    Guys,

     

    A loss is never an easy thing to swallow, especially for us Bills fans this day and age, considering the fact we have arguably the best, most talented team in the NFL AND are the consensus super bowl favorites.  I go into every game fully expecting to win, and there's not a team in this league that scares me.

     

    With that said, and for the first time in a very long time I was very nervous heading into this game, for obvious reasons:  starting two rookie CB's against two of the fastest and talented receivers in the league, both starting safeties out, our two best defensive tackles out and a third less than 100%, one of our starting LB's less than 100%, our number two WR less than 100%, ditto for our starting TE.  THEN, right before kickoff we find out our center is out for the game.  Really?  

     

    No worries.  But to add injury to more injury, during the course of the game, we manage to lose two more starting offensive lineman!  Our RG AND RT.  Oh yeah and btw, our all world number one WR is lost for significant chunks of minutes due to cramping/injury. 

     

    Due to injuries or whatever, our offensive line was overwhelmed all game.  Even though he threw for 400 yards, Josh looked out of sync for much of the day. He rarely had any time to throw, as it seemed like the offensive line was completely overwhelmed by Miami's front four.  The pocket seemed to collapse around him all day, and even though the stat line says he was only sacked four times, he was hurried or knocked down far too often. Singletary was blown up at or behind the line several times.  Singletary's rushing numbers, 9 carries for 13 yards. Moss's rushing numbers (minus his 43 yard scamper), 3 carries for 3 yards.

     

    Buffalo giftwrapped Miami a TD by giving them the ball at the 6 yard line.

     

    That last drive of the first half, Van Rotten was utterly abysmal in his snapping duties, and was singlehandedly responsible for us going into the locker room without at least a FG attempt. 

     

    The usually reliable Bass missed what should have been a chip shot 38 yard FG.

     

    Tua gifted Milano with a pass right into his mitts that should've been a guaranteed pick six.

     

    Yet despite ALL that happening to us, despite everything that went wrong, there we were at the end of the game in a position to limp out of Hard Rock Stadium with a W.  Going into a game vs a hated division rival, in 90 degree temps, missing a frumptillion players, and losing by 2?

     

    I don't think I realized it FULLY, until today, just how effing deep, talented, and utterly amazing this team is, and the potential to do other-worldly things on the football field.   When this season is said and done, I really wont even try to guess how many records are shattered.  

     

    I remain as encouraged as ever after today's loss.  Maybe even more so.

     

    LET'S GO BUFFALO!

     

    I felt this way soon after the game ended, then I realized how many blown chances we had. Milano drop pick 6, Davis should be TD, Allen bad pass on 4th at the 1, last drive McKenzie not getting out of bounds... those mistakes had nothing to do with injuries or heat... we blew this one. I'm not panicking or anything, but we blew it.

  2. What a ridiculous reaction. Divisional game against our top competition to win the East. It's quite meaningful, just not the end of the world. We should have won, we had so many opportunities to win that had nothing to do with injuries. Missed FG, dropped pick 6, many other drops, fumble inside our 10...

    It happens...KC had a similar games against Indy today.

     

    People need to stop freaking out and just see it for what it is...

     

    We played with a ridiculous number of guys out, kept losing players all game, didn't play our best and it still took Miami everything they had to win,

     

    That likely never happens again.

     

    This was Miami's Fitzpatrick game against the Pats 

    I'm not freaking out. Just pissed that we lost.

  4. Too many missed opportunities, the fact that we were in the game with all the injuries from last week and all the injury issues today is very surprising. We had a long list of chances to change the outcome of the game, but missed on almost everyone of them.

    It would have been nice to see the ref make more of an effort to get the ball down on the last snap, nitpicking for sure, but I've seen refs spring to the LOS in past games

    Let him walk and draft a safety in the top 3 rounds.  Safeties are replaceable.  I think we are about to see that their success is as much about McDermott and Frazier's scheme than those two being elite.  Don't get me wrong, they are very good.  But I don't think they are irreplaceable.  

    Did anyone ever think they're irreplaceable? Everyone is replaceable.

    Bills will be coming into this game with a chip on their shoulder.  Last week they scored 42 and sat Allen for the whole fourth quarter. Meanwhile the fish gave up 38 to a much weaker ravens offense.   Bills -11.5 is being offered at +200.   They play the games for a reason.  But this bet should be on all bills fans radars.  (I am aware we are banged up on defense, Von Miller will make sure Tua knows we still have 11 guys out there)

    I wouldn't call betting on games a 'legit' chance to win money, it's a gamble.  We're missing 6 defensive starters and our center, it's crazy that someone has us a -11. If I'm gambling, I'm taking the points.

    I’m not going to diminish him. He played great and took advantage of the plays that were available to him. 6 TDs is seriously impressive and he deserves serious accolades for it. It was also an incredible breakdown by Baltimore. Both can be true 

     

    My question is can he doing again? Not 6 TDs, can he be that effective again? In 2 years he hasn’t shown he can be that guy consistently and until he does, he’s going to be questioned. Hell a week ago he put up a one TD game against a Pretty bad team at home
     

    Yeah, he can be questioned until he performs at a high level consistently, it's just so comical on how Bills fans pick a 6TD game to double down on the criticism of Tua.

    What lengths?   Miami didn't play well for most of the game, and Baltimore played terribly on both sides of the ball in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter, allowing Miami to come back to win the game.   Tua was good enough to take advantage of poor DB play in the second half which gave him spectacular stats but he didn't play particularly well for the entire game.   That doesn't prove he'll be a great QB.  It does suggest that he's probably at least a decent or better QB.   He needs a bigger sample size.

     

    Frank Reich played a great half of football in the Comeback Game, but he never regularly put on that kind of performance even when he was a starter.   I don't know that he ever had a similar performance in his entire career.  

    I guess if you want to look fair minded, wait for a bad game to try to diminish his accomplishments, not a game with 470 yards passing, 6 TD's with 4 in the 4th after trailing by 21 points, on the road.

    For 3 quarters, the Ravens did perfectly fine.  They held Tua and the offense to 14 points.

     

    Then they inexplicably stopped being able to execute even basic coverages, allowed WRs to run free through the secondary, blew coverage after coverage and generally looked like it was their first time ever playing football.  I have never seen worse DB play in a quarter than I did that game.  It was historically bad. That should NEVER happen in an NFL game. Never. Inexcusable and it had nothing to do with their receivers or anything else.  It was 100% epic failure on the Ravens.

     

    Honestly it reminded me a lot of the Houston Oilers DB play in the Greatest Comeback game in the 2nd half, except they condensed that to a single quarter.

     

    Miami has tried playing man and using Cover 0 blitzes many times and Allen has decimated them on it. Get ready to see a lot of deep over routes if they play the same way again. Allen is both one of the best QBs in the NFL against man coverage and the blitz.  Good luck if they think that is a way to win.

    The lengths some will go to just to not give any credit to someone they love to trash, because can't back away from the narrative that Tua blows.  So, if this reminds you of the Oiler's game, are you not giving Reich any credit for the comeback? You would be consistent to do that. It has nothing to do with our receivers or anything else, right?

    Good game for Tua no doubt but as long as we're keeping things in perspective,  the Ravens were dead last in the league in passing yards allowed in 2021.  3rd last in passing TDs allowed.   Bills were first in both categories.   I don't expect to see those kind of numbers against Buffalo or any competent defense.

    I agree,  Ravens defense was terrible last year,  not much better this year. 

    But Miami is dangerous,  big weapons on offense. 

  11. I think it's a pretty safe bet that almost every person in this country dismissing a 470 yard, 6 TD , with 4 TD passes in the 4th qtr are Bills fans. No sign of bias , I'm sure.

    Dolphins have won 9 of 10 with Tua as QB. I hope the Bills don't underestimate him the way the fans do.

    I think we have enough depth at LB with Dodson Bernard and Spector 

     

    that we should try some 4-3 overloaded blitz looks with Tremaine next to Von.

     

    Edmunds really needs to make impact plays and this would give him more opportunities

     

    he’s looked good in my opinion when used as a blitzer up the middle

    I we go with with Edmunds next to Miller, and one of those LB's plays the middle, that would make 12 players. Who do you remove from the defense to make this happen?

    We didn't blitz once Thursday, we would rather not blitz if we don't have to. Edmunds played a great game against the Rams, to think any of the 3 that you mentioned would have played nearly as well is insane.

    Maybe I missed this discussed via McD post game, or the discussion on here…

     

    The Bills leave themselves short handed on the outside with just Diggs, Davis, Kumerow when Shakir is inactive. 
     

    An injury to our #1 or #2 would have us forced to use certain personnel, with Knox as the split end, or possibly force Kumerow into action. 
     

    I think TD Jesus is a capable WR, but I’d rather have the rook be available to step in, instead of have all three RBs (Single, Moss, Cook) active each week. It is not necessary. 
     

    Thoughts?

    similar logic, we dress 2 RB's and one gets hurt. Then what?

    You only have interest in being a creep about bills fans talking smack about an opposing player that showed up to a training camp in an armored truck equipped with a hype man with a megaphone talking about how great he is.  That same player talked some serious trash about the soon to be best player in franchise history. 
     

    You should get a new hobby.  This one sucks

    Someone's feelings are bruised.  Sowwy.

    So, like Ramsey, you cannot admit when you made a mistake.  Also noted.

    I'm sure this isn't good enough for you.

    So...you admit you can't?  Noted.  And no, I'm not.  All I said was that if Ramsey did come out, admit he said what he did and then admit he was wrong, he'd get less grief over his quote.  No more, no less.  If you don't believe me, look through this thread again.  Not once did I say anything about the quote itself.  You really need to learn to stop jumping to conclusions.

     

    You seem quite invested in bagging on people who point out the irony of his quote.  You're quite needy, aren't you?

    I have no interest in looking for quotes that you want to hear.  I have no idea what else he's said about Allen.

    Even Collinsworth was forced to gush over Josh and our Bills tonight…from his awestruck dumbfoundedness in discussing how Josh just loves to play and tell the Rams how he’s owning them after stiff-arms, to making the profound observation that Stafford’s best highlight play was his tackle in defense against Boogie Basham’s INT return…it was a night for the (usually Debbie Downer) announcer makeover for the ages! What were your favorite Collinsworth quips on the night?

    He's always been extremely complimentary of Allen, very few people in the football world aren't.  This constant whining over not getting enough effusive praise is tiresome.  The fans are supposed to kiss butt, not the announcers.

    Thing is, he'd get far less grief if he simply came out and said that yeah, he said that about Allen, but as much as he hates to admit it he was completely wrong about Josh.  His ego will never allow such an admission.

    He’s talented,” Ramsey said.

    “He presents challenges,” Ramsey said. “Every week you have to face a new challenge, and this is our third week so we have to face the challenge of him and that Bills’ offense. He has some weapons around him. He can make plays running the ball and extending plays, etc, etc.
