Buffalo_Stampede Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) They ran it down the throat of a good defense on the road while missing multiple starting OL. It was beautiful. You just don't see that often in this league anymore. Killing 4+ minutes on the ground to end the game. Impressive. It gives me confidence to say this Bills team is different from all the others that started fast. Edited October 7, 2019 by Buffalo_Stampede 18 1
soflabillsfan1 Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Was so nice to see. I'm so used to the Bills not being able to pick up a 1st and having to give the ball back to the other team with 2 mins left. 2
Special K Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Plus, they did it with backups on the OL at the time.? 1
MJS Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 I'd like to see them run it more during the other 56 minutes of the game. I don't think Allen is ready to run a 65% pass vs 35% run offense. 6 1
jletha Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 it was bizarre we were able to rattle off multiple 10+ yard runs in a time when they knew we were running. The only thing they couldnt do was let us get first downs and we werent gonna pass and they just let us do it.

In the past we would have ran the ball three times for 1 yard each and then punted...Not this Bills team. 1
Buffalo Boy Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Three games ago , there were a lot of posters complaining on here about the “ Conservative play calling”. Also, the fact they were using Frank Older than Dirt Gore On said plays. This week , many wanted Singletary rushed back. We have started to show teams they have to honor our rushing attack for its power. They also have to honor our rushing game for its trickiness. A nice situation to be in! AND, Singletary has had a month to rest/ rehab the hammy. 8

I don't think Allen is ready to run a 65% pass vs 35% run offense. I think they will once Singletary comes back, but I also think they are giving Allen every opportunity to run the offense, take his lumps and (hopefully) grow every week. 1 minute ago, jletha said: it was bizarre we were able to rattle off multiple 10+ yard runs in a time when they knew we were running.

And of course, Lee Smith and Knox and mean mofos themselves. 4

Perhaps, but even when Singletary was playing we weren't using him that much. He only has 5 attempts per game. Maybe the thought was to bring him along slowly and increase his workload as the season went on, though.
John from Riverside Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Given that we literally were playing reserves out of position players at 3 different positions on the OL......what they and Gore did was nothing short of special Just took the Titans heart 4

Especially considering they went three and out the drive before with incomplete passes and took less than a minute off the clock. 1
WideNine Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 When the Titans sold out and threw everything but the kitchen sink into every gap on the right side of the line, and Josh seemed surprised for a split second that there was no one to account for him on that bootleg and waltz to the first down keeping the clock rolling....you just saw the last of the compete dribble out of that Titan team. Having been there as a Bills fan so often I have to say it feels so much better being on this side of these games. 1 1

Now if you pull that stuff in the middle 3rd quarter only up 7 points when another score will essentially ice the game (especially with this D) and your coordinator is more concerned with time management instead of scoring then yeah there's a problem and reason to complain. Conservative play has been a topic for argument but luckily it hasn't hurt us. Almost (ie Giants and Bengals)

Conservative play has been a topic for argument but luckily it hasn't hurt us. Almost (ie Giants and Bengals) When you are coaching a Green QB on a rebuilt offense you don’t come out firing on all cylinders. It takes time for all 11 guys to find their groove/ cohesion.

Was it impressive to run out the last 4+ minutes of the game on the ground against a good defense on the road or not? 4 2

Don't let my comments affect you so much.
