I'll start with the last bolded statement first. Yes, I totally agree, when the Miami CB went out, the guy replacing him was out on an island to the left. I thought for sure that Brady and Allen would attack that corner with a pass, rather than run Jimbo for like 2 yards. Agreed...missed opportunity there. That whole sequence from the refs giving Hill the first down (and the Bills not challenging it), to the two really bad Bills red zone plays and then missed kick by Prater, and then the Dolphins next TD where it looked like Tre just conceded the TD, was all very strange and changed the game from a total blowout to a tight-ish game. Just weird. But again, I agree, the Bills should have put this game away in the second quarter. It was just a really strange series of events. To the other bolded statement, yes, the Miami receivers are fast, and Tyreek is still a great player, so I wouldn't be surprised if their separation is better on a more consistent basis. But I don't think you can make the inference you did above regarding our D-line (sacks) or receivers (separation) tonight. Tua was getting the ball out of his hands in 3 seconds or less. The majority of his passes (it was 11 passes at one point, not sure if that was the final tally) were behind the line of scrimmage tonight (screens, etc). So, they had very few longer developing plays that would involve a pass rush or even needing to get separation. And I think there are a few things going on with the vertical game. One, we are a much more overall efficient offense than we used to be, with a HC and OC that want a balanced attack. So, we run the ball a lot more than we used to (and throw to the backs out of the backfield). Our TEs have become a big part of our game, and though we have seen Kincaid get vertical (and Hawes too now), generally the TE game will not be that far downfield. And the league has changed since 2020-2021. Defenses learned to slow down pass-happy offenses like the Bills and Chiefs with cover zero, etc. Keep everything in front of you. That is how teams play the Bills now. So, we started taking the underneath stuff and just methodically marching down the field (kind of like the old New England offense---game plan to your opponent and take what the defense gives you without making any mistakes). Not as sexy, but effective. So, being opponent-specific, why would we want to throw a lot of deep balls against the Jets or the Dolphins? They are lower percentage plays with a higher percentage for a turnover. Our coaches knew we could out-muscle these teams and let them make the mistakes (which they did). We are a different team than we were in 2020-2022. We aren't pass first, pass often. We are balanced and disciplined. I just think we need to be patient at this point. When they need to pass or if a defense say focuses on the run and leaves things open downfield, I'm sure the Bills will attack that. I just don't think we have run that many routes downfield yet because we haven't really needed to in these last two games. If we had been attempting a downfield game and we weren't being successful, then I might worry, we just haven't needed to do it much yet. Doesn't mean we can't, we just haven't needed to. I mean we all love seeing bombs down the field, but if they aren't really needed in a particular game, why chance them. I don't feel like I've seen Josh really trying to push the ball downfield a lot but not being able to (a few plays maybe). He's usually hitting something over the middle, at the sticks, or underneath. Plus, we have seen Shakir and Coleman catch deep balls before. We know Coleman is good at 50/50 balls and high-pointing the ball. We have some speed: Samuel 4.31, Moore 4.35, Shakir 4.43. So, it basically comes down to some worry that we don't have speed on the outside (Coleman and Palmer), that true #1 X receiver once again. Maybe, but let's worry about that when we see it not working, not when we are choosing not to do it for obvious reasons. Coleman had that one drop tonight, but has anyone really been upset at how Coleman and Palmer have played thus far? In the Baltimore game, they combined for 13 receptions for 173 yards and a TD. Josh threw 7 passes in that game over 20 yards (26, 22, 51, 21, 29, 32, 25, plus the deep ball to Palmer that drew the pass interference call). And Josh has a ton of other weapons as well...he's hitting 9 different guys per game. I really don't think we have anything to worry about.

Woke up. Saw the score. Smiled. Had breakfast. Now work. Enjoy your stress free weekend, Bills fans.

I think it's more of a numbers game right now. If there's an injury to Nickel or Safety, then he'll be in. But with everyone healthy there and the guys they have in for depth being core Special Teamers and him not being that - I don't know that there's a spot for him on the GameDay 48, even if he is healthy and had more time to practice.

That was your total price $3,200? I had Otiicons for a few weeks, Audiologist place screwed up the insurance and then me when they wanted me to pay the insurance balance. I turned them in instead

The offense was clicking in the first half.

But also a pretty good front four

Tyson knocked out Foreman in the 2nd round?

I don't get why people why people that like to trash the Sabres and the owner bother being here smh

But that was a weak call.

Wow! What a day! Game was a little spicier than we had hoped but we won so thats Ok! Hammers Lot was fun! Condiment ceremony was pretty wild. the old stadium was everything I imagined it would be and to be honest, a little nicer than I expected. Many people here have had so many complaints about it over the years, I expected it to be very “rustic” It actually felt pretty modern. Although WTF is up with the sound system? You couldn’t hear anything announced or played on scoreboard at all. And when music was played it had a ridiculously loud slap back echo. I’m an audio engineer so It really bugged me. Lol is that normal here?

Great win! One thing I was glad to see was no Josh designed runs and no brotherly shoves. Hopefully this continues.

Yes. But not because of WR issues. More because of pass rush issues. Which we finally made a serious move about this last offseason.

Mentally ill strikes again

Dolphins D is terrible, that 31 points looked like a struggle because it seems like a plan to only throw short routes with the occasional intermediate one. Obviously it’s on tape and other teams pickup on it, just makes their job easier. Probably why our WRs look like they get no separation.

People in mass have cut through the quick edits of videos and name calling that the left repeatedly use to demonize everyone they disagree with. We have common sense enough to not believe the idiotic narrative they tryed to push on what made the killer commit the act. Its beyond worn out tactics at this point with same suspects and outlets. over and over and over. He was just a guy who was peacefully expressing his opinions and was murdered for them. the fact you dont understand is not suprising but it isnt sitting well with rational people. He was meaningful for many for his speech but more meaningful in the fact that everyone is sick and tired this s#!t.

I was referring to the desperate 50 yard heaves into triple coverage that we started to see all too often under Dorsey, not the occasional risky throw to sustain a drive. As for your other point, how often have we lost playing said efficient, turnover free football since Brady took over? I mean, we've lost like 4 regular season games (not counting the finale) in nearly 1.5 years. I wouldn't say any of them were because our offense was too conservative.

It was more like 148, but three game avg is 250+

I didn't stay up for McDermott's presser. Did anyone ask about the missed challenge on the Dolphins' first drive?

I agree that it could have cost us the game. In that situation, especially on a run, you have to do everything to ensure you don't even come close to a hold

Giants 11-4 lifetime and 7-0 in New York vs KC. And Giants bloomed good vs Dallas.

I've seen the future!

Companisation/organisation firing people over opinions and what they have said is, sometimes, bad. The government interfering and influencing with such decisions is always disastrous. Now I do not know exactly why Kimmel or any of the others were fired etc. But the government interfering is always a much worse attack on free speech. Media and social media platforms etc. are of course free (well.. should be anyway) to choose whom they allow on their channels. A network cancelling someone without government influence is not an attack on free speech. In fact it is quite the opposite (free media is important). A network cancelling someone after government interference is a huge attack on free speech.

First to mention Thompson I think. #45 kept catching our eyes tonight. Subbing in and out with #7 all game long. Showing up here and there. Sticking a tackle or two. Flashing. Love to see it. Just adding Thompson posts to celebrate that nuance of noticing. Yup.
