Mat68 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Keep featuring Singletary. Offensively, take what the defense is giving. Whether its run it 40 times or pass it 40. Hopefully, some of the banged up guys can rest or get out early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blainorama5 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Hope nobody is sleeping on the Jets this week.

Yeah, probably answering with ... "I'm just playing for my paycheck this week" probably wouldn't go over too well. I'm sure a bunch of the Jets players will just be happy to get their awful season over with, but I'm sure a number of them are playing with motivation for (next year's team, free agency, contract incentives, etc.) Just hoping the Bills keep the proper motivation for a home playoff game!!

We have excellent players in most spots on D, most spots on O. Let’s toss in HOF RB and line.

But in Buffalo playing outdoors you need a team that can run the ball when the weather dictates it. If I remember correctly even Allen said he hoped the new stadium would be a dome.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 1 hour ago, Greg S said: This would be a great question for Beane. Why did you a build a team that struggles in bad weather? Even the Super Bowl era teams could run it down other teams throats when they had too. A strong OL and HOF RB will allow you to do that. First I dont believe you need to build a team for bad weather. Brady and Rodgers never had great power run games playing in New England and GB. However that said, Its not as if he hasn't tried. Moss is a power runner. He drafted Ford. He extended Williams and drafted Brown. Morse is the only lineman that is much better in pass protection than run blocking. Dawkins is adequate in both. Feliciano is better at run blocking. Hell you can go back to letting go of Spain, who was an elite pass blocker but did nothing in the run game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rewatched the game and he honestly looked good to me…never would’ve guessed his stat line was that bad. Two of those picks weee pretty unlucky…that last one looked like gabe was wide open for a big gain if the ball didn’t get tipped. That second pick seemed like Beasley got jammed and just gave up on the route but he could have gotten there…gotta throw that one before he makes his break so it really wasn’t a bad decision. First pick he should’ve thrown away though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is far less explosive than last season. The stats -- both classic and advanced -- bear this out. Everyone figures the Bills need to upgrade the guard spots and maybe the running back room in the offseason, and they probably will. Adding an explosive receiver or two, though, is an underrated need. I love Diggs and Davis, and McKenzie has value as a role player. Sanders will likely be gone and Beasley has lost some explosiveness. We need to add some POP to the WR room for the 2022 season. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s such an odd take but I see that a lot. I feel like we are so psychologically damaged by getting whooped by the pats for years that we assume any game we are not up by 30 at halftime we are going to lose lol. But every game we have won has been by 2+ scores and we never trailed in most of them. It’s really interesting the way this season has gone…we lost every one score game and won 10 other games by 2+ scores very very strange.

WickedGame Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 56 minutes ago, UKBillFan said: Is that just for Week 17 or the whole season? Because, if the latter, seriously??? Buffalo’s running numbers are an optical illusion. If you think the Bills have a bad running game, it’s because you only count RB runs…not Josh Allen runs. And for most of the season, if RB runs were your measuring stick, then it’s true we weren’t great. On the other hand, while QB rushes may be less satisfying to run game traditionalists, they DO count on the stat sheet, and the threat of JA17 rushing DOES make other parts of the offense work. Hard to cover receivers man-to-man if you have to look over your shoulder afraid Josh Allen is gonna rip you for 20-30 yards. The truth is, our running attack isn’t Derrick Henry, Jonathan Taylor, and an OL that pushes mountains around. But it’s still effective in a different kind of way. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warning signs were there last year that their receiving targets weren't as explosive as their overall passing numbers would indicate. They weren't a very good RAC team even then..........but Allen averaged a ridiculous 3.14 seconds before throwing which was statistically the highest above expectation in the league...........so he was getting very good protection and often "waiting" receivers open. They doubled down on "route runners" in the offseason when they got less explosive with Emmanuel Sanders. Beasley and Diggs took an absolute beating last year and haven't looked as healthy or explosive this year. Things still might have worked similarly this year but the pass protection fell apart. But either way the Bills have become underpowered in the weapons category. It wouldn't be a pretty picture if they had an average QB with this supporting cast.

I think defenses adjusted. They saw a lot of man last year and we crushed it. We’re seeing more zone now. Thought after pats game we could trust him to dump it off. He didn’t but that’s something that can be taught so it’s great to learn in a win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
