Sammy Watkins' Rib

The goal isn't to be fine. As in the 2 or 3 seed or just win the division. The goal is to get the one seed. As of right now I would not say we are fine. That said, we certainly can beat any team any day. But we won't be cruising to a one seed unfortunately.

This team is in a bad spot right now. I'll probably double dip and bet against the Bills ML for the second consecutive week. Something I have never done before. Let my winnings today ride. Question is who will be the favorites in that one? Probably the Ravens I would imagine.

Bills have to get the 1 seed this year and luckily the Chiefs loss. That said, the Ravens and Dolphins are perfectly capable of competing for the one seed and they both won today. I probably rather go to KC than Miami again in the post season. Lose next week against the Ravens who are not push overs and we have a serious issue on our hands.

The game turned too somewhere around the second quarter. Allen was lights out after the first two TD drives. I didn't look up his passer rating at that time but it was probably over 140. But as the game wore on the incompletions started to rack up and the check downs started to increase. We didn't adjust / were not able to run the ball.

Just win one close game before I die!

It happens. It happened on Monday night for apparently no reason at all. Mahomes has done the same. But today I can't help but think he was gassed.

It goes far beyond that though. Yes, we could have won by two scores today if we executed properly. But that is the problem. We don't win unless it is by two plus scores. 0-and forever now in one score games. Something is wrong.

Rather not. This team has no feel of when they should pound it with the RB's and when they should let Allen try to make a play. And yes, the lack of runs from under center on short yardage plays is concerning.

Probably because they half assed it out there and were happy to just not get embarrassed and injured. Bills have become Miami's Super Bowl on the other hand.

He tried. He couldn't get there.

It's one thing to not blitz but entirely something else to only rush 3 on 3rd and 22.

Normally having only two doesn't kill you but i mean you could just feel early in the second half that this game was going to come down to the wire so I'm curious when we burned that first time out and was it really worth it?

We have zero running game. Maybe less than zero. We simply can not run when the defense knows we need to run in short yardage. That is a major problem. On top of that, for the most part we can't run between the 20's either. Josh Allen threw that ball into the dirt that could have won it probably in part because he is trying to run himself so much.

Would have been nice to have one extra time out. Not sure where we burned our first time out.

Dropping Groot and only rushing three on 3rd and 22 was definitely a head scratcher. Don't know if that is on Frazier or McDermott or both.

F this team. They won't win jack until they can get a running game outside of Josh Allen.

I don't know. If we are talking about the same play Groot was totally worthless on that play. He was schemed out of the play at the snap. That at a minimum is not a great start regardless of what everyone else does.

That was a disgusting play. Groot dropping back 5 yards to cover air.

This team is snake bitten in close games. No reason to think they will change their luck today. Everything the Bills do on offense is like pulling teeth to get it done. And then they are having trouble finishing scoring drives. Could easily be Bills up two scores right now which is there typical path to a win. Gonna have to break that one score game drought today.

Alright. No funny business backed up down here this time.

Can we burn the first half game thread? That was ugly. But 14-14 so that is good. And Miami will turn the ball over sooner rather than later.

Mistakes are killing this team. Allen has to have more awareness backed up inside out 10 on 3rd and long. That was costly. We are moving the ball but what the eyes see is a team that is having to really work for every completion. Nothing is easy. Lot's of pressure.

I also had issues but was able to get it when i switched to the Miami cbs station.

On the plus side this Bills team will not be going into this game over confident. The hype around the Dolphins last quarter of offense and the seriousness of the injuries on the Bills defense will have the entire Bills team feeling like they need to step up. And I do think that is a real factor in this game. Probably a blessing actually that the Dolphins passing game exploded in that last quarter. I do think if McDaniel is wise he will try to counter with more speed in the running game if the Bills try to play two deep in coverage the whole game.

It's typically always about the opposing fan base. During the drought years I was pretty much indifferent to Miami. But I DESPISED the Jets mostly due to their fans. But I agree the tides of hate within the division are changing. With regards to Dorsey, there is talk about the Bills possibly opening up the running game even more. That would be a nice wrinkle. Also, Knox has been very quiet in the passing game thus far. I continue to place 2+ and 3+ TD wagers for Knox. For what it is worth the last time I felt the desire to pay for a W was the MNF game last year against the Patriots. Sadly my bank roll increased.
