If Shakir was able to hang onto a ball and Josh was a little more accurate on those deep balls the Bills would have hung a 50 burger on the Fish.
At least…people are so used to teams selling out to stop the deep ball but Miami did the opposite. Had to take the shots in single coverage on the outside because receivers in the middle of the field were getting mauled.

The 4th down timeout while I cursed it immediately wheb I saw the replay it was 100% the right call. The Bills defense was not set at all the Dolphins had 3 guys wide open right off the line. Skylar Thompson made a poor low percentage throw but man if he makes a good one even a short slant to the other side it could well have gone the distance. Judging it once you know the outcome, sure you'd like it back.... but that is a play you use a timeout. 4th down big moment and your D isn't close to set
Idk if it’s because I had a great view of that play or what lol but waddle was wiiiiide open on that throw and it was hardly low percentage
48 minutes ago, Sierra Foothills said:A few people I know didn't like the play calling on that possession but it's also true that Davis was behind the defense on both those passes. Josh underthrew him on the first one and overthrew him on the second one. A better pass on either play is a touchdown.
The weird part of the game for me was the role the sun played on deep throws. I believe that the opening deep drop by Waddle, the failure of John Brown to breakup the deep interception, and the drop by Khalil Shakir were all a function of having the sun in their eyes.
I just don’t get people anymore lol the dolphins were single covering guys on the outside to load up the middle and they were repeatedly getting burned… we don’t think we should’ve thrown those passes because we had previously thrown a deep pass? 😂.
Usually the opposing defense forces us underneath if we want to take those throws to take away the deep stuff but the dolphins did the opposite. they were giving us the deep throws and hoping their pass rush got home in time and it was a mixed bag…they got tons of pressure but narrowly avoided us scoring like 21 more points lol

Not sure I've seen anyone look for style points. Had this been a clean 34-31 game without the usual turnovers, it wouldn't be as worrisome.
But as we've seen ALL YEAR, the Bills turn the ball over a LOT. Pretending that's not a huge red flag, especially against better teams, is silly. Giving a 3rd string, late round rookie 18 points off turnovers isn't a recipe for success.
I've already seen a ton of posts online from Chiefs & Bengals fans saying they're hoping to play the Bills now. What fans say doesn't matter, but it's pretty clear they're not scaring anyone.
Bengals didn’t look so hot tonight lol and the chiefs have been barely beating terrible teams all year so who are they to talk?
Neither of the picks today were really bad decisions imo…looked like brown got lost on the deep throw and the throw to Beasley was at worst a good defensive play and at best pass interference.
I’m on the other side honestly if we had won a clean game 34-31 against the dolphins I’d be a lot more worried

JA will get us to the playoffs every year. I’m not concerned about that.
But the ante is upped in the playoffs. JA has to be better than Burrow and Mahomes now. The bar isn’t set at Skylar Thompson and Tyler Huntley.
Allen had a critical turnover that gave Miami 7 points. Same mistakes could cost us against the best competition.
I’m not sure who else is pulling that defensive gameplan off on the afc side of the playoffs at least. of course those other teams offenses are going to move the ball more easily than Miami did today though.
Miami has been wildly underperforming but they have a ton of talent on the defensive side especially up front. Jaelan Phillips/Christian Wilkins/Bradley chubb up front is pretty brutal then they’ve got Melvin Ingram who they can rotate in.
missing link for them has been Xavien Howard playing hurt but he looked pretty healthy today. Kc’s entire front 7 is one guy and the bengals don’t seem to be getting a lot of push up front lately either

He needs to fix the mistakes and not press. The deep pick and the handoff to Cook that josh should have kept were big mistakes. Tbh, he needs to relearn how to take checkdowns. It ok to take 5 yards a pop. That will open up the intermediate and deep game and negate the blitz
I didn’t really see too many missed checkdowns this particular game honestly. Not sure if that’s just me though lol Miami was committing on all the underneath stuff and forcing us to go deep hoping josh wouldn’t have time to set up on the deep throws
-
I had a pretty good view of a lot of this game and idk if today was different or what but I just did not see these ‘open receivers underneath’ everyone talks about lol. The dolphins defense played a heck of a game with a big assist from the refs just deciding not to call 95% of the holds.
they were clogging up the middle and single covering the outside receivers for a lot of the game.

This is an absolutely wild play call on 3rd and 1, not in a good way. Allen and shakir saved it with a hell of a throw and catch.
Watch Dawson Knox get chucked like 6 yards back towards the line of scrimmage and that is a little hint of why we were seeing deeper routes lol the receivers in the middle of the field were getting absolutely mugged all game long.
that was a legal play but many were not 😂

Looking forward to mcdumass being out coached by mcdaniel for next 5 yrs.
If the Dolphins get a QB , they will own us
McDaniel trying to throw backed up way in his own end zone on third down with a third string qb might’ve been the worst coaching decision of the year. Just edges out McDaniel trying to force throws in the red zone the last time they played us
he’s just not a very good coach…I don’t understand they hype at all. This dolphins team was stacked and they put their qb in harms way far too many times and he could not figure out his defense that is loaded with playmakers for 17 weeks
mcdaniel is going to be ok / not great and replaced by Sean Payton in a couple years imo

No Josh struggled. He has not learned anything in 4 years. His three TO's kept Miami in this game. Although the one INT is iffy. Those two balls should never have been thrown.
Lol one of those hit Beasley right in the chest, one his offensive line blocked absolutely no one, and one looked like brown ran the wrong route/lost the football.
Josh won that game for us…dolphins were jamming/holding all our underneath receivers all game forcing us to try to hit on those outside throws before their pass rush got home.
if you didn’t want him taking outside shots in single coverage, we would’ve scored 0 points
22 minutes ago, Beck Water said:If he hadn’t called them and the Dolphins got easy yards or points because we were out of alignment, you’d be screaming at your TV for that reason so
Lol seriously…this is the ultimate example of hindsight is 20/20. Watching that ball fly towards a wide open jaylen waddle had me begging he called timeout 😂.
that looked like a backbreaker from section 141 lol

Not since Roquan was picked up but yes the Bills D is good. Ravens are not giving up 31 to Skylar and those Dolphins though. But with Cincy having no oline the Oliver and company should have big games.Did the bills give up 31 to Skylar? Lol there was one pretty good offensive drive for Miami and the rest was all short fields/ a fumble six.
3 total tds, one was a defensive score, one td drive started on the 18.
two of their fg drives started in very good field position due to bad special teams play/an interception. Their offense hardly did anything
that game was all about the boom or bust Miami defense

How about the corner back committed pass interference that wasn't called.
And no it's not Beasley's fault he's small that would be the fault of Bills management who have been unable to put bigger WR's on the field. You know guys like Hodgins whose lighting it up for the Giants.
Dolphins were holding all game…the nfl not throwing any flags in the playoffs really syncs up with them jamming all our receivers in the middle of the field and single coverin the outside routes

In fairness having looked at it if Miami went to the left they had guys WIDE open. D was not set. In the end Thompson never looked that way.
Waddle had a td there…timeout looked brilliant when the ball was in the air lol

What's that all about? The weather isn't even really bad by Buffalo in winter standards.
People assuming it will be a lousy blowout? It's the playoffs man! GET OUT THERE PEOPLE!
Probably resellers that got too greedy and couldn’t unload their tickets in time…I bought tickets last week and have been checking periodically throughout the week and there was nothin cheap
guaranteed there’s people waitin to scoop them up last minute for that reason

I could be wrong as I typically am, but I thought burrow was saying that in regard to playing after Hamlin got hurt.
Reporters have said that the bengals players were talking about maybe not playing the following week

Lost 3 in the 2nd Dolphins game. Went in with Bates out, Van Roten at RG. Lost Morse, moved Van Roten to C, brought Quess in at RG. So 3rd string C, 3rd ???? string RG (I think after the game, Quessenberry said he hadn't played guard in like, forever)
We were down 4 olinemen by halftime in the first matchup too lol. No morse to start then lost bates, brown, and van roten

The unknown bothers me. Probably PTSD from the drought era Bills making backup QB’s look like all-stars.
He hasn’t looked awful from what I’ve seen of him but their offensive line is very banged up too so things haven’t been easy for him.
they could be missing 2 starting olinemen and several depth guys.

More interesting is how their D last year was 1st in a lot of categories. And they wilted against kc. Very fearful of this years D against good passing O linebacker play wasn’t nearly as good last year and tre white seems to be improving every week. Tre/Dane Jackson and elam will hold up better against kc than Levi Wallace/Dane Jackson did last year imo if we were to see them again
Our linebacker play wasn’t nearly as good last year and tre looks like he’s improving every week. I’d take tre at 80% and a combo of elam/Dane Jackson over Levi Wallace and Dane Jackson.
a team like kc is gonna score their points we just need to get a few more stops than they do

Thought the same thing when I read it. Journalism at its finest!
Disagree about the fish. With a healthy line up they’re a good 10-11 win team.
We’ll have to see what happens next year…the defense is bad and the offense seems like it may have been figured out (when tua plays).
If we’re grading them with injuries turned off it would make sense to match them up with other healthy teams. The bills and ravens would’ve won those two early season games but I think a healthy dolphins team would’ve won the Vikings, jets and patriots games. So 10 wins sounds right for this season but we’ll see about next year
-
I don’t think Miami would’ve been nearly as successful on defense if we didn’t lose a boatload of offensive line starters in the first matchup and a few in the second matchup
the offensive depth chart in the second half of our first game against them was laughable

Eye roll all you want. It’s true. What’s more likely in paths to victories over nfls best teams ?
Greg rousseu a power rusher only with no one opposite him (spare me the what about shaq! He’s a JAG) to suddenly put instant pressure / winning against elite passing offenses consistently ?
or Josh Allen going off and offense becoming explosive ?
DO NOT expect this D to look good this playoffs. All the stats last year said they were #1 or 2 and they were god awful and historically mind numbningly bad in clutch :13 winning scenario. Their lineup is worse than last year.
The lineup is not worse than last year…Milano and edmunds are playing much better than last season, Rousseau is playing out of his mind. Daquan jones is playing well. Ed oliver is playing well enough to draw doubleteams.
Corner was not good last year after White got hurt too so there’s no change there…I still think white at 80% is better than anyone else we’ve had at corner the last two years. we have more depth there this season too. The only real negative compared to last year is no Micah hyde but everything else more than offsets that.

Blowouts were the expectation and standard at the beginning of the season. Bills were the consensus Super Bowl juggernaut (according to Eisen, they were coming for your soul). They have a great record, but the dominance vanished. No wire to wire blowouts is concerning in that context.The ‘coming for your soul’ rich risen monologue was with the understanding that we absolutely destroyed a superbowl caliber rams team and great titans team
Neither were good teams. We saw a better version of the rams than they had down the stretch but they still had big holes on their roster that we exploited.

I really didn’t see a lot of open underneath receivers honestly…and on a few plays where there were it was a situation where gabe Davis had two steps against single coverage or shakir was wide open for a 50 yard gain or something like that. If you don’t want your qb taking those shots he shouldn’t be starting.
He certainly has had games where he passed up underneath attempts for risky deep throws before but the game yesterday was not a good example of that
it was really the short throw to Beasley that sunk his game…a deep int is not the end of the world it’s pretty similar to a punt.
miami was very handsy on all the routes and it was effecting the underneath receivers the most
