Its OK for the Bills to be a run-first team

[BigAl2526]

I don't mind at all when circumstances indicate the Bills should run the ball.  It would, however, be a serious mistake if the Bills and Brandon Beane in particular don't address in the upcoming offseason the inability of the Bills to get significant production from their wide receivers.

We have four losses, 2 against good teams (Houston & NE), and two against poor teams (Atlanta & Miami). Winning on the ground against the Steelers is hardly a crown and robe for Joe Brady. The defense made this game plan successful by scoring 7, successful rushing the QB and picking off Rudolph. The game plan against Houston was an abomination. Had Brady gone big and run at Houston in the second half, Allen wouldn’t have had -71 yards in losses. But he is poor at making in game adjustments. A run first approach will help cover our poor passing game during the rest of the season but historically it doesn’t win deep into the playoffs. Baltimore lost in the Divisional Round in 2020, the Wild Card Round in 2021, the Wild Card Round in 2022, the Conference Championship in 2023, and the Divisional Round in 2024. During those years they ranked 2nd, 4th, 8th, 14th and 5th in rushing. Note in ‘23 they had their lowest rank but they went the farthest. The Steelers game was a product of a situation. A Poor opponent who turned over the ball. Our defense will need to continue its improved play into the playoffs, or our own ball control will beat us. Only we can snuff out Josh Allen.
