Do what NE did.  The Bills have a better D and a much better O then NE.

 

 

You have a vastly superior O but your D is maybe as good when Avon is healthy but right now it’s a bit lower.. .but your O more than makes up for it and then some..

And have Josh and offense milk the cocktail as much as plausible.  Heck even if Diggs l or Davis is wide lower take the short 10 yd 1st down that's a gimme as well.  Once we have a comfortable lead you play keep away as much as you can as the very best defense against a potent offense.  Bills fans of the 90s know this fact.  Giants were the inferior offensive team and they just left kelly and co. No time to do their thing.  

 

Oh and bench Josh at somewhere like the 15 min mark if 4th quarter.  Gives him the chance to watch and study how teams are playing us so his lack of film study isn't as big a detriment going forward.  Benching him the past 2 games seems to have secured the wins.

October snow storm.

 

Mr. Pegula will need to pay for snow machines from skiing resorts to be moved to Orchard Park.
 

The earliest first snowflake in a winter season ever recorded in Buffalo was on Sept. 20 back in 1956.

The earliest first measurable snow (of 0.1") was on Oct. 6, 1991.

The earliest ever first inch of snow was on Oct. 10 in 1906

That’s what NE did they didn’t send many and played deep and made them earn it by driving down the field.. the Dolphins scored 17 in the first half but the second half they were not patient and allowed the Pats to almost come back and beat them. Final was 24-20… I think the Bills can score more than 20 points in Miami D. 

They also played 3 safeties quite a bit. Rapp could be big.

[Roundybout]

Jam Tyreek and Waddle and keep them from wandering in space at the second level. The Dolphins pass game is almost entirely timing-based. Disrupt that and make it harder on Tua.

That was also a necessity since we were down 3 CB by the 3rd Quarter. So I don’t know how much that was designed as was “ok we don’t have enough corners let’s put another safety out there”

We need to be able to stop the run with a light box. If we can't do that it's going to be a long day.

What is scary is, Waddle didn’t play today.

[billsbackto81]

Don't let Hill get behind you.

 

Knock receivers off the line and disrupt timing.

 

Take advantage of their suspect D. Score early and often. Make them one dimensional. 

 

Get hands on Tua. Knock him down and make him nervous. 

 

That's game!

Well I think controlling the time idmf possession is a big deal defensively.  Tua can't do anything sitting on the bench can he? I'm not one to want to knock a mother player out of a game like some fans and heck some coaches.  Bountygate. Gregg Williams...

[BILLieve85]

Make the stadium so Miami is in the sun.

They usually play the Dolphins well, don't need to change much

People say Miami played bad teams, so have the Bills. This is not going to be as easy as that. I'd hope that anything we can come up with, D coordinators have already thought of and failed to impose on Miami. It's going to be a crazy ride this week. 

 

Maybe the Fins should worry about the Bills who have a potent offense and a good defense.   They barely beat the defensively inept Chargers by 2 points and the offensively challenged Patriots by 3.   The Broncos just quit even before the end of the first quarter.

Giants also cheating with players hitting WRs post possession and lying on top of players to slow down offense.\

Basically they were Cheaters-Light.

 

[AlfaBill]

Jam the WRS alot. Tackle decisively. Get hands up at the line. Tuna throws short to medium passes should be able to tip some. 
 

our O has to play better. Without Josh going off script, the O seems bad. They need to get good yardage on 1st down. 
 

Get tds not FGS.

Well, they've played two mediocre teams (Chargers and Patriots) and one poor team (Broncos).

 

They've been impressive offensively, but let's not crown them the champs yet. They literally did this last year and couldn't sustain it.

the Bills have played 3 very bad teams as well and the Bills somehow lost to the Jets team who had the wind taken out of their sails and quit when Rogers went out.soo……

The Broncos weren't a poor team.  They were horrendous.  They quit before half time.

 

Broncos appear to be tanking while trying to not be penalized for doing so but so are other teams.

strong safety blitzing 

[DapperCam]

I watched the snow game highlights from last year just now and Hamlin was slow to react, or behind the play in all of Miami’s big plays (Waddle big TD, Hill big TD, Mostert big run). Hopefully having our starting safeties healthy back there, if not long in the tooth, will help a lot.

[Pine Barrens Mafia]

James cook left, James cook right, James cook up the middle. Repeat 

[Ya Digg?]

I think the big thing is you have to throw off Tua’s timing. He has shown in the past that when he’s not able to throw on time he can struggle. It’s definitely going to be a hard game to win, the def line will need to have another big game. Knock Tua down, make him uncomfortable, move him off his spot

[nedboy7]

You get some dudes to take out Tyreek  during the week at the club.

I am not trolling I'm serious that I rather Josh decides to let all his weapons get various 5 yds avg per play that eat up game clock that cannot be used against our defense making them well rested and eager to make plays.  I'll be curious if they do activate Elsm, someone suggested maybe they  are deliberately keeping him hidden to surprise vs Miami.  

Edited September 25, 2023 by AuntieEm

I think the DBs need to line up fairly close to the LOS and disrupt the route running of Miami receivers early.  Combining that with generating pressure mostly by rushing four and you'll go a long way toward controlling the passing offense.  I think Buffalo plays a lot of nickel as usual.  I  don't think that will hurt them in run defense.

If Dorsey keeps running the ball on 2nd & 10 and 2nd & 11 like he loves so much, we're gonna be I'm trouble

[Ray Finkel]

Take away the middle and force Tua to throw outside.  Be physical with Hill at the LOS and have help over the top.

[JaCrispy]

Ball control 

[RobbRiddick]

I would activate Elam, tell him to rough up Hill at the line. I'd also play that lunatic Rapp a lot and tell him to get as many personal foul penalties as he can! 

 

I'm kidding about the penalties but I would tell them to play for old school, kind of how the Chiefs played the Bills in the championship game where they bullied us and roughed up our receivers.

 

Obviously ball control, try and get in Tua's face as much as possible. Knock him down, even if you don't get the sack. Wilkins always plays Allen that way so I say do the same to Tua (maybe not go as far as pinching his balls but close).

 

The problem is if they come out hot and just start marching up the field then Josh will feel the need to be superman , maybe he's good superman but there's always a chance he's Superman 4: The Quest for Peace and none of us want that

[Mango]

Part of “getting hot” is winning games with extended drives and ended all/as many as possible with points. If the pass rush continues to get home and Allen stays on the field with minimal turnovers and 3 points every time they touch the ball, that should be enough pressure to throw them off balance.

I don’t know man. 
 

Im more worried about him catching the ball in front of me and running wild. That reality and Tua’s deep ball inconsistency makes me wonder if baiting them deep would be beneficial 

 

(I know this sounds ridiculous, but I’m serious)

[foreboding]

Shell Coverage and will need the LBs to play a very good game. I like our chances, but I am worried our secondary lack the speed to stop any sort of angle compromise toward the ball carrier.

Or he goes off running and not sliding before getting hammered risking some injury.  I'm all for benching Josh every 4rth wuarterclikecthevpastc2xgames but when the game is out of reach for the opponents.
