JerseyBills Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) Just heard this on gmfb Allen is a huge reason for that but with this Motor/Cook combo and the way they complement each other, that balance is crucial for a SB run. They ran down a great rush Ds throat and I only see that combo, with Hines sprinkled in getting better as the year progresses But this is a pretty amazing stat and I think they'll finish the year with 100+ yards per gm. Not sure if that has ever been done before Edited December 2, 2022 by JerseyBills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Lots of QBs run with the ball...Hurts with the Eagles, Jackson with the Ravens, Fields with the Bears, Mariota with the Falcons... people want to keep discounting the fact that we can run the ball when if we want to. The problem wasn't that we couldn't, it's always been that we haven't always wanted to, especially in the first half of seasons with Allen. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushypeaches Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Wait - I thought we were terrible at running the ball, our OL is trash, our RB are slow, and our new coordinator is clueless? 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that has ever been done before Many individual players have finished the year with more than 100 yards per game by themselves. OJ Simpson, Derrick Henry, Eric Dickerson, etc. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being that it's only 12 games in and 11 games for other teams, it's probably not a common thing at all. I'm going to try to see if any team has done it for a season when I get a chance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now people will complain because we are "only" putting up 360 yards of offense since we run the ball more. Just can't win. If we went for 600 yards every game with 300 yards passing and 300 yards rushing and scored 50+ points people would find something to complain about.

I wonder how Barry would look running into those 6 man boxes and 2 deep zones that the Bills face every week? Instead of the 10 guys and specific game plan designed around stopping him. Just musing… Edited December 4, 2022 by vincec 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co_springs_billsfan Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) Interesting to note, but in the grand scheme it's nothing special. The record is 43 games held by two teams: https://www.nfl.com/news/ravens-streak-of-100-yard-rushing-games-comes-to-end-in-thrilling-ot-win Edited December 4, 2022 by co_springs_billsfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) Bills running game is always going to be interesting because everyone knows that come postseason, Allen will be unleashed. Can’t do that week in, week out, in the regular season - hence the need to develop a reliable running game - but come playoff time Allen draws, Allen designed sweeps, Allen quicker to scramble etc.. Will be interesting to see if there’s less of that if we can reliably get 5 ypc out of our backs. Edited December 4, 2022 by SCBills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
