But they've had those types of runs in every game, and the Bills matchup was the only one where they went away from the run. Had they continued to mix the run plays in more often it would have (or at least should have) started to pay off in the second half as your smaller D-line started to wear out.

Hopefully it was a fluke as somebody else said, and not a trend. Childress' mantra before that game was "Run the ball for QUANTITY, not quality." Yet he only called 13 total runs... he messed up, IMO.

good point. buffalo kept pounding away and eventually was able to break off a few bigger chunks (10+ yds). i think mcgahee ended up at 28/72.. so yeah, quantity.
