It's Miami Week...Squish The Fish!!!!!

[Wyobills89]

Bills will just have to score every possession now. Still have a ton of faith in the team but that's a big loss for us losing both Hyde and Po. 

The offense will take that personal and just put up 56 tomorrow.

I’ve never betted on a sporting event before in my life, but I’m very tempted to here.

You expect more or less?

Way more

[uninja]

Damn we’re fielding 2nd string for our safeties, corners and defensive line. That’s 6 of our 11 defensive starters. Over 50%. 
 

Depth gonna get tested tomorrow. Go Bills. 

[Coach Tuesday]

The entire starting secondary and both starting DTs.  And it’s week 3.  

[zow2]

Seems like McDermott and Co are just going to wing it with depth on D tomorrow.  give everyone who needs a week off, the week off and Play some prevent defense.   They are betting on Josh having one of his usual games vs Miami which isn’t a bad thing. If they can get out of Miami with a W, the Bills can regroup and get guys back for Baltimore.

I'm sure there's some other thread for this but Poyer's out.  Our offense is going to have to carry the day.

 

 

I find this fascinating. I’m both intrigued and terrified. We’ve never seen a McDermott defense play a meaningful game without 1 of Poyer and Hyde.

 

There’s been 1 meaningful game where Hyde missed and they beat NE. Marlow and Josh Thomas filled in.

 

New territory.

[HappyDays]

I don't get it. The team is so good that our starters haven't needed to play a lot of snaps relative to the rest of the league and still we are down half of our starting defense and possibly our #2 WR. It can't get any unluckier than that.

[Warcodered]

Seriously, Josh said it after the Titans game, it doesn't matter if it's by 40 or 4 just ***** win.

[BillsFan130]

I know all seems brim with the secondary hurt.

 

But this is the type of game Josh puts the bills on his shoulders and finds a way to get a W.

 

Bills 31-28💪

When it rains it pours. Baltimore took a solid beating to start the year last year as well. Feels like San Fran has this happen every year. But you can’t uncover diamonds in the rough without first clearing some playing time for them.

Its just unfortunate bad luck and part of the game.  Look at how many the Ravens lost last year before the season even began.

I'm going ro be the most insufferable bastard on Twitter after the Bills win tomorrow.  These dolphin fans are just unbearable.

That’s what it is. Just unlucky. We gotta hope the backups don’t get injured or it’s a complete mess.

It will shut them all up for a while.  They act like the Bills being down starters means they are only going to field 6 guys.

Mostly what I’ve seen they expect to blow buffalo out and dominate. 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

We’ve all known at some point the safety tandem would get younger and cheaper. JaQuan Johnson has been waiting years for a chance. Hamlin is very qualified to start in this league. 
 

I know it was preseason but Hamlin and Johnson showed chemistry starting together. HUGE opportunity. I repeat, huge opportunity. 

[SCBills]

So we’re looking at a back end of Hamlin-Johnson and Elam-Benford-Johnson. 
 

Somebody lock Taron Johnson in his hotel room right now.

I've watched them this year and they were a wagon for 1 quarter.  They sucked the first 7.  Not sure where this dominance idea is coming from.

Confidence is huge in the NFL. Tua has it right now for the first time in his career. We’ll see where he goes from here.

the throwback TD to Diggs against the Titans. I mean, on the latter, I figured that was a pick. The cameraman didn't even think it was possible to make that throw and by the time they panned down I saw nothing but white jerseys until 14 popped out of the mess with the ball.

 

The throw to Diggs just previous to that that got them down into the red zone should be illegal.

That was the definition of arm arrogance.

I mean, I used to think Trent Edwards was going to be good.

[Scott7975]

All the Bills need to do is be in the right position, pressure Tua and make tackles.  Dont give up the yards after the catch. Eventually mistakes will be made if they do that.  McD is really good at getting his D to keep the ball in front of them.  They just need to tackle.  Our offense scores points too.

I'm not sure what I'm rooting for more here:

- A 42-6 win that exposes Tua as a limited QB that withers under pass rush.

- A 42-30 win that gives Dolphin fans false hope of false deliverance at the QB position, only to have their dreams crushed on their December Iditarod to Buffalo. Granted, it won't be late enough in the season where it'd be the likes of Antonio Williams and Dean Marlowe doing it.

[Blank Stare]

I love the potential of Jaquan and Hamlin, but boy this is f’n unbelievable to have all these injuries. 

[Scott7975]

Tua is not good under pressure.  We still have that going for us...

 

Quote

TuAnon revelers, unite! When pressured in 2021, Tagovailoa completed 49 of 104 passes for 606 yards, 356 air yards, three touchdowns, eight interceptions, and a passer rating of 43.2. Less than ideal when your offensive line allows 253 pressures — per Pro Football Focus, the most allowed by any front five in the league.”

 

 

[716er]

A little boozed and trying to find a silver lining on the injuries… two things

 

1. It’s better injuries happen earlier in the year. For Hyde’s replacement, it gives the Bills more time to determine if Johnson or Hamlin is the better fit with Poyer (when he is healthy).

 

2. Maybe a stretch but Hamlin and Johnson are faster than Poyer and Hyde. That’s probably the only trait in which they have an upper hand on the vets. Against a team with Waddle and Hill the faster guys might be the difference.

[Mango]

I was pretty bullish that Poyer would play this week. And I was pretty confident that Davis would go last week. 
 

Tuesday AM I took Buffalo to win and hammered the over. 
 

Based on my track record, I’m going to switch my bet to Miami -12.5

 

You’re welcome guys.

Keep drinking because the Hyde news is very bad for the Bills. When one of your productive veteran leaders go down there's no replacing that. All the spin or booze won't help.

I agree Allen will step it up. If the Bills rush is very good then they should win the game.

I get it but the Bills are in win now mode. Hyde and Poyer were the absolute best chance for the Bills to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. Their chances are still good but they decreased some.

That's really crazy to see how young and inexperienced and thin we are in the back end. Hill and Waddle will feast if Tua can get them the ball. I have to think Coach McDaniel will have a solid game plan to exploit the Bills secondary.

Im sure he will, but he’s got a mediocre-at-best OL with its best player gutting it out off an injury.  
 

I have yet to see a McDermott coached secondary struggle.  Maybe that ends tomorrow.  Or maybe the coaches and scheme are a bigger component than we realize. 
 

Hyde and Poyer weren’t “Hyde and Poyer” until they came to Buffalo.

I was thinking about this yesterday and the last time we saw cheetah, he was giving Poyer and Hyde the “peace out” sign running by them. So while we are not as good without them, i am hoping the new guys bring a little more speed too (knowing we are sacrificing experience and ability to pre-diagnose plays).

[CircleTheWagons99]

Worst part about tomorrows game will be if the Bills get a lead they will not shut up about how the phins came back in the 4th last week.

Keep coming back to see when someone is going to kick my other nut.

We will see tomorrow. Just seems like a huge ask for the Bills secondary. I don't think a McDermott scheme can make up for the CB inexperience and the monsters they face in Hill and Waddle. The two big hopes for a Bills win is a relentless pass rush and Allen dominating the Dolphins defense. It's really the formula from the Bills going forward until Tre comes back and the rookies CBs gain experience. The path to the Super Bowl got a little more difficult as of today.
