Hapless Bills Fan 25,836 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 This didn't quite soak in during the game. We had 126 rush yards overall, which is respectable 32 rush yards from our RBs. 15 from Yeldon on 3 carries 17 from Singletary on 6 carries 88 from Josh Allen on 7 carries We have no rushing game While our strength is our passing game -- it's axiomatic that if a team has a weakness that the D doesn't need to account for, they can blanket and take away other aspects more easily 8 1 5 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lieutenant Aldo Raine 1,534 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Been saying this for awhile; the lack of RB production is an achilles heel to this team. You still need a relative threat of balance. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our run game has been complete ***** all year. We need a much better RB1 next year. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BillsRdue 1,664 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I'd like to see them try to keep Devonta Freeman in the offseason. If he can get healthy and back to his 2018 form, he might be dangerous again, but it's a big if worth trying. It would be nice to get another RB with Moss and maybe Devin doesn't make the team. I'm not sure Wade will pan out, but next year is his last and he will either be on the roster or cut, no PS. He's getting old. Looking around the NFL, Lindsay from Denver would be a good pickup, perhaps Carson. I wouldn't mind if Harris (AL) dropped I'd snag him in the first. If Ettiene is around in the middle of the 2nd I'd trade up, but we definitely could use some speed and a breakaway threat out of the backfield. Currently we don't have any #1's back there and we need one. The run game ended up hurting our offense overall. We need more balance and a true threat at TE. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie Joe 2,802 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I’m telling you guys...pick 30 should be in play for RB and yes I’m aware there are plenty of needs on D 5 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigDingus 1,641 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Well yeah, going into this game I saw a stat that only 1 team in history managed to make it to the SB averaging this few rushing yards from RB's. You don't have to be great, but you need to at least have the ability to field a rushing attack at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We need a new feature back next season with some speed 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
billsherd 361 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 We have no concept of the running game. I am sure wherever he interviewed he was asked about the run game. Daboll needs a run game coordinator. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lot of speedy decent backs in free agency this offseason. Jeff Wilson from San Fran I think is hitting free agency. Brieda has some speed. Lindsay is speedy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aussie Joe 2,802 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I wonder if Beane looked at Fournette mid season? He is what we need and I seem to recall he was picked up cheap 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldnt even say we were exposed...offensively at least. The chiefs weren't doing anything creative on the back end they just had a great game defensively. They didn't really create some blueprint for other teams to follow when they play us 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jlgarsh 215 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I would have liked to see Yeldon get a few more opportunities to run. He at least moves forward when running. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
