Just Joshin' Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 35 minutes ago, Do The Reich Thing said: I’m pumped we’re 5-1, but it’s clear this team is designed to play up and down to its competition. All of our games will put a few more grey hairs in our heads this year and cause a couple more heart palpitations. I expect the same thing against the Eagles next week. How do you design a team to do that? Count me in that I did not think they would overlook this game in anticipation of the Eagles but they did. Let's hope next week they play up to the Eagles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morse is worth the money. Knox was a liability today. Bad penalties, and two horrible dropped passes that really cost us. Someone mentioned during the game thread that Hughes was invisible. That was sorta true in the first half, but it sure wasn't in the second! Bojo almost had me fooled during the Titans game that he may not be terrible. Not today. I still have faith in Allen. But, as many have said, I sure would like to see "Second Half" Allen play in the first half. They have to cut Bojo and find a better punter. There is just no way his punting doesn't cost the team a game at some point. This isn't something hard to fix either. I am sure there is a decent punter out on the market. I think the pass rush was a huge concern early into the second half but they wore down Miami and came through. My long term concern is did this game showcase the secondaries vulnerability to larger recievers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenboy81 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Not always gonna be pretty but they got the job done. Tre white saved the day and Allen balled in the 2nd half. This team has all season to work out the kinks especially with this schedule. They could be a real dangerous team by the end of the year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seen with the Redskins...with Rosen back there you can just pin your ears back and rush regardless of what the offense is doing. Fitz will eat you up if you try that. I think Fitz is just real great at getting in a Defense's head you can't take it too hard when he connects on those because it will happen but if you keep playing your game he's going to give it to you eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Otreply Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 1 minute ago, klos63 said: but the comment was about his deep passing issues. One can pick any part of an effort that is not great, but it’s only a part not a whole. Sure that part could stand to be better, but ya gotta judge a game or record as a whole, not just a part. I suspect he has practiced the long pass very little over the last several months, being he has been heavily emphasizing his short to mid range game almost exclusively. Just a thought. Go Bills!!!

It's funny how everyone is now trying to justify the game by talking up Miami like they are a better team then they have been to make it seem like it should have been close. I think it’s funny how some people need to find negatives in a 10 point win. Yes, we had a rough start to the game and the Fins gave us more than we fans thought they had. But at the end of the day, we beat an NFL team by 10 points. Go Bills!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideNine Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I was a bit surprised at how many escapes Fitz had against this defense. I do expect some of that on Johnson's side, he is green and will take himself right out of a play going to high on his rush. That being said, he is a 1st year rookie and will only get better. I think I would have kept Edmunds on their TE this game and I think that holding was pretty ticky-tacky as Gesecki cut in front of him and as much as Edmunds hooked an arm, Gesecki was trying to push off to create separation at the cut he was making. Something to learn from this game when we go up against teams with larger physical receivers. There needs to be some adjustments, Wallace was in over his head.

MikeSpeed Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I have to disagree with those that think Josh didn't play well enough against a bad team. There was way too many dropped passes and way too much pressure. I thought he did all he could. Also couldn't understand why we weren't doing any quick middle slants. There were blitzing and the short middle seemed open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fins scored more points against this D than any other team this season. I don't think they were unprepared for Fitz. The problem with Fitz is that he is willing to throw into tight windows and/or throw it up and trust his guy can go up and get it (Gesicki made some, uh, Ge-sick catches today). He is a competitor and a leader. He has a lot of traits that the best QBs have. Sometimes he is just going to beat you. He has plenty of bad games, but we know he is capable of really good football. He put forth a good effort today. I was, however, frustrated with the chunk plays on the ground and the missed sacks. That was sloppy D and you have to make those plays to force the bad Fitz to come out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 This game went exactly the way I thought it would go. If you thought any different, then you overestimated the Bills and underestimated how good Fitz can be, and that Flores is a good coach. I think you’ll see the Dolphins win some games this year and show promise going into a huge offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
