Ground and Pound

I’ll try to spell this out for you one last time since you don’t seem to be getting it.
 

I don’t expect them to run because they haven’t done it well all year. They’ve been great through the air. And when the weather was piss poor and it made sense to run they couldn’t because they sucked at it.

 

They kept the game close until the 3rd quarter and then lost what could have been a much more favorable game in which Allen would have been able to throw the ball downfield and let Diggs and Beasley feast. 

 

Moral of the story: 

Many say we need a high octane passing offense and crap on the notion of ground and pound football and defense winning championships. The Bengals capitalized by playing physical on defense AND on the offense by incorporating the run game for over 100 yards by ONE player on the ground for roughly the same amount of carries the Bills had by ALL of their offense combined.

 

I can’t hold anyone’s hand on this anymore so if you don’t get the point after this, good luck. 

No, I get that you are having a nonsensical hissy fit. 

I mean, we all get this. I think that is why you are getting the reaction that you are from basically everyone.

Hey if you switch the entire rosters the Bills probably win this one. 

Also if helps if you can run and pass on offense.

El Oh el.
 

It’s literally you and one other guy. I’m not even counting the usual couple of suspects because they look for my posts to derail them simply for the spite of it based on political differences.

Read what you want my guy. You and I both know that’s not what was said.

CMC would not have saved the Bills today

Burrow is a franchise changer like Brady, Allen is merely a good QB like Phillip Rivers

I dont know about that, I feel like they both are franchise changers and both are amazing QB's. I see where you are coming from but I see Allen just as solid and just as gifted.

There is a little bit of that in your posts though. I know you said that, but simply posting that and then pointing out over and over how if Buffalo had just committed to running they would've won, is very much like saying "No disrespect" before delivering a disrespectful insult. It's not about taking anything away from them, but rather give them the credit they earned today.

My entire point is that Buffalo had no personnel TO run. Not that they failed to commit to the run.

 

These are two entirely different arguments.

But what I am saying, instead, is that the reason why they lost was their defense, that had been exceptional for the season, was unable to get pressure on Burrow. It's especially galling when the Bengals oline was widely considered to be a pile of dog poo going in to the game.

What the fug is all the fighting about? I dont get it? I can see some valid points from almost everyone in this thread but everyone has a slightly different spin which is cool anyhow. Debate amongst fellow fans is good right?

Can’t speak for everyone else. On my end I was clarifying the OP for a few who have a hard time with comprehending anything longer than a 2 sentence thought consisting of words less than 2 syllables. Thought the topic would be essence for valid discussion but a few simpletons felt the need to come in and derail per usual.

I have no problem with that argument. Their defense was a shell of itself, which I already stated earlier in the thread, but I also feel that the lack of a run game was their greatest demise before the post-season even began.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
