They have used him on plenty of designed runs.  Guessing we didn’t see those today because he’s been hurting a bit.

 

Yes but a lot of his biggest rushes are when the DL isn't disciplined which allows him to scramble for a bunch of yards. He's been a magician at somehow escaping sacks and sprinting down the field for chunk yardage. He had 2 consecutive games of 170+ rushing yards. Like I came into this game expecting him to rip off a couple big runs and knew the defense would have to live with it. Instead we gave him nothing. It's really impressive.

As a Bills fan I will take the win but this Bills team has a good record but doesn’t seem as good offensively as last season. Part of it is the Josh Allen elbow injury part of it is losing OC Brian Daboll to the New York Giants. Ken Dorsey offense is just a little bit off with Josh Allen. I had another issue with Sean McDermott not using the timeouts at the end of the second quarter to force a potential punt deep in the Chicago Bears own end of the field. Also the lack of targets to Stefon Diggs is bizarre but Sean McDermott is bizarre who just keeps padding his bank account.
 

BSF you are bizarre because you are always knocking Sean McDermott calling him a bum why can’t you say Sean McDermott is great and wonderful? I will say that about “Mr 13 seconds “ Sean McDermott when he actually wins a Super Bowl for Buffalo. BSF you are also too hard on wonderful Terry Pegula? See Sean McDermott when Terry Pegula wins something more than his bank account like a actual championship of any kind for Buffalo. Buffalo Bills, Sabres or even Buffalo Bandits then I will give Terry Pegula praise. Until then Terry Pegula is a no good greedy bum who can’t win the big one. “Howard Hughes” like Terry Pegula to me until the bum win something anything he can’t win a Bandits lacrosse championship he is a bum owner.
 

Yes the Buffalo Bills won today but Sean McDermott is flawed as a head coach we will see if he gets past the Kansas City Chiefs at home in Buffalo. I am not expecting it more likely Sean McDermott will mess it up somehow in the end along with that bum Terry Pegula. The whole Bills football show is over the minute QB Josh Allen gets fed up waiting to win a Super Bowl with the cheap eccentric owner Terry Pegula and incompetent head coach Sean McDermott there both bums until they actually win a championship for Buffalo no excuses in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

I just don't see Cook being the starter this season. That's my point. He's a rookie, still makes mistakes, isn't as reliable as Motor, and his rapport with Allen is ongoing. With the Bills in win now mode with upcoming crucial games it's no time to change. It's not like Motor is playing poorly. 

I agree that Allen and Cook are still working on their chemistry. On the second INT that was a bad throw (Allen said the wind took it) Cook didn’t even expect to get the ball. He’s running a route but doesn’t even raise his hands up to attempt a catch. Maybe he could have prevented the pick, it wasn’t that high over him.

 

They just don’t seem to be 100% on the same page with those safety valve RB outlets. I rarely see the same issues with Singletary (although he’ll drop the occasional dump off). Hopefully something to improve on for next season when Singletary might be gone.

How about Mr Epenesa getting sack #6.5?

Takeaways:

 

Josh Allen loves to play hero ball against teams he thinks he is better against and he did it again today. I'm not sure if he does it to test his arm, but you can tell when there are zero fox given about playing it safe. 

 

I think this is accurate. When we are playing weak opponents, he is always looking to hit home runs. It’s almost too boring for josh and the bills to take the easy stuff against these bad defenses.  

[Doc Brown]

Okay Carr.  One more pick and we won't have to hear about Allen tied for the league lead in INT's.  Don't let me down.

It is heartening that the draft class is turning around.  Both Elam and Cook are coming along and will help this team in the Post Season.  Go Bills!

 

 I 100% agree.

 

 GO BILLS!!

Probably between $6M-$7M/yr I would guess. (3yr $18M)

 

I think between Singletary and Cook we have a very nice RBBC and I think Hines is more than capable to fill in occasionally as RB3 while also doubling as our STs guy.

 

I think RBBC is absolutely the way to go in todays NFL. You want a more consistent running attack? Build a behemoth of an OL.

 

RD1 has to be either WR or OL imo.

Not to mention the fact that it really is showing you can find running backs anywhere Kansas City found that guy they’re using right now and the seventh round

I see no reason why we shouldn’t try that stuff.  It puts more things on film for our better opponents to think about, and it’s less risky because we know we’re good enough to win anyway.

So here's a crazy thought... maybe....

 

Are the Bills a better running team when VanRoten is playing?  Played all game and ran the best they have all season.  Last week played in the 4th quarter when ran real well too.

Could it be that we are a better running team whenever Bates is playing center?

[Nitro]

Observations from Field level.  Allen was not stepping into throws.  Poor technique led to turnovers.  Poor ball control by runners and receivers.  Chronic holding.  Overall a very sloppy game from the offense.  On defense only thing of note is that White is not quite up to speed.  He should be by playoffs.  Burrow and the Bengals WRs will target him.  A good win but this team makes too many mistakes.   Teams like KC or Cincinnati will make them pay dearly.

Maybe except Bates didn't play last week and they ran well when VanRoten moved over to center.

 

So could ask are they a better running team when Morse isn't playing center??   But most accounts feel Morse has been the best lineman all season??

Even in his too fat state, Dockins is still our best lineman

Just imagine being a Bears fan for those complaining right now.

It’s the same thing here every week - we make mistakes while other “great” teams don’t. 
 

I had the Chiefs game on at the same time as the Bills and the Chiefs went quarters without doing anything on offense. At one point I think they had 3 three and outs. 
 

And the Bengals almost blew a lead vs the crappy Pats.
