The Big Cat Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Last year Houston led the NFL with 551 rushing attempts (34.4/gm). In 2013, WE led the league with 546 runs. Every time a non-Bills fan asks me "Yeah, but who's your quarterback?" I facetiously respond "doesn't matter, we'll be running the ball 45/gm." What do you think we can reasonably expect? Last year, the Niners were 9th in the NFL with less than 30/gm. They were third in 2013 (505) and seventh in 2012 (492). I'm thinking we come in around the 35/gm mark again. But that's a conservative guess. The way things are shaping up, we could be pushing damn near 40 rushes/gm. What say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I'd expect roughly 35/20 rush/pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 I'd expect roughly 35/20 rush/pass Well, the average team ran 64 offensive plays/gm, which is right around where we came in. If we rush the ball 35 times, we'll be throwing it between 25-30 times, and I believe that's about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I suspect with all the running plays we will come in low on the plays per game due to the clock stopping less. But you're right, my pass number is 20-25 really Edited March 10, 2015 by BuffaloHokie13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To AVERAGE 20-25 would be epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
