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. It’s the playoffs... every play is on the table. Yeah I agree with you but it gives us the advantage. Gotta do whatever to win 1
Heitz Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Hard telling, not knowing what the actual play call was. Yes, I felt Josh ran too much, but did Dabs call that? Did Josh? And, btw, we won and Allen also threw for over 300 yards, sooooo...

Oh so easy to say what they shouldn't do while failing to say what they should do in its place. Standing by for your suggestion.
boater Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Memo to the thread: If you didn't notice, we were in desperation mode. We won in the closing seconds, defeating a hail mary. Point being, it was the kind of game where you use all the tools in your box. Allen running is one of those tools. Without Allen's runs our season would be over today.

Said this in the other thread. The Colts were ripe for the screen game. I wonder how much say JA has on the play calling . He had some dump offs that he could have taken but he has that Gunslinger mentality. They need to utilize the backs in space more. Not as a staple but more than they seem to.
GunnerBill Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 There were too many today for sure. My general view is to differentiate between the QB sweep (which needs to go) and the QB draw, which when used correctly is an effective weapon. 5 minutes ago, Buffalo Boy said: Said this in the other thread.

I thought those, more than the running back screens, were the play. The Colts were crowding the middle of the line. The receiver screens attacking the edges were the play IMO. 1
Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 Just show more conviction. If you want to run it Daboll, line up and give the ball to Singletary. Allen has the nose for the end zone, but I agree with others, the Bills are best running 4-wides and gunning and exposing Allen to hits and fumbles is not smart in the Playoffs, this isn’t Denver. When they got away from that the offense stalled out.

DuckyBoys Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 They need to figure out how to run more effectively with the backs in general Find a rb that can get you 1 yard on 2nd or 3rd and 1 Its amazing just how poor they have been this year at converting those 1

It’s hard to believe that Singletary suddenly sucks this year. Not sure what the deal is but I would like to see a better back ,next year , find his way onto the squad.
US Egg Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 Effing Josh Allen !!!! Running around getting positive yards. Bills don't need that.

It might have something to do with the Colts D line being up in Josh's face all game long. He also took a good helmet to helmet hit. Too many designed runs the qb sweep was just stupid risk & didn’t work. 52 minutes ago, boater said: Memo to the thread: If you didn't notice, we were in desperation mode.

No_Matter_What Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 I think we had this same exact thread after first game of the season against Jets. It stopped against Miami. I guess it is just Daboll trolling everybody and we get back to normal next week.

Comebackkid Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 I like it when it's a.... Take whats there and exploit a hole. The called runs im totally against for the most part because these are being defended better and I feel more risk of something bad happening

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. The difference is KC has an actual RB to hand the ball off to who can reliably gain yards. Not very sure we have anything close to that. I do wonder what their plans are for next season to fix this? Are our lineman just real good at pass blocking, but not good at run blocking. Tough at least 3 of our starters were hear last year and did a decent job at it. I sometimes wonder could it be we run so infrequently that mentally our RB's just aren't mentally ready when they are called on? Not in anyway a good excuse, but often a big difference between an acceptable and reality.
CorkScrewHill Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 Wolford for the Rams .. the maddening thing was they were moving the ball through the air .. yet kept running. Rumor has it Daboll called a QB draw in the postgame interview.
Logic Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 No, they don't. Until the Bills prove they can actually run the ball with their running backs, Allen is about all they've got. Besides, you don't just consciously choose NOT TO USE a weapon as lethal as Allen's running ability.
