9/19/21 Week 2 Bills @ Dolphins Gameday Pregame Thread


Chandler#81

Recommended Posts

Haiku, Shmaiku! This is serious -with implications galore! We’ve owned these pretenders since Charles Clay dropped a GW TD, including our backups hanging fiddy on their playoff dreams a season ago. But, as we’re learning the hard way, Every season is different. McD acknowledged this ad nausea all camp, yet we were unprepared vs. a playoff team in the Opener. We let an excellent defensive effort slip away by handing the Stillers 3 T/Os resulting in 10 Points in a 7 point Home loss.. 🤦‍♂️

The Fish stole their Opener from NE* so they’re feeling pretty good about themselves. But they’ve been waiting for us for 9 full months. It’s their Home Opener and they have vengeance on their mind! Thankfully, we typically outnumber the soft southern Florida faithful Every time we play there -most of us know Bills fans who’ll be there, but the locals won’t need much on field success to turn blood in the water into blood on the Beach. 

 

“They didn’t pay me for what I’ve done, they’re paying me for what I’m going to do!” -J. Allen 

 

Josh, you’re being paid to find a win here today.

 

We remain heathy to date, which is a much better situation than many teams, and we’ll need a great effort by all 53 to get out of Miami with a .500 record! 

 

Bills breakdown: Our DL is much improved and after 13 months, the ‘Starless Knight’ appears finally ready to return. Our LBs and Secondary are outstanding, as is our PK, WRs & QB. If we play with the deserved chip on our shoulders to erase the bad taste of last Sunday, this should end well.

 

Dolphins breakdown: whatever.. 🤷‍♂️ Screw them! 🖕

 

(Note to @e-ball, stay in the hotel!!)

 

Go Bills!

An oldie but a goodie.

 


 

RIP Tim Russert, one of the best Bills fans ever.  If you ever read Big Russ and Me, who else devotes a chapter titled, “the Buffalo Bills”.

 

My dad actually knew his dad from the 1st Ward.

 

For me, I want to see the line bounce back and give Josh a nice clean pocket today.

Just win the damn game. The only thing that matters is to win the games, win the Super Bowl.  I don’t care whether the Bills win by 1 point or 77 points; just win.  Sure, it would be nice for the Bills to win comfortably, but this would just be the cherry on top.   

 

If by some chance Miami wins this game, I don’t want to hear about how good Josh Allen played or any records he or any other Bill set.  These things matter, if they matter at all, only if the Bills win the game.
 

I don’t expect the post game conversation (outside of TBD) to be about Josh Allen’s MVP run.  Instead, i expect the national media to talk about Tua; make excuses for him if necessary, praise him whenever possible.

Important game.  As was last week.  
 

Winning the division guarantees a playoff spot, and that starts today.  Sweeping divisional foes makes winning the division easier.

 

One concern I have is the Steelers are said to know how to defend NE’s offense, which ours is a version of.  They stumped Josh at times.  Miami has been a thorn in NE”s side for years and did beat them last week.  I’d Miami good?  Or is NE that bad this year?

It never crossed my mind that the O line would be on trial in game 2.

They were terrible last week. It also appears that Beane and Mc based on the draft are surprised by poor performance. Feliciano minus 25lbs is no Jim Richter or Reggie Mac.

This just made a rule change pop into my head: if a team sweeps their division, no matter their final record, they win their division. 
 

Not saying I want this. But could be interesting.

Hmm, not sure why we can’t run the ball. Miami’s run D isn’t all that great. If we can’t run the ball, it’s probably because we aren’t trying to

Sometimes I wonder if some Bills fans would be an interesting study in social psychology

 

Either that or the after-effects of too many Bowling Ball "shots to the haid"

haha— so true. the weather and field could be perfect, and we would be, “but they’re not used to playing in perfect conditions. I don’t like this one bit.”

Sal's keys to the game are interesting, but there's something that seems notable by its absence

Quote

1.) Protect the football

2.) Offensive line rebound

3.) Score touchdowns (well durr but a reference to the Bills going 1 for 4 in the RZ against Pitt)

 

Wonder if Miami's offense feels dissed

Not sure about that. Singletary has shown this year he's a tad stronger. I've always said that with that physical running style Moss is gonna kill a guy someday. I think if they commit to run the ball in those conditions they could wear down the Dolphins defense. Plus it's highly doubtful in my opinion that Miami would expect 35-40 RB handoffs.

 

On the other side of the ball Gaskin is their lead back and really doesn't scare me. They have a scattershot OL as well. If it comes to the running game I like our odds.

Because their line blows

 

Individually, here's how PFF graded the Bills' O-line, player-by-player:

Mitch Morse: 60.5.

Jon Feliciano: 39.9.

Ike Boettger: 53.4.

Dion Dawkins: 45.3.

Darryl Williams: 58.8.

Cody Ford: 64.7.

Using reverse psychology on ones self is what Bills fans have learned to do over the years. ;  )

So your logic is that because of how PFF graded the Bills OL on a game where we had 51 pass attempts, it proves we can't run?

Could be a very hard day for Dawkins, heat, humidity and covid long term issues.

Put people on ignore if you only want to hear bad things.

Insert generic Rex Ryan joke here.

You do ewalize the Bills aren't going up against Pittsburgh's front 4 again, right?
