If the Bills do this to us, we HAVE to run the ball. As I look at this game's matchups I see no world in which we win with Mixon getting 11 carries for 39 yards. (3.5 YPC). Playing the Ravens twice before I think helped Burrow more than it hurt. Burrow is known to do very well against teams hes seen before. I dont want to say this is why we won, but its a part. We only have 1 quarter of Bills tape and I dont see us jumping them like we did at Paycor again.
Theoretically a team should not be able to park 2 safeties deep for that many plays. Theoretically, you should get them out of that defense after a few decent gains on the ground. But if those gains never come we get what we saw Sunday. Zac and Callahan are pass game aces, but we are gonna need them to be a complete offensive coaches on Sunday. Im talkin jet sweeps, runs from shotgun, HB screens EVERYTHING. We absolutely need the run game to put in 70+ yards this Sunday. We cannot allow the Bills to comfortably sit their 2 safeties back all game. We cant ask Burrow to be the whole offense. Guys gotta step up.
That OL couldn't get any push whatsoever or holes for any type of running game, its been an issue all year with some success in between. We are ranked dead last I believe in the run game or close to it. Will we have an answer now especially with only 2 starters on the OL? I doubt it..the OL has once again become our achilles heel and the lack of run game shows for it. the team ran for a total of 51 yards at 2.8 a carry.
I agree with you the run game needs to be a prt of the plan, but do you really think with the players we have we can be successful in the post season? I do not...
