NastyNateSoldiers Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I’ve been a fan of this team for over 35yrs I’ve never seen such bad running backs . This team is to Josh centric and it will never stop until we get a primo back. Having a a great back will make this team unstoppable and would relive pressure off Josh the Oline & Wrs . People will say Singletary is good enough but he’s not . He doesn’t have the skill set to make defenses pay for playing 2 high safeties with 6 man boxes he’s also not strong enough to get the tough yards and last but not least he’s definitely not good enough to have the faith in the coaches to truly be a featured back. The proof is in the pudding so to speak. Some want to jump to conclusions and blame the Oline but Singletary doesn’t have the speed to consistently challenge the outside and break off long runs defenses know this since he’s limited his running lanes are funneled to between the tackles and it’s makes it very hard for the Oline to open holes when the defense know where he’s running. Sorry fellas we ain’t getting it done this yr I feel sorry for Josh the kind of pressure they put on him to be a star on every play it’s unmatched in this leagues history. Even Brady and Peyton had great backs for the majority of there careers . They didn’t have to be the everything on there offenses they had balance . 1 1 3 4 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Riddle me this…why do the Bills run effectively to the outside but can’t between the tackles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillMafia716ix Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Singletary is more than capable. Always has been. We just refuse to have any balance in our offense. For 3 years now…it’s been the same story “the bills don’t run the ball.” But they have a RB who gets 4-5 yards a pop. 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPT Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) The last team to win a Super Bowl with an "elite" RB was 8 years ago (Marshawn Lynch). Elite QBs are the only thing you absolutely need to win a Super Bowl. Any other offensive position is just a luxury. Edit: And you need good defense or one that happens to match up well against your playoff opponents.

McBean Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 This team has a coaching problem, not a fkn RB problem. Nobody is telling KC or Miami to run more. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 yes, recent SBs winners going back a dozen years or so have been filthy with "elite RBs" lol come on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 6 carries and 2 TD's in the first quarter and you just stop running the football because he has 2 or 3 carries that aren't big runs? Henry had 19 carries for 53 yards. Guess the Titans should bench him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionallyUnstable Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 There are a ton of reasons the Bills are in a funk. Talent at RB is certainly not one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I have no clue why Duke Johnson is on the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that contributed to Johnson getting carries but it would make sense. Well, it still wouldn't make sense because we have Cook and Hines but that might be the reason they used Johnson.

Why is he on the field. In that 4th and 2 play he’s running a route out of the backfield, why ain’t that Hines or Cook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your getting lost in the stats when u take a closer look nobody sees more light boxes then Singletary for last 3 yrs he should be much better and he’s horrible in short yardage situations which stops drives. The reason they don’t feature him is because he’s not good enough plain and simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really just pointing out ***** that doesn’t make sense to me. A lot of reasons why we lost. It’s was definitely a team effort to lose in that fashion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanahan's Horseshoe Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 A great RB didn’t lead us to a 17 point 3rd quarter lead today. Were we the best team in the NFL last year with 13 seconds left and the same stable of RB’s? Would a better RB be nice? Sure, but this team isn’t built on the running game or even offensive balance. I think a better HC would matter more personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
