Allen showing a lot of faith in our rookie WR.

Wilkins is a boss on the Miami D line. The kid is good.

Fitz and the Dolphins O have owned the time of possession since half time and our offense has barely been on the field. One of are possessions was deep in our own end zone. Knox is out, so I am trying to be upset, but not sure how I feel. Want him to recover obviously, but don't think he was contributing much.

Way to go defense. . Why does this look like a replay of last season when Allen lead the league in 4th Qtr comebacks. The other side of that narrative is a defense that craps the bed and gives up the lead in the 3rd.

Not like they are getting the ball back a lot. Our D is making Fitz look like an all-star and has not gotten off the field. Glad for the stop, but our offense ended up starting in our own end zone... limits the options as you have to avoid the safety or easy turnovers for TDs

We need to flip this field.... have been playing in our own red zone feels like the whole 3rd

wow - they had that play totally diagnosed. We caught a huge break.

why can't we just watch the Bills blow someone out just once. I could take bathroom breaks, get more beer, pretend to listen to my wife a bit better, but NOOOO I have to sit on the edge of my seat nursing a heart attack the whole game. Even if we get off to a good start, I EXPECT our defense to start giving up scores and our offense to slow down. Time to start chewing the TUMS like candy.

man I am so glad they did not go to their TE on that play... he is eating our lunch.

As good as our defense was last year, they JUST DON'T SHUT THE DAMN DOOR. Arggggggg..... And their TE just made a one handed grab of a fast ball....

Oliver trying to trip someone and gets his leg destroyed. That was a Billsy thing.

Crap it is Oliver.

Too much cushion and allowing the timing routes to develop. Need our guys to press and disrupt these routes. Do that and we will dial up a Fitz turnover or two.

I want Miami's TE. Sorry - shouldn't say that, but the guy is eating our lunch right now.

I had concerns about Knox's hands coming out of ole Miss.... He is better than I thought he would be, but that elite consistency is just not there. I really think that is the missing piece of this offense, that big TE who can catch anything thrown his way and bail Allen out. Prove me wrong Knox please.... would gladly eat crow.

Flashback to last year. The announcers indicating that Fitz is targeting Wallace. Not going to dump on Wallace too much, but he needs to get a bit more physical. He does excel at playing zone and playing off receivers and making up ground in a hurry.

You can see how having a real TE helps. Fitz is starting to heat up, they need to keep those receivers from getting free releases. Its all timing routes right now, quick slants and such.

Darnold has not made a lot of progress under Gase. I am still not sold on the QB guru label Gase has had looking at how Ryan Tannehill has thrived after getting out from under Gase's tutilage. He may be just the opposite, the QB killer.

Watched Roethlisberger air mail a pass right between the numbers of a defender for an INT - thank god that wasn't Allen or it would be all you would see the talking heads talking about. Big Ben had like 8 seconds in the pocket too. All QB's have a few get away from them, not that Allen does not have elements of his game to work on, but I was always annoyed at the never-can-improve crowd. What a crock. It is now fact that Allen has pulled his accuracy numbers up a long ways from his college numbers. Probably will plateau to whatever his baseline will eventually be +/- some deviation over the next two years or so, but if that is the case it should be numbers that we fans can easily live with and he will only get more savvy with more time behind center in regards to when to throw it away and when to press as he sees more defenses and situations and takes some of the edge off that inner hero and reckless drive that can lead to negative plays. Spending time in a very complex offense with Daboll also bodes well for Allen if Dabs ever leaves for another gig - Allen would likely have an easy transition into another offense if he needed to.

He needs to do a better job securing the ball and had issues last year so I don't think he gets the benefit of the doubt. That being said, I think you are right and his knee and elbow too (have to see the replay again) hit the ground before the ball came out and if it had been ruled a fumble it was recovered by Spain.

..... and now lightning. Only with my Bills - blackouts first and now this.

Need to tighten up on those blitzes

Josh showing some confidence loss with Knox.... Just my opinion, but he needs Knox to be much better and with Knox putting 2 on the carpet that cannot help but get into a QB's head. I think Allen may have tried to hit Knox on that last 2 min scramble to his left, but kept it and tried to make all those yards on his own.

Better to just to go to an objective research think tank and pull the data. This is a Pew research data base that categorizes news media outlets by Left, Left-Center, Least Biased, Right-Center, Right, Pro-Science, Conspiracy-Pseudoscience, Questionable Sources, Satire, Re-evaluated Sources, Country Profiles. One could watch Fox and complain how far left CNN is, but Fox is just as bad in the other far right direction with slanting stories emphasizing what they know will rile up their base. Sensationalism generates the clicks and the ad revenue and they are both irresponsible and guilty of doing just that. Maybe we all should spend a bit more time away from the slant machines and visit those poor revenue-starved "Least Biased" news outlets and support their efforts. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/center/ APNEWS.com is one that I know and is rated least biased, plenty there that I have not really heard of, but perhaps should take the time to get to know them better.

All football aside, this chapter in life's journey is a painful one. Condolences Belichick family and RIP
