I can fully admit I have drought ptsd
Imagine the ptsd Miami fans have watching josh Allen march down the field though lol he’s done it his whole career against them
his worst game against them is 366 total yards 2tds 2 ints (should’ve been 3 td and like 50 more yards)

It's not like he said something we weren't all thinking at those same moments on those first couple of drives. He may need to not be so sensitive, and some people need to stop acting like they never had concerns. You're not less of a fan because you recognize the other team is cookin. I know I had some nerves but I also had a feeling Buffalo was going to pull ahead eventually.
I was absolutely thinking the opposite and I’m on record saying it in the gameday thread lol
it was objectively harder for Miami to score than buffalo those first few drives…I think some of y’all are biased due to past football related traumas 😂
The bills were absolutely steamrolling the dolphins. The dolphins had a couple flukey plays drop in to sustain drives on offense early

now i wonder how many wrong routes and other mistakes Tyreek made against us yesterday.
And i wonder if Tua's comments are partly also directed at the Head Coach, who may be coddling the players.
He does seem like he’d be the type that’s a little too much of a players coach

Poor guy.
Idk where he’s getting that from…the dolphins had a supremely lucky play go their way on the first two drives. The bills had absolutely 0 difficulty scoring on offense it was pretty clear sal had that tweet backwards. Nothing really changed at all their luck just ran out

I’m starting to feel better about the bengals playoff loss retroactively. Daquan jones is probably a top 2 player on the team and he was out for that one. The dude is an absolute animal

Not sure how much of a genius Fangio is if he needs like all-pros at every position on the field to make his defense work.
we could have scored 70 points if he had to. They put up no real resistance.
Oh he ain’t a genius by any means lol that was never in question. Idk that I’d put the blame squarely on him is all I’m trying to say. That defensive roster is bordering on inept

That really was a season saver as far as winning the division goes. If we lost that one we’d essentially be down 3 games because even if we evened up by winning the rematch in Miami we’ve still got that jets loss haunting our division record lol 2022 we were both 2-0 when we lost to them the first time so not quite as scary

I don't think the problem is Vic Fangio himself.
It's how his scheme fits the Dolphins roster (or should I say doesn't fit).
Very possible that we are witnessing a lose-lose situation. Yes, the Broncos miss what Fangio brought to their defense. But at the same time, his system is a poor fit for Miami's player skills.
I could absolutely see that…he definitely came in and begged for a corner I’m sure which got him Ramsey. That dolphins defense isn’t really well suited for anybody haha I’m not sure what their front office has been doing on that side of the ball
they’ve def gotten plenty of offensive returns on the tyreek trade but there were just so many holes on that defense. Xavien Howard needed to return to form for them to have a shot at halfway decent but he’s been declining for awhile now

I actually think their super aggressive defensive scheme of the last few years is far better than whatever we saw out there on Sunday.Yea they certainly couldn’t have done much worse lol their corners are atrocious though so he was probably worried about them holding up if he kept adding pass rushers. Dorsey definitely ate his lunch motioning diggs around to get him one on one with Kohou

You're right about one thing, Sean cost us the 13 second game, but not how you suggest.
Sean overruled the squibb kick and called the D during the :13 debacle.
Y'all continue to blame Leslie for everything.
I think the timeout he took gave mahomes and Kelce time to talk about how the bills were lined up too so I’d blame McDermott for a few things. Not sure if we called a timeout then made 0 adjustments lol
1 minute ago, Alphadawg7 said:Disagree. Dorsey was a major issue last year and he has made mistakes this year like the throwing it on 4th and inches debacle when a sneak has a SUBSTANTIALLY higher success rate.
But, it looks like BOTH Allen and Dorsey looked at what was working and what wasn't working week 1 and finally made some adjustments. Part of being a great OC is getting on the same page with your players.
It is still a long season, and Dorsey needs to show he can both maintain this and make adjustments when teams eventually make their own adjustments to what we are doing with a high degree of success right now.
As someone who has been critical of Dorsey's issues last year and things earlier in the season, I have no problem admitting that this was his best game ever as an OC where the game plan was there and the team executed it at a high level. If this is what we get from Dorsey moving forward, this offense will be unstoppable. But we need to see him sustain this when teams come up with counters to what we are doing, and that was probably the what he was worst at last year.
I’m gonna soft disagree on week 1 this year but dorsey def had issues last year. The first half of the jets game things went exactly by design and it was more than good enough to win but it felt like josh just got frustrated they weren’t moving the ball up to his standards and he started just winging the ball all over the place
could be a conspiracy theory but I still feel like josh just didn’t have the touch for underneath throws in traffic with his elbow injury last year…idk if that’s just wishful thinking or not 😂

I never understood the hype about Vic Fangio this offseason.
It really reminded me of us years ago, bringing in Rex Ryan to an extremely talented defense. He was supposed to take us to the next level. But his system never fit with the players on the roster, and it never meshed on the field.
Some coordinators seem to ride the coattails of really talented players for awhile then the league eventually learns their lesson and they stop getting jobs lol
at least with someone like McDaniel their offensive play design has been objectively great so you know what he’s brought to the table as a coach. But some of these hirings around the league are real head scratchers at times
it’s anecdotal but that Denver defense has imploded with fangio gone so who knows who’s to blame. It’s possible he just inherited a defense not well suited to what he likes to do too or maybe a little bit of that and he’s also a bit overrated
Xavien Howard is washed and he doesn’t have Ramsey yet so I’d think they’d improve a little bit later in the season at the very least. Kohou got abused playing outside

DL wouldn't be able to see it. All the short motion outside is completely out of their view. It's possible an off-ball rusher could time those, but it turns into the same type of situation with the New England FG block that everyone was enamored with - as long as there is variation in it offensively it's not something you can time up.
Linebackers can though and we brought a lot of simulated pressure with linebackers blitzing and DL dropping it seemed like to me. I’ve gotta watch the all 22 which I will be happy to do since there’s not much better than watching us blow out the dolphins 😂
that late sack absolutely seemed like a LB jumped the snap due to timing his rush based on the motion but maybe that was more of a one off thing and that one play stood out to me more than it should have though. Can’t remember who it was but they got a big time running start

They could have traded the pick for a vet player, while they might have missed on the Chubb trade they definitely injected a lot of talent to their offense by trading a first for Hill. Just losing the asset for nothing hurts badly.
Oh yea I am definitely pro hill trade for them he’s a lot of what makes that offense work, it just took away a lot of their safety net if they missed on a few picks/trades and sped up the timeline on when their window of being competitive opened up. I don’t think he’s a guy they’ll ever be able to replace and idk how long a burner wr can be at max effectiveness without losing a step.
I think the jets were built in a way where they could get a couple years out of rodgers and draft a guy to take over and they’d be competitive longer than the dolphins. of course who knows now with the rodgers injury they might fall into the infinite loop of drafting a qb and throwing them to the wolves with that bad offensive line

The Brady one hurts badly. At least Chubb was a solid young player when they acquired him. That move could still be productive. But that Brady one basically cost them a first round pick for nothing.
Oh yea that’s impossible to argue cuz the Brady tampering they lost a first for no return lol
chubb was such a weird trade though they are loaded with pass rushers…I think they thought they had a chance to mask their lb/cb coverage issues if they just brought the house often which gave them a path to playoff success but it just didn’t work out that way. These great afc qbs are athletic and can buy themselves time which exposes all the issues on the back end of their defense
even if tua was healthy and they snuck by us there’s no shot they were beating the chiefs too that kc oline was too good last year.

Imagine trading a 1st round pick and signing Bradley Chubb to 5/$110M, and then the Bills go out and sign Leonard Floyd in FA for $7M.
Life is good.
They absolutely tanked their rebuild with that trade and the Brady tampering. Those two firsts could’ve gone a long way if used correctly
the hill trade they traded pretty much all their wiggle room if they made a front office misstep for a great player
If they added a linebacker that’s a beast in coverage and a good corner to play across from Ramsey Kohou could go back to the slot where he belongs and their defense would have a shot at being good-

So Allen finished wit ha perfect 158.3 passing rating. I don't follow that level of detail much, so is that a somewhat common thing league wide? Like typically on any given Sunday does one QB in the league have a perfect rating? Or is it once a month it might happen, twice a year?? How rare/common is it?
Not common at all, requires a very high completion percentage and yards per attempt. You need over 77.5% completion percentage, no ints, and 12.5 yards per attempt
tua did not hit the max in the 70 point game against the broncos that should tell you how hard it is haha Mike white hit it on two passes though 😂

How does Allen get a "perfect" passer rating with four misses? I'm not familiar with the calculation.
It’s a crazy mathematical formula based on yards per pass and completion percentage and turnovers
a perfect score requires 77.5% completion percentage, 12.5 yards per attempt, no ints. There’s quite a few steps along the way where if you are over a certain number it gets rounded down so you don’t need to complete every pass to hit the max number

Video player went into the next video and I guess Dorsey was also their coach of the week, which awesome he was great, but how is it not McDermott honestly?
It’s an awkward situation where people are likely gonna blame the dolphins for not being as good as people thought more than giving credit to the bills defense.
it’s entirely possible that the dolphins offense is that good and McDermott put together a masterful gameplan though.
people only really remember 13 seconds and the bengals smoking us in the playoffs which is not surprising but the bills have had some stellar defensive performances in big games too. That 17-3 playoff win over the ravens was pretty impressive and he has made mahomes look pretty bad the last few meetings too
obviously yesterday was a great effort on the defensive side as well

The Jets are the worst match up for us. They can pressure and stop the run with their front 4 and have DBs that can play man or zone if they want to bring an extra rusher.
They force offenses to be very patient, and that has been our Achilles heel. I don't expect any offense to hang a lot of points on them so that is just how you have to play them.
They have invested so heavily on defense that the kind of offense they can run is limited. They nailed a very good running back and if he had stayed healthy their ball control offense would have been a nasty compliment to their stingy defense.
Weak sauce on that flag on Sauce last night, but DBs are getting away with a lot of contact this year. Refs can throw the hanky on just about any play and Gardner had a hook on the receiver at his break so got the call.
They could throw it anytime and chose that key drive.
I just can’t understand why the dolphins didn’t look at what the jets are doing and try to emulate it. The dolphins are 100% win now from a front office perspective but their team needs to rely on winning a shootout against josh Allen and the bills defense to win the division. their team is built completely backwards to compete with the top dogs in the AFC. Tua is not gonna win a shootout/track meet against mahomes or josh Allen. If the bengals don’t get their offensive line turned around the dolphins match up pretty well with them at least because pretty much all they’ve loaded up with on the defensive side is pass rushers
the jets could pick up a veteran qb for relatively cheap and they are at the same level of being a contender as the dolphins…it may be less fun to watch than what the dolphins are doing but who cares
-
Their team is vastly underperforming the last few years based on the resources they’ve spent and nobody is really talking about it
they are in firm ‘win now’ territory from a front office perspective but the team still has massive holes. Blowing that first on Bradley Chubb and losing a first for Brady tampering sunk them
when tyreek starts to decline they are a 5 win team

History tells us he is guaranteed to have another brain fart Jets type game this year. He goes off the rails at least a couple times per year. That's why he doesn't win MVP. But the only MVP we should care about is Superbowl MVP!
I think it’s been weather/his elbow injury last year…we’ve had more bad weather games than anyone the last few years and it’s mostly just bad luck cuz it’s the away games too 😂
when you’re in an mvp race 5 or 6 games in pouring rain or high winds are a death sentence

I could see Tua having by far the best QB stats this year, because the Dolphins are going to stat pad against bad and middle of the road defenses.
Won’t matter come playoff time though.
If armstead or Connor Williams are out for an extended period I think his mvp chances are out the window. Even a lot of the bad/mediocre teams in the league have good defensive lines. They’ve still got:
chiefs
jets x 2
eagles
cowboys
titans
Commanders
Bills with von miller
patriots
ravens
Can’t play the broncos every week lol and his competition for mvp has 1 or 2 games against the broncos remaining
Chiefs have two against the broncos and two against the raiders. Honestly mahomes winning mvps should come with an asterisk at this point, josh has 4 games against two of the best defenses in the league, tua has 6 games against three of the best defenses in the league, burrows got 4 against good defenses no idea what to make of the Steelers yet, mahomes has 6 games a year against bad defenses

Just take a look at the stats page for QBs, and you’ll see that the top is all bunched up.Allen is currently #6 in yards, #1 in comp % (Lamar Jackson is essentially tied though), #5 in YPA, tied for #2 in TDs with 3 other QBs. Tied for #3 in passer rating with Herbert just behind.
As of today, MVP is probably looking like:
- Tua
- Allen
- L. Jackson
- Mahomes
- Purdy
- Herbert
Russell Wilson actually has an identical passer rating to Allen right now with 9 TDs and 2 INTs (although I think garbage time might have something to do with that).
Josh has also been pulled early/has just run out the clock in 3 straight games because his team is absolutely destroying people. He’s the leader of an offense who’s point differential is comically large
haven’t looked it up yet but I’d guess josh is a slight mvp favorite right now.
The mvp odds aren’t just a snapshot of who has the best stats at the current moment either, they have to bake some future predictions into it as well. For that reason I doubt tua is even 2. The offensive line discrepancy between the bills and chiefs vs the dolphins is massive so it’s really hard to envision tua winning the mvp when you’re trying to predict out the rest of the season
Hypothetically… Brian Daboll gets the boot….
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by Generic_Bills_Fan
If Daboll had serious elbow injury josh/2022 bills oline his offense would’ve been considerably worse than dorsey’s imo.
I think Daboll is going to go down as one of the more overrated head coaching candidates in recent history. That first year is gonna be his pinnacle
McDaniel is bordering on overrated for me too but that’s more of a ‘he’s very good but people are saying he’s some kind of genius’ situation. They just don’t beat playoff caliber opponents but his track star team is well suited to blowing out bottom feeders. He’s now 2-6 in the regular season against playoff teams(assuming the bills make it this year) and those two wins were flukey, very narrow wins over the ravens and bills who were decimated by injuries. The bills outgained them by like double the yards in that loss despite being down to backups or the backups of backups at nearly every position
I don’t think McDaniel should be crowned for scoring a bunch of points against horrible teams because in the grand scheme of things your performance against the good teams is really all that matters especially when you’re all in like the dolphins front office is. They are in cap hell the next few years
He deserves a lot of credit for designing a successful offense with a bad offensive line built around a qb that can’t use the whole field or do much of anything when the pocket is collapsing but at some point when do you start blaming the OC/head coach when tua doesn’t get better at those things. If his first read isn’t open within a second or two of the snap the chances the play will be successful drops to pretty much 0. Tua hasn’t improved at all under McDaniel the system is just really successful at masking his issues against bad/mediocre defenses
