Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Please don't start!! 😎 Love shady and I believe he's a top 5 rb and elite, but the OL has been the difference IMO. He's getting huge holes and making the most of it. The OL has been the most critical part of our roster in my eyes. They sucked vs Baltimore and weren't much better vs the Jets. Since then, they've been phenomenal. Kromer has been great as well as A Lynns playcalling. OL is doing better. Most prominently they are having success running Right. Early on they couldn't get anything going unless it was behind cog and glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016  @RotoPat  LeSean McCoy is averaging 5.25 yards per carry even though he's faced run defenses allowing a collective 3.79 yards per carry. hes played excellent. ill admit to my gut reaction being at best mixed. hes incredibly talented, but i was worried about his mileage. he had put up big numbers for a long time, and thats a red flag in its own way for committing to a RB.  hes playing very well, but itll still be a matter of "how long" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I for one am disappointed in Shady. The guy is clearly blowing his opportunity to be a true radio legend by continuing to excel on the football field rather than working on his future career in the radio booth. Â The guy just doesn't seem to care enough to be a radio giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Franklin Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I am a sinner on this. Â To me the big change in the last 3 games and especially the last 2 is running between the tackles. Roman seemed to almost only run him on sweeps and today's NFL defenses are too fast to live on that play alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Amazing what can happen for a RB when he gets decent blocking. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman seemed to almost only run him on sweeps and today's NFL defenses are too fast to live on that play alone. That's a solid analysis. He's hitting the hole quickly and he's quick enough to make the first linebacker miss him. He's fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzelaars_lives Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Whaley should be in the Hall of Fame for trading Kiko for McCoy. Yeah yeah yeah, enjoy your day in the sun. The jury is still out on the Jerry Hughes/Kelvin Sheppard trade- let's see how that one plays out before crowning Whaley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Shady's on-pace for 1430 yards rushing with 10 TD's and 304 yards receiving with 3 TD's. Let's hope he keeps that pace up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â hes playing very well, but itll still be a matter of "how long" Â Â Â Â Yes 16 starts without even 120 yards rushing in one of them is a very legitimate reason for concern. Â I will give him credit.......he finally stepped up and had a legit pro bowl kinda' day rather than the moral victory/subjectively defined performances.....that fans often to a fault have been trying to pass off as super. Â But he is the 15th individual in Bills history to rush for 150...........so let's not build a monument just yet. Â The bigger story is that this OL just GASHED the Cardinals and Rams defenses in 2 of the past 3 weeks.......some of the holes were ridiculous and yes, just about any decent back would get a lot of yardage thru those holes. Â And Jerome Felton has been excellent as well...........though it concerns me a little that Shady couldn't outrun him to the end zone. Â I still think Shady is missing some of the explosiveness he had in his prime and that is evident in not finishing runs off for TD's........3 years ago he probably breaks off two of those runs for TD's and gets 200 yards(and he knows that ). Â I'm glad for the production, they needed it on a day where the Rams were vulnerable inside and Tyrod struggled and the defense was giving away first downs like candy. Â Still like to see more MG and hopefully Karlos can get his act together and get back on the team........they miss that physical aspect from their RB's......24 mins TOP is not a good enough to support the D and they need to soften these opposing defenses up so they aren't going 3 and out nearly the entire second half of games.

Kelly the Dog Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Not sure if someone had posted this in other threads but coming home from the game yesterday I saw a tweet that said "the last time a Bills RB had this sized lanes to go through, Al Cowlings was driving an SUV."

Alaska Darin Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 The final long run (24 yards to the 1) was breathtaking. There probably isn't another back in the league that makes that first guy miss. Â He may not be what he once was but he's still better than most, especially when there are actual holes to run through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I was wrong. But my narcissism won't let me admit any error so instead I'm doubling down because I let my personal opinion of a player, and my need to be right at all costs, color my analysis.

Kelly the Dog Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 A very knowledgeable Rams fan was sitting in front of us and we spoke to him throughout the game. He said Donald was great but that the DL is very rotational and the 5-7 guys were as good as the starters. He didn't think it was any big deal that they were missing three starters, and he wasn't a homer thinking they were great everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somnus00 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I wouldn't say I was a doubter, but I was wondering if Gillislee should be getting a larger role in the offense. It's amazing that the switch to Lynn brought us the Shady that we traded for. Â Coaching does make a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
