EmotionallyUnstable Posted September 17 Posted September 17 Well I’m 99% sure that the Bills take this one. That said, I am sure they aren’t taking a division opponent lightly. It is no doubt the Dolphins have holes on their roster (OL, DB, LB), and some of their top end players (Fitzpatrick, Chubb, Hill) may be past their prime. That said, I do believe they’re better than people are giving them credit for. I do not think they stand a chance vs these Bills but they will have their moments. Achane is a good back, and they can get after the QB a little bit. I am fully expecting a dominant victory, but it won’t be a complete knockout. I think you’ll see the dolphins land some punches, but we’ll eat them and be no worse off. Our team is too experienced, well prepared and much more fundamentally sound than I believe the dolphins to be. 10 hours ago, YattaOkasan said: paired with Sanders?

The Bills could beat themselves, but that hasn't been their mo this season. The Bills will win but short week, divisional opponent, and desperate opponent could make it a 7-10 point win rather than a blowout. It's also possible Miami is just done and doesn't show up. In that case they implode and everyone gets fired I think. But I don't see that happening quite yet although it would be glorious to watch. 2 1 Quote

But felt like more. I saw him out there with Jones (at least once, but probably more...not sure where to check snaps by alignment). Deone Walker is ideally a 3T on early downs and a 1T on passing downs, in general. He's no double-team buster against the run at this point of his career. 2 Quote

It's also possible Miami is just done and doesn't show up. In that case they implode and everyone gets fired I think. But I don't see that happening quite yet although it would be glorious to watch. The bolded is really intriguing to me at this point, and primarily because McDaniel's players (especially defensively) do NOT respect him. And while each player knows they are being evaluated by every team on every snap, they also don't always rise to the occasion if the coach on the hot seat is a doofus. Of course it's possible that Miami comes out swinging for the fences and lands a few, but if the Bills can score points early and often, then I'm pretty sure Dolphins players won't be extra motivated to save their coach's job in a losing effort. Plus the OLB coach got arrested Friday night for DB, so that could feed into the anarchy and lack of professional culture. Could be dudes on that team who resent being associated with space cadets and dirt bags, and want to see real change NOW. Quote

At least so far this year, that’s not how they’ve been using him. Its possible he took some 3T snaps but from my all22 rewatch I saw him pretty consistently at the nose. I do not know where or how you’d quickly access a specified snap count for that. The attached photo is the first snap from scrimmage. This is the alignment that I saw consistent IMHO 3 Quote
BigAl2526 Posted September 17 Posted September 17 I think that Buffalo has a pretty good handle on defending against Miami's occasionally explosive passing offense. I can't imagine Miami even slowing down Buffalo's offense. My guess is the Bills will beat the spread and the only thing that will hold the margin of victory down will be Buffalo playing backups in the fourth quarter. My only regret is that Buffalo has to play New Orleans after they beat Miami. It seems like a complete waste of a mini-bye when you have to play the worst team in the league after it. 1 Quote

Got any thoughts? Wonder if film reviewers have caught this (haven’t watched cover 1 analysis yet). 1 Quote

This is the alignment that I saw consistent IMHO Fascinating to see Jones shading the guard and Walker shading the center here; how did the Jets then block this up? Did they double Jones, or Walker? Or neither? Did the defensive front shift into this alignment, possibly, based on offensive shift(s) and leverage to the sideline? You can see the Jets heavily aligned to the boundary side. I have no desire to be right, btw. Just really interested in the evolving DL personnel, usage, and alignments and techniques and whatnot. Nielsen is here specifically to get more out of this unit. Loved that hire. Hope it works out as the season progresses. 1 Quote
Avisan Posted September 17 Posted September 17 (edited) 6 hours ago, gonzo1105 said: The Dolphins have had their most success against the Bills when they run TE seams, and in breaking routes between the LBs and Safeties that allows them to run after the catch. McDaniel has and is also very big into the screen game with his RBs. Very rarely have the Bills been beaten over the top by them. The playoff game where Tua had his most success was when McDaniel stuck to the run game, had success and used PA off of it. The Dolphins played that game about as perfect as they could that day and still lost This game broke the Dolphins, I think. They gave it their best shot, with their best execution and game plan, and still couldn't get it done. No coming back from that. Edit: Misread, I didn't see the "playoff game" portion of your post. I'm referring to the game where Bass hit the 61 yarder to seal it. That was the finishing blow. Couldn't seriously entertain the possibility of ever knocking us off the top spot with the current regime after that. Edited September 17 by Avisan Quote

H2o Posted September 17 Posted September 17 https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/tua-tagovailoa-i-cant-do-half-of-what-josh-allen-does Quote Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and Bills quarterback Josh Allen were both Top 10 draft picks, recognized as talents who could become the leaders of their franchises. But Tagovailoa acknowledges that Allen has a different level of talent. “He’s top tier,” Tagovailoa said of Allen. “If it’s not with his arm, it’s with his legs. That dude can do literally anything he wants. So, definitely different skill set for me. I can’t do half of what he does when it comes to running the ball and any of that, and then with how he can just chuck a ball down the field with how far and the arm strength that he has. He’s supreme when it comes to that. So it’s going to be fun to get to see him, get to play him again.” At least Tua is a realist. 1 Quote
