It's when we put the jumbo package in in clear short yardage situations. Like 4th and 1 or 3rd and goal. I don't need Diggs in those demolition derbies. Averaging 1 yard a play on 11 plays, when you need one yard makes sense.

Well played 👏

So it took 4 guys,including a former NFL linebacker, to beat up one dude sitting down? Real tough guy there. Wouldn't expect anything more from such a 'legend' of a disgusting franchise. That is a Punk-A#s-B move. The only thing more laughable was the way that the Patriots game ended yesterday.

I endorse this tactic and many others to win. And oh yeah, that CMC guy is pretty good. Thanks for not getting him.

Neither do Baltimore fans. I think he started 9 games for them last year. Pretty bad when Baltimore and the Pack, who need WR the most, can't use your services. As for fans wanting him back here, for what? Watkins has a career 58% catch percentage. We are already complaining about dropped passes and injuries. Why add more drops and injuries?

NFL Network production values are garbage in general. They have a lot of rough edges to work out. Do they only have 2 cameras, and why are the camera angles so bad? cutting to commercial during a 2 pt conversion? Bad after game show, a lot of it is bad production. I thought the crew calling the game was the least of their problems. They didn't annoy me and had the right mix of energy IMO

From your lips to God's ears. I usually don't agree with you, but how can a Bills fan not see this? The defensive scheme is based on the Bills having some mythical double digit lead in each game. May not be the best scheme for a pair of 30+year old safeties and a small nickel back to be playing defacto LB in a one score game early on. Poyer, Johnson and Hyde have had 3 years of absolute abuse. Poyer is playing through ridiculous pain and injuries. I don't know how Johnson has held up, Hyde is on IR. How many times are these guys fighting off blocks, being the first to tackle etc?

I personally like Boogie. His big play % of snaps played is generally high. But he just hasn't transformed into an every down player. The fact they passed on Creed Humphries, a generational Center for him (and KC got him) makes me apoplectic. I am positive I have draft day posts about Creed Humphries. Beene does a lot right, but OL/DL drafting is spotty at best. That will hurt against a team like the Eagles who can do no wrong there.

I think we largely saw the same things. I just wanted to call out Taron Johnson's terrific 4th quarter. He stepped up on a night when a lot of defense was really bad, and the clear 3rd and long. The 3rd and 3? You and I would have run the ball. How long has it been since 3rd and 3 was a running down? Craziness.

Great Post!!! Agree with you 100% I think Poyer is the more physical/ capable of the two S, but Hyde is the better communicator, reactor. His skill set has been missed. Also agree Hamlin has been solid stepping in for an All Pro. Hamlin and Poyer were out of position compared to what Miami was doing all night. Was it defensive calls? Was it communication? Was it injuries and the elements? The only reason the loss of Hyde has not been devastating was because of Hamlin. He can play defense as designed, but does not diagnose as quickly as Hyde, and doesn't react as quickly as Poyer. It should come with time. Front seven..... so much invested. Oliver and Rousseau flash at times.. Basham and Epenessa make plays once in a while, but you have to get better steady contributors from 2nd rounders. The reason people are down on Edmunds is he has never played like #16 overall. If we got Edmunds in the 3rd or 4th we would all be pretty happy with him.

Agree with a bunch of this. But White is coming off an ACL, Milano is hurt and so is Poyer. Those are 3 of the better playmakers left in the back 7. I'm sure footing and injuries contributed to it. White was playing close, but not jamming. Milano took some very bad angles all night. Poyer and Hamlin were out of position all game compared to what Miami wanted to do. Credit to Miami. They regularly got our Safeties out of position and got big gains for it. Rare against a McDermott/ Frazier defense. To me the front 4 looked very bad in the first half. There was a significant drop off with Settle in for Jones. Lawson and Rousseau, who usually contain edges well or crash the middle looked really bad. Oliver was Missing in Action (MIA?!?) Taron Johnson had a monster game, as did D Jones. Edmunds was Edmunds. Made a few good tackles and was out of position/ swallowed up on others. Elam had some plays that could have been nullified by officials. Survive and play on!

So Miami had 3 drives in the 4th that I recall. Punt, FG, Punt. The FG was on a short field after the terrible fumble. 1st drive in the 4th (Punt). 3rd and 3 Taron Johnson (who I mentioned as having his best game of the season) defended a pass to Hill. Miami could have run, but let's give credit to Johnson who has had a shaky year. He had an excellent PD on one of those quick hitters Mahomes to Hill killed teams with. (see 0:13 seconds). McDaniels dialed up the 'Andy Reid special' and it failed. Good play by Johnson to diagnose it and stop it. To me that is better defense than a bad call by Miami. 2nd drive (FG) - 3rd and 1. Pass to a RB Smythe and T Johnson once again made the play. Agreed with you, dumb decision by Miami. Credit to T Johnson again for making the play. 3rd drive (Punt)- After giving up a big play Rousseau had a tackle after 1 yard gain. 2nd play Elam sniffed out a quick pass to Hill -3 yards. Good play rookie! 3rd and 12 is a passing play. It was incomplete to Waddle. (plus a declined penalty). So 2out of 3 could have been runs, agreed. But 3rd and 12, late in the game, is no running situation. Miami clearly wanted to pick on Taron Johnson and failed. Johnson stepped up, as I mentioned, and made big play after big play late in the game. That's how I see it.

It was CB play. I explained why above. That and the front 6-7 gap integrity was terrible.

Some notes: Hamlin had his worst game as a 'starting' pro as I saw it. Really bad in both phases, and I have been impressed with him in general. I noticed that Miami had more success running the ball when Settle was in at 3T for Jones. When D Jones was in, the runs were mostly normal 0-10 yard fare. Gap integrity and sealing edges was terrible all night. Oliver was invisible. He got swallowed up all night. T Johnson stepped up and had his best game of the season. In both aspects. Dane Jackson is bad. Elam played physical, and the refs allowed it. Can't expect that all the time. If he is a physical guy, put him close and jam the WR, or play off and let Elam and let his instincts/game study (which is said to be phenomenal) take over to tatoo guys or break up passes. Poyer and Milano looked injured and slow. Bad angles all night. White looked rusty. He was playing close to the LOS all night, which is fine but you have to make contact with a WR like Hill or Waddle if you are playing close to the LOS to jam/ slow down/ throw off timing. There is no way you can give Hill or Waddle a clean release and back peddle as quickly as Hill or Waddle will run forward. So play close and jam, or play back and not allow a big play. White played close, but refused to initiate contact. If he is uncomfortable making contact within 5 yards, you have to play him back. Simple Xs and Os. Despite all of the this Bills defense made the big stops in the 4th and gave Allen a chance to once again carry the team.

The defense was terrible for large stretches of the game, but they knuckled down and got stops in the 4th qtr when we needed them to. 3 pts allowed in the 4th quarter when it mattered.

Agreed blitzing Fields is a really bad idea.

WTF was that!?! Crazy ending

Happy to see it, but the Pats loss and Charger win means the Chargers are in the 7 seed, unless I am mistaken?

Chargers did not Charger the game! Herbert with a very good last minute drive. Chargers are still alive and well,and Titans in big trouble.

Yep, having a one game cushion versus them, even if there was a loss to Cincy would be a big help. I can still see KC stumbling at some point. Today's game vs. Houston shows why.

in other news the Chargers are up a TD now versus Tennessee. How great would it be for the Jags to catch the Titans?

With good reason. KC is only 1-5 vs Cincy and Buffalo the last 2 seasons. 0-3 vs Cincy 1-2 vs Buffalo Their one win was an OT thriller that needed an epic 0:13 drive.

It was the right call and play at the right time given the clock, TO remaining etc. The 1st down would have felt better, but a defender could have pushed him into the endzone. I am more a flow of game/momentum/take the points in most situations, but in this case analytics was right IMO. Buffalo has clearly improved in the late game/ time management situation. And the now the Bills are winning a lot of close games, against good teams on the playoff bubble (Jets/ Detroit/ Miami) which should build confidence and situational awareness when Buffalo plays payoff teams in close games. It's cardiac arrest, but the team needed to have success in these types of games.

If the Titans lose to the Chargers, the Jags still have a legitimate chance to win the AFC South 🙃 And Tannehill just taken off in a cart

1) Total Record 2) Head to Head 3) Divisional Record - Not Conference record Miami still has 2 divisional games to play, Buffalo has one. If Miami wins out they would be 11-6 with a 4-2 divisional record If Buffalo loses out they would be 11-6 with a 3-3 divisional record advantage would be Miami https://www.nfl.com/standings/tie-breaking-procedures
