I thought Sean definitely brought his B-game today.


yeah, what was the deal with not challenging the early Tua knee down/sack, and then we really misused our TO’s at the end of the game. I didn’t even like the use of our last TO before the kick, because now you have no challenges and it also assumes Bass was going to make that kick— we may have needed the TO.

Yes to all that.

Going for it on 4th and 6 right before the half was inexcusably stupid as well.

The classy guys at Finheaven are currently wishing for a career ending injury to Josh Allen so they must be particularly pissed this week.

 

Seriously, I've never seen so many messages wishing for a serious injury on another player, not even Brady which is pretty amazing.

If any of them happen to be over here right now, I'd just like to say ***** Miami.

My random game afterthoughts:

 

1. The way the Fins use Waddle is boarderline criminal. He really doesn't fit that offense with Tia.

 

2. Josh was excellent on the 2nd half. However one pet peeve I have of this is he needs to play football and not worry about pointing out flags mid play. Hate when Brady does it. Hate when Mahomes does it. Just play.

 

3. I liked what Sweeney did late on the game. I believe I get why the staff was so willing to wait for him to bloom a bit. 

 

3. Gabe Davis should have the nickname "Cowbell"...because we need more Davis. 

 

4. Can we trade Feliciano for Bobby Hart? Or would that be too much of a lateral move? 

 

6. Seems that QBs these days just get the ball out ways too fast to be as heavily invested in a d-line rotation as we are.

 

7. For the love of all things holy...can we please shred all Daboll's little cute trick plays? 

 

8. Josh is, in my opinion way more responsible for the Bills offensive success that Daboll is.

 

9. Edmunds and Milano can lay the lumber out there.

I don't know, people seemed worried we didn't have enough tough games on the schedule, team finds a solution and now everyone's complaining.

Maybe your on to something. Let’s come up with a crap game plan and see if we can still when. Check. Next week we let the offense play but the d has run prevent all game and still hold them to field goals only.

I am not sure what Daboll saw that made him think we need to throw the majority of passes behind it at the line of scrimmage. It was until we started going downfield that the o did anything. Felt like we had to protect a qb that can’t throw vs the worlds best secondary.

It's almost as if people do not realize that winning in the NFL is VERY hard. You take them any way you can get them!

Sh*tty grazer helmets made the offense look like the 1971 offense that lost 28-23 to the St. Louis Cardinals 50 years ago today.

 

Throw them away........not back. :thumbsup:

 

And Marcus disagrees.

 

We are allowed our opinions and I am all for nostalgia, but how does it not look like this?

Miami was taking the downfield away like all teams do to the Bills now.  They have to throw short to get them out of it.

So I said the Dolphins would play us hard.

 

I was a bit shocked by how poorly our D played at the start of the game.  I thought they played as though they’d been reading their own press clippings.

 

Discuss!

I was wrong to speculate that Tua might break out in this game, but for most of it he played well enough keep the outcome in doubt. I did say that the Dolphins as a whole would come out wanting to prove those who said Josh had their number wrong, and that Flores was coaching to keep his job. The Fins defense had the Bills completely bollixed in the first half and for much of the second. 

I expect the Bills to come back stronger in their next few games, barring serious injuries.

Well at least at the end he proved you right about exploding.

Today's game is a good example of why I don't think being the 1 seed is the most important. I truly believe teams can lose a little bit of their MOJO during time off 

Maybe.

 

But even if bye hurts you somehow in the way you describe it is still much better to have it since it is MUCH better to have one less game overall and CG at home.

I thought the 40 yd pass on 4th and 6 from the Buffalo 44 was a great play (now that we won).  Balls Out play.

 

Of course, it was total weak sauce that we let them convert it, but I liked the Swag that they went for it and Tua hit it for the conversion.

Listening to Allen apologize for the embarrassing win in the post game presser. JHC we used to live for these wins.

Yeah, we definitely need a new Punter already. Bojo couldn't hold the damn ball correctly on FGs and this dude can't punt to save his damn life.

I do not disagree. However, it is nice that our punter is not the best player on the team like we lived for many years in the Moorman era.

While I agree with you there but damn, wasn't Moorman fun to watch? Such a talented athlete.
