I agree…really hope belichick is done in NE. Seems like he’s starting to figure us out. Although it’s not like Barmore will be leaving with him lol

I’m curious what happens around here if we beat Miami…I think he deserves some credit for the winning streak which would include beating the 4th 5th and 6th ranked teams by dvoa but will he get it idk 😂.

I’m gonna be honest I don’t really get the whole admitting he’s good thing. If you’re knowingly firing a good coach the odds things improve under someone else that’s a mostly unknown commodity are very small. If you think he’s holding the team back/getting carried by the talent he has and want him fired that is something I completely understand.

I’d def agree with that…kind of reminds me of the 90s Knicks who were a great team they just kept running into Michael Jordan in the playoffs beating Miami does a ton for both the optics and our chances of playoff success, either we win the division and finish 5-0 with 3 wins over playoff teams in that stretch then have a few favorable playoff matchups or we enter as a wildcard team after lookin a little shaky against two bad teams if not missing the playoffs entirely

Why should we have lost? Because one of the worst offenses in the league notorious for turning the ball over turned it over 3 times… that’s unusual somehow? I’d say returning the opening kickoff is pretty unusual too lol that ridiculous throw and catch to reagor leading to a touchdown drive was pretty unusual also NE plays teams tough and loses by 10 points or less pretty much every week and that’s without a kickoff return typically…there’s really no basis for saying we should’ve lost the game it’s pretty much business as usual. That was essentially a 9 point win minimum as we ran out the clock in scoring range and NE never got closer than 6 points the entire second half. They only had one drive where they even could’ve taken the lead with a td but promptly went three and out. I think what happens a lot of the time around here is people are overly emotional while watching the game and they convince themselves the game was closer than it actually was because they assume the bills will blow it somehow based on past history 😂 this game was over after the bills first second half drive

That playoff game always felt really fluky to me..they just sent the house and played man knowing it was their only chance and dodged so many bullets with us just barely missing a ton of deep shots to wide open guys. That game looked bad in the box score but we were a few inches on a couple deep throws away from a 500 passing yard 6+ TD type game I think our oline is much better than last year and they are down two huge pass rushing pieces and Xavien Howard as well so they really don’t have any hope of emulating that defensive gameplan…if they were gonna have Ramsey and a healthy Xavien Howard maybe I’d be a little more nervous but we’re almost definitely gonna see Eli Apple on the defensive side I think we’re better equipped to deal with their speed than most defenses…maybe if both teams were 100% healthy it would be closer but I don’t see a lot of ways Miami wins this one. They’re fighting an uphill battle in the trenches on both sides of the ball

Getting Daquan back was huge…the only time the dolphins offense really worked us was when they ran the ball at will in the second matchup last year. I don’t think McDermott has any trouble scheming against tua. We were loading up on defense to beat the chiefs which has given us some favorable personnel to slow down the dolphins too

Ah yes…sinking to new lows of more than likely winning 5 straight games to steal the division from a team with a 3 game lead and beating three playoff teams along the way 😂 I really think the dolphins are gonna mostly phone it in with so many injuries and a playoff spot clenched tbh…they are not in good shape to get into a dogfight with a win or go home team right now Severely doubt they win a playoff game if they get into a tough game with the bills I really think it’s in both teams best interest for the bills to be the 2 and the dolphins to rest up and get the wc honestly then go into kc and win….of course no coach will concede the division though 😂

The games where not everything has gone our way there’s been a ton of interior pressure which causes Josh to throw off his back foot a whole lot KC,LAC, and NE yesterday seemed to get a lot of pressure up the middle

Why is Dallas an outlier when we dropped a ton of points on nyj and Philly too lol…half of Brady’s games we’ve scored over 30 and it’s not like Dorsey was any better vs NE. We did absolutely nothing in that earlier NE game until josh started pulling insane plays out of his a** late in the game 😂

I’d think the bills would be pretty motivated too if a loss eliminated them and Miami would be far less motivated with a banged up team that already clinched what if the Miami team that played Baltimore shows up? 😂. Miami is just too invested in pass rushing specialists and they seem to struggle with mobile qbs that can throw so we’ve always been a tough matchup for them

Two of those guys will be missing this game too and Bradley Chubb and Xavien howard and possibly waddle and mostert they have considerably more impactful injuries this meeting than last

Zappe put up 14 and contributed 10 points directly to us and that’s being generous on how much he cost his team. josh put up 14 and had a game clinching drive that would’ve resulted in points…not even remotely close who outplayed who I wouldn’t say josh was good by any means but zappe was a disaster overall.

I think there’s some truth to both sides…they’re good because they are well coached and would be even better with a lot of those guys back. kind of reminds me of kc where like Chris jones, Barmore is just so good at creating interior pressure that the back end doesn’t have to cover long so the overall defense looks really good

He’d probably be walking pretty strangely with a broken collarbone…obviously it doesn’t affect your legs moving though 😂. But I’d expect him to be holding his arm or noticeably favoring one shoulder

I think some of y’all only watch bills games…defenses have been disrupting qbs more than they have in recent memory all around the league. I think mahomes and Allen have a lot of parallels including struggling a bit this season because they don’t have a top tier oline and their main pass catching option seems like they’re playing injured

Josh would’ve absolutely smoked the bills defense we started in NE to be fair. outplayed by zappe and his 3 ints? Lol I don’t think that’s true either

Idk I think that’s a pretty safe line if the ravens starters play a half. Vegas def doesn’t think they’re playing a full game though that I would agree with. It’s a pretty small line movement to a pick em if they announce the ravens starters are playing a half imo

Yea I don’t think there’s any way they play the full game but if ravens starters play a half it’s a pick em to me and the line will swing a few points

There’s also the risk of your guys coming out flat in the playoffs because they haven’t played in weeks.. the team they’ll go up against just pulled off a big win to advance to the next round the week prior. It comes down to what harbaugh is more worried about if Baltimore had the 2 seed locked up with no shot at a bye they would definitely rest most starters all game but with the bye I’m not sure. I think they’ll play a half

It’s a weird situation haha there was a long stretch where the bills d got zero late game stops and I’d say they’re more to blame for the first pats loss…it’s 50/50 on who cost us the playoffs if we don’t make it imo

They sat starters when they had the bye a few years ago then got smoked by the 6 seed after their starters vacation ended lol. So I’m not sure what they’re gonna do pit also plays them really tough historically so they may not want to see pit in the playoffs

I don’t think it had anything to do with them suddenly thinking Lamar was lefty lol it had everything to do with them thinking that weird body motion was Lamar handing off the ball to the rb and them getting confused by the presnap motion

Feels like Vegas isn’t sure to me…Baltimore famously got the one seed and rested starters in 2019 then got absolutely smoked by the 6 seed in their first playoff game also the ravens have historically struggled against pit so I wouldn’t think they’d want to see them in the playoffs. I’d be surprised if the Baltimore starters don’t play a half

That was a low ankle sprain aka a rolled ankle if it was a low grade low ankle sprain. High ankle sprains take a lot longer to heal
