I do. But I don’t blame you as it’s an easy trap to fall into. If you ever are bored enough to read The Hidden Game of Football, you’ll see where my views on running come from. Running for the sake of running, because logically the defense has to account for it not to mention the physicality involved (the Chargers coach recently made this argument) is silly. Defenses don’t care if you jam square blocks into round holes repeatedly. That won’t make them adjust. Only a quality rushing game will do that and we simply do not have the horses for that game.

“I’m going to keep trying to force this square block into this round hole. Just gotta find a way to make it work!”

I give Buscaglia’s grades about as much merit as what my neighbor thinks about the game. I realize that’s its hip to look at the ALL-22 (I do too) and try to analyze an NFL play, but Buscaglia has zero credentials. He never played at even the college level. Never coached. Never assisted to my knowledge. He’s just another fan giving his opinion. Long story short, I advice everyone to take every grade and analysis from every reporter with a grain of salt.

As for the running game, how long should one commit to something that clearly isn’t working?

I don’t judge a GM based only on their history of drafting busts. I also want to see if they can acquire elite talent. Beane has not been able to do that. He has acquired “good talent”, sometimes, but not elite (outside Allen). He has also made one of the worst trades for the Bills in the last 20 years, if not longer. He also sat on his hands while the OL was being mauled. .

Why isn’t Breida playing more.

Outside of poor clock management, he shouldn’t. Coaches put players in position but they can’t make them make the play. - Addison has Wentz for a sack and let him slip. He was in position. - Allen had the 1st down on 3rd down, but Ford false start. Players were in position. - Mckenzie fumbled without being touched. He was in position.

Only need 4 more of those. And to score TD’s every time inbetween.

Taron gets called for that hold, but this is ignored…

In general, the vibe of this team is so drastically different from last year.

You’re calling the game in a bubble. Not in the situation that currently exists (wind/rain).

The missed PI on the interception was costly - 7 points. But you’re right that we still look awful despite them.

But the FG wasn’t going to be made in those situations. Or better said, it was unlikely the FG would be made in those situations.

It really wasn’t fine. It was poor. There should have been a timeout directly after Diggs first down catch. You don’t want your offense running to the line and running. a play with the wind whipping and the rain pouring. It’s a recipe for disaster.

And that’s why I said that.

Hate the FG call here. Would rather throw it long toward the endzone and try to draw PI than have Bass kick a 50+ yarder in the wind and rain.

Timeouts were grossly mismanaged by McD there. There should have been a timeout right after the Diggs catch.

Allen backed up right into the pressure.

Wish this was a 30 second timeout. We had a rhythm going.

It was still a run. What kind of quasi statistics are you running? lol

McKenzie is good for 3-4 fumbles per year. Bills knew this when they let Roberts walk.

12 runs and 2 passes on that drive? I think I have that right.

11 straight runs.

If we had the Colts o-line, we would be unstoppable.
