Stopping the Miami Offense (and Tua the wizard) - Lets hear the ideas.

[Lost]

I'm in the rush 3 camp and put an extra safety spy in the middle of the field.   Almost all of miami's passing attack is timing routes over the middle.   If we can jump one or two of them that can change the game.   Forcing tua to take the sideline throws will diminish his game a lot.

Jeremy and Joe on WGR in full panic mode about Miami. Got that to look forward to all week I guess 🫠.

not if you don't listen.

if we keep doing what we are doing on O, controlling the line of scrimmage and running a strong balanced offense, then miami will be forced to go for bigger plays.

 

if we disguise coverage and absolutely body tua, he will make mistakes.  milano and the new force on our D TITAN TERREL BERNARD just need to get some free hits on tua and he will crumble.

 

one thing that really sucked vs dc was the penalties.  we killed at lest 2 drives where i thought we'd get a TD, and we extended drives for them too with really badly timed penalties.  a slight improvement there and we woulda had a 50 burger.

Miami put up 70 on a ***** team. Still, that is impressive.

 

They put up 24 against the hoodie and 30 something against a garbage Chargers defense.

 

The Bills defense has looked rather impressive against 3 not so good offenses.

 

To me, this looks a lot like it was last year between these teams with the exception of the Bills defense is very healthy and Tua seems to be as well.
 

Bills win 37-26.

Montage of Achane....found this on the Dolphins board....they have speed everywhere.   The effort from the Broncos D was noticeably terrible.  Got to fly to the carrier, wrap up etc.

 

 

[Milanos Milano]

Let McD cook. He’s already showing to generate a nasty D compared to boring Frazier. Can’t wait until Von comes back, D will be even better. 

[mabden]

If Tua is getting rid of the ball so quickly, (1st in the league) then it means he is throwing to his 1st option and his eyes should tell you where he is throwing.

 

Taking away that 1st option, forces him to scan for other options, equals more time for the DL to get pressures.

 

Also having the DL raise arms to tip/bat down passes should be more effective, easier to achieve than sacks.

I haven’t listened since Howard Simon left.  

[HOUSE]

The Dolphins barely beat the Chargers and Patriots 

Then they pounded on the worst team in football ..

 

Lol, you guys are funny

[Drew21PA]

Didn’t this happen last year too?

 

then we played them with back up safeties in a 1000 degrees and our offense put up 500 yards offense in Miami?

 

lots of similarities on this time?

 

we have our starting safeties - though some dingbats on this board thinks our backfield has slowed down - lo and behind we are indeed better with the proof starting to show (turnovers generated - yards nonexistent for opponents)

 

I love buffalo isn’t getting the attention but dang we look BETTER than last year in my opinion 

 

side note that stupid punk mcdaniels is now my most hated coach in the nfl - he is such a weasel.  Hate his cockiness and his idiotic takes on Tua last year “oh we didn’t know” to now “oh I think the nfl respects what we did “

 

you ran up the score on a team in the nfl - you’re an idiot and I hope the rest of the nfl hates that team and just wants to blast them now

[SF Bills Fan]

Keeping their offense on the sidelines with long sustained time consuming drives will be a big help.

First things first. Aggressively stop the run. They moved the ball at times VERY well against us last year and their run game looks to have improved. Stop that and make them one dimensional.

 

Second, mix in some 3 safety looks, but don't sit in that exclusively. Pressure will have problems getting home...so coach up all week for the DL to get their hands up. Bat some balls down. 

 

Bump WRs off the line. 

/thread. 

 

They have not played a physical team yet. If you get in to a track meet, you lose. 

Abuse their OL, stop the run, get to Tua, keep everything in front of you. 

[warrior9]

I think the key to the game outside of the obvious of getting pressure is...

 

Bernard and Milano in coverage over the shallow crosses and stopping YAC. 

[DallasBillsFan1]

How to stop Miami?  Time of possession for Bills will be key.  Control the clock and pound the ball ... keep Miami O off the field.  Hurry up offense, wear out the Miami D.

[Your Brown Eye]

Throwing the book at Tua all day long is the only hope, rattle his ass from the first to the last snap

These are conflicting statements lol 

[DrDawkinstein]

Do what we normally do.

 

Yesterday is not the norm for Miami. That was MOSTLY on the fact that the Broncos simply stopped tackling.

 

350 yards ON THE GROUND?!? Disgusting and pathetic, Denver.

 

Same Dolphins:

 

Dolphins 36

Chargers 34

 

Dolphins 24

Patriots 17

 

 

Just do our thing.

This is the real story line from that game yesterday.

 

It's far more a failing of the Broncos than it is any type of dominance by Miami.

 

Any offense will put up 70 when the Defense stops trying to tackle.

[bobobonators]

I havent watched a single Dolphins game this year, but it seems like all of Tua’s passes are over the middle of the field. Seems like a no-brainer to put as many bodies in zone coverage over the middle of the field. Hope you can create pressure with 3-4 rushers only.

Still think the pats win that game if they weren’t missing a lot of their offensive line.

I'm not in panic mode, but the Bills offense is Allen & Diggs (with Cook sprinkled in) while Miami has all of their offensive depth not only getting touches, but major contributions. 

 

The Bills offense can be fantastic and they're well coached, but I think it's not unreasonable to call it much more one dimensional. 

[Irv]

We can stop the Fins offense with Haiku.  Lot's of it.  

[Captain Hindsight]

I'm impressed by Miami. They are playing much better than I expected. That said, if the Pats* can hold them to 24 missing their top 3 corners, I'm confident McDermott can too. 

[BillsFan692]

Josh Allen about to go donkey kong on Miami's nuts.

[Slippery Rubber Mats]

Despite putting 70 up this week, Miami only has a +3 point differential advantage over the Bills so far this season. 

 

Miami is #1 (+59), Buffalo is #2 (+56) in the league. No one else has greater than +50.

 

Certainly will be an interesting matchup

[Donuts and Doritos]

Take away Tuas 1st read quick pass. Jam the receivers at the line. Bring pressure. Stop the run. Establish Cook early. Play action pass. Long sustained offensive drives.

No question this will be a tough game. Biggest challenge of the season thus far. But the local media acting like we can’t hang with or beat the fins is absurd. I’d imagine the national media will be beating the same drum all week too.

Truth. 

 

The game is going to be a coinflip assuming we don't get Shellshocked Allen, and it'll probably come down to some turnover or goofy special teams shenanigans.

Disrupt Tua's first read. Disguise coverages and make him think he has someone open that isn't really open.

Obviously putting up 70 is insane but a few things:

 

- Their first two games came down to the last play. NE was 1 foot away from converting that first down and having a real shot at winning. NE really slowed them down in the second half. They can be slowed down.

 

- Last season their offense was on fire (as was ours) in the beginning but things change, defenses adjust. Our defense is playing as good as any right now and I like our offense against their defense more then Their O against our D.

 

This is going to be a tough game for both teams

[MAJBobby]

His chart is ALWAYS the same. 
 

Bernard and Milano will be VERY KEY this week. 
 

allow them to pull those lanes and you control this offense. 
 

only works if you can get pressure with the front 4. 
 

middle pressure is KEY. 
 

so my concept

 

Groot and Oliver pressuring from Interior 

Floyd and Epenesa on outside 

 

Milano and Bernard in zones in those middle passing lanes

 

Hill bracketed

 

can even run some of that Cloud 3 umbrella that NE ran 

 

this COULD be a week Elam is activated over another Lber. 

 

Evidence to me that ELAM will be active Sunday.

Unleash Kaiir. His skills match what Miami does. Stats above prove it. 

[MAJBobby]

Also yes Bills DL is as good as people think. 
 

lowest Blitz % with Highest Sack %

Wow they sure do exploit the middle of the field...just wondering if we make Tua throw down the sidelines is he less accurate or has he been good there as well?

He doesn’t throw there. There offense isn’t built that way. Majority first reads are WRs crossing after a motion head start.
 

And refuses to throw left. Take the middle and he becomes the indecisive turnover Tua
