Anyone else getting concerned about our running game?


Recommended Posts

No...they are not good on power runs...haven't been all year...they are near the bottom of the league at them...why they keep insisting on running them i don't know....go spread and run out of it if they have to...

 

They run the ball pretty effectively otherwise, just not when they go jumbo or tank and decide to bring everyone near the LOS

Man, I feel for Daboll. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. This fan base.

Ha I agree. But the "run it more" people are just wrong. We did not lose last week because we passed too much. That was an idiotic argument. We lost last week because we couldn't stop the run.

Doughball just doesn't have it - he's a bad coordinator.

A+ analysis

Yeah go check out Football Outsiders offensivr line power rankings...i believe the Bills are 29th.

 

Every other category they are top 10 in and lead the NFL in Adjusted Line Yards and 2nd level yards...overall they are doing very well running just not in power situations.

No, up until today the Bills have been pass happy. Today with first and Gail they went backwards with ***** play calling and becoming pass happy. 
 

In the second half with the box stacked the Bills should have done play action, we saw it work on the last TD drive.

It does kind of feel like we let our offense become one-dimensional when it doesn't need to be. Our offense isn't good enough yet to just play run or pass we need to play our best mixing in both.
