    Bill's offense highest graded of the weekend Games. Defense second best.

    I find all the “Josh was throwing picks all willy nilly out there” a bit confusing.  The one to Brown probably should have been caught had Brown now slowed down - if nothing else, should have been like a punt.  The one to Beasley literally hit him. The narrative reads like Josh was trying to throw the game away… :beer: 

    We all expected us to blow out Miami, and we really should have.  Who knows, maybe with everybody expecting an epic game with Cinci, we blow them out.  Cincy looked pretty bad on offense Sunday (17 points) and are decimated at Oline.

     

    The only thing that matters is the ring.  Stafford threw a season ending INT last year with 2 minutes left vs SF.  Right in the guys midsection.  The ball is dropped and next thing you know Stafford is a hero.

    Josh Allen Bashers, what's your solution?

    I'd much rather have an aggressive QB than one who checks down on 4ht down, with the game on the line, giving his team no chance to convert.  I would love for Josh to take the easy throw more often, but not at the expense of losing the two long TDs vs NE, the long bomb to Diggs yesterday, the 25 yd td to Davis yesterday and the 55 yd pass to Shakir (dropped) yesterday.  

    THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - Demons

    In the playoffs, only one thing matters:  Survive and advance.  That’s it.  No style points. 

     

    The Bills survived and advanced against the Dolphins in the Wild Card round.  If style points had mattered, they may have been one and done.

     

    Commentators said the Bills struggled against the Dolphins, but that really wasn’t the story.  The Bills dominated and won the game.  The Dolphins offense was ineffective for almost the entire game.  The Bills beat the Dolphins, 34-7.  The game seemed like a struggle only because the Bills’ demons, the demons that seem to haunt this team, repeatedly gave the Dolphins short fields to work with, and the Dolphins moved the ball just enough to put points on the board.  Consider the Dolphins’ scoring drives:

     

    After a Tyler Bass kickoff went out of bounds, the Dolphins drove 38 yards for a field goal. 

     

    After a Josh Allen interception, the Dolphins drove 18 yards for a field goal.

     

    After a 50-yard punt return, the Dolphins drove 8 yards for a field goal.  

     

    After a Josh Allen interception, the Dolphins drove 18 yards for a touchdown.

     

    After a Josh Allen fumble, the Dolphins returned the fumble 5 yards for a touchdown. 

     

    Add it up.  24 points.  82 total yards of offense. 

     

    That’s 24 points that more or less ANY team in the NFL would have scored.  24 points that the Bills’ demons gave to the Dolphins. 

     

    The Dolphins had one real scoring drive – 11 plays, 75 yards.

     

    In a sense, the final score was Bills 34, Dolphins 7, Demons 24.  It won’t show up that way in the records of NFL but really, that’s what happened.

     

    The stats pretty much prove that there were demons on the field.  The Bills outgained the Dolphins, 423 to 231.  The Bills were 9 of 16 on third down; the Dolphins were 4 of 16.  Skylar Thompson, the Dolphins’ rookie quarterback, finished the game with a very un-Tua-like passer rating of 44.7. 

    Demons.  No other way to explain it.

     

    Random comments:

     

    A beautiful day in Orchard Park.  Fans were asking what that bright yellow thing in the sky was. 

     

    Remember Kair Elam?  The first-round pick who seemed to be doing his best to become Mr. Irrelevant, of a sort?  Well, he wasn’t irrelevant on Sunday.  An interception on a perfect drop into deep coverage on the sideline, two passes defensed, including a critical pass break-up on 4th and five on the Dolphins last possession, and nice work in the run game.

     

    The offense just looks better with Cole Beasley on the field. 

     

    The Bills sacked Thompson four times, but only two sacks came from the down linemen, who struggled to get pressure on the QB most of the day.  Ed Oliver had his moments.  Von Miller would have looked good out there.

     

    Sometimes, it seemed like I was watching Josh Allen in his second season.  He was in love with the deep ball.  It didn’t matter who was running deep – Diggs or Brown or Shakir or Davis (did I forget anyone?) – Josh threw to him.  He connected just enough to get the win, once to Diggs to set up a score, once to Davis for a TD, and once, almost miraculously, on third and one to Shakir to extend a late drive.  Still, the Bills didn’t need a homerun on every play; a few more singles and doubles would be nice.

     

    Josh also missed, often.  He air mailed one over Shakir, he tossed a short out over Beasley’s head, he forced Davis to make a circus catch over the middle, and he often threw behind receivers.  He wasn’t the deadly accurate guy we’d seen the last couple of years. 

     

    Devin Singletary’s final run, for an improbable first down to end the game, was simply amazing.  Yes, he got some help from his linemen but really, third and seven, everyone knows the Bills will keep it on the ground, and he should have been on the ground yards short.  The Bills do what they need to do to win and on that play, it was Motor’s turn. 

     

    Tremaine Edmunds was fun to watch.  A monster hit, some passes defensed, and solid tackles.

     

    Tre White looks like he needs some injections of speed juice, but no one’s better playing defense as the ball arrives.  A hand on the ball, a hit on the receiver, a distraction, something. 

     

    Tyreek Hill is a certifiable talent.  You can just feel it when he’s on the field, but not Sunday.  69 yards on seven receptions, five yards on two carries.  Hats off to Taron Johnson, Tre White, Dane Jackson, Kair Elam. 

     

    Survive and advance.  Can the Bills bury the demons?

     

    GO BILLS!!!

     

    The Rockpile Review is written to share the passion we have for the Buffalo Bills. That passion was born in the Rockpile; its parents were everyday people of western New York who translated their dedication to a full day’s hard work and simple pleasures into love for a pro football team.

     

    The only team that can beat Buffalo is Buffalo....I firmly believe it.  Let's hope they don't succeed, they came crazy close to doing it yesterday

    Love Josh but far too many mistakes today. You can’t have your franchise QB throw two interceptions and even more worrisome THREE fumbles. Josh acknowledges it seemingly every game and then still reverts back to making careless plays.

     

    He can make every throw but has to start taking the layups when the big play isn’t there.

    I only can really blame Josh on the fumble for the TD.  He didn't read the safety blitz and when he saw him, it was too late to unload to a wide open Singletary who was the hot read (where the safety blitzed from) and was an easy pass for 15+ yards.  Simple read that he missed on and he compounded it with the fumble.  The other fumble was a blindside caused by a missed Dawson block.  1st int - maybe Josh should have taken an easy checkdown (especially given the 17-0 score), but Brown ran the wrong route.  Interception 2, Beasley was held and it bounced off his chest - a bit of a lucky bounce.

     

    What I'm more concerned with Josh is the last couple of weeks he seems to have happy feet - he prematurely is leaving the pocket, moving up and getting sacked.  A lot of the sacks yesterday were due to this. He may have a trust issue with his o-line

    Isaiah Hodgins Bills made big mistake

    I’ve been a Hodgins fan for 2 years. All he does is catch the ball consistently and more often for 1st downs. He was better than Kumerow, McKenzie, Beasley, Brown and dare I say Gabe Davis until this Dolphin game. Others should’ve been cut before this talent. 

    All he did for Buffalo was get injured.  Good for him now, but, in Buffalo productivity relies on availability and he was never available

    Over the last 7 regular season games Josh had 4 ints.  Burrow had 6.  Burrow had 2 less ints on the season than Josh.

    if you look at the stats, you think we would have won by about 30, but nothing is easy this year

     BUF: 350 yards passing, 3 tds, 100+ yards rushing

    MIA: 18-45 passing, 41 yards rushing on 20 carries, 2 INTs

     

    I 100% believe nobody can beat us except ourselves and we almost did it today
