LABILLBACKER Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 If Knox gets that DPI, that probably results in TD1. If Gabe doesn't trip over his feet that's probably TD2. If Cook actually had hands that's TD3. And a wide open Diggs on an easy 89 yd TD4 is lost on the over throw. I'm ecstatic about the division championship but there's still stuff to clean up. 7 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Yup, this game was basically the same as 48-20 earlier, we just made boneheaded plays to kill ourselves. Similar to last year in Miami in the heat game. We dominated the game statistically but made dumb plays to prevent scoring. Offense humming going into the playoffs is always good 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Despite all the gaffs when we repeatedly shot ourselves in the foot, the play that pissed me off the most was not getting that last first down on 4th down with a half yard to go. We would have salted the game then and there and nobody would have sweated the final moments. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Now all that really counts for is Allen’s final 2023 stats. Who cares now, Diggs showed his isn’t hurt and can still get wide open. And like the others have pointed out, the Bills moved the ball easily all night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEBills Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Fangio is one of the greats of this generation, Dolphins were 7-1 at home and should have been 8-0 (Tenn last minute comeback was the only blemish). We should have crushed them it’s true, but this may be the toughest game we play until at least the AFCCG if we get that far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef played great and deserved a 150+ yard game with a td. He still made enough plays. He absolutely broke Ramsey's ankle on that deep miss by JA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Just wanted to point out a surprisingly key play that many people probably overlook: Dane Jackson's PI against Tyreek Hill. That was a legitimate penalty, no argument about that, but the point is that Jackson kept Hill from breaking clear into the middle in full stride after catching an accurate pass from Tua that got exactly where Hill would have been. Without that PI, Hill scores, and the game plays out differently. We don't talk much in football about taking a good penalty, like we do in hockey, but this is an instance where a foul by Jackson really saved the day. 2 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelius Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Diggs owns Ramsey at this point and should have been rewarded with an eye popping stat line to cap the year and quiet all doubters. It was still good to see that he seemingly isn’t banged up. Hopefully he and Josh connect on that long ball soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single defensive coordinator has an edge defender who is not looking at the running back at all but strictly Josh Allen An edge defender or slot corner coming off the edge who's only job is to hit Josh Allen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Have you seen the movie Seabiscuit where there's a big match between Seabiscuit and a huge powerful race horse? (War Admiral was his name, I think.) Spoiler alert: Seabiscuit wins. The way the little team behind Seabiscuit set it up, Seabiscuit would take the early lead and then let the other horse catch up and pass him, but then Seabiscuit would catch back up and pass the big horse, ripping his heart out and destroying his will. That's what the Bills do to the Dolphins. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Digg? Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 2 hours ago, Aussie Joe said: Davis trips over his own feet .. but does it still get intercepted otherwise ? It definitely does-that was a poor play right from the beginning. Poor play design (pretty much just hoping Josh makes a Superman play) but Josh’s throw pretty much had no chance of being caught. That’s picked even if Davis doesn’t fall down. I will agree with everything else the OP said, but this play wasn’t a good one 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Josh and Diggs said to each other post-game... 4 more! Agree. Football can be ugly. To the complainers today I'll ask a simple question. Would you rather lose, but look pretty doing it or win and win ugly? That's all football comes down to. Did you win or lose. And the Bills have won ugly all the way to the #2 seed. I'll take that over looking good, setting records, being the toast of the NFL and ending up a 6 seed ANY day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times did we think we had the Patriots down, only for Brady to steal it at the end? That's who we are now What I'm seeing is a Bills team that can not only come back, but then hold the opponent off in the 4th quarter.

stevewin Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 The one he tripped on, when they showed the replay it seemed like that db was going to get it even if Gabe didn't trip. The morning shows are going to eat that up as a reckless josh int - but it was 4th down so he just chucked it up after the play broke down. On the Diggs overthrow I feel like the shoulder injury is affecting Josh's long throws - he doesn't seem to be getting as much loft on them, that one came out really flat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
