I don’t know about “frequently”. 
 

He did so on the John Brown TD, yes. I can’t recall any other instances. 
 

While the Jets brought extra rushers frequently, I’m not so sure they employed many zero blitzes.

Got it. I tend to speak in hyperbole which causes me some issues online lol

 

I could’ve sworn during the Cover 1 breakdown they said he beat it a few times but just highlighted the Brown one because it was the most apparent instance. 
 

The All-22 going up late this week meant I didn’t get a chance to look at it myself.

You could absolutely be right.

 

I haven’t re-watched the game and am just going off memory.

 

Here’s hoping Allen has overcome his woes against zero blitzes for good, in any case.

Good questions, fans not in the stands is one part of it. Players get to be home in their own bed, their own coffee, there is something to be said for that.

I'm thinking it's only one to two points without fans (travel and weather).  Since the casual bettor still has three for the home team on their mind it might be a great year for sharps.

Bills fans have 20 years of psychological trauma blinding them to what we saw Sunday.  If Allen doesn't fumble twice, its 35-0 AT HALFTIME.  buffalo had 31 fricken 1st downs.  They punted once. 

 

 

And if my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle.

 

The Bills scored just six points in the second half.

Here’s my prediction:  Our running game breaks loose for game dominance.  Josh passes less (less attempts) than last week but ultimately has more yards than last week, due to a lot of RAC. Fitz dinks & dunks us to put up more points than the Jets did last week but at the end, when they are still behind, he will press & throw the picks just like Picks-Patrick always does. 

Bills 34    Jets 27

Let’s Go Buffalo!!!!!

Are we playing Jets again?

special teams will decide this game

The Dolphins whole team is "Special"... Not in a competitive sense, more like a drools on themselves and wears a hockey helmet wherever they go and ride short buses kinda special...

It was as dominant a performance as we’ve seen in a while. The Jets were never a threat in the game on either side of the ball. Like others have said, they were our cat toy. 

 

And the only TD they scored that mattered was a busted play!  I’m on board with this being a dominant, no-doubt win tomorrow, even without Edmunds and Milano.

I hope that Lacey has been working hard with some trainers in the off-season. He’s coming into this one pretty cold. I know he was familiar with the defence from 2018, but I still worry when a guy like that is forced into duty right off the street.

1. Any team quarterbacked by Ryan Fitzpatrick is never to be completely counted out. Yes, he can throw four interceptions in a game, but he can also throw four touchdowns. We've all seen it happen many, many times. Jekyl and Hyde. Which one will we see?

2. I was there in Orchard Park last year when the winless Dolphins were beating the Bills halfway into the third quarter. It took a miraculous Tre White interception and a 98 yard scoring drive to put the Bills out front, and it was close until the very end. Since then, the Dolphins have gotten better. I realize the Bills have gotten better, too, but I can't pretend like I didn't see the Phins and Fitzy stomping a mudhole in the Bills for more than a half of football.

3. We are without our two starting linebackers. The oppositions running game and tight end are good enough to take advantage of that lack.

4. I disagree with the notion that their cover guys "should not be a match for Diggs and Brown". Byron Jones very effectively limited Diggs the last time these two played. Xavien Howard is now fully healthy and should be able to cover John Brown with at least some success. Brian Flores is a good defensive mind.

5. The Bills, until they prove otherwise, are still susceptible to being beat by Zero Blitzes. The Dolphins will employ them frequently.

6. It's the NFL. Any given sunday

 

I agree with this. I think it will be a tougher game on the road and which Fitz shows up ?

 

I like the Bills in this one but don't see a blow out

A busted play? Edmunds whiffed on a an awful tackle attempt. 

 

That’s correct — he makes that tackle 9 out of 10 times, it was a busted play.

It was a missed tackle.... not the first from Edmunds. Guys struggled to make tackles in his young career.

 

I think you were happier when the Bills stunk.

Do they need to be purchased in a block? 

Yes.  Most have been available in 4’s or 6.  It looks they opened some more in 2.  I bought 4 Ticket Exchange about 10 days ago.  Prices have come down since then

[eball]

I think the team seeing a smattering of Bills fans in Miami is going to be another huge boost for this team.  Imagine being the Fish, opening up your stadium to a limited number of fans, and then seeing a lot of them being taken up by Bills Mafia.  Can’t wait.

That wasn’t a “busted play”. It was a bad attempt at a tackling that led to a Jets TD.

Dude, you’re miserable.  And I’ve been right about McD’s Bills much more than I’ve been wrong.  Feel free to research my post history.

To be fair....I counted 3 players miss tackles on that play (one of them being Edmunds)

 

Scott you are really interesting......I would get with a flying pig if you EVER pointed out the positive of a player on a given play on the bills.

It's ok to not pretend everything is sunshine and rainbows. However, it seems you hardly ever give credit when it's due at the same time, at least from the few post I've read from you. Then again I don't follow everything everyone says so.....

We had planned on attending this game way back when the schedule came out in the spring and then obviously never went through with it based on the times. 2 weeks ago my wife scheduled a major medical procedure which she just had 3 days ago and is still recovering. If we had known tickets would be so readily available we would be headed down and not bothered to schedule said procedure. Super bummed. 
 

Im very interested to see the ratio down there beings our rabid fan base is aware they may not get to see a game live for a long time this year, if at all.

I dont know of any Miami fans that usually go actually going. If you look online also you see a ton of tickets for sale.

Sounds like half the board who were predicting division champs and offensive power house prior to the season started.... only to suggest before the Jets game "hey, let's not get our hopes up offensively, they've had no preseason and limited training camp." 😅

 

Im on record as saying Bills win the division. 

Aren't you on record as saying Epenesa has JJ Watt potential? 😂

That really weak retort Pats fan.....and I already responded to you on that.....JJ Watt didnt have the vets in front of him that the bills have in front of AJ.

 

AJ has a load of potential....it remains to be seen if it pans out......but it is great that he is getting time to be brought along slowly.

[Lurker]

For those that can access it, Fairburn just dropped a terrific article on Fitz Magic and his time with the Bills...

Let's be serious about Epenesa vs Watt: it's not even close.

 

AJ might turn into a solid player, but JJ's athleticism is on a completely different level. It's not really reasonable to compare the two. 

 

If I was more savvy, or at least more diligent, I'd share their NFL Combine spider charts. It's just not comparable.

I'm a little nervous about our LB situation... But I feel we're still the better team .. I hope..
