John from Riverside Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I don’t worry about Josh Allen you know that he is going to have a huge game next week against Cincinnati going against another top QB in prime time I love this game because of the way they want it all year not being able to run the ball effectively unless Josh Allen was doing it we literally are just a couple of yards away of having 2 100 yard rushers today Past that first drive, our defense almost completely shut them down for the entire game We won a cold-weather game in gritty cold-weather style. We show that we can do it here. We are wanting home games in Buffalo in cold weather climate. You have to be able to run the ball in those games. 11 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I value the Bears game as good practice for playing at home in January. And yes, great to see we can win with the run game and when Josh has a bad game. To win it all we need both the run game working and good Josh. It's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Not quite accurate...both Motor and Cook ran for 80+ yards against the Pats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That weather should’ve leveled the playing field for the bears a bit but they got run out of the building. If we were playing a good team in this they would’ve looked sloppy also most likely.

Bookie Man Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Hopefully this shows Dorsey what this running game can be capable of. Let's get this machine going! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 it was a nice win against a bottom feeder… I said in another thread…Playoff Josh needs to show up again if they want to win the Championship 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Horseheads Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Just wish they would have got Cook one more yard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Just now, Mike in Horseheads said: Just wish they would have got Cook one more yard. I mean, they gave him three carries to get 8 yards, and he got 7 yards on those three carries...I think they gave him the shot to get it, its just too bad that he couldn't get that one extra yard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelius Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Also wasn't worried about Josh Allen against an inferior opponent (clearly yes) in -15 degree weather. This is the trap game that many good teams lose - you're on the road, the elements suck, it doesn't really matter. And they still walked away easily by capitalizing on the run. Josh got that mop-up TD as well, he didn't even suffer that terribly statistically. Up to 4k with 32 passing TDs and the try-hards are still doing their thing lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been able to run the ball effectively this year. There's just hasn't been any volume of carries for the RBs. We came into this game with Singletary and Cook averaging a combined 4.6 ypc, that's being able to run effectively. After today's game they now average 5.008 ypc.

Kmart128 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Im glad we are putting games like this on tape for other teams. Will make others atleast respect the run game a little. Sure it was a bad team but good teams will see that and realize that they cant sell out to play the pass entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleSammy Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I just hope we find a "new way" to improve our kickoff coverage team. Enough of this kick it to the corner stuff. It's not working. Just have Bass kick the damn ball into the endzone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 No idea what happened on that first Bears drive, but the defense deserves props. Fields & that Rushing offense have been gashing teams, and they were throttled by us all game. On offense, Allen was all over the place, but as said above .. not worried about him - he’ll turn it up in the bigger moments - Also, watching some other games, passing offenses in the cold were disastrous all over the country.. errant passes, turnovers, drops etc.. Bears defense isn’t much to write home about, but to run to the level we did against any NFL team is impressive. That was absolute ground assault.

Utah John Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I think the Bills played down to their competition in the first half. They came out of the locker room in the second half and took care of business, then waited for the game to be over. I do not think the level of play we saw yesterday will be continued against the Bengals. The Bills always seem to rise to the occasion.

Bass would drop the KO at the 1, and the Bills would rally to the returner and stop him between the 15 and 20. It happened a lot. It looks like the ST coach for one of their opponents figured out a blocking scheme against how the Bills were covering kicks, and since then they've been gashed over and over. It's time for our ST coach to step up and fix it. Failing that, then yes, kicking it deep is the answer. 13 hours ago, John from Riverside said: I don’t worry about Josh Allen you know that he is going to have a huge game next week against Cincinnati going against another top QB in prime time I love this game because of the way they want it all year not being able to run the ball effectively unless Josh Allen was doing it we literally are just a couple of yards away of having 2 100 yard rushers today Past that first drive, our defense almost completely shut them down for the entire game We won a cold-weather game in gritty cold-weather style.

Cook was one yard away from a 100 yard game, and Allen could have gotten there too if it had made sense for him to try. (Which it didn't.) The Bills did well, but the Bears are really terrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
