They favor this Florida team, yes.

 

This Bills team is soft and the OC doesn't want to run the football. We caught a real break when they let us move the Cleveland game to Detroit or that woulda been a loss. 

 

Um...you do realize the game against the Browns (where the game plan was drawn up expecting Buffalo and snow) featured a season-high number of 2 TE and 2 RB sets? 

 

We rushed 33 times, passed 27 times, and gained 171 yards on the ground.

Tua:  "Look guys, it snows in Alabama, too."

 

Total snow depth for Tuscaloosa for the months of November and December in 2017, 2018, and 2019 (when Tua played at Alabama): 0.0 inches.

 

Road games that Tua played in November and December during his Alabama career: at LSU (dome) in 2018; at Mississippi State in 2019. Temperature in Starkville on that date: 52 degrees. Precipitation: zero point zero.

If they move another game then enough of the BS. Build a dome and if the location is a serious issue then there needs to be rethinking of plans. 

 

Please stop with this.

 

In neither instance was the game-day weather a factor in moving the game to Detroit.  Both games would still have been moved if Highmark was a dome.

Pro Football Reference has Milano (Missed Tackles - 13.5%) a total of 12 missed tackles.

Bills overall at 7.5%.

Thanks.  I have Damar Hamlin with more by my eye than PFR (5.9%).  Apparently PFF (not that they are great) had him at 14 missed tackles through 12 weeks so there is some subjectivity to all this (as I mentioned).  Would like to know where Marino got his numbers

The Dolphins passing game is the short to intermediate routes over the middle. The weather won’t affect them as much as it will the Bills. Allen likes to push the ball downfield and outside the numbers. It’s why he struggles in poor weather.

Tua is listed at PFR as second in intended air yards per target.  I dont think its fair to say he throws just short and intermediate (agree on the over the middle).  The dolphins run an explosive pass game that wants to stretch you vertically.  Working in the middle of the field mitigates this some, but I suspect Frazier is gonna take that away.  I think the elements could really affect Tua if hes trying to throw deep and outside.  

 

Also Josh struggles in poor weather?  Please review the WC game against the Pats and come to the same conclusion

The DOME doesn't stop games from being moved due to historic level weather events.  See New Orleans Hurricane

 

And see the Sabres games that have been postponed.  Last I checked, they play inside, and only a third as many people needed to get there.

Yeah well they better build a dome over all of WNY then!

You do realize that SUNY boy joined the board on the Monday before the Browns game.

I find these trolls that way all the time.

This is a really good and interesting article.

 

TL;DR synopsis: SF and the Chargers both stopped the Dolphins, but the defenses they did it with were completely different.

 

The 49ers rushed 4, played zone - quarters or 2 deep - and relied upon their linebackers to cover the middle.

The Chargers played press man, very aggressive.  Then, on 3rd down, they showed pressure/man and dropped into zone coverage.

 

Evidently there's more than one way to stop a Dolphin.

 

In the Bills earlier meeting, I think we played them more along the SF model.  We got good pressure with 4 but only sacked Tua twice; we kept them from converting 3rd downs (3 of 8).  We also played to contain Hill and gave up a reasonably big day to Waddle.

 

Will be interesting to see what the Dolphins game plan is and what the Bills try to do to contain it.
