Scott7975 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 3 hours ago, North Buffalo said: Phins D played really well... Offense after first 2 drives looked just a little out of synch enough so they couldnt finish drives. Probably because our offense had guys popping in and out of the game because of heat. Receivers going in and out. Davis wasnt really ready but Kumerow got hurt. Our entire line was different besides Dawkins. I think we were on our 3rd string center at points of the game. Diggs and McK going in and out of the game. Those things seriously disrupt everything. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What that tells me is Dorsey had no confidence in the line today. Miami ran it against us in goal to go yardage and has success. No reason why we can't do the same unless they have convinced themselves they can't. Hell, run 3 straight QB sneaks for crying out loud. You needed less than a yard. I know it's been discussed a lot but it just drives me crazy - who doesn't think if Josh tries to fall forward 3 times he doesn't get in once. Freaking QB sneak is automatic for 80 yrd old Brady for 20 yrs - how can they not expect Josh to be successful once in multipe tries 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBonhamRocks Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 More encouraged than not about today. You’ve all seen the laundry list. It took many things to go the Dolphins way. The fact is we should have easily won this game despite playing with half our team. Still, credit where it is due. While the Dolphins offense didn’t do all that much, their defense played great albeit dirty. That defensive back did strip the ball from Davis so that’s a play they made not just Davis dropping it. They made it really tough on Allen despite being on the field all day. But with a healthy offensive line I’m not worried about that matchup. Bass has to be reliving that 38 yarder over and over unless there was a snap or holding issue. If we get a few more bodies back I’m actually thinking this has the makings of a spanking for Baltimore with some pent up feelings about this game.

PromoTheRobot Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) It's almost like the strategy of long drives backfired on the Bills. It kept our D fresher but also the Dolphins offense. Meantime our offense was gassed but the Dolphins were just better enough.

Does not mean they are trash like I read all week on here. I don't think they're trash, but I don't think they're anywhere as good as their record either. If you can barely break 200 yds of offense against a team with basically 1/2 their defensive starters out, If I'm a Miami fan, I'm not thinking Super Bowl this year.

Beast Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 The Bills need a straight up power back for short yardage situations. Yes, the line needs to block better but I also want a brute that can carry a player across the damned line of scrimmage if he's hit behind it.

It doesn't matter what back you have if the person calling the plays has no faith in the O-line to be able pick up less than a yard with 3 cracks at it. You could have the Fridge, Earl Campbell, or Christian Okoye back there and it wouldn't matter. Moss has the size to be the goal line back and he's impressed me with a lot of the carries he's had this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like getting any pressure on the QB whatsoever never even crossed their mind. If you have a decimated secondary, the LAST thing you should be trying to do is to give the opposing QB time to find the hole in the coverage. Maybe this has been discussed, but I think Milano or Edmunds missed an assignment. I think one of them was supposed to rush/blitz. We ran a similar concept Week 1 against the Rams (blitzed Milano/Dropped Von). This time Groot dropped in coverage... Very odd to run a Cover 2/only 3 man rush concept on 3rd and 22. We NEVER rush just 3 guys, like once out of a 100 plays. Something was miscommunicated, JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Positive Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) One of the reasons that the Dolphins won today is that they treated it like a playoff game and we treated it like week 3. They played guys that we would have sat. Terron Armstead didn’t practice all week and played with a bad toe. Little kept coming back into the game although he was obviously hurt. Tua came back in like it was a playoff game. And they still should have lost if our guys could have stopped cramping. Now they have to go to Cincinnati to play a newly confident Bengals team in 4 days. Good luck.

beebe Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 as an outside observer, i came into this season certain the bills were the #1 team in the league and this outcome only reaffirmed it. you won't see a more dominant looking box score between two playoff level teams the rest of the year. this was a one-sided game. 40 mins to 20 mins TOP. 31 first downs to 15 first downs. 11-of-18 on 3rd down to 3-of-8 on third down. 497 yards to 212 yards. if you didn't watch the game and saw only the box score, you'd assume the bills were far and away the better team. now add the context of missing five defensive starters, having a rotating cast of OL who were in and out, another handful of players who were exiting the game due to being exhausted by the heat or sickness or both...and it's clear who is the better team (and who will be going forward). despite all the pre-game losses (including late scratch to morse) and the matchup disadvantages, the bills still closed as a 4-point road favorite. they're a 3-pt road favorite next week at the ravens (despite likely having a poor injury report again). this team is a juggernaut. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
