These playoffs have really brought in to focus the need for a running game that can impose its will on a defense, especially for a younger QB. I think I saw the Bills were 8th in yardage? But the true test is can you run effectively inside your own 20 and your opponents. And in this case I don’t believe we are effective enough to help our passing game to be effective and it is part of why we struggled to score touchdowns. I don’t know if it was a lack of trust in Singletary, but too many of these carries went to Gore with little or no results. The scoring drive by San Fran after the turnover they drove around 50 yards and scored a TD never passing. Does anybody think we could pull that off? Whether it’s play calling or personnel, we need to improve this part of our game which in turn will improve our passing game. When teams have to respect our running game, they won’t be able to blitz our QB in the way they have been. Now I know some will say Allen has to get better at making them pay for such blitzing and defending, and this is true. Maybe better weapons and another year in the system helps this, but In my opinion, I don’t believe anybody fears, respects our running game and that is affecting our passing and scoring.
