Agree with the first part. Not convinced making them one dimensional is enough though. We must somehow disrupt Miami's clean releases off the line as well. I'm a bit scared with our ancient back line

I had him in my lineup and yanked him right before kickoff. FML lol

Miami is flat out scary this year. Rodgers injury or not, it is absolutely laughable that anyone thought the Jets were a bigger contender in the AFC East

Have to concur. Don't care how good a team is (and Miami is very good). How the @$#@ do you give up 62 damn points?

Miami is legit, period. Bills better bring it

9 sacks in that one. Poor John Beck

He has flat out sucked balls today. Just terrible

So damn frustrating between dropped passes and the friggin refs. Now" turnover machine" Josh gets another one on the ledger

Jesus H what a stupid call

Yes. Come on, I get it. Doesn't mean I have to like it. There's not much "entertainment" to be found in these shows. But to each their own I guess

True. Even if the Bills aren't there, I won't be watching the halftime show. Never really understood the appeal of watching has beens performing 15 minutes of mashups in front of a bunch of jumping fans who were probably paid by the NFL to show enthusiasm

He was decent, better than a lot of what we've seen from him in the past. But I agree with this. It wasn't like he was facing Crosby one on one often (only 15 offensive snaps). Also, Crosby beat him and hit Allen's arm on the bloop interception that was thankfully nullified by penalty.

He definitely wasn't lying lol. That was the date of the snow game against the Colts where you couldn't see the field and Shady ran wild. Deonte Thompson's catch from Joe Webb on 3rd and long set the stage for the OT winner. The Bills would've never broken the drought in 2017 had they not found a way to pull out that game

I preferred Merv Albert

I am aware. I actually started a lengthy thread about that matchup a while back, in particular a 3rd and long play where our undermanned secondary sat back and still allowed a long bomb to Waddle that swung the tide of the game. It was more of a discussion about Frazier and his conservative tendencies. We shall see what happens. I know I responded to your post in particular, but the content could probably be applied to a lot of different posts about the Dolphins. It just seems there is a general sense of taking Miami lightly around here, which to me is misguided. As I've stated before the Bills are going to be at a massive disadvantage in the division if they don't win in week 4. Hopefully Buffalo will take care of business and find a way to slow them down.

Just figured I'd provide the tweet. Hope Cook is good

And yet they still played us within 3 points every game. They're a year deeper into McDaniel's system and have shown a greater willingness and ability to run the ball when that is what defenses give them. Pass protection has been solid for them without Armstead and Mostert has been very effective. Tua was also obviously concussed in the week 3 game and threw only 18 passes. His passer ratings were 123 and 104 respectively against us, which is pretty good. I obviously believe the Bills can beat them, but let's not act like they're some mediocre team that hasn't shown the capability of hanging with us before. This reminds me of the December snow game where everyone was saying Tua can't throw in the winter elements. As I recall he played well and if not for the easy TD drop by Sherfield, Miami would have likely won that game

I had the misfortune of being at that Jags game in 2021. Can't decide what was worse, Land Clark's officiating or the stupid Duuuuval chants

Yes, as the season wore on he improved

I think it's likely we will get burned over the top by Hill or Waddle at some point. But to me that is preferable to sitting back and watching Miami complete 10-15 yard slants at will all game where Tua gets the ball out almost immediately after taking the snap

Fleezoid is right. Elam actually looked good in real games last year when given the opportunity. You are not going to have a prayer of slowing Miami down playing soft. The ball is coming out too quickly and their receivers are too fast. Incorporating some press coverage, while riskier, offers a better opportunity to get home against Tua by making him hold the ball just a bit longer. We need to be physical off the line against their smaller receivers, something which Elam excels at. I'll take a few holding penalties in exchange for throwing off their timing

Yeah but I'm order to do that they had to play soft coverage with 3 deep safeties and Mostert was able to run wild. I still can't forget that dude trampling us repeatedly in the snow last December

Sure Allen will put up his numbers, but can we stop their offense? We better, because a loss in week 4 puts the Bills in a massive hole in the division. Assuming both teams win next week, a Bills loss to the Fins in week 4 would leave Miami 4-0 (2-0 AFC East) and us 2-2 (0-2 AFC East). They would have essentially a 3 game lead with the head to head, which will be very hard to dig out of given the second half of our schedule is much more challenging than the first. And before we say look at last year, the largest deficit the Bills faced at any point (with tiebreakers) was 2 games. The Bills got back into it quickly because Tua got hurt against Cincinnati. If he stays healthy (and I realize its a big if), I'm not sure I like our chances to win the division. Week 4 is pretty close to a must win for the Bills imo
