    It'll be a miracle if we don't get massacred. 

     

    Josh is going to have to have his game of the season to win this now. I hope he just takes off running every time there's nothing open. To hell with staying behind the line of scrimmage, looking for a deep pass and risking a sack, just take off and try and get those first downs.

    This game may provide glimpse into what life will be like in a few years when Josh Allen contract kicks in and we can't afford to keep everyone. These are the type of games and situations to show Josh is worth the huge contract down the line which of course I feel like he is

    He’s 2-7 overall, the wins count but they were also in the one year NE sucked.
     

    More importantly if we go 0-2 vs them in a year where we desperately needed to just split while we have the better QB would be an atrocity. 

    Pats beat the Bills for 20 years when the Bills sucked and the Pats never had to say sorry so neither do we.

  3. All I know is going forward I don't want to hear about whatever success the Bills had in 2020 is negated because of covid and no fans in the stadium because it seems like covid has had more an effect this season in the league than last around the league.

     

    This is why it was so important to stack wins early in the season before it got really crazy. That lost to Jacksonville might seal our fate this year though I think if we win the next 2 games we should be fine

    After 5 of the Bills 6 losses this year the team who beat them has lost the following week. Most recently, in convincing fashion, the Patriots and Bucaneers lost, while being atrocious on Run defense and on offense in general, respectively.

     

    That being said, have the Bills become such a massive game for opponents that they're so drained, physically, mentally, and emotionally, that they can hardly compete the following week!? 

     

    The only team that won the following week was the Titans at full strength who were a load for any team that faced them.

    I totally agree. Case in point.

     

    • Right after the Pats beat the Titans Bill Bellicheat was asked if his team has finally arrived and his response was " ask me after next week" ( which was the Bills game)
    • Tom Brady before playing the BILLS. I had this game circled on the calendar.
    • Look at the joy and most importantly relief Vrabel showed after the Titans beat the Bills
    • Listen to what Josh Allen (lb) said after the Jags beat the Bills. He said it was like the Bills wasn't even trying out there and we took that personnel.

    You really need to be able to attack an opponent in a variety of ways.  You need to be unpredictable.

     

    You want your team to give opposing DC's nightmares.  Right now, I think opposing DC's fear Allen - but they don't fear the Bills offense.  

     

    It won't take much.  Shore up the line, get a real #1 back. All of the guys we have right now would be able # 2's.

     

    That was point I was trying to make. Imagine if Allen is Allen plus a run game when needed. How many 3 and 4 and less than 2 are we not converting because of a lack of a consistant run game. Run game does not matter when you are blowing out the Dolphins but it would have made a difference vs the Titans for example. What good was Josh 353 when we couldn't convert a 4th and short to win a close game

    BTW in wins Bills average 129 yards per game rushing and 98 yards rushing in losses. I would bet in those losses Josh Allen was the leading rusher. I dont feel like looking it up know for sure.

    This doesn't mean rushing = winning because it is somehow a superior strategy to passing.

     

    It means that when teams go into the lead, they rush a lot, to kill clock.


    So when you are winning, you rush.

     

    When you are losing, you probably don't run so much.

     

    Don't get too caught up in the idea rushing = we will win.

     

     

     

    I dont think that at all. I dont want to be the Ravens I just want to be able to run the ball when the situation dictates it. I just thought it was a interesting stat and I just feel that with Josh Allen arm talent and mobility to pair just a respectable running game would help alot in the close losses especially this year. Case in point our last game vs Tampa Bay. Josh ran for a lot but those runs by singletary really helped with those corner blitzes and pressures that Tampa ran to help us get back into the game.

     

    I just feel like a run game would make us unstoppable.

    You don’t need to lead the league in rushing but having the threat of a run is important and that only comes with competence.  
     

    We’re seeing what happens in Buffalo and KC when a high-powered offense can’t run the football.  Teams play Cover 2 and drop men into coverage.  Teams either need a QB with pinpoint accuracy on short passes or a running game to take advantage of a weak box.

     

    The Bills have neither and also a poor OL to boot.  
     

    This is a huge reason why the Bills offense has struggled so much.  

     I agree we definitely we dont need to lead the league in rushing but to have a balanced run game to keep defenses honest is the key

  8. Ive been having some thoughts for a little time about the Bills run game and how it correlates wins and after watching the Chargers lose a game where they clearly out rushed KC and in my opinion should have won the game I finally decided to research it a little further since I had some time on my hands to see what the Bills record is when we out-rush the opponent and visa versa.

     

    So since the start of the 2019 season Josh Allen and the Bills are 24-3 when they out rush their opponent for the game and 6-12 when the opponent out-rushes the Bills for the game.

     

    The Bills only loses since 2019 when they have out rushed their opponent and still lost is that time was against New England in 2019 when Josh Allen got knocked out of the game, and the Pitt game, and TampaBay game where we lost in OT.

     

    So basically we are a injury( New England) /blocked punt (Pittsburgh)/ and a OT loss ( Tampa) away of being undefeated since 2019 when the Bills as a whole rushes for more yards than their opponent.

     

    Especially for the way teams want to play us now I think upgrading the guard positions to help us to stay balanced when needed in the run game will get us to the Superbowl no doubt in the near future. Also on the defense figure out a way to get another run stuffing DT or 2

     

    In the meantime, Lets get in the playoffs this year and get to the Superbowl. Just saying!

    kudos for self-awareness I suppose?

     

    Naw not even close, not get out your feelings cause you always sound stupid in this fourm. You bring no value to the discussion what so ever

    it’s the same line and RB as last year. Allen’s regressed significantly and owes us a helluva a late season run to live up to that 43 million dollars coming to him after not being able pull out a win in 4 close games now this season. 
     

    You want to be paid like the second best player in the league, then play like it too.

     

    It’s so Buffalo to set low expectations and be happy with it. 

     

    Some people like this post love to just talk out of their A hole. Just post dumb stuff and sees what sticks

  11. McDermott even was out of character when he spoke out against Bellicheat after the game saying quote: Let's not give more credit than we need to give Bill Belichick in this one. Bellichick has always shown McDermott more respect than any other opposing coach Ive ever seen him show.

     

    To me this all adds up to McDermott feeling embarrassed on NATIONAL TV in the worst possible way. Being out physically. Basically Bellicheat took McDermott/Beane defense and made it his B word.

    Golliday wasn’t available I don’t think when they traded for Diggs. And yes I thought keeping the picks and drafting Jefferson was the better long term move. Diggs was really good last year. He’s been mediocre this year. Would liked to have had the extra picks. But maybe would not have made a difference with Beane’s drafting prowess. 

    No one had any idea that Jefferson would become a beast especially right off the bat. Revisionist history if you ask me.

    I thought when the Diggs trade happened the Bills would have been better served to keep the picks and draft Jefferson. Diggs was great last year. But long term, Jefferson and the picks still seems like the better move. Maybe with the picks Beane could have moved up this year and grabbed an every down back like Najee Harris. Beane is exalted by Bills fans, but the moves for Diggs, Edmunds, Ford, etc. have cost the team dearly. 

    Stop lying. Left up to you would have gotten Golliday instead of Diggs. Only thing you mentioned about Jefferson was he should be consideration for the Bills with the 1st round pick since he ran a good 40 time.
