Von did win us the KC game, no question. Rousseau is going to have to step upVon probably wouldn’t have been needed if Isaiah McKenzie didn’t make it his personal mission to try and lose that game lol that should’ve been a comfortable win

What doesn "No One Can't Stop Josh Allen" even mean?
Is that like "Nobody Doesn't Like Sara Lee"?
One day these people that are payed lots of money to analyze football will realize that qbs aren’t just playing in a vacuum and their success depends on a lot of other positions on the field. There’s maybe one other guy in the league that could do what Josh is doing with what he’s had to work with.
If you put josh behind that chiefs oline he would be breaking records every season.

I was with you for a bit there but then we got to no comfortable wins and dolphins should have beat the bills and then I'm out on lionel hutz
What is the definition of a comfortable win for these people lol. Does it have to be a wire to wire blowout? Cuz those are pretty rare

This dude could legitimately retire if he placed a sizable bet on the dolphins to make the AFC championship right now and ended up being right somehow 😂.
+600 this week and probably would be about the same next week

Their chances are about the same with Bridgewater and Thompson. I was giving them 50/50 odds if Tua started. We played two, really tough games against each other this year. With the other two, I have it 80/20 favoring the Bills. Our offense would have to implode for them to win, specifically Josh would have to play his worst game in a long time. I just don't see it.
50/50 is quite generous imo. I don’t think they can really stop us when our offensive line isn’t an absolute tire fire and we we were down multiple offensive line starters against them both meetings. First matchup we would’ve absolutely destroyed them if our injury situation was more normal. Second matchup was closer than it should’ve been due to an absurd roughing the punter which I doubt would happen again
their defensive scheme has been blitz heavy and man to man focused which is the opposite of how you’d want to play us but maybe they have something special cooked up

I don't know why everyone assumes Thompson is going to start. It could very well be Bridgewater. Absolutely nobody has ruled him out. He's not Tua but can make a game competitive
I really think it’s gonna be bridgewater. To be fair to people though lol, all the talking heads have been saying Thompson is ‘expected’ to start which is why they think that.
they don’t want bridgewater to further aggravate his finger so he’s not takin practice reps and they’re gonna see how it feels Sunday
The thing with bridgewater though is he’s a bit of a mismatch to what their offense likes to do. I don’t think he’s that much worse than tua he just doesn’t have the skills their offense is built around

Yes and our secondary in those games were nearly 100%, minus Tre in the first game and Hyde in the 2nd. Now? We are pretty banged up... Poyer isn't 100% (even though his 75% is better than most 100's), we lost our leading tackler for the year, Tre isn't the same as he was last year (been burned a lot and had had several flags for holding or PI), Hyde won't play.
If you don't think any QB could simply use the speed of Waddle or Tyreek for a big play, not sure what to tell ya. I've watched way to much football to be completely convinced we won't struggle in the secondary. We win, by 10+ but I feel we are barely hanging on with our defense right now.
Huh? The secondary was decimated in the first game. Probably the worst it’s been all year. The only starter that played was taron Johnson. Poyer and hyde didn’t play at all. Safeties were Jaquan Johnson/Damar Hamlin.
didn’t have Dane Jackson or Christian benford so the corners were kaiir elam and cam Lewis/Jamarcus Ingram.
our secondary situation is exponentially better than that game right now even if tre is mediocre
miami would’ve gotten absolutely destroyed if our injury situation was a little closer to typical. We were missing 5 offensive linemen by the second half also.

Well, the conclusion isn't completely wrong.
When the Bills offense has stalled, it's typically when teams have bracket covered Diggs and forced dink and dunks. The counter to that is the Bills running the ball with consistency.
If they can keep up back end coverage and still limit the run game you can slow the game enough to have a chance.
Of course that is easier said than done. I'll highlight the comeback vs the Dolphins: the Bills switched to the run and suddenly things started clicking
Wouldn’t that be ‘the best way to stop the bills is stopping throws to diggs’ then? Lol which is the opposite of what RGIII said.
the last three Super Bowl winners were in the bottom 10 in rushing ypg during the regular season. RGIII is mistaking ‘teams with leads run the ball’ with ‘you have to run the ball to win’

What does RG3 know about the playoff’s? Lol. Seriously though, I think it depends on the teams. The Bills don’t have to out rush their opponent to win. I personally hate these simplistic cliche sayings. Offense wins games defends wins championships, is another one.
We’ll see if his theory is correct lol baltimore should be his superbowl choice by those standards.. they are the best rushing offense and rushing defense in the afc playoffs

Skylar isn’t anything special but he doesn’t have to be. All he needs to do is to get the ball in the hands of their playmakers, and let them do the rest. We don’t have a great cover scheme, and Hill kills us with slants and crosses. I can see them running the ball mixed with short routes that get their receivers in space.
They could be missing 3 starting offensive linemen too…tough to get guys in space in that situation.
2 hours ago, Doc said:I'm not seeing, at least in that tweet, where McDaniel thinks they'll be playing past Sunday. I think he's saying they'd rather have Bridgewater be the backup on Sunday than Mike Glennon. I would too.
Sounds like they’re gonna try to start teddy and they don’t want him takin reps in practice to keep him healthy. I feel like teddy is gonna start and this Skylar Thompson stuff has been a smokescreen
the quote about Skylar has been ‘they’re preparing like he is gonna be the starter’

If the Dolphins are smart they will commit and stick to the run game. They were gashing us last matchup.
Might not work as well because Tua is out, but it’s the only way they can keep it close IMO.
Won’t work nearly as well…dolphins pass out of heavy formations and the defense plays them with a relatively light box because they have to respect the speed of tyreek/waddle. It becomes less effective in the red zone even in ideal circumstances because the line of scrimmage naturally gets more clogged up when tyreek can’t take the top off the defense.
that’s why we saw McDaniel attempt some throws on 3rd and short/medium down around the goal line.
The threat of the passing game gives them a big time schematic advantage between the 20s and they’re still not a great rushing team. We had an awful night tackling or it would’ve gone significantly better for us.

I have no idea what McDaniel means by "compounding variables" and "no setbacks", so I don't think anyone could begin to guess.
In the Tua thread I posted a couple links about Kevin Kolb. Kolb suffered a couple of concussions with Philly and with AZ that looked like nothing much, pretty routine, but kept him out for weeks. Then he reportedly suffered a concussion with the Bills in preseason that took him 8 MONTHS to recover from and has caused him lasting effects including ringing in his ears, light sensitivity causing headaches, and short-term memory loss.
It's entirely possible that Tua is suffering similar lingering effects.
Idk how they start him potentially missing three starting offensive linemen either. Even if he has no more lingering concussion effects, the reinjury risk is pretty high

Why would you even bother letting him practice if it is unlikely he will return? If the Bills stack wins you will see Hyde at some point.
I think he’d play in the Super Bowl for sure and maybe the afc championship assuming we make it. 4 months post surgery seems like the point where you get into ‘if it’s a big game he’s healthy enough to play’ territory with a herniated disc.
that year jj watt pushed it with a herniated disc in his back he came back in two months which is certainly too soon.

The rest of our decision isn’t in great shape either. The jets have the most cap room but the least quarterback 😂

The Bills get a LOT of TFLs. Like a TON compared to most other teams.
They lead the NFL in stuff percentage on D(runs that go for no gain or negative yards) at 25%. So basically one out of every 4 runs gets nothing or loses yards against the Bills.
Yea they give up some yards in the rushing game but they make some huge tackles behind the line especially on short yardage situations.

That was a good one! In all seriousness,if the Jets get quality and consistent QB play, they scare me the most in division long term.
They have some really nice young pieces to build around
They won’t by the time they find the consistent qb play. That’s the downside of drafting multiple early round picks in the same couple of years. They can’t pay all those guys. They have to hit on a qb in one of the next few drafts but now they won’t be drafting in the top 10

the Miami injury report looks like ours from the middle of the regular season.
It wasn’t even qb that concerned me for them…no armstead no eichenberg no shell is crazy. Idk how they could put tua behind that oline if he could play

So I just saw the McDaniels' clip on the NFL network did they rule out Tua or did they say they were going to prepare under the assumption that he would be because he has to have no setbacks?
Tua is ruled out but bridgewater technically isn’t

As excited as this sounds, with Hyde not playing for most of the season, I wonder what we can expect from him say next week. I feel like I want to say it'd be an upgrade but will he have to get back to games speed and how long would that take. Going against cinci being rusty might not be the right things to do. But man, if he's feeling it and the coaches think it's an upgrade then awesome.
He’s been working out off to the side for a month or so now. Our safety play has been a little rough so even if he’s 75% it would be an upgrade

Lose a roster spot I would think

The phish average over 7.5 yrds a carry against the Bills front; Buffalo's ballcarriers averaged less than half of that.
We trailed by 8 in that game with less than 10:00 left and if Ma Nature had not started firing snowballs in Miami's grill, we may have lost to them.
If McCarthy had not lost his mind and started chucking the ball around while they were successfully hammering it down our throat, we would have lost to them.
I agree there is potential for a big win here, but there is also some potential for the Bills to walk out there overconfident, get pushed around and find themselves in the kind of dog fight they weren't prepared for coming in.
I don’t think McDaniel trusts his offense to pick up tough yards on the ground on obvious running downs though so it’s not quite as simple as ‘if they just ran the ball on those red zone plays they would’ve won’.
A lot of their shtick is they frequently pass out of heavy formations and most teams play them with pretty light boxes to respect the pass but the closer they get to the end zone the less you have to worry about tyreek/waddle taking the top off the defense so things get jammed up more closer to the line of scrimmage. So between the 20s they’re pretty much being given free yards if they want to try to run the football but things get a lot harder in the red zone. And if their threat to pass isn’t as strong, they will have a lot more trouble running the football.
also if they’re missing armstead and shell, their offensive line won’t get the push to run or pass.

Setbacks?
I understand a QB with a broken finger on their throwing hand not being able to play. That is super easy.
But setbacks? There are no more games if you don't win and a broken finger is a reasonable injury to "come back" from in the offseason.I have a weird feeling they’re trying hard to get bridgewater ready to start and they’re pulling a fast one lol the language has been ‘the dolphins are preparing like Thompson will start’…I don’t think bridgewater has been ruled out though

If our offensive line continues improving 0 chance. That cincy game looked like it was on track to be very high scoring.
