What absolutely hate more than anything is when they bring up charges that were dropped/dismissed already.

TB also recovered the forced fumble by Oliver in the Ravens game. Iced the regular season game against the Chiefs last year. Forced the Mark Andrews fumble in the playoffs, a huge turning point in that game. And many more I can’t think of at the moment. He’s got that clutch gene you want in a defensive leader.

Terrible human being, but you can’t deny Tyreek Hill’s talent level. That was a great catch

I’ve been burned too many times. Let’s wait this one out and enjoy the regular season.

Very rarely can a defensive player win games all on their own. Taron Johnson pick 6 on Lamar Jackson remains one of the best Buffalo sports moments of all time. Going into the 4th quarter the Offense was sputtering and Baltimore on a long back breaking drive in the red zone about to tie the game up. Taron jumps the route and FLOORS it. Took a risk taking it out of the end zone, but delivered. 14 point swing just like that. What a moment. This was before the Bills were perennial playoff contenders too so the moment was even better because I wasn’t used to the success yet.

That is a WILD statement. Taron Johnson is only one year removed from being a 2nd team All Pro. If you want to get on him about his recent injuries then fine I get that, but when healthy he is as good as any Nickel in the game.

I understand and that’s a good point, but they didn’t assist the Ravens beforehand by calling timeouts for them in the red zone and giving them ample time to set everything up to score.

I just hope they are keeping their playbook hidden for the most part until they really need to start opening up against the better teams.

Clock management is hands down McDermott’s worst trait as a coach. Those time outs during the end of the half were ridiculous. Did they really think they were going to do much with 30 seconds and no time outs ? Even if that’s your goal then let Miami use THEIR time outs first. They executed that drive perfectly for the TD and left 11 seconds for us. The non-challenge on the bobbled Tyreek catch. If a normal fan can see it from their couch then there is no excuse for an NFL coach. Drive led to 7 points. Just mind boggling. I hope they learn from these mistakes because you can’t be pulling that crap in the playoffs.

I disagree. At least they made the kick off return a viable part of the game again which had been lacking since the days of Devin Hester. I just think teams need to come up with better strategies on kick off coverage. With teams starting at the 35 and how good kickers are, it only takes about 25-30 yards to get into FG range. If I am a returner I am downing it every chance I get. Kickers should start working with the punters more to work on ball placement and directional kicking which are now much more important. I actually think it’s exciting as kickers now need to develop whole new skill sets instead of just booming it into the end zone like they did in previous years.

I know Walker’s pressure caused the interception. I meant the tip itself really didn’t affect the ball that much as Tua was throwing it towards Bernard anyway.

I think it would’ve been an interception either way. Tua completely missed Bernard. Walker might’ve even made it harder to catch by tipping it

“Replace James Cook with a Kenneth Walker type then this team becomes a 3-14 team.” “Replace Josh Allen with a Geno Smith or a Sam Darnold and we are suddenly a 7-9 team.” Yes, when you replace your STAR players with average journeymen your offense suffers. Truly groundbreaking stuff there… If Beane gets crap for his bad picks then he should get credit for the good ones. James Cook and Josh Allen are both top 5 at their respect positions. Without Beane, this franchise would be exactly where Miami is now. Edit: I also wanted to add… If Darnold ended up in Buffalo I am certain that his development would’ve been much better here. I’m sure he wishes he ended up here 😭

The lack of deep shots was mind boggling. This has been going on for a couple of years now. I mean ever since Gabe Davis left (and Dorsey to an extent) we have seen this offense totally transform.

Yes. White had an up & down game, but look at the end result. 21 points allowed, 88 combined yards between Hill/Waddle. Those 3rd down conversions by Miami made me want to rip my hair out, but @Joe Marino made a good point. That type of production would probably win most if not all of the games this year. I keep reminding myself that it’s a divisional game against a team that knows us very well. Miami was staring down the barrel of 0-3. Since 1990, only 6 teams have went on to make the playoffs with that record. If Google is correct, the Dolphins have a 2.5% of getting in after their loss. The timing couldn’t be anymore perfect as their schedule gets drastically easier the next 4 weeks. Miami threw the kitchen sink at us and still couldn’t get it done. They were a cornered animal fighting for their playoff hopes. Those are the hardest teams to beat IMO

AJE is good for 6-7 sacks a year as a rotational player. That is darn good production for someone who sees so little playing time. He is also solid against the run. AJ plays well against Miami and has rocked Tua multiple times. I can’t say enough how frustrating it is that he wasn’t being played especially when the Bills were getting torched on those 3rd and longs.

McDermott doesn’t play around. Doesn’t take much to land a player in the dog house. He was greatly missed on those 3rd and longs.

I stated in my OP that he is what is at this point which is solid depth. Hairston is the future, but White is the present. Hopefully, he will be up to speed come play off time.

Agree 100%. Tre White knows how to play Tyreek Hill. They have been going against each other since his Kansas City days and were drafted within 1 year of one another. Sometimes you don’t match up speed against speed.

I thought Tre White had a solid game. Made some key tackles and passes defended. Now that he’s completely over his injury it’s clear that he lost a step, but I think his experience & leadership will prove useful down the stretch. He is what he is at this point which is solid depth, but still a former All Pro that receivers must respect.

I want to see Epenesa in there more often. Groot has been underwhelming so far. Having some fresh legs in there might make a big difference. Also don’t discount Ed Oliver’s absence and the impact on the guys around him.

I don’t feel down. McDaniel is goofy, but he called a fantastic game. It’s the players who ultimately lost. I understand the roughing the kicker penalty and how hard it is to stop your entire body momentum, but the interception was inexcusable. McDaniel threw everything he had at us and put Miami in position to tie it up and possibly win if they went for 2. I actually gained some respect for their coach.

Allen, Cook, Bernard

Glad Prater got his redemption. People here already crying about Bass after dismissing him 2 weeks ago.

The way they changed the spot on that first down so quick and efficiently angers me. Why couldn’t they do that in the playoffs against the Chiefs ? Evidence was there.
