From the previous closed thread:
So.... any free agent RBs out there? Or do they just turn to Antonio Williams? I'd really rather not see Yeldon getting 20 snaps next week.
If the Bills intend to run the ball, as I hope they do. I strongly prefer Williams over Yeldon. Williams is a tough runner. I don't care if it was garbage time vs. Miami.
Antonio looked like the most powerful runner we have last week, I feel like inserting him into the lineup could be a total game-changer for us. Yeldon and Taiwan need to stay off the field, give Antonio the handoffs and Motor the passes.
Agreed.
a defeated defense, not a good one. that was like a preseason game at that point. yeah his run was promising but the tony love fest is a bit much, theyve seen him all year in practice, if he was such a world beater they would've elevated him earlier.
I'd be shocked if they practiced hard / aggressively enough to showcase Williams' power / determination.
I would go with Antonio Williams over Yeldon. He runs like a guy with a chip on his shoulder. He was impressive against the Dolphins, abeit, the game was over by then. But I like his upside. It's a good change up from Singletary's style. Moss has been okay as a rookie this year, it's unfortunate he was hurt. But I do think the Bills run game can improve. When the defence is expecting Allen to pass on almost every down, the Bills backs should be ripping off positive carries on a more frequent basis, Williams seems to be a back that can possess this.
Exactly. Plus, the Ravens won't have much film on him, nor experience against him.
Random question Bills fans. Who has read 100 Things Bills Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die? Found it on the shelf of my local used bookstore. Enjoyed the only edition I have read (Red Wings) and generally hear great things about the series. As I was browsing the chapters and the book I noticed no mention of Bills Mafia. Is your legendary fan base and tailgaters covered and I just missed it? Honestly, reading about Bills Mafia would be the primary interest in the book but, alas, Bills Mafia may have been ghosted by the author.
I have the book. Christmas gift from my wife or my cousin a few years ago. Haven't read all of it; been a while since I looked at it. I knew about half the stories in there, from what I recall.
(and)
The book was published in 2012. Bills mafia started in 2011 and didn’t gain steam until after publishing.
Moreover, many long-time fans don't necessarily align with certain game-day antics which are both disproportionately high in media publicity yet disproportionately low in common sense.
Current thread: I don't like the Bills matchup vs. Baltimore at all. I'm most concerned about the Bills run D matchup against Ingram, Dobbins, Jackson. Both the Bills edge contain and their ability to slow/clog the interior to reduce second-level tackles are suspect. Similarly, the Bills can't afford another imbalance in time of possession (~10-minute IND advantage in 1st half; game ended with 8.5-minute IND advantage) from a strong run game and hope the Ravens have a repeat of the Colts' red-zone futility.
I think it will come down to turnovers and points off turnovers.
