I mean that's the basics of what I knew. If so, I have to say that I like our scheme. Limiting explosive plays is what the Bills hang their hat on and with our CBs finally getting healthy and a statue pocket passer I like what I see Of course, individual talent can still break us and Josh is going to need to be Mr. Primetime but I like the setup

Sadly I don't know the Bengals as well as a lot of other teams we've faced. I know Burrow is a great pocket passer and has a phenomenal #1 WR. Does anyone know a breakdown of the schemes they run? Is the offensive line as bad as in recent years?

I agree. They definitely had some new coach sheen. And credit to him, McDaniel saw what he could get out of Tua and picked up two great offensive weapons to make him lethal. But they've come to rely on it so much that when the Bills were sticking with a Cover 2 shell and Mostert was pounding the ball on us that McDaniel can't help but get cute. Add in December weather and a formula on how to win appears It's an interesting thought. Concussions do build up over time (see Ray, Rob and LaFontaine, Pat) I am not rooting for Tua to have life altering medical trauma. But if he really got brained it is yet another indictment on the Dolphins staff.

Hey, anyone can make you nervous when you owe them money and they show up in the middle of the night with a crowbar. Or so I've been told.

I have not seen any breakdowns, were the Bears in heavy shell coverage and inviting the Bills to run? Because it seems like a normally terrible secondary did a good job limiting Josh with help from the wind while the running game hadn't looked that dominant any time in decent memory. I think Singletary was close to 10 yards a carry? I know the Bears Dline isn't good, but this seems purposeful

Effectively yes. I remember trying it at the Bidwell market before they got a space. It has the coffee notes of Guinness but with a fae lighter body. I rarely drink now but that it one I still crave

I'm quite partial to Community Beer Works "The Whale"

Hyde would be a game changer, if only because Hamlin is such a liability

Exactly. There is nothing that Fields is doing this year that Lamar couldn't do in 2020

I was just thinking of that! Lions are away this week so it's not out of the question

Look, it's not right. It's not somehow payback for the Phins trying to heatstroke people out. But my god was it beautiful.

Dude, I'm saying Tua isn't a complete bust like I thought. Of course Allen is better, but I don't think it's crazy to identify that Tua has a gear above what Mac Jones and Zach Wilson/Mike White/Joe Flacco are offering our other division rivals

I have to eat some crow on Tua. I thought he was a bust but he honestly balled out. At this point it's not a fluke. He can throw down field and is not just a distributor. I think he relies heavily on Waddle and Hill, but I could once say the same with Allen in regards to Diggs and Beasley. I think he's the second best QB in the division. I am not going to enjoy seeing him twice a year I'm still taking Josh Allen over him

Regarding the snowballs: I get why people don't like it. If it has cost a penalty I probably would be singing a different tune. But we hear all the time about how Raiders, Chiefs and Seahawks fans make life hell for visiting teams and get praise for it. When fans were throwing snow I thought a rout might be on

Haven't done one of these in a while, but I went to bed and have these thoughts still swirling: This is a win that the Bills need in their arsenal. No, I did not enjoy watching most of it. But this was a game where I think it's hard to dispute that the skill positions on the Dolphins looked more elite. The Bills did everything in their power to limit Hill, and Waddle and Mostert still looked electric. In the meanwhile, I lost a whole lot of prop bets because a lot of our usual suspects were limited. But at its core, the Bills got a better performance out of their second row of players. And the Bills gritted it out. It was ugly to watch but it has been the kind of game we might face it the playoffs. Miami fans are fricken delusional if they think that the refs have it out for them. I was screaming at the TV at the end of the second half that those Holding calls were PI, which would be a spot foul. Instead, it was five yards for a few second runoff. McKenzie catching that ball, putting a hand under it, sliding on two knees out of bounds and holding onto it it is...not a catch? I saw quite a few jersey tugs that went uncalled on those deep passes Allen was lofting. Non-calls on offensive holding for the Phins, while we got slaughtered with them. It should not have even been close on the field that Josh had broken the plane, and the review was incontrovertible. But no, a Dolphins defender hits a QB out of bounds and then gets into a shoving match and gets a personal foul. The Dolphins defender tackles McKenzie in the front without looking back as the ball arrives for a PI. If anything, the refs jobbed hard for Miami. I don't care what anyone says, I love Bills fans throwing snowballs. The snow was late to the party, so it's hard to see the sample size, but man, did Tua not look good in it. But when the snow came, suddenly energy was back into the building and the tide swung. I want home field advantage. Badly.

I can't even imagine how they had to go to video review

The Fins fans are making it sound like the refs were on them all night. They have to be delusional. The refs kept refusing to call PI at the end of the second half. The Bills had far more penalty yards and that is with quite a lot of chippt shots I saw Dolphins defenders deliver. Their quibble is about shoving a QB while he was out of bounds and then getting into a shoving match, and the most obvious hold possible

Considering how hard the refs jobbed us, a fluke fumble, the running into the kicker, a bad miscommunication on the Waddle deep pass, the McKenzie catch that wasn't... I don't care how we did it, we did it

Hey, another one score game we won!

It's a catch, and the refs are jobbing us...so of course we are going to lose the challenge

I'm shocked they didn't go for it

Any word on what the stadium looks like?

Yeaaahh they have no idea

Probably not if they are sending Schrager The are probably saving Brandt for the playoffs
