I thought he made some good anticipatory short throws to guys who were NFL covered.

 

 

Oh, for sure.  I would like to see time to release stats, but yes the Dolphins were playing the "get the ball out fast" game.

Joe Marino read out his split stats when he releases in 2.5 seconds or less vs. over 2.5 seconds and the splits were very sharp. The numbers are sparkling when it's under 2.5 and I believe it was worst in the NFL when over 2.5 seconds.

So, my 19yo son just dredged out a 12 year old Facebook post where I promised to rock Bills Zubaz in public if the BIlls ever had a winning season again. Since that was the 7-9 Dick Jauron era, it seemed like a safe bet. Well, since he brought it to my attention I feel obligated to live up to my word. I just ordered us both pairs of the 'boz and an Allen jersey for myself. This is the first football jersey that I have ever bought. So, I need the that foolproof TBD advice; should I rock that new gear on Sunday or wait for a loss?

I expect (hope) that list will look a lot better tomorrow. Hopefully Jackson and Phillips are the only guys we are missing on Sunday. 

Here it is with the guys we know should be good for Sunday removed. Looks better without as many names lol.

Well Miami is hitting us at the right time.  Fully healthy I dont think Miami would stand a chance.  With these injuries I think this game is going to be tough.

Giving the guy credit is an anathema to many on this board and theirs apparently.  I went and compared the passing charts of Josh and Tua in weeks 1 and 2.  They look pretty darn similar.  Josh was completing the bulk of his passes in the 5-15 yards range.  Tua as well. And then I looked at Mahomes.  Same thing.   If Tua wasn't being discussed it would be said that Josh is playing with patience and taking what the defense is giving him, ala Brady.  But somehow on this board Tua playing very much the same type of game is mocked for throwing under the coverage.   Looking at the passes Tua threw in the 4th Qtr against Baltimore showed he can throw downfield with touch and distance.  The one TD was a 50+ air yard bomb on target.  It matters not that there were blown coverages in Baltimore.  Tua saw it, his receivers made it so and he put the ball on target 4 times.  If Josh did that we would be celebrating.  Tua clearly has the arm strength to throw it 50 yards.  In this NFL, that's all you need.  Is his arm as strong as others? Probably not.  It's arm and decision making and location that matter.  No one judges how pretty a TD pass is.  It's a TD pass.  Overthrown, underthrown, tipped, great one-handed catch, miraculous toe tap.  Matters not.  A TD is a TD.

 

The great thing about this week is with all the huffing and puffing from both fan bases aside, they get to play H2H.  We will know if the passing stats below will hold up.

 

Interesting Passing Stats:  Pretty darn even

 

TDs: Josh-7, Tua-7

Ints: Josh-2, Tua-2

Yards: Josh-614, Tua-739

Rating: Josh-123.7, Tua-116.5 

Comp%: Josh-75.4%, Tua-71.1%

 

Since Josh got pulled before the 3rd quarter was over, I think we should remove Tua's 4th quarter stats to see how they stack up with equal playing time!

Watching some of the coverage on Miami kinda pisses me off.

 

We struggle for respect after turning things around, essentially regularly making the playoffs during the Mc D era, winning , yes being usually flawed, but often facing a sea of haters or doubt. 

 

Now maybe for the last year we get more love, but that year after the Texans it still took a long time to convince people we were good, and even now folks still talk about that year we played the Texans as some sort of 'bad' season for Josh. 

 

I just feel people are too spring loaded to buy into this phins team.

 

Tua looks bad for 2 years, has an AVG game versus a weak Pats team and 1 sick half versus the Ravens and suddenly they are the golden era 49ers.

Didn't they lose a starting guard to IR?

Yeah I thought of that imbalance.  Nothing you can do about it.  It might have leveled up the yards and leveled down the QBR and completion percentage.  Best leave sleeping dogs lie.

Tua was really good in college, and that matters a lot to people. Everyone said that he was a sure thing, and they are dying to be right about a pre-draft take for once. It's also one of the most compelling games of the week and they are trying to generate interest.

They have one starting OT on IR until week 6 (Austin Jackson) and their other tackle (Terron Armstead) is questionable.  CB Byron Jones is on the PUP and Xavien Howard is questionable.    

 

For some reason the miami injury report shows nothing but Bills players.

Nice only 4 people DNP. That is good after the past 2 weeks. We are getting our inside D-Line and Davis back just in time to take Tua out of the game.

Dunno.  I dont really follow them all that much.  Back in the day I use to follow like every team.  Now I just care about the Bills.  I'll watch other teams but dont really follow whats going on with their roster.

I remember a Bills team that rolled into the 1992 AFC Championship Game down in Miami that was kinda banged up too...
