BuffOrange Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 All this can be answered like this: Last year Buffalo had a great pass defense and we still got our asses handed to us, why?? Because we had one of the worst run defenses. Teams ran all over us and our offense couldn't do anything to help matters. Buffalo lost the super bowl to the giants and were doing great until the giants ran the same run play like 9 times in a row and we couldn't stop them, hence we lost because of time.... Great teams need the run to set up the pass... Steelers did it with a rookie named Big Ben. They ran like crazy and threw to keep teams honest. 2010 Bills will be running and throwing just to keep teams honest. When we burn them with a big throw, look and see if they don't have 8-9 in the box. Buffalo games will be low scoring because Chan will have us running as much as we can with little throws and one or two big shots down field. Point is, set up the pass by the run. This has been that way for years................. I mean there's cherrypicking and then there's this. You can bring up the Bills last year and I can bring up the Saints, who were much better vs. the pass than the run. You can bring up the Bills-Giants SB and someone else can bring up Titans-Rams. The Steelers were a run-first team in '06 yes. They were also a wildcard who sniffed the SB because their young QB threw the ball up and down the field vs. Indy and Denver (taking out Palmer's knee didn't hurt). He also wasn't a rookie. When he was a rookie he played dreadful in 2 playoff games going 1-1 - it would've been 0-1 if the Jets kicker didn't miss 2 FG's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
