Success Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Singletary is just so consistently good. 100% effort on every play - big runs, and nice catches that he turns into good gains. Moss was being pretty maligned - but he had a GREAT run in the 2nd half, and then a pretty big 3rd down conversion. Cook looked great, both running & catching passes. Today was the guy I expected when we drafted him. It would be good if we could get more of a running game actually going, consistently. I think we have the talent to do it. A lot will come down to the blocking schemes, but I thought all 3 guys gave a great effort today and showed some skills. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Singletary was terrible running the ball today. And he caught everything but also had some terrible decisions on where he should go with the ball in his hands and hesitancy which was always his issue. have to disagree with you on just about everything here today. Our backs are not good 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 No game (in recent Bills history) shows that the Bills need to work on the running game more than what we saw today. It goes a lot deeper than the individual RB stats. The passing game does work but no team can be one sided. Dorsey needs to address the elephant in the room. 3 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 James Cook is still a ball of nerves out h there. But once he settle down, he will be much much better. Moss gets no respect but i like him. 2nd and goal from the one inch line late in the game give him the ball to plow ahead, and if not give it to him on 3rd and 4th down too. Just a mistake not to. He knows where the end zone is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also paint a picture for the defense as they know what’s happening when they see certain guys on offense. for example, you aren’t running the ball if Cook is on the field. So the defense can expect a passing play and would be correct probably 99% of the time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 We need play action to be part of the attack.....when we get pass happy we do ourselves no favors. The defense needs to be kept honest. The Dolphins Dline just pinned their ears back. We really need Morse back. We ran 83 plays. Josh threw or ran the ball on 71 of them. By the 4th Q the Dolphins knew what we were doing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warcodered Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Also Groot is a big ass tree person, and is a pretty good DE. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the talent at RB can be debated, I truly believe that the running game has not been schemed and the effort has not nearly been invested compared to the passing game. Don't get me wrong, the passing game takes priority, it's just that you have to show a capable running game to defenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 The running scheme is killing me. Not sure why we can’t draw up some of the same running plays that Miami ran today with the misdirection. Not that they ran super well, but there were at least some lanes for the back.

JoshAllin Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Running up the middle with this center is a mistake, once Moss hit the outside is where things opened up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our backs are not good James Cook looked like a weapon. The other two are just JAG running backs. Should acknowledge though.. Moss had the big run and made a big time conversion when he was dead to rights. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorsey seems to be a wizard at the passing attack. He needs to ask for input from his assistants in the running game. What I just said is being speculative, but I think I could be right.

I only seen a tight tv screen (even on the replay) but it seems Devin missed a block that caused JAs "fumble" on the Bills 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelius Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I don’t understand why Moss doesn’t get goal line attempts. McD even said before the game that our backs “all have slightly different strengths” but it looks to me like we just have 3 dressed backs that we use in exactly the same way.
