I love it.  Fritz does not go into locker room pissy like the GOAT Cheater.  From reports he played a very good game and as I hoped gave the Bills enough competition so it did not seems like a preseason game.  Hyde coming over to say hello just shows he is good sport too about Fitz going thru him for TD.

They need another WR if Duke is injured...

 

Might have to trade for one..

If he's seriously out the IR and here comes McCloud until they can trade for someone better. If he's just out for a bit then maybe he's swapping his active spot with Foster.

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.

 

The Defense could not get off the field.  They will face other QBs better than Fitz willing to throw into tight windows, who are competitors and leaders.

 

Did anyone feel that the D was poised to give up it's worst performance to the Fins today?  I didn't.  I figured it would be the O with its usual struggles to score TDs

The TV broadcast of the game was TERRIBLE. They love to fill the screen with somebody’s face, and they don’t return to the full lineup view until the ball is snapped.

 

I don’t need to see a player be mad or happy about a play. I don’t need to see a coach stare at his play sheet.  

 

Show me the team on the field.  I want to see the formation, the substitutions, the shifts and motions, etc.

Eric Wood was saying the same thing on the broadcast as he was running it in. That “aww shucks good guy conservative crap” has got to stop. You step on their throats just as Belichick would. Get so sick of having to be great sports. Miami wasn’t stopping. Why should we?

They were definitely sloppy, but it starts with tackling. Fitz, like any decent QB, is going to make some throws. We were just sloppy. I'm just saying I don't think they were unprepared specifically for Fitz. They were just unprepared.

Quick thoughts....

 

Any win is better than a lost but expected a better overall performance.

Bills have yet to play a complete game. Far too inconsistent 

Playcalling is a head scratcher at times

Expected to see much more of Singletary today

Zero pass rush today. Need much more from the Dline

Edmunds struggled along with Levi Wallace

JA with the exception of the deep ball played well. 2TDS no turnovers

Solid special teams

Tre White, Haluscha with my gameball

Daboll and Frazier need much better gameplans against the Eagles

 

End of day 5-1 makes everything better. 6-1 would be a nice statement win!

 

Lets Go Buffalo!

Well, theoretically the Dolphins get the ball back and can engineer some sort of miracle drive and succeed with the onside kick the next time. Going down gives you a guaranteed win then and there.

Was he thinking about sportsmanship or about letting the offense take a knee and not have any more plays run in the game? Every play is an injury risk.

Well....Rosen isn't the starting QB.  It's not a valid point.  They knew they were playing Fitz.

 

The Fins scored more points against this D than any other team this season.

 

the D was atrocious today, sans the turnovers. The run D was non-existant, they neutralized Edmunds all game. I have to assume the D thought this was a walk in the park and didn't bring their A game, that's unacceptable

That's been my point.  This D doesn't look top 5.  Got pushed around by a team they would not be facing in the playoffs (to put it mildly).

I guess that’s true and a good point. Hadn’t considered that. But my mentality is to take the points there when clinging to a 3 pt lead. All it takes is a fumbled snap or something and they are driving for the win. We’ve seen it all before as Bills fans. Team has basically invented new ways to lose. Going to take more than a 5-1 start to shake 20 years of what we’ve endured. Lol.

62% is 62%.    

 

We aren’t gonna bring back Tyrod or pick up Kaep. 

 

Take a deep breath and enjoy that 5-1 record with Josh Allen ??

I am enjoying being 5-1. I know 62% is 62%, not interested in other QB's.

A poster mentioned that Allen has accuracy issues on deep passes. I agreed.

That's it, chill man.

Can't believe people are saying Mycah Hyde should've kneeled. Go for the kill. 


Those are the same people that are saying go deep to Robertson was dumb.....even if he was 5 yards in the clear.

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!!!

So it's wrong to point out a area that needs improvement? Got it.

Yep, that’s probably it and a good point. I can see the value there. I think I would have done what Hyde did and taken the points and made them drive for two scores with a minute left and no timeouts. But that’s the fan side of me. I’ll certainly concede maybe my example of this team being too conservative wasn’t the greatest.

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. 

 

Truth.

 

Some of the old timers here were trying to sound the warning bells. Never take any team lightly because they may have a good game plan, they may have the right players to execute it, and they may catch your team napping. Toss in some untimely drops and flags and you are staring down the barrel of being embarrassed.

 

I hate to see it, but perhaps Flores turns these guys around faster than I thought he would. Was hoping the Jets and Miami would have a decade or two of being easy 4 wins on our schedule.

I’m sure Hyde saw the wide open field to the end zone and instinct took over. I didn’t hate it at the time and I still don’t.

Lee smith looks like a giant red headed version of spider man without his jersey.   ?

Will they?  How soon people forget the cycle.
