Also I'm not sure if you've noticed hardly anyone travels anymore Sure. I don’t know if jalen is gonna travel. People are expecting it cause he did with Wilson when Howard was out against NYJ. That plus diggs roasting them in the first matchup is why the thoughts. I do think they played diggs wrong in the first game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichRiderBills Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I just like the energy here. Seems Dolphins and fans are dreading this game more than excited about it. Bills seem truly hungry and mean. I've honestly never felt this kind of aura around the team. I honestly think the Bills are going to win decisively. Not saying it will be a blowout. Nor is it just a "vibe". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does get banged up a lot in games though. Even if he does there is a good chance he isn't effective and can't come out of his breaks cleanly. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Water Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 5 minutes ago, WhitewalkerInPhilly said: I think that if Ken Dorsey had Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle the last two years he wouldn't have been fired and if McDaniel had Diggs and Gabe Davis the Dolphins would be limping to get a playoff spot. It's like how Bill Belicheck got called a genius...and he was. I don't think Tom Brady wins as many Super Bowls together without that pairing. And it's not that Belicheck was bad the first few years without Brady, but ho boy was it evident that things weren't right. I think McDaniel lucked into a not terrible offense mismanaged by Brian Flores (do you remember the Ryan Fitzpatrick/Tua rotation?), and then got an MVP candidate WR. I'd argue Kyle Shanahan is a genius equaling and exceeding McDaniel's success with Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance and now Mr. Irrelevent Brock Purdy rather than the guy who once raised the cry "tank for Tua!" That first is actually a very interesting question. Hill has always been a ridiculous Y/R guy - 14 last year, 15 this year. But a lot of that has always been YAC. Average over his career is 1/3 of his yards are YAC, but this season it's flirting with 40%. He's thriving in a passing game that runs on quick decisions where to go with the ball, leaving him a lot of room for YAC. So part of his success (and Waddle's, for that matter, that guy rocks 40% YAC last 2 years as well, 42% this season) is the QB's willingness to pull the trigger quickly on relatively short passes - "on time and on target". One of the principal reasons the Bills offense is severely lacking in YAC is that whether by design or by inclination or both, Josh will look and look for the deep shot or the pass beyond the sticks. By the time he takes the checkdown, if he does, the defense has closed in. Now = Josh learned to pull the trigger to Beasley, so maybe he could learn to get as much out of those guys, but...I don't think it's by any means a sure bet. If McDaniel had Diggs and Gabe Davis only, for sure he'd be limping, but is it beyond the realm of possibility he might have been able to use Cook, Harty, Kincaid, and Knox in a more effective way? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newcam2012 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 1 hour ago, Starr Almighty said: He's actually begging the DC to let him travel. We shall see. It does make sense. I'd expect Gabe to roast Apple if that's the case One of my concerns is the Bills oline vs their pass rush. Lately, the Bills pass protection has been a little less effective. A Fangio D will likely not give up huge plays. I think Allen has to have good vision, be decisive, accurate, and beat the Dolphins with short quick passes. The WRs have to get some separation and catch the ball. Bills have to get TDs in the red zone. I believe the Bills are near the top in this category while the Dolphins D is near the back. Obviously, the Bills dline has to disrupt Tua's timing. Need big games from the pass rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 On 1/4/2024 at 2:34 PM, WhitewalkerInPhilly said: I know I was joking a bit ago, but I am really annoyed by the Dolphins this year...or rather, I am annoyed at the amount of praise laid at their feet. I think that while they are good, a lot of McDaniel's genius can be attributed to having an All Pro WR in Hill and a #2 in waddle that could be a starter on a lot of other teams. As a total smooth brained NFL outsider, I get the sense that McDaniel is a good coach and a good x and o’s guy. Whether he sticks around as HC forever, I don’t know. But I think it’s a little unfair to put all their success on their WR. They’re fairly well coached too. I think Tua is a tier 2 QB. Good but not great. Whatever tier Kirk Cousins is in. I think once they pay him and they can’t afford the weapons around him they’ll start to struggle a bit more. They gave us fits with Skylar last year. I think McDaniel could have some Shanahan lite in him. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 On 1/4/2024 at 7:39 PM, The Wiz said: I'm still hilariously dumbfounded by everything I have seen in the media and on twitter. "Jalen Ramsey needs to shadow Diggs" For some reason people don't realize how Diggs has played against Ramsey. Curious if there’s some gamesmanship here. We know Allen/Diggs like to attack challenges like this. I think it’s possible Miami says “Ramsey is watering at the mouth to take Diggs out of the game” to get this offense to go after their best defender early and often, taking some pressure off of Apple.
