Win games and win a lot of them to position yourself for the playoffs. Then hopefully a worlds championship. I don’t care what the score is. If all the Bills did was win close games, their ability to put teams away would be questioned. When will the luck run out ? etc etc. It’s a statistical oddity that occurred last season. This year is 3 games old and the Bills one loss was by a narrow margin in oppressive heat with a high number of injuries. The mistakes that cost them were largely of execution , save for one curious defensive call on a 3rd and 22 vs a non elite QB. I’d be a lot more concerned if the Bills lost in a blowout vs this Miami team than a close tough loss. The best teams will still lose a few in the course of a season. The Bills win most of their games and they’re not close. They lose a few, but by a narrow margin. Objectively this seems like a manufactured crisis.

Updated forecast 63 degrees with 53% chance of rain and wind at 15mph. Not as bad as first thought

Updated rain chance was around 55%and wind around 10-15. Not as bad as first thought but could change again of course.

I’d say around the 42,43 yard line for a decent shot in good conditions

Hopefully no blue pants

Cook hasn’t looked ready or “ in the game” mentally when given his few opportunities, save for a few carries in garbage time. We remember his fumble vs Rams. Looked like he had a chance at a big gainer vs Miami on a pass in the flat but forgot to catch the ball before taking off upfield. These are not the kind of things that convince coaches a rookie RB needs more touches.

Their scheme kept Jackson to some of his lowest career numbers. Their 2019 game plan was heavily borrowed from by the Titans for their playoff game later that season. Neither game in Buffalo had great weather, but they weren’t outliers either. The Bills were highly effective at limiting Jackson’s big plays on the ground. That’s a large part of the battle to defeating the Ravens with him at QB. The Bills may be 1-2 vs Ravens under McDermott, but if any game was an outlier it was the first meeting. I don’t think Jackson started that game and Josh ( in his first NFL game ) definitely did not. He came in cold off the bench for a horrendously ineffective Nathan Peterman and the game was already a blowout. The other loss was a great effort by the Bills vs Jackson but a blown coverage decided the game on a long run after catch TD by TE Haden Hurst. This season Jackson does seem to have improved his passing, but McD and Frazier have had an effective scheme to limit Jackson thus far.

Im not clairvoyant, so no idea which week. I doubt they make it to 10-0, they won’t threaten the record. Probably lose to a team you think they’ll wipe the floor with.

72 Dolphins will be popping the champagne pretty early this year.

I think the Bills O will adapt to with opponent specific game plans and seasonally, as they did last year. The run game is a work in progress to be sure, but later in the season it will be emphasized a bit more. It’s a conundrum for them right now. With the current state of the defense due to injury, you’d like to keep the opposing offense off the field. You’d also like to build a lead. They did a good job limiting the defense’s exposure vs MIA. They definitely allowed too many points for the TOP the Dolphins had.

The Bills were #1 in redzone going into Sunday. If Davis doesn’t get lazy with his catch and Josh hits an easy throw I’d venture they’d still be at the top or close too it. ( I have no idea where they rank now). One off game with a lot of injuries and players missing series etc is no referendum on the Bills red zone offense. Yeah, not a ton of history in this matchup. Not sure how many games in the series but I’d guess not a lot. Only 3 in the Allen era iirc and one was his first NFL game in off the bench .

So DeSantis shouldn’t praise the Biden administration when they very occasionally do the correct thing? The media is unbelievable with this crap.

It also wouldn’t be a successful one. Two uncommon errors and a tipped chip shot field goal kept 17 points off the board. Yes, a lot of good breaks kept MIA ahead on the scoreboard.

Both can be true. There is no question about Josh’s effort or heart. However , he failed to execute a simple play and his reaction showed that he knew it. He would tell anyone if asked that he should have made the throw.

I don’t believe that MIA has put forth any blueprint on beating the Bills. They racked up 31 first downs and almost 500 yards of offense. The Bills stopped themselves in the red zone. Only a couple of errors and a poor throw that Allen rarely makes kept the Bills from scoring 31 points. Not a formula for winning many games.

It would be, and both rescheduling the game to Mon or Tues night or playing at a different venue are being considered.

Depends on the timeline of the injuries ( which they know but only use the official vague designations when discussing with media ) and if there are any players available that fit their scheme etc. OL depth has been a problem around the NFL in recent years so the pickings are likely slim.

Hey , if the OP believes the line is “out of line “he should put a large bet down on BAL. Problem solved!

It was similar to the Lee Evans play in the AFC title game vs New England about ten years ago or so. You have to complete the play, there is no move to make in the end zone . He got lazy and let the DB swat the ball from his hands. Have to be more careful on those plays. I believe the call would have been allowed to stand.

I think this is correct, as in more recent years NFL teams home records have drifted closer to .500.

NFL has already said the game will not be moved to Miami, although the Bucs are practicing there from today on.

Yeah, I’m not seeing this either.

End zone plays are different than open field.

Jackson has had a couple of his lowest output games vs Bills. We’ll see if McD , Frazier and Co can do it again.

I know they have many injuries on defense but don’t know the names and particulars , sorry. I’m sure someone on the board will chime in with info.
