The Bills Offensive Dilemma

[frostbitmic]

If we pass it every play the defense will pin it's ears back. If the defense pins it's ears back, Josh will get killed because the line is abysmal.

 

Quick short passes seem like the only answer, does Daboll have any of those ?

We have no options on offense as far as the run game. Rbs suck & oline sucks just as much st run blocking. Throw a few gadget plays and bubble screens  in there to keep defenses somewhat honest, but at this point it's too late to toughen up or make our RBs anything special

I voted as to the big picture, not as in tomorrow. Being inherently challenged makes the play calling more difficult and critical, but there needs to be some amount of balance. We know what we need to fix for next year, but right now we just need to find a way. 

We knew it after last season ended too. It’s as if they said “screw adding personnel, Daboll can fix this on his own if we add 1 speedy (low IQ, easily injured) RB.

 

I really hope we can build some sort of a run game next year.

We also knew we had to get younger and cheaper on the DL, which we did with the first two picks. We got Spencer Brown in the 3rd. You just can’t do it all at once.  Nobody has infinite resources.

Cant change your style midseason, we dont have the players to be a balanced offense. Air Raid !!

After the game against the New England Patriots, The Bills now face a vexing dilemma. New England proved they were the tougher and more physical team, but Buffalo definitely has more talented players. 

 

Should they do everything they can to get the run game going or should they double down on passing?

 

The conventional wisdom is to be more balanced, after all the team was just dominated physically.

But the Bills lack in areas of run blocking, and the running backs struggle.

 

At the same time the team has unusual depth at wide receiver Josh Allen is young and certainly strong enough to throw as many times as is needed. In addition it's hard to imagine running Zach Moss into a very rugged Buccanneers Dline with Vita Vea in the middle. 

 

The Bills have tried to go pass dominant and have had a checkered success rate. Weather is a factor and running successfully chews up the clock and lets the defense rest. 

 

The Bills gameplan against the Buccanneers will be very interesting. Will the Bills learn the right lesson or the wrong lesson from the Patriots game?

 

 

 

Pass, pass, pass. The rest of the season is basically make or break in regards to the playoffs. Maybe a draw play here & there to keep them honest, but predominantly they need to keep the ball in the hands of their best playmaker as much as they can. There's no point of trying to fix the run game at this  stage of the season. The Bills need to air it out often and help their defense out by scoring points.

 

Running it is 75% of the time is just a wasted down. Especially w/ Zack Moss.

They chose last off season to concentrate on the D-Line. It's understandable.

Throw the ball!   Be true to who we are.

 

If they start trying to build a run game now, we will be in trouble.

 

 

Yes 💯.. I do not wanna see any running plays tomorrow…. Not even 1… If we’re gonna go down let’s go down throwing….

Players unable to catch a ball thrown as hard as Josh can in bad weather is one problem.

 

That's one thing they should practice more.

 

OL coach is another problem to me anyway.
