Had so many doubts about this pick... if the Bills trainers can continue to help him build up that lower body strength and developing the habits to stay low the kid could really blossom into something special.
Fingers crossed his back holds up - when he was drafted with those back issues I was not expecting him to take as many snaps as he has. Expected they would need to ease him into the rotation, but it does not seem like they are coddling him at all. -
We have key guys out on defense, but surprised we did not do more against that suspect Dolphins O-line. Also did not expect their collection of DBs to be able to defend our WRs at all and not sure what they were doing to keep Allen checking things down will wait for Marino's all-22.
They were doing a good job with backside pursuit on our runs with Cook tripping him up in the backfield. Think that is why Brady went to more pitch plays to Cook in that final drive as a way to try to negate what they were doing, but they did a good job of turning him back inside against the LBs and pursuit.Those first few series it looked like our offense could not do anything wrong and the Dolphins were simply outclassed, but the Dolphins made some adjustments on D that seemed effective in taking away a lot of what Brady wanted to do.
Defensively we just need Oliver back healthy on that line and if there was any doubt we know what Tre is good at and where his ceiling is for sure. Had no chance against Waddle, I think he knows and his game now is about keeping things in front of him and trying to take good angles and avoiding getting burnt on the big plays, he also has stepped up his tackling, but he gave up plenty of 3rd downs and the Dolphins were looking for him.
I honestly just want to see Hairston on the field. When have we had that DB that can just blanket and lock down speedy receivers - it has been so long and if he pans out you have to wonder how much that will free up what they can do on defense.
Our Bills won folks and they have a long break to rest up and heal up some more.
Go Bills!

if Oliver and Milano make that big a difference on this team they better find and way to get them healthy and keep them healthy. because this is not a good defense without both. D-line has been extremely bad tonight.
Honestly Milano has missed so much time the past few seasons I am kind of used to not seeing him out there and it is not like he and Bernard were lighting it up against the Ravens.
Not having Oliver hurts, but a lot of valuable time on task for our rookies on the DL.

now its time to play big and win big here. Run it behind torrence and brown with cook and catch them with everyone up and let cook finish them off.
They are built on offense to specifically execute the 4 minute offense. Miami only has 2 timeouts so really they just need like 3 first downs and its over.
Run baby run... our big boys have to play big
Hawes time! -
Finally some relief for my poor ticker.
Jeeze Buffalo - your killing me finding so many ways to let Miami hang around. -

Shaq Thompson is our best defender!
Could hold a clinic on how to click and close on those plays out on the flat and finishing those tackles. -
Waddle on Tre - automatic

What odd timing with that domestic violence segment.
Yeah - usually the NFL is all about stressing how players are choir boys that was a really odd segue

lol how does the offense just disappear after moving the ball so easily? They could very easily lose this game to this garbage team
It feels like Miami is doing a pretty good job of stacking the box and mixing in some 2 deep or single high looks (mostly looks like single high as they are emphasizing trying to stop the run with an extra man in the box). Josh has not found anything deep and has been trying to take his outlet option.
Miami seems to be trying to lure Allen into taking those outlet passes and they are right there. They are doing a good job keeping the short completions from going anywhere or defending those passes.
Miami is also doing a decent job on run blitzes and we have gotten stuffed on more than a few. -
Tre cannot cover Waddle and they keep finding ways to get that matchup.
Sorry Tre - they found their Waldo in coverage. -
So tired of our smallish defense that cannot impose their will on anyone.
Benford shows how you defend the flats and tackle in space.
We need to get a few of those suspended pieces back Hoecht and defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi should help this rotation - and of course getting Oliver back
That should improve.-

Bills were confused
My usual nightmare scenario where McD calls a TO for the defense to discuss a 3rd down situation and how many times does the other team convert?
Dodged a bullet with Tua being Tua -
What was that play calling - com'on Brady
I love our short game, but he has to call a play now and then a little beyond the sticks. -

Did Rapp take out another one?????
It looked like he just took an elbow to the ribs - I hope he just got a stinger.

He's never the scapegoat! Its always an excuse
I am so looking forward to what Hairston will bring to this defense.
Tired of the DBs that have to back off so much and give so much cushion because they don't have the speed. Benford is good and a great tackler, but need a true running mate.
Tre is doing OK more in that safety kind of prevent the big gainer, but I don't think he can skate with better receivers any more-

Miami has all the juice, when do we get Bass back, no excuse for missing a chip shot
The dude is like 50 years old - he has plenty of excuses for missing a chip shot...cramps and old guy stuff.

McD at the half gives that sound bite that the offense has to score when they are down there.
and...your defense is doing what out there other than giving up 3rd down after 3rd down conversions?How about giving the offense the ball back.
Annoying.-

For some reason I feel like the "hard knocks" teams get jinxed each season.
In my mind it is becoming like the Maddon or Sports Illustrated jinx.
Not superstitious at all 😁-

Bills voted for the ban....interesting
All other AFC East teams voting against
It is interesting considering how much success we had running that play for short yardage.
I am sure it is related to protecting Allen, but he usually does not play like a guy trying to protect himself - although he did take more steps to avoid unnecessary collisions last season with more slides.
-
It was interesting to hear Jerry Ostrosky's take on the tush push having played in the NFL as an O-lineman.
He basically went back to football's rugby roots and said pushing the pile is just part of the game and should remain. When it came to player safety, he felt the scrutiny should land more on how the league wants to expand to more games and how they currently feature more games outside the traditional Sunday/Monday cadence which often end up creating short weeks and not enough down time for player recovery.
Mentioned that if the league wants to expand to more off-schedule games and more games in general they should also seriously consider expanding rosters to better accommodate that format (assuming he meant more player rotation bench strength and room on the roster for those PUP scenarios).-

Cincinnati because they have zero fear of our team.
Why would they? We haven't beaten them.
That is a monkey I would like to see this team get off their back - boils down to defense too. The last few meetings they ate up our defense that basically gave up everything underneath and waiting for their timing offense and receivers with good hands to make a mistake - ended up looking like a knife going through butter.
They just ate up yards, TOP, and scored on just about every possession.
Would like to see if this defense has evolved to challenge the 1st and maybe 2nd reads you have to take away with more elite QB play.

As long as he is not running down field routes on 4th downs in the playoffs he can be Lee Smith.
Despite the highlight reel someone pieced together for him catching passes downfield, I don't expect him to be much of a downfield threat.
We have TEs for that.
Opposing teams forgetting about him usually blocking and him slipping out for a quick few yards to move the chains I could see.

Bingo
Also, I am pretty sure that it may not be particularly easy to find a field stretcher, with good hands and catch radius, who is unselfish - what I mean is that he can play in an offense that distributes the ball and balances pass with the run without throwing a sideline or social media tantrum, that will be a good locker room presence, that also has early round grades.
There is likely more to it than some seem to be suggesting than just take a WR with talent early.

What is the opposite of complimentary football?
I felt like that was what I watched tonight.
