Anything on this at all? All I have is speculation that it's a sprain or a hurt tendon

I keep remembering Week 18 last year which I think sums up McDaniel as a coach. The Dolphins come in putting both Achane and Mostert in the backfield and Tua starts doing this little pop handoff which effectively makes it a read option between two capable backs and they just tear through the Bills defense...in the first half. In the second, McDermott decides to stop trying to read the run and just goes for penetration knowing they are going to get burned and relying on TFL to keep the Phins behind the sticks. Instead of adjusting, McDaniel kinda gave it up and went back to Tua passing and their offense falls apart in the second half. Brilliant play design. Other than today, piss poor situational awareness.

Legitimately that was the best I've seen the Dolphins play is in the McDaniel era. Achane is going to haunt us for years. Tua missed 3 total passes. They were dialed in and hitting hard and not allowing anything deep. McDaniel didn't forget that he has a run game. And even with some incredible refball they still came up short

As I think about it I think you're likely right. An X-ray would rule out a break but they'd likely want an MRI to diagnose a sprain and would likely want to rest overnight to get a clearer look.

Seriously though has anyone heard anything? X-rays are pretty quick I have to think they have some ideas by now

I said it before, I'll say it again: Davis has shown enough that I trust him more as the primary back. I want to see more of Cook as a Kamara or CMC

Like it or not, that's been the gameplan vs the Dolphins the entire McDaniel tenure. Honestly this was the first time i can remember he didn't go galaxy brain and force the pass

that is now knowing the result. i know analytics says take the xp, i was just being a doomer. i still can't believe bass drilled it

the good news is that it might have been. Phins are 2-6 with games against the Rams, Packers, Texans and Niners, plus a desperate Jets twice. With the tiebreaker secure the Bills need a combination of 4 wins or Phins losses to eliminate their chances at the division.

Honestly I thought they would. Nothing the Bills D was doing at that moment seemed to even slow them. It would have been so Billsy to lose on a closing kick

I'm slightly younger, I just got it on home VHS when I was 5 or under. I brought it to woman who watched us before I could go to school because I really liked it and thought it would be fun. Man, in the 80s and 90s PG actually meant something

Yeah, now that it's over and I'm through it, I have to give it to the Dolphins. They knew that a loss would effectively shut out their chances for he division and they brought it while the Bills obviously didn't (in a reverse of last game). Tua was humming and Achane is going to haunt us for years. But they're going to have an uphill climb to even sniff a wild card at the moment.

I wasn't nervous at all Me the entire 4th quarter:

I have to give it to Bass. A 61 yard clutch FG? What the hell, where has that been man?

Oof those injuries do not help. I still think the Bills take it but I would have preferred a blowout

Time change and a newborn have messed me up. Go Bills!

Especially with the safety situation I keep asking myself "what's going to stop our run game from having a repeat of last time?" If anything the gap seems wider: the Bills have seen the emergence of Ray Davis as a second punch, the O line has more continuity and we've seen Coleman able to check into a designed run if they slack on coverage.

I will never again say that the Bills have anything in the bag, but the Bills have numerous advantages: they're getting healthy while the Phins are backed up, the system matchup still favors Buffalo, Davis and Keon have broken out and Cooper should be getting into a groove.

Just as a note this is Nico's last year on a rookie deal. The dude is going to get paid

That's the one downside

Oh look it's starting!

I feel dirty rooting for the Jets but I am comforted by the knowledge that they will self immolate in their own time

I thought that was the Ayahuasca

Wow how did he do that when he's so slow! 🤣 Jokes aside, while he's no sprinter I'd say his issue is that he's fast not quick. He doesn't have the burst off the line that the Xaviers have naturally. But when he's full speed, or had found a soft spot in the zone he's smooth enough that he's been able to turn upfield. Watch that TD vs the Texans, not only did he outrace his way in he out muscled it

Yeah if anything that should make us take this with a grain of salt
