I dont know why in those iffy situations the coaches on the Bills dont get a player to feign an injury so they get more time to look at it. If McD has a dude helping him with challenges up in the booth, then that guy should buzz McD and tell him to get a player to delay, fake a cramp or something while they have a 2nd look at it. Its seems like a no brainer. Yet that didnt happen last night. I can understand McD's reticence to waste a challenge that early but I dont think he was even aware that the catch by Hill wasnt in bounds. Possibly because the Challenge dude was asleep?

He had one great vintage Tre play in the first half when he knocked down a pass but other than that Tre was often well out of position and slow. It may not have been a problem had we gotten any semblance of a pass rush but Tua had all day to throw. What really infuriates me is the glacier like slowness that the Bills make adjustments on defense. No changes to the pass rush, no changes to the coverages. Tua looked really comfortable in making his reads like he was in practice. I really dont get zone coverage when each member of the zone defense is so far off the ball (and so slow) that they cannot make get a finger on the targeted receiver. I noticed that Babbich at least attempted to get more men right to the line to jam the receivers on some plays later on the game after that ridiculously easy 2nd Miami TD but due to the slowness of the Bills Dbs, they often got left in the dust.

Saw Epenesa shoving some Miami player on the kickoff in the first quarter for a penalty and that was the last time I noticed him.

Are the Dolphins 90% on 3rd down tonight?

Cue the high stress Miami drive down the field with no time left 4 shots to the endzone end of Buffalo Bills game for like the 25th time in the McD era.

Oh wow what a surprise that Tyreek got the ball. Such a shock. Bills never thought of double coverage?

No pass rush, soft coverage, nobody stepping up.

We desperately need a turn over.

Gordon broke 4 tackles on that run.

The sky view of our defense is kinda scary. There are people open for Miami all over the place. If Tua was a faster decision maker he would be at 300 yards passing already.

Time out??

Need a turn over to kill them off.

Nope

Conservative playcalling by Brady fails again.

Rapp body checked Benford in the ribs

OMG another injury??

Totally unacceptable defensive effort there. Total garbage coaching and player performance. Soft zone 5 yards off a receiver? Moronic!!

Bills defense playing stupid. No spies on Tua, nobody close to him. Make some adjustments Babbich!!

WTF the 3rd down defense is atrocious.

More clutch defense on that 3rd down.

Bad end to the drive with some terrible playcalls and a bizarre kick.

Kincaid!!!

Thats the magic and mystery of the NFL ! Is the eye in the sky watching? or isnt he! Nobody knows!!

Yesterday was doubly enjoyable for me. The Chiefs lost again and I finally saw someone lay a salacious hit on Hurts near the end of the game when he was dipsy doodling that he has had coming for the past two years but nobody seems to have accomplished. Win Win!

Brady is way better than Dorsey (but that isnt saying much). He runs a solid conservative offensive game plan that works most of the time. I would just like him to throw in a wrinkle here and there and not make things so obvious. He has tried one trick play (Ravens) that got blown up and weirdly has been too scared to revisit the concept. Dabol used trick plays to great effect in his time here. In addition scheme some guys open deep. Josh definitely has the arm. Finally can we please work on bubble screens. This team hasnt been able to do them with regularity in what seems like forever. Yesterday worked great but we wont always have opponents who beat themselves like the Jets.
