It’s not that easy what we need to do is develop a run game. Look at Rodgers yesterday, look at Mahomes today Allen needs a run game 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaadThingsMan Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Aaron Rodgers was using the wind in Green Bay last night. If I remember correctly, the commentators mentioned it. U have to know your surroundings, we have heard for years that the conditions in Bills Stadium are tough on QBs. We have the answer in Josh Allen. I agree with the OP get em in the stadium and let them experience every element. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigK14094 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Interesting comments here supporting a dome. There was a time when the Bills considered playing outside in the elements to their advantage during the winter, as other teams didn't practice in the conditions common for the Bills. Since the field house....the advantage has evaporated. The coaches like what they can get done inside, and the players union has limited the practice time of the players, outside practice is minimized. Yes, the home team should know the winds better than the visitors. Last night I sensed that Allen, Bass were as clueless as were the Ravens about how to handle the stadium winds....shouldn't be that way. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 For those that want a dome. how many of the 32 teams have a dome? 7. Only 7. who’s going to fund the 25 teams without a dome to become a domed stadium to make it an equal field of play? it would also demand that all domes with retractable roofs remain closed. Arizona, Atlanta, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, and New Orleans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if it’s more on Daboll or Allen, but the onslaught of low percentage deep throws in those elements wasted a bunch of downs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Dome or no dome, Beane has been effective at shoring up weak spots on the roster from season to season. The goal for next year has to be finding pieces to improve the running game. I'm not sure if it's a RB or better run blockers on the OL, but something is missing. Earlier in the season, it looked like they needed LB help and players to stop the run, and they still do, but they appear to have improved significantly in that area as the season has gone on. At this point, their run D looks better than their run O. And as to the OP, yes, they should practice in the stadium, at least from time to time. Perhaps they already do (I don't know). The next game will either be outdoors at KC in wintry conditions or in the Bills own stadium, so they need to be comfortable in those surroundings. I trust the coaching staff to do what they need to be prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for the current Bills to be able to do better at Bills stadium is that they need more practice inside the stadium during the winter months. During the game last night, we saw Allen and Singletary slip on the ground a couple of times. Both QB’s struggled with deep passes due to the wind. I think if the Bills had more practice in those conditions, they could realize how far they could/couldn’t accurately throw the ball. Same goes with attempting FG’s. This isn’t a knock on the team. The weather impacted both teams offenses last night. I remember back in the 90’s when teams did not want to come to Buffalo for the playoffs because of the weather as it was an advantage for the Bills. It would be great to see the Bills use the weather to their advantage. Go Bills! We were a running team in the 90's, much easier to deal with bad weather.

K-Gun offense being a running team? I’d have to disagree. While the K-Gun offense of the 90’s was a more balanced offense (passing/rushing) than the current Bills, the Bills threw more than they ran it.
