[Bongo]

This team has taken another 10 years off my life. Good thing I was going to live to a million years old when I became a Bills fan.

 

GO BILLS!!!

Ugly win but a win is a win.

 

 But after the way they played today I don’t have any expectations that they will go much further. I’m not saying they can’t or won’t, just lowering my expectations.

Motor should be getting 12 to 15 carries a game, end of story.  If we are gashing and have a lead then mix in Cook for another 10 carries.  If we are in a real shoot out then let Josh take over.  Passing all the time with a lead is just bad game management.

Classic "survive and advance."

They need to do that three more times

Tip of the hat to the Fins. They came to play. Yes the Bills did their damndest to kill themselves with a terrible second quarter and start of third, but the Fins took every advantage. 
 

D played well overall, with few big plays (and helped by some drops). 
 

O needs to get their sh!t together, but this game goes to show that they can play badly for half the game and still score 34. Imagine if they played good for a whole game!
 

anyway, a win is a win. On to next week. Go Bills.

Injuries, a lot of reviews.  Miami took a crap ton of timeouts (I think all three second half TOs) when they were about to get flagged for Delay of Game.

For some reason, the refs really, really, really didn't want to call the Fins for delay of game.  They snapped the ball a full second after the clock showed zero NUMEROUS times.

One thing is for certain...if Dorsey thinks Madden ball is the answer against Cincy, we're going to get blownout in our own house.

*exhales*... the coaches had better skip the 24hr celebration and start working.

Props to the Fish.  They put up a helluva fight.  Glad we win of course, but we play like that next week we’re toast.

We're not playing a divisional opponent next week.  Before last week I wanted both NE & Miami out since a divisional opponent knows you better and can be your toughest playoff opponent regardless of record.  We fans got complacent after blowing out NE last year and forgot just how tough a team that knows you can make things.

I’m happy we won but this team and coaches should be embarrassed by letting a beat up Miami team with a 3rd string qb come up and almost beat us…. If our defense don’t get there ***** together asap we’re gonna get smoked next week

Eh I’ve seen some overmatched Bills team give the Brady led Pats some great games over the years…….hell I’ve seen some terrible Miami teams do the same!

I was wrong about this one. But as Mike Krzyzewski said, “survive and advance.”

 

Yep, stats are for losers and all that.  Winning is all that matters (now...during the game it was maddening lol)

[Georgia Bill]

Wasn't there two ill-timed time outs that cost us big time?  On one the (non) play would have made it 3rd and 9 due to the Edmunds stop and they would have likely then just went for the field goal, instead they got the touch down.  The other was on 4th down late, the (non) play ended up a deep incomplete pass, but instead they got the first down on the next play.

Bourbon shot to calm the nerves 

[jlgarsh]

Only half kidding: Can we hire a timeout consultant?

Josh r needs to be a lot bette than today. So does Ken Dorsey:

 

With that said Miami has a better front 7 than Cinncy or KC. 
 

Bills play mostly clean they’ll be in the 30s+ on O

It's funny you say that because they put up 34 today.

On my way out for sushi and a gigaliter of sake 

[JMM]

Well, win and advance. AND, we can't possibly play this bad next week...can we...😬

On a side note, I believe Dorseys ultra aggressiveness is simply KILLING US.

On the 4th down they actually did finally throw the flag, the flag didn't come out until there was a zero on the play clock for at least a couple seconds.
