Well, it is playcalling to some degree. Blitzing repeatedly only to run into a brick wall is pretty damn stupid

The effort on the two big plays by Mostert from Milano and Epenesa is embarrassing

The Bills. They are going to $%/" them up on Saturday night

I do. That was a really uneven game. However, the Bills had been showing signs up to that point of really starting to click on offense, and they still ran the ball effectively against Atlanta in spite of Allen's poor showing.

The Bills have been pretty outstanding overall given the challenges they've faced. In fact, this might be McDermott's best coaching job so far. That said, there's no doubt they need to raise their level collectively a notch or two to get where we all want to be

No but we need to get our mojo back soon on offense, especially given some of the hits we've taken on defense

Kind of agree here, but it's not just Josh being a little gun shy. Can you honestly remember a game where our offense schemed guys open with ease? Even when we were rolling, it was all on Allen. Dorsey has been highly underwhelming

Agree here. I feel like the game against the Jets is scarier than the Dolphins. Their D is absolutely legit

Armstead practiced on Friday, so there is a pretty decent chance he will be back against the Chargers

Please. The receivers are running wide open man. I should hope a QB could hit these last couple throws

Shanahan allowing him to try to do too much. Miami has a poor run defense and he's a 3rd string rookie. Stick to the ground game

The Jets are gonna be a bear next week if they pull off a road comeback like this

Oh yeah, we should definitely be worrying more about the Chiefs than our own division

The ref literally started to reach for his flag then decided against it

Cannot believe this Jets game

Say we don't beat them. Wouldn't it be better for the Jets to have another L?

Does anyone find it crazy how hard the Jets are trying to convince everyone (including themselves) that Mike White is the answer? He has damn near 40 pass attempts through the 3rd quarter. Ridiculous

Same here unfortunately. Vikings need a big, momentum changing play

Yes, but will that not be much easier to do with a Dolphins loss today? They win and we're back to the 5th seed

Unless you feel winning out is going to be a breeze we don't have total and firm control over the East, either. Not saying it can't happen, but what have you seen from the Bills level of play that suggests it is likely? I just don't see why we're worrying more about KC than Miami at this moment. Let's say they win today but we take them down in Buffalo - there's still plenty of possibilities where we could lose the division. If the Dolphins lose today and we beat them (and the Jets), then I'll turn my focus to KC

Because we have to secure our division first and that is far from a guarantee at this point. Everyone seems to be assuming that winning out is an easy task. The Chiefs losing makes no difference if we finish 2nd in the East

Good question. The 3rd tiebreaker after head to head and division record is common games. Buffalo and Miami share 8 common games this year: Miami: Ravens W Bengals L Vikings L Steelers W Lions W Bears W Browns W Packers (home) Buffalo: Ravens W Steelers W Packers W Vikings L Browns W Lions W Bears (away) Bengals (away) Thus far the Bills are 5-1 in common games while Miami is 5-2, so Buffalo has a very slight edge. If the Bills split with Chicago and Cincinnati and Miami beats the Packers, we would then move to the 4th tiebreaker, conference record. Both the Bills and Miami are currently 6-2. Miami has @LAC, @BUF, @NE, and NYJ. Buffalo has NYJ, MIA, @CIN, and NE. Again, a slight edge for the Bills but ALL of our potential advantages are predicated on the Bills beating Miami in Buffalo. Should the Bills lose, they will likely need some serious help to win the division (and I recognize that your question assumes the Bills will win out in their division games). 5th and 6th tiebreakers are strength of victory and strength of schedule. If it got that far, Buffalo would be nearly certain to have the edge based on current numbers (Miami SOV .423, SOS .496, while Buffalo is SOV .475 and SOS .537).

I can confirm it's not a worry
