Spiller never hit the hole with conviction

That's what I'm seeing in Singletary, which is why I drew the parallel

Tough to “hit the hole” with conviction when the line is doing a sh!tty job opening them up though

Singletary did show last year that he can be a productive runner in the nfl
Just need better play from our O Line

Bill's are limping along with their injuries ...get Brown and Ford back, now with Felliciano returning...look out.

Add in a trade for the Dline, with Edmund's and Milano healing up...good news for the 2nd half of the season.

You’re not wrong,
but every team deals with injuries

Small sample size of him actually being effective though

This isn’t “my” opinion that the run blocking sucks,
we are ranked at the bottom

The Oline has not helped.
Get F & F back on the Oline along with Brown and Knox to occupy defensive assignments...look out.

I agree Singletary hasn’t hit the holes hard,
but it seems like he’s hesitant bc there just isn’t much there

Maybe you’re right,
but I’m giving Singletary the benefit of the doubt right now for 2 reasons:
1- we saw him run well last year
AND
2- our run blocking is rated so low this season

Hopefully Feliciano helps & we get our sh!t together soon

Hope you’re right
Bc we shouldn’t be throwing the ball 40+ times each week
Gotta start getting something out of the running game if we wanna beat good teams

Just sign Poe off the street.... no assets needed. Played for Carolina after Star left, under our d line coach, check and check... zero reason to at least kick the tires on him!

He also knelt for the anthem, something I'm sure Jerry wasn't particularly fond of

Weather is getting way over played for tomorrow, at 1 they are say 16mph gusting to 22, that‘s A far cry from 50. some rain at kick off and around 3. Allen’s  got plenty of arm from these conditions. Protect the ball and stop run,  it’s a Bills blow out.

He’s fat and out of shape. Said as much himself, saying he would work getting himself in shape and sign with someone on about a month

Might as well try
Can always just release him if he’s not working out

But we should still trade for Q.Williams from the Jets
Can’t believe they don’t want a 1st for him

Hey Bum, sounds like Wallace is a go. Looks like 3ER does it again.

Goalofsson about to play RW because every goal he has ever scored was on the right side and Wallace going to play. Greatest Buffalo Sports fan of all time. Who loves ya baby? Yeeeeeyeaha

You see any way can get out of that Okopso deal? Buyout? Expansion draft along w a first something crazy like that. Still suffering from GMTM mistakes and will so with Botterills mess too. So far so great with Adams

The D on paper actually looks good.

Not making fun but this exact thing was said a few months into Botterills signing.
