This tweet by Dave Hyde says alot about the offense

They did not give Miller the ball enough. Yesterday against the Jets which were #1 against the rush with 77ypg before yesterday Miller rushed for 73 yards on 17 carries for an average of 4.3 yards. These are good numbers.
Against the Bills he was allowed to carry the ball 3 times (!!!!). They gave the ball after that to Thomas who rushed 9 times for 6 yards and then they 'walked away' from the running game.

If you keep on feeding Miller he does get his yards.

Fault: coaches

It was awesome watching Miller for 4,5,6,9 yards yesterday and immediately afterwards ALL passes. Sherman can't leave fast enough for my liking! The man has no sense/feel for the game.

You know what they say: you keep playing the same play until they stop you. Our opponents don't have to stop us. Our coaches do that.

Miller is a typical running back. Starts slow but needs his carries to warm up and if you give him a little hole he zips right through it. He is no Edgerin James or Peterson but he can be a 1000 plus running back. The top running backs rush about 250-300 times per season with an average per carry between 4 and 5 yards. If Lamar would just reach the 250 carries per season he is a 1000 (+) yard rusher. This two-runner philosophy does not work very well. The only time you want to insert another running back is to give your #1 a breather after carrying the ball 20times in a game, he is injured or just had a long run.

I noticed that too, all year long we'd be doing something that was working and they would go to something else, I believe Sherman was outsmarting himself.

I started a thread about this yesterday. The Bills' weakness was their run defense. The Patriots - with Tom Brady, a HOF QB - ran the ball to attack the Bills' weakness. The Dolphins, in a rainstorm with 20 mph winds and a 2nd-year QB, decided to attack the Bills' strength - their pass rush.

And this is precisely the reason this coaching staff needs to fired.

it's hard to argue with a lot of that but we also did jack squat running the ball when we tried vs the bills in that game...theme of the season though has been the oline on offense...run game pass pro did not matter suckage
 
Thad Lewis outplayed Tom Brady too stat-wise. It just shows how much better New England is, has been, and always will be.

I can't tell you how Mind-Boggling it is to watch successful runs only to have Pass-called immediately afterwards. How infuriating it is to see the other teams defense on the ropes and then deciding to help them out by calling a pass. Mind you, not a pass play after gashing them for a few consecutive runs setting up a nice play-action or off-balance pass. But, just passing for the help of it. Nothing, strategic at all! Just doing it to do it.

I was watching the game with the wife and shes like wow that #26 got alot of yards. Why not run it again? They don't look like they can stop him. Wow, why did they pass the ball?

/Afterwards, I cried right their infront of her.

How can you say this when 99% of our running attempts is out of that stupid shot-gun like formation? How can anyone say we don't have a running game when we really haven't tried to commit to the run at all?

have you seen how we run vs 8 in the box fronts in power sets??? short yardage we get owned...team has to spread people out to do anything running the ball which is why we did it so much...again the oline killed this o...that and shermans calls and lack of adjustments to help things

lamar miller finally ran thru some contact yesterday only took week 17 to see it...surprised the hell out of me..still in the first half our run game did nothing..started to make hay later in the game...but we were down too

You mean like the Bengals game when we actually gave a half-ass effort to the run and were gashing them for what 4,5,6 yards per? In that case yes! My point being is that this team was not as inept at running the ball as the stats would indicate.

We didn't give a crap about running the ball. PERIOD!!!

you mean when we went with an extra ot package for a half??? and the bengals were not prepared for it given we never showed it prior and it was a short week for them game prep wise???

i'm the one that called for that package to jump start the run game 3 weeks prior b/t

Call it what you will. My question to you is this? Where was it or any semblance of it against one of the worst ranked run defense in the Bills. Oh BTW, in unfavorable passing weather and against a stout passing rush.

Your telling me against that especially after the first 3 sacks that Passing was still our best chance of winning???

i think with the way the oline played in that game we could have had 100 drives and done nothing with em but get our qb hit more...
