zow2 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 The Bills are capable... maybe not like the Chiefs, Eagles, Saints, Pats,... but the Bills need more chunk plays on offense. If a team typically needs 8-10+ plays to score points, it's inevitable that something bad will happen along the way.. i.e. penalty, sack, tipped pass, dropped pass, failed 3rd down conversion, INT, fumble, etc.. Even if it's a Josh Allen 30 yard run, they need to come up with some big yardage plays. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown had also big plays off top of my head I can name 5 chunk plays out of just those two. Remember for as bad as their CBs are their Safeties are pretty Solid.

Rc2catch Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 With what they tried to accomplish the first half throwing non stop, I have a feeling this is the tip of the iceberg on what they’re expecting this offense to do. I have zero doubts they’re looking to morph this into a big play offense. Let’s keep in mind too the jets are not a scrub defense and gave us some easy looks specifically trying to keep plays in front of them and not give up chunk plays.

Virgil Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 We had 6 plays of 20+ yards yesterday. If I’m not mistaken, that was up there compared to the rest of the NFL. Ours just didn’t result in TD’s 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I hope Foster's foot heals quickly. I'm guessing the plan is to get him on the field with Brown. Try to cover them both with Beasley and a TE going underneath. Chunk play time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaattMaann Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 we had more than a handful of chunk plays and I bet we get more than that on most game days...we have the makings of an explosive offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrbojanglezs Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Allen had a couple nice intermediate/long chunk plays...plus couple nice runs by Motor....just no big bombs, bombs are not the same as chunk plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Offense: six "chunk" plays of 20+ yards and one TD Defense: zero "chunk" plays allowed Is that how this game is played? If not for the unfortunate turnovers in the first half (three of them were extremely unlucky) we're talking about a different ballgame. And before anyone chimes in with "but you can't ignore the turnovers" I know that. I can also read a box score that shows Buffalo outgained the Jets by almost 150 yards. 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 They are coming. The Jets have a really good front seven, which kept us from being able to take shots down field, especially because we could not establish the run and loosen things up. That will not be the case every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) OK Chunk Plays are defined as Pass Plays over 20 yards Runs over 10 Yard. SO with that the Bills had 8 Chunk Plays that were run (a couple incomplete as well) 1st Half 1 - Sweeney Catch - 29 Yards 2 - Brown Catch - 28 yards 2nd Half 3 - Singletary - 20 yard run 4 - Singletary - 23 yard Run 5 - Singeltary - 12 yard run 6 - Singeltary - 12 yard run 7 - Zay Jones Catch - 20 yard 8 - Brown catch - 38 yards Jets had 3 Chunk Plays 1st Half 1 - Bell - 12 yard run 2 - Bell - 10 yard run 2nd Half 3 - Bell - 11 yard run Edited September 9, 2019 by MAJBobby 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessAccepted Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) I do not understand why so threads are so negative. We need chunk plays smh. As many posters have already pointed out there were at least 6 chunk plays. We also saw Allen complete almost 65% of his passes. We also saw Allen do something that you usually only see the Patriots, Steelers, Cowboys doing, and that is come back and win a game that the other team should not have lost. I am a firm believer that teams need to learn how to win. This team is learning how to win and starting to believe. People need to sit back and trust the process.

zow2 Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 So many chunk plays in this Houston/Saints game, Jeez, it should be sponsored by chunky soup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEN-CAL17 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 The only thing that worries me about the offense is the Bills don’t have a smash mouth RB. 3rd and short plays will be tough. We will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking multiple deep shots against Gregg WIlliams' defenses is not necessarily a productive or advisable tactic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 If the Bills invite me to practice, I'll be happy to bring my pitching wedge and display the proper chunk technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
