A Few Thoughts About the Dolphins Game, in no particular order
wjag replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
#1. His role is increasing with each week. Has to be scaring the bee jee bees out of teams that do all they can to contain the triplets. His underneath, in the flat routes, are open more times than not. I see all these games as seasoning. He has flashed this year. I think he could be great next year. #2. That game plan was simply baffling to me. I think Tua needs an offseason with Jordan Palmer. I don't know how many screens or 3 yard passes he threw yesterday, but it felt like several games worth. Parker showed the ability to beat coverage. I will be interested to see the ALL 22 to see if they were running deep routes with Gisecki, Parker and Ford. I clearly remember Ford dropping two deep passes. Ford's drops were big. Dolphins need another WR to complement Parker. #3. True for Marlow. Also true for every player stuck on the depth charts below the starters. I count 32 different names in the stat sheet this AM. Add in the OLINE which was probably another 8 guys. And there was probably another 6-10 guys on special teams that got in the game but not the stat sheet. About the only guy who appears to have sat yesterday was Roberts. -
Round 1 Playoff: Colts at Bills - Sat. 1/9 1:05pm

No one said be afraid, maybe respect, not be dismissive of, is a better approach. This is the matchup I wanted. Doesn't mean it will be easy. Rivers is a cagey veteran. Ty Hilton is a legit WR1 but is definitely getting long in the tooth. Taylor is a 1000 yard back with low mileage on his legs being a rookie. Reich is an offensive minded coach. Buckner is good Dlineman. If they can be attacked anywhere, it seems their secondary has some holes. They had a lengthy injury report which included Buckner and Hilton, but both played yesterday. Their Dline got six sacks. Early in the season, they were a stout defense. Colts have scored >=24 points in 8 straight games. So respect, not fear. -
As the Tua churns. Reading the Dolphins board this week, you get the distinct impression that half the fan base wants another option at QB. No fan base wants to go out like that yesterday. That is going to lead a bad taste in their mouth right up until the number 3 pick in the NFL draft. What they do with that pick will be heavily scrutinized.

They rushed for 253 yards with a banged up OLINE. -

Pretty amazing that Jonathan Taylor out rushed Derrick, aka King Henry yesterday 253-250. Taylor had an 8.3 yard per rush average. There are four great rushing teams in the AFC: Tennessee, Indianapolis, Cleveland and Baltimore. The playoffs are going to be a battle. -
A baker's dozen thoughts on the game, focused mainly on the players other than Allen and Diggs: 1. Never ever, not even in the heydays of the K-Gun, do I recall a team that went for the jugular like the Bills of the 2020's. 2. Barkley throwing a bomb to Davis was just astounding especially considering the game was already won. Buffalo has been trying to hit that route the last few games. Davis made a heckuva grab. 107 yards receiving on 2 catches. 2!!! Barkley balled out yesterday. 3. Bojo with just an incredible punt. Now that is how you execute a coffin corner. 4. Antonio Williams went from who to TJ Yeldon who? 12-63, 2 TDs and a 5.3 yards per rush average, behind a back up line against a front line defense. Just amazing. The RB coach seemingly was the only one who knew. 5. McKenzie came to play. The only thing he didn't do well yesterday, and it's a nit, is he allowed Van Ginkel to catch him on a sweep for no gain. 6. The Bills roasted, toasted and flat out embarrassed the highest paid secondary in the league. Miami did get two INTs to their credit with Jones making an absolute beaut of one. 7. In another example of how deep this team is, Mike Love gets elevated from the PS and makes a huge TFL to stall a Phins drive. 8. In a game the Bills absolutely dominated from the second quarter on, the Bills lost the TOP 32-28. If you didn't watch the game and just read the box score, you would be hard pressed to understand how the Bills won by 30 points. Consider these stats: Total offense: Buf 455 Mia 454!!; Passing: Mia 384 Buf 377; Rushing: Buf 78 Mia 74 9. A ST, Def and Off TD in the same game. As I live and breathe. Finished the second straight week with just three penalties. 10. Players deserving a shout out from yesterday: Dean Marlowe, Taron Johnson, Dane Jackson, Tyler Matakevich, Siran Neal and Josh Norman. Boy the JV defense came to show out. 3 INTs and a FR. 11. Devante Parker made two beautiful sideline grabs against Levi. The only Dolphin player that brought his A game yesterday. 12. Game balls to McDermott, Dabol, Frasier and every single position coach on the Bills. Brandon Beane, that is one impressive roster, from 1-63, you have assembled. 13. The John Brown 32 yard TD was exquisite. The route, the throw, the catch in stride -- the entire execution of the play was flawless. Welcome back John!!!!!!!!!!

Who? I think Buckner is their stud. Can’t find any injury news on them. -

Perfect time slot. Least amount of time for Colts to prepare. Just finished a late game. Have to travel. Perfect. -

Is Antonio Williams the best closer we have had since Thurman?
wjag replied to LeGOATski's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
And he can run routes and catch the ball.
