Singleterry has two back to back 100 yard games, too 

 

Yeah along with 5 games of 30 or less yards.

Glide as I call him, has been great this year.  It's why I'm pissed he hasn't been utilized more by Dorsey. 

 

The kid is sneaky good.  Doesn't look like he's moving but he continues to pick up chunk yards. 

Ya his vision is getting to be phenomenal

Who's to say he hasn't been being used correctly and that offense finally is clicking because of him now?

Their offense has been good most of the year.  They put up 37 on the Jags earlier this season before we played them.

Cook has alot of speed at the running back position (very noticable how he moves faster than the other backs and is very smooth). We seriously need to feed the man with screens and getting him into space more. Brady made a career out of screens and swing passes to running backs and quick hits to tight ends and a solid receiver. Cooks along with Kincaid and Diggs can do that if schemed well

dude has been great this year.  Getting, under tacklers for extra yards, catching.  His pass pro still worries me.

Another surprise?  

 

The Bills D is now 4th in scoring in the NFL and is allowing fewer points per game and yards per game than the D last year that was ranked 1st or 2nd.

 

Even with all the defensive injuries, this team is still extremely good on D...seems kinda crazy a top 5 scoring D and top 7 scoring O is only 6-5.

 

 

That’s what leading the league in TO’s will do.

Our Offensive and Defensive rankings combined with our team's record are like some sort of terrifying riddle.

This team is almost a statistical impossibility. They are plus 104 in point differential (4th in the league). The combined record of the top 9 teams in point differential outside of the Bills is 59-20.

Not quite as bad as the Chargers back with Rivers and Tomlinson(I believe under Schottenheimer) that were both the #1 Offense and #1 Defense in the NFL in that year and missed the playoffs at 9-7, but in that ballpark.

Can we trade Cook plus a 3rd for Singletary or Moss? I've heard on this board those guys are so good.

KC has just 2 turnovers less than us with two less games played.  They are -4 in turnover differential and are 7-2. 
 

Cleveland has 1 turnover more than us in one less game played,a -5 differential, allow more ppg, score less ppg, and they are 7-3 

 

Miami has 3 turnovers less than us in one less game played and a worse turnover differential also.  We’re sitting at 0 differential 

 

the way people talk about the bills you’d think they have 10 turnovers more than the nearest good team lol

If you look at the numbers James Cook has 697 yards on the year 2nd to only Christian McCaffrey. Crazy because I would've never expected that.

He is very good, behind an O-line that can finally run block a little bit

[Warcodered]

 

We're at peak levels of happy Cook in this you can just feel the joy coming from him. 😭

Imagine what he'd be behind a line that is consistently good at run blocking

Imagine what he must sound like when he’s truly sad about something.

The resurgence of the Bills' running attack has been an unexpected delight over the past few games.

 

The backs seem to be making it past the DL before they are hit. This seems to indicate that our OL is actually opening holes for the backs.

 

Is this correct? If so, why the inprovement in our OL? Scheme? OL jelling?

I think he’s the ideal type lead the back for a Josh allen Lee offense.  Just need to get him more involved in the run game.  His improvement has stood out to my eyes.  
 

funny there was a thread claiming cool can break tackles and has zero physicality.  Psssshhhhhya

That thread was ridiculous then (I think it was posted right after the Jets Monday Night opener), and it is every bit as silly now. Cook has been excellent. He just needs to continue to work on pass pro going forward
