Beasley to me was an obvious call up. All it really says to Miami is... they want Beasley in the line up and to call someone else up. Having Bease out there is kind of a given. To anyone that paid attention to the Bills. 3 hours ago, Lionel Hutz said: Bears were leading at halftime.

I don't get why that is so hard for anyone to understand. So like its only comfortable to you if they blow someone out in the first quarter? Thats pretty damn rare in the NFL this year. See the Ravens/Miami game. I bet Ravens felt real comfortable... until the 4th quarter. There is a reason they play a full game. What you are looking for isnt happening in the NFL this year.

If the quality metric for a game is whether a team is winning at halftime, then the Ravens dominated us (news flash: they lost), and we dominated the Vikings (news flash: we lost) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Water Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Mango said: What if we dress McK and Beasley, but make Shakir a healthy scratch… TBH, I’m kind of with the guy who asked “why do we need to dress 6 LB?” I’d rather see us dress 6 WR If McKenzie can’t go, call up John Brown and make him active. If he can go, snip someone off the LB list I don’t see it happening, but given how little we play base defense….. The thing is, on that John Brown TD, Allen commented that the safety went to McKenzie leaving Brown open. IIRC Gabe and McKenzie were running deep crossers and the safety went with McKenzie there too. Bills fans think little of him but having two fast guys makes a difference, especially when TDs have been caught in previous games. It’s harder on a defense to shut things down.

Does it have to be a wire to wire blowout? Cuz those are pretty rare Blowouts were the expectation and standard at the beginning of the season. Bills were the consensus Super Bowl juggernaut (according to Eisen, they were coming for your soul). They have a great record, but the dominance vanished. No wire to wire blowouts is concerning in that context. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those games were never in doubt and weren't "blowouts in the first quarter." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The saying is it’s hard to beat a team twice in the same season and harder still to beat them 3x in the same season. You learn their tendencies, the small tells, in a way just film study won’t always give you. The Dolphins have a very inventive DC and sound OC. They’ve got some good players on D. They played us hard both games and had some success. But I don’t feel they beat us, or came close to beating us, in either game. Even with the heat and the injuries, we beat ourselves - with a fumble on the Buffalo 6 yd line in the first game leading to a TD and a missed FG; with a strip-sack fumble and the World’s Dumbest RTK Penalty in the 2nd game. There were other miscues but those stand out. I don’t think the team is taking them lightly at all. But “they deserved to win” is silliness. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNYfan Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I think it is not terribly out of order to say that the Bills looked the better team, for the most part, the first meeting. But the Dolphins looked every bit our equal the second game. So my thinking is this will be a very difficult match-up and the Bills need to be focused and ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better communication Yeah, first play broken down in Cover1 Disguised Coverage, make a big deal out of how Dolphins motion forces us to adjust and we left a gap leading to a 13 yd run but even they eventually comment “that has to be some kind of miscommunication” which left 2 DBs snuggled up on the R side of the field. Plus a missed tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully agree with you. I think there is a non-zero chance we dress old man (2 catches in 2 games) Beasley and sit Shakir. Which would be wild.
