NE, ran inside and outside vs Buffalo, even when Buffalo, with 9-10 man fronts , knew NE was going to run.
Kellan, it’s not always about speed when running outside! You need well designed plays, and players executing their blocks. Watching NE’s runs outside: they often designed plays where their blockers had 2 on 1 blocks, or really good angles to make their blocks.
After watching NE beat Buffalo, while only throwing 3 passes, this should demonstrate to any knowledgeable fan how important coaching is! Belicheat was masterful in this game.
If our HC and Coordinators step, with the talent we have, and the talent we have coming back, we should make a serious run to the Super Bowl this year!
1. Remove the 75 yard run and the 22 yard run and NE averaged 3.2 ypc. It wasn’t NE’s rushing attack that won the game, it was the Bills total ineptness in the Red Zone.
2.3.2 is pretty pathetic, but as you said, the Bills knew they were going to run every play.
2. It was not a ‘genius game plan’. With that said, they won, which is all that matters.
