    McDermott and the guys can definitely draw lessons from that Dallas game plus they are still seething over the Cincinnati home playoff debacle (also in the snow).  They will be ready.

     

    The Bengals game is like what happened to Dallas yesterday.  The intensity and execution was regular season, They thought they would just show up and win because it was a home game.  It was nowhere near the level and preparation needed for a playoff game.

    I don't agree because the Bengals were an experienced team that made it to the Super Bowl the year before.  The Bengals were killing us at home before game got cancelled because of what happened to Demar.  The Steelers are more in line like the Packers,  a fringe playoff team that just made it in,  the Bengals with a healthy Burrow were a legit contender.

     

    This team cannot afford a slow start and allow the Steelers to feel like they can win,  we need to put them away early.

  2. I just hope the Bills were watching the Cowboys getting destroyed at home,  they need to be ready and not just show up and expect to win.  We saw this season the team lose to Broncos at home and last year made 3rd string QB Skyler Thompson from the Dolphins look good in their opening round playoff game.  

     

    Need to be ready and not look ahead to KC game

  3. I think unless Dabol hires him as DC he will just retire because no team wants him. The defence even with major injuries improved with McDermott taking over,  which points to Frazier as the problem. The defence was not dominating but way more sacks and big plays then in previous years

    Please forgive my ignorance but I’m seeing interviews for Fraizer. If he gets one of these jobs will the Bills get the comp picks associated with it? I don’t know how it works with his leave of absence. Anyone know what this will look like if he gets a job?

    Frazier may get job interviews until his 70's because of Rooney rule but is never getting a job

    I'm curious if this shows Miller was relying on his athletic ability and not enough on his technical skill set...or maybe everything was based on his ability to get bend and he never developed a more nuanced technical fundamental set of rush moves.

     

    It's really the only thing that makes sense...obviously they had to have seen Miller wasn't able to do the same from an athletic perspective, like elite hall of fame level athleticism, but they had to have figured he was going to be able to rely on the technical part of his game to still be impactful, but why hasn't he?

     

    Like Beane and McD aren't morons, as much as people might have issues with them, they are pro level talent evaluators maybe one or two people on this board are even close to the same range in terms of player evaluation... there has to be a reason they keep playing him...what is that reason and it's not that because they're morons, just please for the sake of respect for me typing this all out on a phone, please brainstorm a reason that isnt that to help further the discussion (though I fully support trolling me with "because they're morons moron" lol)

    I think he all about bending and he cannot bend

    Didn't want to say anything until the game was in the bag, but I had a thought.  Let's say Miami tied it and it went into OT.  Time's running out, Miami has the ball and is in a position for a game-winning field goal.  Now...if they kick it, they get the division and the #2 seed, but have to play Buffalo in the Wild Card game.  What if Miami instead takes a knee?  They still win the division and the #2 seed...but they also get to avoid the Bills and instead host the Steelers.  If Buffalo wins their Wild Card game, and the 'Phins beat the Steelers, then Buffalo goes to Baltimore.  In other words, by going for a tie, Miami would lose nothing at all.  They would simply swap in the Steelers and put themselves in the position of not having to face the Bills until the Championship Game.

     

    So, with all that in mind, do you think Miami would have taken the tie in OT instead of the win if possible?

    If this game went to OT then Dolphins would try to win it,  not many teams are tying to tie games

    I actually think the opposite. I think if Miami scored to make it 21-20 they were going to go for two, the win, and the Title 

    Knowing McDaniels yes I would agree

  7. Everyone was taking about Cook's end zone drop for a TD ,  I thought a play that whet unnoticed was in the 4th quarter when Cook stops for about 2 secs trying to fake out defenders.  Cook was very fortunate he did not get lit up from behind causing a turnover ,  you just cannot stand there with so many defenders around.  That is more of move you may try in the open field with just one defender around.

    If I'm a special teams coach, I'm listening to the analytics guys and telling Harty "if it's gonna bounce behind the 10, just let it roll or you'll never return a punt again for us."

    But sometimes a player with special skills knows that he needs to try to make a play to change the way the game is headed. That's what Harty did!

    I think he said he thought he was around the 10 yard line

    I too am beginning to become worried by Brady insistence on the game plan.

     

    It was clear the run was not working and it was clear Allen was going off after the first quarter. 

    We just kept getting behind on the sticks with forcing the run that was not working

    He may screw up sometimes, but he puts his heart and soul into every game and when the game is on the line, he shines!

     

    That 3rd and 13 he got to extend the drive …. NO other quarterback is getting that.

     

    I will forever ride or die with Josh Allen. I don’t want ANYONE else. I wouldn’t trade him for Mahomes, Burrow, Rodgers and all of the gold in the world.

    Was 30-38 for over 350 yards,  I was more upset with Brady who kept wasting downs trying to run the ball when Allen was torching the Dolphins.  I just visited Dolphins fansite and many were saying the difference was Allen making plays and willing the team to victory while Tua did zero in the second half.  How much punishment is taking on those QB sneaks?

  11. When you look at the difference in yards and time of possession this game is a blowout if the Bills don't mess up in the red zone tonight. Just glad were playing Pittsburg who may be missing Watt next week and it will be at 1pm on Sunday, I hate waiting all day for these night games

     

    Go Bills
