Andy1 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 The fins are legit good. Hill and Waddle are the two fastest receivers in the league. They have players on D and good coaching. Tua has limitations but the team around him might be better than the team around Josh. We are lucky to have Josh the alien at the most important position.

I mean, obviously it was a great, huge, fundamental win for our season, in a comeback way… but the fact that in this kind of weather we won just at the last second, it was a little irritating or not at all ? Winning at the last second it’s always a pleasure, especially against the hated fish, but burning them in a blowout would have been a strong signal also, to the entire League. Don’t you think ? What’s your take ? I prefer the hard fought battles. Really prepares the players for the playoffs where you lose you go home. Sure it's frustrating when there are mishaps and twists and turns unexpected but learning to deal with those situations you can handle them better when it may count alot more. The close loss to our Bills can cause the Dolphins a bit in team chemistry. Not all teams share a strongly bindedcteam. Alot of that is developed by overcoming adverse situations. So while the outcome is still in doubt it is very nerve-wracking, but the successful defeat in a close contest is more satisfying than an easy one sided game that offers no challenges. The harder something is to attain the more value most people attach to that goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunTheBall Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I preferred this type of game honestly. I mean my heart didn’t, but in retrospect this is another W that keeps these guys humble and hungry. Battle tested. Nothing better than getting the ball with 5:56 left and methodically, slowly, tearing the guts out of the Fins and their lame fan base. That’s championship level football right there and it came against a big rival in a very meaningful game. Throw in the snow globe 4th quarter and it was one of those once in a decade (although with Josh it’s becoming once a year) wins. 11-3. On to Chicago. One game at a time. It’s going to be like this until the season is over. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 2 hours ago, Eastport bills said: This is a feisty team with the nastiest , most physically talented QB, the NFL has ever seen. We’re not a great team on both sides of the ball. We have injuries, rookies playing in the secondary and an O- line playing with journeyman at 3 positions after Morse went down. The good news is that the core players find a way to win and McDermott steadies the ship when we face adversity. Dorsey is a work in progress , but he leans on Josh to make up for short comings in protections and a conventional running attack. The long drives that helped us win yesterday, featured Josh’s full repertoire of running and finding crossers against a highly motivated, rugged defense. This is the way we win. As we go forward look for close games that come down to a few plays by our star core players. It’s not perfect but there is not one team that would be more equipped to wi it all. I’m with you until the last statement. I see a number of good teams that are on the same level Philly, Dallas, KC,Cincy, Miami, and watch the Chargers as they get healthy. I would not say that the Bills are any better than any of those teams, but they are probably just as good as any. if you compare the Bills’ roster against the Phins, I think Miami has more good player. Allen was the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasBB Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 In 1st meeting, it was Buffalo kicking FGs when they should have been scoring TDs. This game was kind of the opposite. I'm okay with how the game played out since we got the win. It was a bit of payback for way we lost 1st meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take issue with the boneheaded mistakes that happen too often this season to our Bills. But as long as we have Josh, we have a shot. I am glad the game was close. The Bills have to continue to prove that we can win these close games. If the game against the Bears is close, I will be concerned.

The fact anybody needs to rely on Mother Nature to give a reason to beat a division opponent is scary. The weather didn’t affect Miami in the slightest, they showed up, Tua played well, Mostert ran roughshod over us, and we let banana balls over the top kill us. Miami is a good team, the difference was we have a QB who decided to take the game away from them, in a way maybe another qb can’t do.

BigAl2526 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I'm very concerned about the Bills' inability to stop the run against certain opponents, and the utter ineffectiveness of the Bills' running offense through most of the game. I'm glad Singletary finally enjoyed some production in the 4th quarter, but when the run game is that bad, it puts a lot of pressure ono the passing offense.

CEN-CAL17 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Miami was a very desperate team last night… losing last 2 games. They are a division rival which is always tough. Bills made a handful of plays that cost us. 2 penalties in the second half allowed them opportunities to score their last 10 points… If the Bills limited the big penalties and connected on the 2 big plays to Diggs and McKenzie…. The score could have easily been 35-20… ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I’ve said this in other threads, but if we’re being completely honest, given the many games missed by injured players, we’re a .500 ball club with an MVP who plays QB. IF, and this is a huge and very unlikely IF, we win the Super Bowl, the MVP Trophy -like in the NHL- needs to be renamed the Josh Allen Award. 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard to manage expectations and it’s possible the Bills make it more challenging to manage than some other teams. My take: some teams match up really well and others have your number. Dolphins and Jets seem to know how to play well against the Bills and given their decent records they are good teams. I don’t know that it’s about domination for me but more consistent execution. I don’t necessarily expect TDs every possession but field position changes at the very least! I don’t expect three and outs every defensive series but 7,8,9 yard runs every first down can not happen. And then the brutal special teams gaffes….I’m not so sure that wasn’t a called punt block from coaching by the way….. and why that would need to be called in that moment or any for that matter is beyond me given the offense we are supposed to have at our disposal. Anyway I think history mandates we can’t know what to expect from this team…regardless of what era. The word was Bills were unstoppable and got stopped. Then it was Bills can’t win the one score game and then…they are gutting it out and rattle off 5 straight in closer games. Who knows but for now their record has them #1 and that’s pretty darn good! Handle business is the expectation regardless of how just handle the job at hand and all is well. Go Bills! They keep you on the edge of your seat. To me that is about as much fun as you can ask for ! Bills got all the heart . and the skills/talent will continue to improve as a whole. McBeane is building this Bills Franchise into long term contenders as well as SB prospects. Now the Dolphins and then Jets are working hard at taking over the roles that NE left vacant too. Love the competition and hard fought games within the division ! Pretty darned good is right Go Bills 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Their best player not named Hill is their Left Tackle and he’s currently being held together by duct tape. When he’s not on the field that offense completely melts. I don’t know how the Dolphins finish this season but that roster on defense is the most underachieving unit in the NFL. They are a team of mercenaries. There is no culture there - just the cesspool that owner has created. Also, Wes Welker is their WR Coach. As if I needed another reason to despise that team. They used all draft capital and lost a piece because of tampering. They aren’t built for long term success they were built to try and win ASAP before having to pay a QB. The proof of that is they risked the long term health of their current QB putting him back out there in RD 1 against us because they also knew they had a game 4 days later. Vs another AFC super power they’re trying to be as relevant as. F them and their fans. I like Tua tho. Good human I’m sorry you’re in that organization. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
