Fair enough, I am just going by my eye test, Groot looked OK against the run and not much of a factor in the pass rush. All 22 and more detailed analysis could prove me wrong.

Some thoughts below: 1. I think we need to at least give the coaching staff some credit for the lack of turnovers and relatively low number of penalties so far this season (and, with respect to turnovers, last season as well). Maybe it is mostly from the players, but coaching focus on taking care of the ball must also be a part of it. We do have a well coached team, even if there are things that continue to aggravate us, including clock management, challenges and our bend but not break defense. 2. What happens in terms of the roster when Max, Hoecht and Ogunjobi return to the active roster? Maybe there will be injuries and players going on IR, but if not, who gets released? 3. I think White still has great instincts and is strong in the run game. He had some issues against Miami, but the Bills generally do not have a lot of speed in the defensive backfield. I hope Max can contribute this season because he does have physical traits to be what is currently missing among the DBs. 4. Our mix of receivers on offense is interesting. Maybe the best overall group of TEs in the NFL and Shakir looks great again this season. I know that there is a lot of debate about our WRs, but I do think a WR who can stretch the field would further open things up for the rest of the receiver group. Not going to get one during the season. 5. Good to see James Cook getting more carries on a percentage basis as compared to last season. He looks great, and I assume this is conscious decision from the coaching staff. Unfortunately, Davis has not looked good so far, although it could be because he has not had an opportunity to get in a rhythm. 6. Listening to an interview with Douglas before the game with the Dolphins, it was interesting to hear him say that the Bills "do things the right way" and have an organized system that everyone in the building follows. 7. Nice to see that we are getting some contribution from our draft picks. Surprised about Hawes and disappointed in Jackson. Really thought that Jackson would contribute right away when he was drafted. 8. Shaq Thompson was a pleasant surprise last night against the Dolphins. He contributed, and hopefully that will continue during the season if he can get healthier and stay healthy, particularly if Milano is out for a longer than anticipated period of time.

Yeah, that's not about the yardage, that's about the change of possession.

Apparently Stevie was at the game because he's on a flight to Cali and is seated next to my sister. Who apparently first bumped Fitz last week too. ... How

Even Tiger sliced it once or twice.

Challenging a 5 yard gain on a 3rd and 4 is NOT wasteful.

I never believed these garbage shows that used to once be a unifying piece of Americana that liberals destroyed ever got the kind of ratings you think they did. I still think it’s lower then this: They were waiting for any excuse

I'm going to guess Tua averaging a completion of -0.5 yards well into quarter 3 had something to do with this? He finished at 1.4 yards for the entire game on average distance for his completions.

I’m officially worried about Kaden Prather.

Warning! Misleading title! 😄

I think Cooks contract is fine, it's the way he went about getting it that I didn't like. Public negotiations aren't the usual Bills way, and I hope it doesn't become a regular occurrence.

Kincade is becoming a very good TE, Knox has vanished, overall our WR'S has catching the ball, Besides Barkley give me Cook, Beene has a lifetime pass for drafting Allen. D will look alot Different when Harrison and the PED dudes come back.

Thanks - considering I've just watched the game back I should have picked up on that! Plus, I said I was watching back without emotion involved as I know what happens, but I'm not sure if it's worked that way.

If I remember right, I think that the other defender whom Allen threw a guy at was none other than Leonard Floyd

Every fan base cries about play calling, it's ridiculous. Virtually every play in a team's playbook is designed to score a TD. Players must execute at a high level against pro defenses, who can take such plays away.

This isn’t true - the Bills went 3 and out once. The 2nd punt was on a 6 play drive. The Bills had already gotten one 1st down on the Sieler drive - so no they would not have gone 3 and out 3 times in a row. Yes they may have punted 3 times in a row - with one called back, but they did not go 3 and out.

Wondering if Frank Gore Jr might get a call-up?

Totally agree about the initial point of the thread. I’m more concerned about what John Parry is providing to McD so he can make better challenges. I have zero concerns about clock management. The Ravens are still bitching about the Bills execution to end the half and get the FG.

Hell I'll admit said wrong Josh and then after his 2nd season I thought best Josh be would be a top 15 QB. Awesome on him to do the work to improve his mechanics to take him to another level or two.

Sending love and good thought to you and your daughter.

It wasn't just a stiff arm, either. He used his grip on his facemask to steer the defender into the way of another defender to take them both out of the play. It's the most insane and hilarious thing a QB has ever done.

If it wasn't for Sieler's idiocy we would have gone had 3 & out punts three times in a row, due to poor play-calling and execution. With a tied game, we would be giving the ball back to a Miami offense we had shown little chance of stopping. Take seven off the board there and we're on 21, not 28. We scored 31, but seven of those were at least partially down to Sieler and three thanks to the defense/Tua. Now, if the Bills were facing a great defense then that's one thing. But they were facing an undermanned and weakened defense last night, yet it spluttered.
