This reminds me of ...us back when we would start 1-0 and demand the Patriots and then lose by 35. 

 

True, but you have to admit the Dolphins have way better weapons than we had. Simply having Tyreek & Waddle makes them scarier on offense than we ever were.

If Allen had a 400+ yd game and 6 TD's, I would think it an accomplishment. I would not care how injured the other team was, how bad their coaching was, yadda.

Why wouldn’t that matter lol? that’s a strange take. I’d take 299 yards against a perennial Super Bowl favorite over 1000 yards against a teams practice squad defense…especially if we’re trying to extrapolate the results from todays game to how Miami will perform against the bills. 
 

NEs defense is not as good as ours and they didn’t have much trouble slowing Miami down.  That’s a lot better indicator of how we will do than a bunch of dudes off the street in the Baltimore secondary.

Wait, are we really going to pretend nearly 500 yards & 6 TD's isn't a great accomplishment in the NFL regardless of the opponent?

 

That's not a common stat line for a reason. We all know Allen is better than Tua, easily... but c'mon, it's not a slight to Allen to acknowledge a great performance from someone else.

Doesn’t mean it won’t work for the Bills. They’ll probably expect to be more sound than Baltimore across the board. 

Lol that will not be hard to do…that was honestly one of the worst defensive performances I’ve ever seen. I’m not sure how many people actually saw the game here. Baltimore was blowing routine coverages all day

True but its also hard to cover that speed.  I think Miami is ***** with Tua but that receiving core is the real deal.

 

Oh the WRs are really good. But when the DB stands still and doesn't run with the WR, it's hard not to be open especially when the safety is doing his own thing somewhere else.

What, you think Waddle and Hill are better than David Nelson and an aging Lee Evans?

I thought guys like Cappa and Lael Collins would at least improve the line as a whole. So far, it ain't happening.

 

Burrow also looks very skittish.

 

Collins is not the player he was. His mobility is majorly reduced by hip surgery. 

 

Cappa is a good player but not a great one. He isn't the type who lifts the level of those around him.

It honestly was probably the worst half of DB play I've ever seen.

Some say that is the QB's job, to throw with anticipation. Allen even said he needs to get better at this, because the Bills were one of the worst YAC teams last season.

 

Yeah, I dont think its that simple.  Hill and Waddle are beasts and still get YAC after bad throws.  Sure, some of it may be ball placement but our guys just arent YAC guys except for maybe McKenzie if he holds onto the ball.  For all the whining about losing Beasley, even he lost a step last year which is why he is riding the sofa.

Yep 100%. 
Tua is not scary at all.  The WR’s are. 

I’m no coach, but I’d hope to bring strong pressure on Tua all game… take away any time he has to look past his first read.  Linebackers need to gobble up those short passes. Young CB’s need to do their best to cover as long as they can, and Poyer/Hyde come in the rescue.. and nothing deep. 
 

Oh yeah, Josh needs to go ahead and backhand the dolphins D… which looked very mediocre today.

Didn’t see it save for the last few minutes. I’ll take your word for it ; seemed like an epic collapse.

Those are the kinda stats that are needed for the MVP award.

Lol yea if he could do anywhere close to that against an above average defense on a consistent basis. You’re not gonna see defenses like that too often with the schedule the afc east drew this year. 
 

He played about the same as he did in the NE game but NE didn’t forget how to communicate on defense in week 1
