I think fringe wild card is Tua’s ceiling as QB. I think that if your team is good everywhere else he can take you to the playoffs. But I don’t think the team goes anywhere

If you take the 2nd quarter out of the mix yesterday, Allen ended up with a decent day.

It’s not a perfect comparison given the college careers and draft status but there are similarities. Fans really want Tua/EJ to succeed and will make a million excuses for him, despite the fact he doesn’t really pass the “eye test” and it doesn’t seem the org is 100% behind him. The funniest argument from Miami fans was using Tua’s 7-3 record as starter as evidence why he is a better QB than Justin Herbert. It’s funny but Fitzpatrick won one of those starts for him and the Miami defense won the other 2 with a turnover to end the game.

Do you think the score is any closer or that Miami capitalizes on some of the empty 2nd quarter trips to the red zone? I know the sample size was small but it seems like Tua was a deer in the headlights and while his OL did him no favors I think his head was spinning with the free blitzes that were coming through

This is what I’m thinking. You give him time to show his potential. If he doesn’t, then don’t re-sign him to a big contract

Chase Young on Daryl Williams 😳

I think Miami never really had much of a long term vision from the start - I think this is largely on Flores. Last season should have either been about making the playoffs with Fitzpatrick or developing Tua. Flores tried to do both and ended up finishing the year with neither goal. I think the way the QB position was handled in 2020 did him a disservice. Then it seems like Miami was at least entertaining the thought of replacing him, so much that it took Flores weeks to make a strong statement of support. Even the offense they have running this season with 2 OC’s just seems a little awkward. It just doesn’t seems like the organization is very confident in him. I would have a lot of questions as well - but they were the ones who drafted him at 5th overall a year ago!

Tua looked completely lost in the first two series. Some of those hits were on him, especially the one where Parker was covered as his 1st read and he couldn’t figure out where to go and got blasted. I kind of feel bad for Tua because it seems like Miami never really went all in with him. Everything really seems to add up that Flores and the organization, are not 100% behind him.

He was so awful. There was another time when Epinesa almost sacked Brisette and Rosseau got credit. He used some weird acronym like “JOP” jumped on the pile.

I think Daboll learned his lesson

It happens every time they play in Miami. Tons of Bills fans show up, Miami fans bolt for the exits, and Bills fans move down

You mean offense?

Not making excuses for Josh. He was paid to be a top 5 QB and he needs to play like it. BUT…I went back and watched the game. There were really three big throws that he missed. One was to Singletary down the sideline, the other was the INT where his accuracy was just off enough to allow Howard to make a great play, and the other was the deep shot to Diggs which probably is a TD if he doesn’t under throw. Even with these issues, he still led the Bills down the field 5 times resulting in scores. If you want to take the Singletary TD run out, it’s 4 scores. Overall it was a pedestrian day but it’s one of those games where the team didn’t need him to ball out. There will be those games and he needs to show it

He’s going to be tough to bring back.

The promotion lasts until 12/31 so you’d think that you should be able to get one at some point soon

We will

I’m wondering if Bills Elvis is vaccinated. He’s on team no-mask

You can’t buy them online though. They are only at Wegmans and have already sold. Selling for anywhere from 40 to 70 on eBay.

I like the Bills a lot in this matchup….then again, I liked the Bills last week against Pittsburgh. I’ll say Buffalo 24 Miami 17

It’s a meaningless stat that has nothing to do with anything p

The Bills were 1-4 in the redzone. That was the difference in this game. They should’ve scored TD’s instead of FG’s on at least 2 more possessions.

What examples are you talking about? The only one I can think of is the tipped pass that Edmunds couldn’t come down with. That would’ve been a very tough….but not impossible catch to make

I normally like TG but this article was a bit of a head scratcher after 1 bad game. If the bad offense continues for 3 or 4 more games than it makes sense but I thought calling for Dorsey after one bad performance was premature

I do think there’s some truth to this. To me it did seem like PSE was postering to try to get as much public funding as possible. Tim Graham is someone who seems to very much plugged in the Bills and PSE. He has always said that he thinks it’s unlikely that the team moves and that Austin was one of the few relocation “Boogeymen” left now that LA has 2 teams and Toronto is dead. But his message to fans was - don’t think it CAN’T happen. So it seems like it’s improbable but not completely unlikely

25 carries is too high but a few more draws against a light box could’ve been successful
