    ....there is, as expected, much gnashing of teeth.

     

    Some of the more interesting thread discussions, include, (but are not limited to):

     

    - Fire Danny Crossman!

    - We got stupid fans

    - Trade for Justin Fields

    - The Dolphins have had a curse ever since moving to this stadium built on a native American burial ground

    Over the moon with the result.

     

    HOWEVER;

     

    I would like to hear an explanation / some rational comments on the following decisions (or lack thereof) by the zebras that almost robbed us of a hard earned win:

     

    - The blatant PI on Dawson Knox before the first interception

    - The helmet to helmet on the stop by the fish on the one-yard line on the last play of the half

     

    Neither of which the NBC "experts" properly acknowledged BTW.

    Week 18 - Bills v. Fish - PREDICT THE SCORE

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted · Edited by SydneyBillsFan

    On the one hand, the offense is spluttering and does not fill me with confidence.

     

    On the other hand, the fish pass rush has been gutted and filleted. Wilkins and Van Ginkel will be their main threats.

     

    I reckon it will be super close.

    What's Wrong With The Passing O?

    Him and Kincaid are probably our best answers right now, which is disappointing to say the least. But I will say Shakir's size, especially his arm length, also creates low margin for error. I think constantly funneling the ball to him over the middle would create more possible negative plays than fans would like to believe. Still he has been the most consistent receiver we've had by far on a per target basis in recent weeks. Ideally Shakir would just be a role player but we may be forced to prioritize his target share a little more.

     

    I appreciate the catch radius concerns but unfortunately we have guys like Davis, Murray and, lately, even Diggs who are dropping regulation passes hitting them right on the chest or belly button. Shakir is not one of those.

     

    Feed the guy who moves the chains!

    Josh needs a lot less golf and a lot more work on his mechanics and chemistry with his receivers this coming offseason.   He talked about getting back to his offseason mechanics training in the postgame today........but he's clearly not putting in the work he was prior to the 2021 season.    After 13 seconds I think he thought he had neared the pinnacle of his profession but he's regressed back closer to Cam Newton 2.0 than the passer he was then.   Time for him to get serious about winning before his own talent regresses back to the pack.

     

    I think it's a combination of all the issues raised.

     

    Where Josh is concerned, my thoughts shortly after the Patriots loss were that he put on some weight (I doubt he is 237 pounds these days) and spent too much time in the off-season playing golf and doing podcasts, and that it was the first summer he didn't attend Jordan Palmer's QB academy. I have seen nothing recently to change that viewpoint.

    We've never had play designs to get Diggs open. He has done that himself with elite route running. This year he simply doesn't have it. Every passing offense needs someone you can rely on when other things aren't working. We don't have anybody to rely on consistently right now.

     

    I would argue that Shakir could be the guy.

     

    Has sticky hands, often catches the less than perfect passes and looks clutch on third and medium to long.

     

    He may not be a WR1, but he's the best according to my eye test.

    What contract will AJ Epen$a get?

    49. EDGE LEONARD FLOYD, BUFFALO BILLS

     

    Floyd was let go by the Los Angeles Rams as they dropped from the most expensive NFL team in 2022 to the cheapest in 2023. Still, he has made a handful of splash plays this season, with several coming in key moments as the Bills defense struggles overall.

    Floyd has earned 65.0-plus pass-rush grades in four straight seasons, and his 37.5 sacks over the span have flown under the radar as a top-10 mark among edge defenders.

    Floyd is long and rangy, with good burst but only adequate bend around the edge. He tends to impact more plays than the box score indicates, thanks to his good instincts to get his hands up to deflect passes or disrupt throwing windows.

    Dunno about the rest of you, but I wouldn't hesitate a nanosecond to get him back for that money.
