78thealltimegreat Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I know WR is still a need but I’m starting to get concerned with the ability of our backs to get short yardage or run out the clock seems we still need a bell cow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I don’t blame it on the running backs as much as play calling. Extremely predictable and Washington is not a pushover front 7. They’re pretty stout up front and fast at linebacker 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) 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 Edited November 3, 2019 by matter2003 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I said it after the 3 stops at the goal line. Why don’t they spread the field and give it to Singletary on short yardage. Thankfully Daboll was listening. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

H2o Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 What? Singletary had his best game as a pro today against a team who had been playing solid defense the last couple of weeks holding SF and Minnesota mainly in check. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 6 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: I am worried that we insist on running it when we should be passing it. 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwistofFate Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I respect the body of work of Frank Gore throughout his career, but it's painfully obvious Singletary should be the starter. Gore is a one dimensional back at this point in his career, and lacks the elusiveness needed to be an every down back. He doesn't have the break away speed anymore either. Singletary can do it all and makes the defense account for him in multiple ways. He can create huge mismatches in the passing game, and has the burst and agility to break a huge play at any time. The only time Gore should be out there, imo, is to let Devin catch his breath. Go Bills! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookie Man Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I'd love to them add another piece to the backfield in the offseason. Either a big, between tackles back like Carson or a speed back that you can split out and torch LBs like Aaron Jones did to KC last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Loved that we were committed to the run but I can see why Daboll ignores it, some of his run designs are just putrid. Gore also looked old today. We need to run more RPOs in short yardage. Worked like a charm on Singletary's touchdown. Maybe work in some two back sets.
