  1. I hope they watch this game film every single week to remind them how pathetic they can be. They don’t deserve a fan base that travels this well for them
  2. Anyone know where Pinto Ron is parked? edit - found him. No pinto. This feels like a home game with so many fans here
  3. If news breaks tomorrow about Josh being in close contact, and I flew down here to watch Davis Webb……
  4. Jaguars 31 Bills 6 The Trevor Lawrence coming out party begins as he throws all over our secondary. The Bills are stagnant off the plane and Daboll calls 23 straight rushing plays
  5. I hope Jordan Love lights it up and Rodgers is sent packing
  6. Well, now that we know we are going to lose to the Jags, what’s everyone else doing this Sunday?
  7. Josh broken almost every other curse out there, so why can’t he break that one too. I can only imagine how much fun that sideline would be with Fitz there
  8. Also, I don’t care about logic or reason. I want Fitz back
  9. If we got Fitz back and a 3rd, I would have been ecstatic.
  10. Why is is 750 mil more to build downtown? Destruction of area?
  11. For a 6th?! Wow
  12. Any parking recommendations? This is my first time. I'm driving to and from Orlando that same day. Also, tix are stupid expensive for a one win team
  13. Somewhere between the drought and today, we all got a little spoiled. On some level, it's natural when you have the 2nd highest paid QB in the league and made it to the AFC Championship game last year. But as we saw this week, where the Jets beat the Bengals and the Chargers lost to the Patriots, every week presents new challenges which can be amplified within your division. Even on a seven game winning streak against the Dolphins, they've played us tough enough to where we needed to recover onside kicks to seal the game on multiple occasions. While we want 40-0 games every week, the other team gets paid too. While the first half of the game wasn't great, I am going to choose and appreciate that we figured it out at half and scored on our last 4 drives to put the Dolphins away, yet again. 1 - Beasley - I've been on the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it train," questioning the targeting of Sanders so much and rushing attack dedication. We beat teams down last year with Diggs, Beasley, and Davis, but seem to want to abandon that success. However, I have to remind myself that, like with the Chiefs, the NFL will adapt to those in the spotlight and we didn't win the Super Bowl last year. Change needs to happen if we are going to make that next step. Now that I've wasted so many words not even talking about Beasley, let me bring it back to our offensive MVP of this game. After a terrible first half, Allen and the offense switched back to our old ways, which is feed Beasley all over the field until the rest of the defense starts to adjust. And, if they don't adjust, keep feeding Beasley. With a dominating 100+ yard receiving effort, Beasley was the go to guy on all downs and really helped the entire offense get into a groove. While he didn't find the endzone, he was the difference maker on the field. 2 - Oliver - Like many, I've been slow to warm up to Ed, but have really seen a turnaround from him this season. I don't know that he's performed at a top 10 pick talent, but the improvement has been there. Even with that, it makes no sense why the Dolphins didn't even try to block him on a few plays. Oliver was an absolute force in this game and was chasing Tua all over the field. Speaking of Tua, who I don't want to give his own though, have you ever seen a more lucky QB who repeatedly threw up prayers off his back foot and had them completed? There were at least 3 plays where most QB's would get intercepted for trying that crap, but he kept getting away with it. That first half could have been a lot worse for the Dolphins had those passes gone the other way. 3 - Tre - While Oliver was strong, Tre gets the defensive MVP for me. While Parker had a good game, the majority of his catches came from the slot, which still blows my mind why more NFL teams don't adjust to that motion set. Regardless, Tre not only was solid in coverage, he was laying some hits to. I don't know what got him so fired up, but this might have been the most dominant game I've seen by him this season in both coverage and as a tackler. 4 - You can spend your time alone re-digesting past regrets Or you can come to terms and realize you're the only one who can't forgive yourself Makes much more sense to live in the present tense 5 - Offensive Line - The Dolphins clearly had a defensive strategy for the Bills, and it revolved around bunching 4 defensive lineman between the tackles. For the most part, it worked in getting Josh to leave the pocket or throw quickly, but the offensive line overall seemed to have a poor day. Interestingly enough, even with Spencer out, Cody Ford still didn't get the start, leading many and myself to believe that his days in Buffalo are over once that contract expires or any trade offer comes along. Josh didn't look comfortable in the pocket and you saw him visibly upset on the sidelines, which is very rare to see (but awesome). As we all know, we are going to face strong front 4 teams in the playoffs, and this is something we need to get fixed. 6 - With great risk, comes great exposure - Unlike previous weeks, Frazier was sending a 5th blitzer on quite a few plays. While the pressure got to Tua, he found a way to get the ball out and offset the blitz for most of the first half. TJ played on the line and ran free from the outside on most calls. We scaled back in the second half, and we saw Addison, Groot, and Hughes start to hit home a little more. I'm not sure why Frazier dialed up the DB blitzes versus the usually effective Milano blitz, but it seemed like this approach backfired a bit. 7 - Allen - First off, garbage time or not, congrats to Josh for tying Cam's rushing record through his 50 games. When I think about how much of a rushing force Cam was in his first 4 years, it's crazy to think that Josh matched that. Allen had a rough start to this game and it showed on his face. I know the weather was good, but it looked like Allen was struggling with his grip and just missing on his throws. A quick dose of Beasley straightened things out for him and he finished with an overall good stat line. I will definitely be watching GMFB to see if Allen made the angry runs list after an absolutely punishing run though Miami defenders. Also, on the first touchdown pass to Gabe, Allen really showed off how strong her was by fighting through defenders before making the pass. It was really impressive. However, Josh let his frustration let him try some hero ball and it was almost very costly. We can't have that Josh. Trust yourself and your team and don't give up the dumb plays which could have led to an entirely different outcome. 8 - Special Teams - I'm not going to focus on the Haack shank, but I will acknowledge it. McKenzie also got in his scare on the muffed punt that easily could have been 6 for the Dolphins. Instead, I'm going to talk about Bass-O-Matic. While I know he has the leg to make a 57 yarder, I was still surprised McD sent him out to try. It looked a little rough off his foot and it squeaked in, but good is good. For a guy who had everyone on the ledge at the beginning of last season, it's awesome to watch this kid keep making kicks. 9 - The Hughes Curse - Maybe the refs know that Hughes tenure with the Bills is coming to the end and they need to find their next victim, but please leave Groot alone. Can someone tell me how Groot gets his helmet ripped off on a play, but there's not penalty for hands to the face. There was another flag picked up, that the video replay cleared showed a similar call ignored, and honestly, it looks like the Bills front four were getting manhandled in this game. I know that every fan cries foul, and I'm not one to normally be that person, but this was a bad game for the refs where "letting them play" gave the Bills a clear disadvantage. 10 - The Bad Guys? - We've been at the bottom of the league and disrespected for so long, that it's strange to think of other teams hating our smugness. Seeing Allen waiving goodbye to Dolphins defenders caught me in the moment. I've seen him spin the ball at defenders or flex his arms out, but it usually seemed like him hyped up in the moment. In this case, I will admit that Josh was taunting. Granted, there's been some brief fighting between players and Josh was very heated earlier in the game. After winning 7 in a row, with many of them blowouts, I can see where the Dolphins are starting to feel a certain way about the Bills. I'm not sure I know how to feel about it. It's very unfamiliar territory. Like the game itself, this review felt a little off. Anyways, off to the Jaguars, which I will be in attendance at. Go Bills!!!!
  14. No teams "scare" me. There are a few teams I respect as being able to beat us. I also don't think the Bucs are the only other game we could lose; I just don't know who else it would be.
  15. He's pissed Miller won't be there next year when he joins the team Possibly. I still think they are all in on the Rodgers train
  16. Wow. They are paying him to leave. I understand you are paying the 9 mil to get a ROI on someone who was going to potentially walk in the offseason, but still stings
  17. Unless I'm remembering incorrectly, we scored on a QB Bootleg and Josh ran it in. We weren't in our normal offense and we were running clock. We weren't in a situation to just take a knee. It wasn't a pass, they weren't in kneel down mode, and it was a 9 point game. Not egregious from what I thought. Could they have run up the middle and kicked a FG? Yes, but what's the difference between up 9 and up 12 when you are going to give the ball back regardless?
  18. Sweet! Now I don't have to write mine. One less thing 🙂
  19. No. They were running the ball and Josh walked it in. Going for 2 makes sense based upon the point differential. Now, if we were up by 3 scores or something, sure. But the Dolphins have recovered multiple onside kicks against us. Play to win and don't stop until it's 100% over. Also, now Josh is tied for most rushing TD's in his first 50 games 🙂
  20. Thanks Bengals. I’m out
  21. Yes, because he’s obviously chosen to be trash all this time. He just needed a reason to be good 🙄
  22. I actually caught this the day it was posted. I'm on Day 1. The prediction will shock you....😜
