Apologize to our running game

[reddogblitz]

The reason the run game is now working is cuz we're actually handing the football off to RBs.  Up until the last few weeks it's rot been that we couldn't run the Football; we just chose not to.  Now we are choosing to and its working.  Cook's gonna break some big ones if this keeps up.

You know who you are. 

 

1636 rushing yards on the season. Over 5 ypc. 

 

Cook and Singletary over 100 yards this week despite offensive line issues and against a good run D.

 

The roster isn't even built for this. 

 

Josh is a stud who carries us lots but our running game has taken a lot of flak undeservedly this year. It's legit and it's time we recognized that fact. They deserve a game ball. 

 

 

Someone woke Dorsey up and noted that opposing defenses are playing a 2 Deep cover/ shell against the Bills. A pro team should be able to run against that.

 

Removing carries from Moss who was not effective and giving them to Cook who is flashing now was addition by subtraction.

 

The balance is helping.

I wasn't critical of the run game per se. I was critical of the, seeming, aversion to it even when it was working well, or when situational football called for it.

 

Saying that, I was happy to see Dorsey use it last night to take pressure off of Allen. We saw a more balanced attack last night, and we'll need more of that in January.

oh stop. this is just as bad as the edmunds post. We slam our team when they play bad and praise the heck out of our team when we play good. to many "you must eat crow" or "i told you so" threads with people beating their chest while they posting it.

 

Congrats Buffalo. you got your running game going. Lets see what happens when we play against real teams.

To me there is nothing more satisfying than running the ball down Belichicks throat. I think the Bills coaches feel the same way.

Betcha it goes back in the closet next week.

I loathe Dorsey of late.
PP struggles , make the run game go. and the flares dumps screens all those nifty things to help Josh

[Airseven]

I swear the most gratifying play on that beautiful TD drive after falling behind 7-10 was the 3rd & 1 up the middle for 2.

They are not always well designed IMO, as if Ken uses the run if Josh is struggling to pull the rabbits out of his hat.
Run game etc,  as mentioned above should be a focus, and then the big plays will come

Are you really arguing that the running game is good by saying that 2 guys together got over 100 yards? Yeah, argument lost there. 

They're like fifth in rush offense

Patriots were without their stud DT and Judon is a liability on the edge.

In reality they are "built for this".

 

They have assembled an OL of primarily run blocking specialists and they have invested 3 day two draft picks into RB's......then traded one of them and another pick for an upgrade.........and their QB is a great runner.

 

What they aren't built for is for a QB to sit in the shotgun running a spread offense and dissect a defense thru the air.     They can't pass block for sh*t and aside from Diggs their WR/TE group isn't very easy to complete passes to.

That’s not the point. I was simply stating the OP was trying to argue that the run game was good last night because between 2 players they rushed for over 100 yards. It’s comical. 
 

not to mention the argument that you are trying to make about them being 5th in rushing. Especially when your leading rusher is your QB. Some of those are designed but the majority is when he plays hero ball and creates something when nothing is there and everything breaks down. Hardly an impressive running game.

Apologize to the fans who stayed loyal with 4 superbow losses and a crap organization for years.

Another fun fact: Bills are the only team with 100+ yards rushing per game.

[Billsfan1972]

Whoa......  117 yards on 27 carries is not something  to crow on and on about.   It was good yesterday, but still under 5 yards a carry.  

 

Still were a lot of 2nd and 8's or 9's and third and 3.   

 

JA did the heavy lifting.

Holy crap man you are so negative. Are you really trying to be the smart guy that points out all the flaws to sound smart? You’re like the intellectual turd that gets put in his place in Good Will Hunting. How do you like them apples?

let’s hope. I expected a Ekeler type

guy. Catch a 3-yarder, juke, and get 10. Stevenson for the Pats was more

elusive in the open field.

Stevenson is not a rookie

Great for Allen. The leading rusher of this terrible rushing offense. 

[NewEra]

I apologize to Dorsey-  I was losing all hope in him.  I’m a big supporter of the run game.  We have very capable backs.  Let them carry some load and open up the pass game.
