What is this thread? The Bills are a PASSING TEAM. Have been all year. The only GnP team that I can even think of is Tennessee.

I never said ground and pound identity teams win championships. The point is that teams need to be able to run the ball period. Buffalo hasn’t done it all year and it cost them today.

Ah, ok. I thought you were one of those "panthers north" guys who think they're just like us ... or whatever insanity they spew.

Joe Mixon just rushed 20 for 105 yards in the same game. 
 

Tell me I’m wrong with some substance. 

He was running against Buffalo’s defense. The Bengals defense tightens up in the playoffs. They did it last year too.

Nah, even the Bills haven’t outmediocred us as of late. We are our own breed.

That Buffalo defense was a shell of what it started the year with but even that being said, they were able to run the football when it counted.

My point was the Bills RBs were having trouble running against the Bengals defense. I don’t know how much CMC changes that.

My point is that they’ve had trouble with running all season. Their run game is abysmal and Allen and Diggs have bailed out their offense all year. 
 

I think CMC would change a hell of a lot but that wasn’t my main thesis for discussion.

lol damage control 

 

“ignore what happened today, the thing I want to be true is still true”

What’s not true about the Bills run game being abysmal? 
 

Reading comprehension is a lost art in this place.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
