Miyagi-Do Karate

that wasn’t even the worst call. Remember that so-called “blind side block” at the end of the game? It knocked us out of FG position. We were about to kick to win that game!!

well, I respectfully disagree after seeing the film. He had anyone he wanted within 5 yards of the LOS, and didn’t want it. The dolphins did a nice job against the run, but the short passing game was there all day.

I agree with a lot of this. It requires a high level of execution and being on schedule. But I would disagree that Miami took anything away from us. All the short stuff was there, but Josh refused to take any of it.

haha. I have not seen this skit!

Agreed. TB ST was basically a mirror image of us. Total train wreck on those KR’s.

but everyone on here thinks we are suddenly going to drop 40 on them?! I am telling you— the gameplan needs to be to play super clean. No sacks, no picks, take what the D gives you in the passing game.

I feel like Coddrington went straight to the dog house after 1 muffed punt. Maybe Hardeman gets more of a leash because he is a WR and we can use him on offense. I will say that it was disappointing that he couldn’t haul in that long bomb. Perfectly thrown.

I think our odds of winning in the playoffs is better playing how we did against KC, as opposed to how we played against TB. People’s perceptions are skewed because TB pass defense isn’t great. Curtis Samuel isn’t making toe tapping catches on 3rd and long against KC.

how do we historically lose to the jets? Some dumb interception or fumble and some ST gaffe. When we beat them, it’s always playing a clean game and letting them make the mistakes. texans D is elite. They are going to try to capitalize on our big mistakes. It’s their only chance to win.

i don’t know, man. I don’t see the Texans doing anything on offense. I just worry about turnovers giving them a chance to score points. I would prefer to play very conservatively, especially on a short week.

All you guys saying HOF, slow your roll! I think he is a second ballot HOFer only.

agreed. I know what play you are talking about too. I think it was the long tucker TD catch (not to be confused with the long Tucker TD run!). Bernard strikes me as very slow from a reaction point. Milano strikes me knowing where to go, but not being able to physically get there. taron seems to just be out of sorts— maybe playing too undisciplined to make up for physical shortcomings?

I am with you. The fatter, the better. Need some big thumpers to hit some guys.

I am a little surprised that the Bills haven’t made some more moves at linebacker. That is a position where you can easily find some solid thumpers just off others’ practice squads. we view shaq as some savior. He is just a mid-tier ordinary linebacker. I would guess there are a bunch of comparable guys floating around to snag.

We need to play this game like we have played the jets. no turnovers, very conservative on offense, let Houston make the mistakes. they have an elite defense and nothing on offense. Our ST and defense should be winning this game.

I love the divergent views on Shavers. There was that one poster on here in preseason who called Shavers a total “loser.” Now someone else thinks he could be a HOFer!!! I love this place!

apparently Sean Tucker is a HOF RB.

I would love to see them put Davis and cook out there together more. On that 2-point misfire, how about using Davis as the FB instead?

I went back to wearing no Bills’ attire. That said, I still feel very out of sorts. This TNF game is going to be a nightmare too. I feel like I may need to try something entirely different.

i hear you. To me, it depends on the opponent. The slower pace is how we beat the ravens in the playoffs last year. Keep Lamar and Henry off the field, get a few turnovers, and hang onto win. I think it’s our best shot in the playoffs. Unfortunately, it’s wasting Josh— but it does protect our leaky defense.

the main problem with the offense is the 32 points the Bucs scored. The only way our D succeeds is if our O plays a slower, TOP, ball control game with no turnovers and gets out in front a little. If we play on offense like we did yesterday, every game is going to be a barn burner.

that would be a wild game. Both teams are just straight-up erratic this year. Have no idea what you are getting from either of them.

I did not have on my TBD bingo card the Shavers comp to hall of famer John Stallworth!

doesn’t it seem like Milano looks heavier too? it’s amazing to think there was a time where Milano was the absolutely most critical player on this D. Unfortunately, he is a shell of his former self.

i saw him once. I didn’t see Hancock at all. Would love to know the snap counts.
