NFL Week #3 - Bills at the Dolphins - Post game thread

[BADOLBILZ]

 

The inability to win one score games can't just be excused as some mathematical oddity.   

 

If they are playing a team they are supposed to beat and that team stands up to them......they make too many dumb mistakes...and then Allen just clenches up and makes emotionally altered plays in the clutch.    That goes for Leslie Frazier as well, not just the players.   I'm just mystified by that call that set up the winning TD for Miami.    Called such a good game and then that inexcusable bonehead f*cking call.

 

Hopefully this is somehow a learning experience about dealing with adversity better but this is not much better than the Jacksonville loss.     They had the ball all game on offense and couldn't score because of mistakes.    Some of that is the lack of dynamic offensive players causing them to have to go 20 plays to get the length of the damn field.........but clearly too much of their offense is Allen buying 5-7 seconds to throw, in which case even the Reggie Gilliams types can get open.

I’m going to chalk this loss up to injuries and the heat. Let’s crush them in Buffalo.

It took a shocking amount of things going wrong for this outcome to happen. Even with the depleted roster we still appeared to be a significantly better team to my eyes.

Anyone wanna guess the injury report for next week?  🤦‍♂️

I think most was just heat exhaustion and cramps.  We should be fine and hopefully get Morse, Poyer and Oliver back.  I'm thinking Phillips and Jackson might be another week

Curious how they respond from here

 

This game meant a lot to the phins

Tua isn't a QB to lead a team to greatness. However, the Bills are in a race now. Not going to stroll to another Div title.

I am sorry, but playing in that heat was plain dangerous for both teams. You would think the union would have issues about that. There had to be like 20+ Guys who went out.

and require there to be some type of cover for both teams!

One of the worst viewing experiences. Dumb/self defeating plays are the hardest to watch and this game was FULL of them 

 

second and goal at the one…..SHOTGUN 

I dont know why I'm not seeing this more (maybe I'm missing them) It's second & goal (and what less then a yard). Why are they going shotgun? Instead Allen gets drilled on a run play (is that where he hurt his hand). 

JUST QB SNEAK. If he is stuffed, it's still at least on the one 🤬

I think missing Morse was the biggest loss today, dolphins were killing the line today 

I think that mattered more than everyone in the secondary.

It really was wild eh.

[Turk71]

  I knew that stupidity at the end of the first half would cost them. What the ***** was that anyway?

 

Bills went out of their way to lose that game. Over 40 minutes of possession, 500 yards to 212 and somehow you lose. Unreal.

Tough one in the heat. Gotta put it away and move on.

 

The fish may think they won the superbowl but this Bills team has real plans for that this season. 

 

This won't matter in the long run. 

Are you kidding? They’ll be talking about this one in 2050 like they still talk about the Monday Night game against the ‘85 Bears.

Probably not, but it gives yo a chance for a play near the sideline with time still on the clock. Doesn’t matter as the Bills had plenty of mistakes today which cost them. It should not have even come down t that play anyway. 

Yeah true

 

Still think McKenzie's first thought was get yards and out of bounds, when in Hindsight it should have been yards and get down. Would have gotten a spike off

We might yet. 

[Success]

This ain't the Jags game from last year.  Just a hard-fought division battle, against a good team at their place, in tough conditions.  And that team was desperate to finally beat the Bills.

 

This game represents nothing to me aside from a loss. Hopefully most of the injuries are short term.  

 

[Juice_32]

This is the most chill I’ve been after a loss in a long long time.

 

Yes we lost today, but we are by far the superior team, and I really don’t think it’s close.

The only thing I can take from this game is that I get why they were conservative with some of the injuries calls here. This is a week where Buffalo didn't win the war of attrition, and hopefully all the guys cramping get healthy now that we got a normal week.

Pi no call on Gabe Davis was game changer by refs. Every close call ( that one wasn’t) went for Miami.

After that phantom Benford hold, refs let all these corners play handsy today. That really helped Miami with their man coverage.

[Turk71]

It should be no surprise to anyone, including coaching staff, that the oline sucks. Little talent and no depth, and guess what? Josh is not really Superman.
