Go all run!

Time to go all run.  Take Trent out, and WR's (except maybe Josh reed), put Marshawn and Fred in the backfield, and run, run, run.  I bet it would get us at least 7 points, It is obvious to me the Turk has an issue with disguising plays, so we might as well go all in.  Show the other teams we're going to run.  Look them right in the eye and punch their lights out.  The formation "Wildcat" or whatever you want to call it, it doesn't necessarily have to be exactly like that.  It works because by removing the QB, you get an extra blocker who knows how to block.  You get 10 blockers instead of the usual 7-8.  Even if the defense loads up the box, there will be a hole somewhere.  If used continuously, you'll break a big run sometime.  Even if we got 3-4 yards every time, we'd still be able to punch it in, using 10 minutes of clock at the same time.

If you have both Marshawn and Fred back behind the line, they can be lined up in a few different ways. Under center, shotgun, split to the left and right (wishbone?), the possibilities are endless.  If only for one drive to start a game, this would work. 

Turk's problem is that he simplified things in the wrong way.  He is I-Form run, Shotgun pass 90% of the time.  If we stuck to one or the other, say I-form because at one time or another he said he was going to use a traditional fullback.  From that formation you could line up exactly the same every time, and still run a thousand different plays.  The key is to look the same every time.  In this simple way, you can disguise your whole playbook.  1 TE, 2WRs, 1 Fullback, 1RB or 3  WR's, 1TE, 1RB or 4 WR's,1RB, or 5 WR, or  2 TE, 2 WR,1 RB.   That is what Buffalo needs to run fo the future .  Old school under center big boy football.  A couple of years ago, it used to be a requirement that you throw from under center, and draftniks would knock your grade down a couple of notches for spending your college career in the shotgun.  Now that the "spread" (DOME) offense is taking everything over, it's time to go back to smacking people down.  SEE - NY Giants

I like to hope Turk isn't some kind of simpleton who can't learn from his mistakes.

Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.

‘Tis Better to Have Rushed and Lost Than Never to Have Rushed At All: Buffalo’s Marshawn Lynch ran for 134 yards on 16 carries, an average of 8.4 yards per carry. Yet on eight Buffalo snaps inside the San Francisco 10, Lynch never touched the ball. Those three possessions inside the opposition 10 netted Buffalo three points.
