that is now knowing the result. i know analytics says take the xp, i was just being a doomer. i still can't believe bass drilled it

the good news is that it might have been. Phins are 2-6 with games against the Rams, Packers, Texans and Niners, plus a desperate Jets twice. With the tiebreaker secure the Bills need a combination of 4 wins or Phins losses to eliminate their chances at the division.

Honestly I thought they would. Nothing the Bills D was doing at that moment seemed to even slow them. It would have been so Billsy to lose on a closing kick

I'm slightly younger, I just got it on home VHS when I was 5 or under. I brought it to woman who watched us before I could go to school because I really liked it and thought it would be fun. Man, in the 80s and 90s PG actually meant something

Yeah, now that it's over and I'm through it, I have to give it to the Dolphins. They knew that a loss would effectively shut out their chances for he division and they brought it while the Bills obviously didn't (in a reverse of last game). Tua was humming and Achane is going to haunt us for years. But they're going to have an uphill climb to even sniff a wild card at the moment.

I wasn't nervous at all Me the entire 4th quarter:

I have to give it to Bass. A 61 yard clutch FG? What the hell, where has that been man?

Oof those injuries do not help. I still think the Bills take it but I would have preferred a blowout

Time change and a newborn have messed me up. Go Bills!

Especially with the safety situation I keep asking myself "what's going to stop our run game from having a repeat of last time?" If anything the gap seems wider: the Bills have seen the emergence of Ray Davis as a second punch, the O line has more continuity and we've seen Coleman able to check into a designed run if they slack on coverage.

I will never again say that the Bills have anything in the bag, but the Bills have numerous advantages: they're getting healthy while the Phins are backed up, the system matchup still favors Buffalo, Davis and Keon have broken out and Cooper should be getting into a groove.

Just as a note this is Nico's last year on a rookie deal. The dude is going to get paid

That's the one downside

Oh look it's starting!

I feel dirty rooting for the Jets but I am comforted by the knowledge that they will self immolate in their own time

I thought that was the Ayahuasca

Wow how did he do that when he's so slow! 🤣 Jokes aside, while he's no sprinter I'd say his issue is that he's fast not quick. He doesn't have the burst off the line that the Xaviers have naturally. But when he's full speed, or had found a soft spot in the zone he's smooth enough that he's been able to turn upfield. Watch that TD vs the Texans, not only did he outrace his way in he out muscled it

Yeah if anything that should make us take this with a grain of salt

Coleman was already at 0. It was nice of you to spot him that lead 😁 But seriously I had concerns on draft night that at this point seem to be lain to rest. If the ceiling is high level #2WR that's still a major asset. Let's see if he can stand as a #1

Yep. Not only did he force his way out, he agreed to have the last two years of his contract shaved off. I don't need to celebrate his injury to think that the Bills dodged a bullet by getting what they could for him before an injury like this happened on their watch

McDaniel has shown some ingenuity in how he does it, but 90% of pass concepts are "Waddle Go Route to stretch the field, Hill motion out of the backfield or crossing route, Tua throws in under 3 seconds" If one of those things ain't happening it's been a trainwreak

There's nothing I've seen or heard from the Dolphins in the intervening 6 weeks that's told me that the Bills need to radically change their game plan from Week Two. Let the Dolphins invest in stopping the run, then start hitting them on screens and play action. Keep long sustained drives, force Hill and Waddle to work for it, do what you can to limit to damage on runs

It's hard for me to think about a rematch here. I know the Dolphins are a bit different but the structural similarities are still about the same so in my mind I have to give an edge to the Bills at home with a healthy TJ plus Cooper

I mean we could even argue that with the way the market has been skyrocketing that getting in a year early helps long term

"We didn't know for 9 months then we figured out in was an ACL tear. Wild huh? We thought he might be pregnant. Man our doctors suck" That's what happened with Von in 2022
