Mostly I was to. Just not in the 4th quarter with a lead. I mean I almost through a major hissy fit on that long ball to Shakir on 3rd and 1, half way into the 4th.

 

This ain’t madden. Those plays are really hard to complete 

You have an elite QB and I think it's reasonable to infer he should execute those plays. That's what elite means. The more difficult play to execute is the 4th down play to Beasley.

If he suspected we didn’t have the right coverage over top for whatever reason on the 4th down he was right because the WR got behind everyone.  
 

Tyreek Hill has this staff forever shook.  Maybe it’s bc Poyer is hurt and we have Marlowe back there he’s being cautious.  Idk. 
 

I didn’t like it either.  But it led to Miami punting.  
 

 

Much more confused by the 3 play calls for us that followed it.

McD cements himself as being the worst game manager in NFL playoffs. Twice he called timeouts negating successful plays by the offense and defense. Actually did same thing last week. Just listened to his press conference. Not one coward in WNY media dared to ask him about his terrible timeout calls

 

The second one was necessary. The D was nowhere near set. Don't judge it by outcome. That was on Skylar. If he reads that right he throws a touchdown.

I get it that the game was a nail biter. I was convinced, late in the 4th quarter, that they would lose.
 

But the Bills played far from their best game, turned the ball over three times, and still scored 34 points.

 

Those calling for Dorsey’s head are hysterical.

No.  
 

This is what the Dolphins do.  They just dialed it up more.  Teams just don’t change their stripes.  Plus they all know you just can’t count on turnovers and from here on out - we won’t be seeing Skylar Thompson.  

 

I disagree, this is playoffs, this is where good teams dial up packages you weren't expecting them to come at you with, especially defense. 

 

Dolphins just had success for a 3rd time blitzing Allen. The bills and Allen have struggled much more this season when josh has been excellent in years passed. Granted not every team we face will have the Dolphins mind set of nothing to lose and probably wont sell out on the blitz like the dolphins today, unless its the ravens who love to blitz. But teams will definitely dial up more blitz packages especially on 3rd down against the bills seeing how brown and saffold got eaten alive and josh hasn't been taking check downs when available, though they weren't as available due to keeping the RB in to protect.

 

Until josh continously connects on deep balls and burns a defense too many times (which can very well happen) the blue print of blitz and sacrifice the deep ball worked to almost beat the bills with an inferior team.

As I said in another thread, if we lose that game Mc Dermott deserves to be fired!! To lose a game where you are playing a third string rookie QB, is in unacceptable and deserves to be dealt with. Buffalo survives one more week but we will not go past next week. His coach today was disasterous!!

 

 Even I'm saying calm down. Just a terrible game all around.   However the Bills survived.

 

 The good news for me is I'll be watching very little ESPN or listening to the radio. Just an ugly ugly game

Pet Carrol just lost to a 3rd stringer. Fire him?

It's only a problem when the telly starts answering back.

 

That's not a problem.  If that happens then they have to take me away.

yeah right 🤣

 

You can bank on it.  It's their game plan and I'm going to live with it.

 

Go Bills.

Sure, lets fire the coach that has taken us to the playoffs in 5 of the last 6 years and has Won the AFC East 3X in a row.  Brilliant...

I had no problem with either of those time outs..defense was out of position and confused on both plays.  Bad luck was that Miami ran some bonehead plays anyway.

What would have been much more egregious would have been if McD had seen the confused defense and NOT called the time out, and Miami had a big play as a result
