    So there are two main points from the OP.  Was the QB sneak the right call?  Yes I think it was.  It's the safest play there is, and I don't ever remember a fumble happening on the center-QB exchange.  The only other option was an intentional safety, but that would have given the Vikings a 2 point deficit and the ball and an opportunity for another Jefferson catch to get into FG range.  So no.

     

    The other was about Dorsey not keeping the offense working well in the second half, and I think that criticism is spot on.  Also, all these red zone interceptions seem to be coming from defenders lurking and waiting to undercut our receiver routes.  Wake up, Ken and Josh.  The league knows what you like to do.  

     

    I don't remember where I read it earlier this morning but I saw a quote from Peterson where he basically said they knew what Allen likes to do in the red zone and were ready for it (something about trusting his arm).

    Dorsey is not an NFL caliber OC.  We won’t, but I wish the Bills would look to a veteran OC for next year.  

     

    I believe we already have two on the staff; Shula and Brady.

    Fraiser seems incapable of making adjustments. Maybe it's old age...

     

    Dorsey seems incompetent at times, but he's a new OC, so dunno.

     

    I've never liked McClappity on gamedays, he's a subpar coach when it comes to calling a game.

     

    Will McDermott be here for the new stadium?, hmm, dunno.

     

    I'm willing to cut Frazier some slack given the injuries on defense.  What is occurring on offense is inexcusable.

    IMO, the Jets defense is playing at a legit, playoff caliber level. However, the offense, especially after the loss of Hall and Vera-Tucker, is terrible. Wilson may be the worst starting QB in the league and seems to have regressed from a weak rookie season. Unless Wilson steps up against the Bills, I think he'll be benched for Mike White in an attempt to save the season. 

     

    I believe the Bills offense could have a tough time versus the Jets defense, but it might not matter if the Bills defense creates turnovers and punts, which will allow Buffalo to wear down the Jets defense.  

     

    24-10 Bills

     

    It will be interesting watching "Sauce" attempt to cover Diggs.

    No question there was concern, Chad Hall and a trainer met him coming off the field.  I thought that should have been called as a "defenseless receiver" hit as the defender's helmet went right through the ball into McKenzie's facemask while he was landing.  I guess if you target the ball, you can get away with hitting the head (or the nuts, or anyplace else)

     

    I don't think that would explain the busted jet sweep to R/screen pass to L/"option reverse pitch" to McKenzie though, didn't that take place beforehand?

     

    You're correct, no excuse for that one.

    McKenzie was responsible for missing two tds against the Chiefs you can’t have that in the second half down the stretch. If you can find an upgrade you do it. And I’m looking at you KJ Hamler.  

     

    I think he had his "bell rung" early in the KC game, which affected his play the rest of the game.  His head hit the field fairly hard on the play where he went after a high pass and was drilled backward onto the turf.

    Halftime adjustments are unbelievable as well...

     

    3rd Quarter scoring:

     

    Bills 44

    Opp 0

     

    2nd half scoring:

     

    Bills 63

    Opp 7

     

    This is an excellent point.  Didn't the Bills have difficulty scoring in the 3rd quarter last season?  IIRC people were complaining they always came out flat after halftime.

  7. Joe D lived down the street from my parent's house in OP and I saw him occasionally as a kid when riding my bike with friends.  He always waved and seemed like a nice guy.

     

    My friends and I were hanging out shooting pool at the old Rappl's in OP one night and Jeff Wright came in with some buddies.  We gave him the nod and left them alone and they hung out at the bar for awhile doing shots and drinking beer.

     

    I ran into Fred Smerlas one morning in the Denny's parking lot near the 5 corners in OP.  He said hello and seemed like a happy-go-lucky guy.  Too bad he's a douche now.

    Not surprised if the Dolphins organization encourages 1pm games early in the year, knowing that they have this advantage. 

     

    In Buffalo, BOTH teams suffer in the cold. In Miami, only 1 has to deal with heat exhaustion. 

     

    How could you watch the game yesterday and not see that? When have you ever seen so many injuries and unexplainable blunders by 1 team? Have people put 2 and 2 together yet? I'll give some of the posters here a minute. .

     

    I didn't read the entire thread and apologize if this was mentioned already...  I watched the game with a Raiders fan and he pointed out that Miami always chooses to wear their white uniforms when playing at home, which will also contribute to the sun/heat becoming a factor during the game.
