Rocket94 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I was concerned with the run defense again. It definately needs attention before we have a repeat of the recent past. The Eagles are a good team, and they were able to exploit a few weaknesses. It is good to find these things out now so they can be corrected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are attempting to morph into a deadly passing team and sadly for all of us Allen is not ready. I thought based on free agency and the draft this was going to be a power run season where the offensive line gets to maul opponents with pure power and we mix in a little play action, deep shots and Allen runs. Instead we’re chucking the ball all over the field, which is awesome but it’s not working. Time to slow the game down on offense, stop making silly penalties, control the clock, play smart football and let the defense stay fresh. Just my 2cents THIS is exactly correct IMO also: Buffalo is a poor passing team that INSISTS on throwing the ball anyway. https://www.sharpfootballstats.com/situational-run-pass-ratios--off-.html Here's your analytics Buffalo! Bills have an extremely high success rate running the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrober38 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Our consistent weakness throughout the season has been our passing game. We invested heavily in receivers and linemen and retooled at running back, and the results haven't been what they need to be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should go get Winston, the guy you would have traded an entire draft for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socal-805 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I hate to break up the love-fest here, but what do EITHER of you guys think about running the ball more? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be running the ball as much as San Francisco, and mostly throwing the ball off play action. Singletary should be getting 18-20 touches a game, with Gore sprinkled in for 12-15 touches and Allen running 3-5 times. That should limit Allen to around 30 passes a week, which I think would make the offense better overall.

Buffalo Junction Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 2 hours ago, SoTier said: Whoopty-doo. The Bills run game is good against bottom feeders, but it's not all that good against respectable, middle of the pack teams like the Eagles, and lousy against serious defenses. The Bills didn't lose by a FG to a great team. They got drubbed and exposed by a decent Eagles team, not a Super Bowl contending Eagles team, losing by 18 points. Gore had 17 carries for 109 yards against the Pats.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly their best game was a loss. This defense is overrated and I've said that all along not just after this past game. Offensively they're average at best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won’t be satisfied? Then you’re welcome to jump off the bandwagon. I would say winning a playoff game counts as a statement win. There’s no viable manner in which someone could argue a playoff win on the road doesn’t fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Summary Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Unlikely to see the degree of turnover the OP suggests. Next season, there will inevitably be players playing in positions that will frustrate fans. We'll talk about getting two new tackles but will end up getting one that is better and hope that is enough to stabilize the line. We'll want Ford out of the RT position but they'll either see progression or move him to guard and we'll hope they are correct. No way you blow up the roster at this point. It's continual incremental improvement at this point. Add an impactful RT, WR, and DE and you've got a substantially better team IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 What’s gone wrong? Very little. They’re ahead of schedule in their rebuild and playing with house money the rest of this year. To quote Aaron Rogers....RELAX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 This thread is as good as any to ask the question 'Did I miss a memo, when did a 'statement win' become a thing"? I'm looking forward to any type of win Sunday to go 6-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to HAVE to take this approach if they want to be beat Dallas or Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etsh Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) I agree with points 3, 5 and maybe 7, but it drives me crazy when people use analysis calling for a Julio Jones "type" or a CJ Moseley "type" as if these people aren't singular world class athletes but are made in a mold somewhere.
