24 years old, 4.3 ypc in the NFL. What am I missing on this guy? He might be better than any back currently on our roster.
