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.

The stats don’t bear that out. They doubled Miami up in top and outgained them by hundreds of yards. In short , they had a flukey game where they just didn’t finish drives. They were #1 in redzone going into yesterdays game. Their injuries by and large are on Defense and they still held Miami in check. The Bills even with injuries ( not to their top 4 players ) are still better than most teams and the Ravens D is beat up.

The Bills are better than the Ravens.

It would, but you can’t have everything. They won’t invest a #1 pick on an RB ever. I don’t think Miss is very good, and would rather they call up Duke Johnson as RB2. Singletary has become a decent player. I wouldn’t have hated Dorsey not calling back to back passes on 3rd and 4th down. Conversely I didn’t love the Jauronesque run run , pass sequence early that led to the strip sack of Josh. A lot of this is just philosophy, not inability to run, but they have no backs that will ever be considered elite.

They won’t move the Bills game, but the Tampa / KC game could be moved to Monday or Tuesday. The venue may be moved as well to the closest available site.

They could become consistent with it. They just don’t care about it enough from an offensive philosophy standpoint to invest in improving it. Every team loses yards on running plays from time to time, but they stick with it and the gains outweigh it. This team is different. They’d just rather have Josh throw the ball, or even run with it. It’s hard to argue with it as they’re very successful on offense.

The Bills organizational philosophy is that running the ball is almost a wasted down , except in certain circumstances. That’s their take on the modern NFL and it’s why they have Josh Allen. It’s been very successful and they think it will win them a worlds championship. They could have built their team to excel at the ground game, but I’m glad they didn’t. People act like they will never lose a game. That doesn’t happen in the NFL, especially with a 17 game schedule. The Bills failed to execute several offensive plays yesterday that were there for the taking. That’s why they lost . On to Baltimore…

Exactly.. why pretend that Beane/ McD didn’t draft Josh Allen and he’s not on the Bills? Most HCs and regimes would be fired if they didn’t hit on a franchise QB in the draft.

First goal is always the division title : you can’t get the 1 seed without it. No part of what I saw yesterday makes me think Miami is going to win 10 in a row or anything.

We’ll know sometime late in 2023. Check back then.

Needed a sideline route or go to the ground immediately run up and spike. Would been a long attempt but Bass in good weather is a decent chance anyway.

Couldn’t disagree more. The big uglies were not to blame today. You don’t get those kind of disparities in yardage, first downs etc getting whipped in the trenches. The skill positions failed at key moments leaving points off the board. That’s really it. Bills should have had 30 or more today including the safety.

Yep. Probably had a much better chance of downing the Dolphins with a depleted roster. Jackson is a better QB than Tagavailoa. Need wins vs BAL and KC.

He got the ball back with 1:15 or so and needed to get the team into field goal range for the game winning attempt. He did not succeed. He would get a lot of credit if they won. It works both ways. I’m sure he’s not happy with his play the last couple possessions.

Yep. The Bills have been remarkably healthy the past few seasons. That’s just not going to happen every year.
