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

Why take an automatic win when you can give a team one last desperate chance?  LOL.  What are you talking about?

I only saw him suited on the sideline, did he get back on the field too?

I'm pretty sure he was on the field for the last TD to Beasley.

 

Edit: Yes, he was lined up on the right side of the formation, opposite Beasley.

Who cares that Hyde ran it back? I would have ran it back. How many chances does he get to score? W, 31-21, with Hyde scoring a TD on the return. Quit :censored: about a non-story. 

He goes down at the five, you run the clock out, game over. That said, I'm glad he ran it in.

The defense goes as Edmunds does. Edmunds sucked today. His inconsistency remains an issue.

 

Will sort of agree with you as much as it pains me to do so.

 

The good - Edmunds is attacking his gap assignments

 

The bad - Has to work on techniques to shed blocks or at least keep some leverage to make plays. He was getting schooled on trap blocks, it happens and it is only year 2 for that kid. His overall game is improving.

Wentz, Brady, Darnold, Prescott, to name a few

Brady looked terrible against this defense.  I'm not going to overreact to one bad game where we were clearly outcoached on both sides of the ball.

Henry Jones also ran an onside kick back for a TD in 1999.  A 10 point lead is safer than a 3 point lead.  If you fumble a snap you can still lose the game trying to run the clock out.  10 points guarantees they need 2 scores.  Ironically the score was identical.  24-21 before the kick, 31-21 after and the final score. 

 

Here's a link to the story of the day Jones ran the onside kick in for those to young, too old or who didn't see the game in 1999.   https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bills-ground-cardinals/

That was 3 long weeks ago.  How did they look today against Non-Brady?  Have they gotten even better since that NE game?

Miami played so much better today than they did last week against the Redskins.  Did Miami improve or did the Bills simply forget how to play during the off week?

Fitzpatrick didn’t start that game, and he’s decent to good when he’s on. The Redskins lost at home to SF today 9-0, and the niners are pretty good.

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

They were definitely flat, and they missed Milano more than I thought they would in this game.

Here’s his attempt to throw it out of end zone. Just a few rows short!

A little two much arc and it caught the wind - you can see all the garbage floating around in the air. 

 

I would have loved seeing the broadcasters jump if the ball had hit the press box glass - probably would have been a one and done fine for Allen.

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? 

 

It's not about being a "good guy" or playing conservative, it's about sealing the win. He goes down and the offense takes a knee a couple of times - game over.  By scoring, we had to kick the ball to Miami. Think worst case scenario: they run the KO back for a TD, try another onside kick, they recover it, and score again. I know it's a remote possibility, but I've seen crazier endings.

The team isn't that young. I think the team is bottom 10 in average roster age. 

Ok, so who is old ???   Gore, Hauscka and Alexander and that’s about it... this is a young team. The reality is this whole offense is new. It might be week 12 before we rally know what our offense is capable of especially since Motor was out.

 

I fully expected a crap first half. Off week + crap opponent at home usually means uneven rusty execution and those penalties showed it.

How buffalo.played today let you know they are nothing more than a 1 and done playoff team if they hang on. 

From all appearances.  However, they also appeared flat following the layoff and may have figured all they needed to do was show up for a home game against Miami.

Better thing to is run down the field close to goal line and then go down and sit.  Of course you are then taking the chance a player will be mad and take a shot at defenseless player and not get penalized but how often does that happen?

Redskins were bringing the house against rosen... once fitz came in it completely changed

 

Yes for Fitz is a lot more mobile.

what did the guy do? I missed it and on the replay I didn't noticed anything egregious

 

He punched another player and was not a P*t and got away with it.
