I'm not going to lie I kept waiting for this to trail off to the lyrics Pinball Wizard and now it's stuck in my head. But I agree with the central premise. Brady operates with a simple principle I approve of: if something is consistently working, spam it until the defense adjusts to try to stop it. If James Cook is leaving their new free agent safety with his face in the first and you are up two scores why in heaven would you stop that? But so many teams will do just that. They have players worried about their numbers or outthink themselves. He's got going to force feed a guy 8 balls a game if a defense is devoted to shutting you down. He will maybe do it once just to keep teams honest. I'm not just dumping on Diggs but an example of this was Shakir's tunnel screen. How many times did we watch Diggs take that play for 3-4 yards while Shakir busts something?

I mean there's no way I can match Tua's generosity. I mean just last night he gave the Bills 3 turnovers and 17 points!

If they do, whoever takes him will need the space for the guaranteed money. They just restructured his deal

That's about as good as we could have hoped for

Miami police were informed of two murders and look, Tyreek Hill was at the scene

Move Rapp to linebacker. I'm not even joking. With Milano and Bernard out for an unforseen amount of time, and TJ still in recovery tell me other player the Bills have that A) Hits like a Mack truck B) know coverage schemes C) is faster than a D lineman I also have zero issues with rolling out thick nickel and dime

I'm going to look at some of the long term cap impact once there is more detail but even if Tua is back in 2025 (I don't think he should) they were already leveraged close to Max with those extensions. Now those players will get close to impossible to get off the books. If Tua is done, they will need to crater nearly everything else to pay aging stars they can't win with. I have come to respect his ingenuity as an OC. His HC decisions are what sinks him

I mean the Dolphins were scummy enough to do him dirty in 2020. And, not to beleabor the point I don't know how they afford even $100 million in cap hit over 2025 and 26

I mean not even the "on film" part. Legitimate question: when has Josh had a run game this dominant? In the second half when the Dolphins KNEW the Bills were milking the clock they couldn't stop it You keep doing something that works until teams stop you. If opposing defenses are giving Josh 8 man boxes, look out!

Same.

FWIW I think it depends. IIRC in theory the dead cap hit is the money actually paid out which so far would be the roster or signing bonuses. In theory the only dead cap would be the signing bonus and the Dolphins could try to sue for it back. However, that would be a bad look. To take away the bag of the guy you said was a franchise player because you continuously put him in harms way? It would be a PR nightmare. And then there's whether any seasons has salary guaranteed for injury which I hope his agent did purely on the basis of professional competence. On the field? It's ghoulish to gloat but purely thinking of ramifications (like I do with is losing Milano and Bernard) but even best case scenario they will need to wait a few weeks. I will not put it past the Dolphins to wheel him out to die so I hope Tua at least has the sense to stay on IR and get a real independent neurologist. I think any common sense from Tua will have him out for the year. If he retires? The Dolphins spent *big* on extensions. If they are starting from zero on a QB the 2025 might be in the tank too. Unless they are willing to tank they look to be in QB Draft purgatory: too good to get a top 10 pick, too bad to crack the playoffs. Of course I was crowing the demise of the Jets and here they are...

Watching the Post game. There are fans chanting "MVP MVP MVP" for Josh. Injuries on both sides mar the moment, but hot damn did the Bills come to play

Fuuuuuuu

Hill to the locker room?

Ok I did not have James Cook having 3 TDs. Time to bet on 4?

Poyer keeps giving gifts. Late post I know but heeeey

Fitz knows where it's at

Doh!!! In other news the activated Bishop at S.

Van De Mark seems to be a true C. Fantastic to have in a year or two, needs seasoning. Not bad in a later round pick

Any word on the ground about Bills fans in stadium?

Predictions time: Brady makes up for the lack of TE yardage by using Kincaid in Knox in the middle of the field and uses a balanced run & screen mix to try to wear out Miami's front knowing they don't have our depth. McDermott tries the standard "attack up the middle on pass rush", plays shell coverage. We will be infuriated by the defense bending and Hill/Waddle get some shots but Tua will hit a dry spell. 34-31 Bills Speaking of Dline rotation

Brawndo! It's got what plants crave

It's wish casting a bit, but boy did I love watching the Dolphins have their stadium taken over by Bills fans Week 18 last year. I would love seeing them have to go with silent count at their own stadium

Children woke me up early. I'm going to be a miserable cuss today unless the Bills win 😝

I'll write less when the Bills give me less to write about lol
