In two games, Dorsey seems more committed to the run than Dabol. However, in the end it's Allen who makes this team go. Many of the runs end us as passes due to the RPO concepts we run...most of those throws to Diggs on the outside would have been runs if the defenders weren't playin off coverage on him so much and giving us free 7-12 yard gains. Very similar to what Tom Brady used to do in NE...simply pull the ball from the RB and throw it to uncovered WR for easy yards. Allen talked about their passing game being part of their running game.

I think this offense has a decent run threat now. Not great but enough to be a great offense. I really liked that Allen only had to run once last game. I do think his legs will be used more vs better teams and bigger games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then after beating on the Rams in LA people were worried about the Titans coming off a loss to the Giants and we saw how that turned out. Now it's the Dolphins and big bad Tua, fresh off his one quarter of good play, and the board are getting their collective panties in a bunch. This fanbase has been down for so long some fans don't know how to react to success...next thing you know you see threads popping up about missing the losing...WTF are you kidding me??? Look, this team is good with a chance to be great. Probably the best Bills team I have seen in my lifetime. Don't let a few injuries to the secondary scare you when the Bills are facing a noodle-armed QB that has done exactly zero against a McD/Frazier defense in his first two seasons. Yeah he has some fast receivers, but we have a new and improved monster of a D line to get after him, and our own Superman under center when we have the ball. Bills by a billion. I mean after 3 years of historically good performances over that length of time you'd think things would change...if this team can't get you out of that mindset, I don't think anything ever will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to say he's probably right...if Tua throws 10 TD's Buffalo are in trouble 😆 We just need Tua to keep playing like he did in the second half last week and we will win. Tua and the team was in desperation mode at that point and that’s not normally how they run their offense. It’s usually short, quick passes. Ravens had only two healthy pass rushers for that game AND a totally depleted secondary by that point. It will be interesting to see if they go back to their normal offense or decide to let him drop back and throw downfield due to all the success he had in the 4th qtr, which isn’t his forte (holding on to the ball).

I watched both Dolphins games in their entirety this year. Tua is very sackable and I was not overly impressed with him. Doesn't really look much different than he did the last year and a half, just has better weapons around him and threw the ball up to wide open WR's in the 4th quarter. He certainly didn't look like that the previous 7 quarters I watched. Actually Tua is kinda middle of the pack this year at 2.4 seconds on average. Allen is 2nd in the NFL at 2.1 seconds. Tua also is the 3rd most blitzed and 4th most hurried QB in the league. What happens when he is hurried as much or more but without the blitzes? https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/advanced-stats-qb.php Edited September 23, 2022 by Big Turk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 We can get by missing those three. Our entire offense would be a go. Just need to hope Hyde is not long term. If we end up missing Gabe, another DT and poyer, then there would be some concern. But right now I'm not worried. Bills putting up 30+.

They aren't matched up on them tho. The Bills are playing zone 91% of their snaps this year, highest in the NFL. It ends up being a team defense strategy.

Not saying we don’t need them or that it would be easy, but I think Jaquan is ready to play. That said, missing both Hyde and Poyer along with two rookie CBs might be too much on defense. And I like Hamlin and this staff’s ability to coach up the secondary, but boy that’s a lot of missing experience on the back end. Edit: Not at all suggesting this means we lose. Just that the defense may give up more and look a lot different. That said, I still have a lot of faith in Josh and the rest of the O to pick up the D.

Just when I thought I had seen the most delusional post, another one comes along. This guy thinks the dolphins have a more talented 53 than the Bills and that their D line and defense is just as good. You can't make this stuff up! PhinFan1968 said: 100% going to depend on the OL. If we can stimy, or at least mitigate that beast ass D line they have, we're in business. Especially on 3rd down. TannDaMan17 said: It’s not that great. Our dline and defense in general is just as good as theirs. We just need Tua to keep playing like he did in the second half last week and we will win. Obviously their defense is better than Baltimores, but they got injuries and don’t have as much talent on the 53 as we do, contingent on the performance of Tua Tagovailoa. I believe. I don’t think those are wild takes. With a beat up secondary, we’ll need a big showing from our DL to help give our DB’s some slack against a good WR pair. The not as much talent on the 53 seems absurd. But he is right saying that whatever their talent level is is contingent on Tua keeping up pace from last weeks Q4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a rookie, unproven, and matching up against an elite WR. That doesn't instill confidence. Everyone is banking on a creepy Tua and a Bills pass rush. We will see how it plays out. All I know is the Dolphins have a glaring Bills hole to try to expose. Hyde out certainly makes a huge difference too.

Logic Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Presuming Gabe is healthy and our offense is essentially intact, I keep coming back to the same thought: I just don't see how the Dolphins are going to stop Josh Allen or score enough points to keep up with the Bills offense. Will they put up points against our defense, given the incredibly banged up secondary? Probably, yes. But I watched Lamar Jackson cut through the Dolphins defense like a hot knife through butter last Sunday. The Ravens were a goal line fumble away from scoring 42 points. Even WITH our defensive injuries, I can't see the Dolphins scoring more points than the Bills. I firmly believe that our defense will limit their offense more effectively than their defense will limit our offense. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
