Bills only team in NFL with 100+ rush yards in every game this season


JerseyBills

Recommended Posts

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

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.

Many individual players have finished the year with more than 100 yards per game by themselves. OJ Simpson, Derrick Henry, Eric Dickerson, etc.

I think he meant to say every game vs per game. I believe Barry Sanders has the record for most 100 yard games in a season, but it wasn’t every game.

Yea exactly, 100 everygame. 

 

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

Wait - I thought we were terrible at running the ball, our OL is trash, our RB are slow, and our new coordinator is clueless?

 

 

 

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.

There's always the defense 😁

“people want to keep discounting”

 

I’d say all the hosts of WGR 550 are chief among those people.

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…

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.

I suspect he’d look damn good.

I wish we incorporated a few jet sweeps into our ground game.

That was the general consensus by the Mafia here . I think they just give up on it way to easy instead of letting them get into a rhythm of the game . It's not like they don't have the talent ...

that’s an average, not necessarily getting 100 per, every game.

Take Allen out of the equation and that all looks pretty true.  The one nice thing I’ve seen of late, when the RBs touch the ball, they seem to be ripping some pretty big chunks.

Crazy stat for a team not k own for its running attack...Allen aside. 


But Allen isn’t aside. He has nearly identical rushing yards to Singletary. He’s been the leading rusher in half their games. And the Bills don’t have a RB with a 100-yard game.

 

The stat is due to Allen.

I'm guessing a bunch of teams have, the NFL is now a passing league but was a running league for alot of years.

Exactly what I'm saying. Maybe I didn't say it right lol.  It yeah I was basically saying. The run game isn't very great without Allen. Although this take hasn't aged well over the last couple of weeks. Cool is cooking it seems!! Go bills.

Wanted to bump this. The streak continues,  barely , with Buf rushing for 102 yards. 

 

And regardless if its Allen or not, it's still a pretty great accomplishment considering we're the only team who has done it.

 

It's funny that Lamar doesn't get the same treatment when he's out rushing his RBs.

254 today...Cook was 1 yard from the Bills having both backs go over the 100 yard mark after no Bills back went over it for 15 games.

 

My first live Bills game was Fred Jackson's first 100 yard game while Lynch also went for 100, so I was pulling for Cook to get that last yard.

And Josh has beaten another NFL franchise!

 

Colts

Bucs

Eagles

Cardinals

 

 I believe are the only teams left that he hasn’t beaten. There was a thread on it but I can’t find it!

 

 

Josh beat the Colts in the wild card game two years ago.  His 96 yard drive in the last two minutes of the 1st half was legendary.  The game was very exciting if you recall w Poyer recovering a fumble late.  But the refs blew the call and gave the Colts the ball back for a couple more plays.

Yup...Philip Rivers was dicing us up that game.
