bills6969 Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Allen must’ve had at least 6 or 7 designed QB runs today. This is asinine. You don’t need your franchise QB taking big hits on stupid QB sneaks. We saw what happened to Moss. Guys jumping on top of you, you can easily snap your leg, tear ligament, get concussed. So stupid to call these plays unless we are in deep desperation mode. You don’t see KC letting Mahomes run free and take those hits. 3 2 1
BuffBillsForLife Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 This, we should never be running them outside of the opponent's 10 yard line. 2
TonyBeets Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Yup, I think it's been said about 100 times the last half hour alone here on TBD. Just stop the designed runs.
bigduke6 Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) i dont disagree, mainly due to possible injury, but our running game was non existent and the line wasnt holding up well in pass protect either. little curious y we didnt use any type of screen game to slow down their pass rush tho instead of the QB runs.

Bronxbomber21 Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 That 3rd and 2 QB sweep NEVER works throw the ball and after that Singletary 1st down run it was set up for a rb screen with the house coming
Malazan Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I don't think they need to stop, but calling two designed runs back to back is asinine and overall they were called way too often. The two Moss runs back to back was stupid as well. 1

You protect him in the regular season but now is the time to let all the dogs out. I didn't love all of it within the context of this particular game, but not because I was worried about Allen getting hurt 7
Yard Monkey Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Indy has a really good run defense. Called runs were one of the key advantages Buffalo has. Go with all advantages in the playoffs 1
Nextmanup Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 They didn't work well today, but I disagree. Josh running is one of the most dangerous components of the offense, and there is really no data to support the assertion that a QB running is more likely to be hurt. 3
Baba Booey Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I thought Daboll didn’t have a very good game today. The designed QB runs were awful!!! At one point he call two in a row. He hasn’t done it all year. Why now??? 1
somnus00 Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I think Diggs and Beasley are both gutting it out on the field. They're playing hurt. That's why the roster moves with Duke, and Stills. And this might be why Josh was running so much out there. Not saying I agree. I was just as pissed off as the rest of you.
djp14150 Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I don’t have issue with Josh running such as 1 surprise keeper on passing doen 2 roll out run 3 short yardage plays like near end zone or short yardage. 4 RPO and option plays based on defense. in the defense I think they saw something and wanted to exploit it
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I have to agree. The play calling in the first half, for the most part, was really bad. Too much hero ball by Allen.
MJS Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Pull out all the stops for playoff games. Some of Allen's runs were critical. I do think they went to the well a couple of times too many, though. But I have never had issue with Allen running. It is part of his game.
whorlnut Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I would rather see Allen run than our running backs at this point. Totally disagree with the OP...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Especially the QB sweeps. I don't mind sprinkling in the empty set QB draws but I hate those damn sweeps. I prefer to see Allen run on boken passing plays. Pick up the easy 4-6 yards on 2nd and 10 and don't get hit. 1
Frat-Train Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Yea, this isn’t Sparta! We don’t need that kind of madness!!! 1

It might have something to do with the Colts D line being up in Josh's face all game long. 1
