He had a trick play thrown in that absolutely blew up and killed the drive too lol I think we hit brian bingo

If Daboll had serious elbow injury josh/2022 bills oline his offense would’ve been considerably worse than dorsey’s imo. I think Daboll is going to go down as one of the more overrated head coaching candidates in recent history. That first year is gonna be his pinnacle McDaniel is bordering on overrated for me too but that’s more of a ‘he’s very good but people are saying he’s some kind of genius’ situation. They just don’t beat playoff caliber opponents but his track star team is well suited to blowing out bottom feeders. He’s now 2-6 in the regular season against playoff teams(assuming the bills make it this year) and those two wins were flukey, very narrow wins over the ravens and bills who were decimated by injuries. The bills outgained them by like double the yards in that loss despite being down to backups or the backups of backups at nearly every position I don’t think McDaniel should be crowned for scoring a bunch of points against horrible teams because in the grand scheme of things your performance against the good teams is really all that matters especially when you’re all in like the dolphins front office is. They are in cap hell the next few years He deserves a lot of credit for designing a successful offense with a bad offensive line built around a qb that can’t use the whole field or do much of anything when the pocket is collapsing but at some point when do you start blaming the OC/head coach when tua doesn’t get better at those things. If his first read isn’t open within a second or two of the snap the chances the play will be successful drops to pretty much 0. Tua hasn’t improved at all under McDaniel the system is just really successful at masking his issues against bad/mediocre defenses

Good god if the giants don’t get some offensive linemen back by next weekend they’re gonna lose by 100

Imagine the ptsd Miami fans have watching josh Allen march down the field though lol he’s done it his whole career against them his worst game against them is 366 total yards 2tds 2 ints (should’ve been 3 td and like 50 more yards)

I was absolutely thinking the opposite and I’m on record saying it in the gameday thread lol it was objectively harder for Miami to score than buffalo those first few drives…I think some of y’all are biased due to past football related traumas 😂 The bills were absolutely steamrolling the dolphins. The dolphins had a couple flukey plays drop in to sustain drives on offense early

He does seem like he’d be the type that’s a little too much of a players coach

Idk where he’s getting that from…the dolphins had a supremely lucky play go their way on the first two drives. The bills had absolutely 0 difficulty scoring on offense it was pretty clear sal had that tweet backwards. Nothing really changed at all their luck just ran out

I’m starting to feel better about the bengals playoff loss retroactively. Daquan jones is probably a top 2 player on the team and he was out for that one. The dude is an absolute animal

Oh he ain’t a genius by any means lol that was never in question. Idk that I’d put the blame squarely on him is all I’m trying to say. That defensive roster is bordering on inept

That really was a season saver as far as winning the division goes. If we lost that one we’d essentially be down 3 games because even if we evened up by winning the rematch in Miami we’ve still got that jets loss haunting our division record lol 2022 we were both 2-0 when we lost to them the first time so not quite as scary

I could absolutely see that…he definitely came in and begged for a corner I’m sure which got him Ramsey. That dolphins defense isn’t really well suited for anybody haha I’m not sure what their front office has been doing on that side of the ball they’ve def gotten plenty of offensive returns on the tyreek trade but there were just so many holes on that defense. Xavien Howard needed to return to form for them to have a shot at halfway decent but he’s been declining for awhile now Yea they certainly couldn’t have done much worse lol their corners are atrocious though so he was probably worried about them holding up if he kept adding pass rushers. Dorsey definitely ate his lunch motioning diggs around to get him one on one with Kohou

I think the timeout he took gave mahomes and Kelce time to talk about how the bills were lined up too so I’d blame McDermott for a few things. Not sure if we called a timeout then made 0 adjustments lol I’m gonna soft disagree on week 1 this year but dorsey def had issues last year. The first half of the jets game things went exactly by design and it was more than good enough to win but it felt like josh just got frustrated they weren’t moving the ball up to his standards and he started just winging the ball all over the place could be a conspiracy theory but I still feel like josh just didn’t have the touch for underneath throws in traffic with his elbow injury last year…idk if that’s just wishful thinking or not 😂

Some coordinators seem to ride the coattails of really talented players for awhile then the league eventually learns their lesson and they stop getting jobs lol at least with someone like McDaniel their offensive play design has been objectively great so you know what he’s brought to the table as a coach. But some of these hirings around the league are real head scratchers at times it’s anecdotal but that Denver defense has imploded with fangio gone so who knows who’s to blame. It’s possible he just inherited a defense not well suited to what he likes to do too or maybe a little bit of that and he’s also a bit overrated Xavien Howard is washed and he doesn’t have Ramsey yet so I’d think they’d improve a little bit later in the season at the very least. Kohou got abused playing outside

Linebackers can though and we brought a lot of simulated pressure with linebackers blitzing and DL dropping it seemed like to me. I’ve gotta watch the all 22 which I will be happy to do since there’s not much better than watching us blow out the dolphins 😂 that late sack absolutely seemed like a LB jumped the snap due to timing his rush based on the motion but maybe that was more of a one off thing and that one play stood out to me more than it should have though. Can’t remember who it was but they got a big time running start

Oh yea I am definitely pro hill trade for them he’s a lot of what makes that offense work, it just took away a lot of their safety net if they missed on a few picks/trades and sped up the timeline on when their window of being competitive opened up. I don’t think he’s a guy they’ll ever be able to replace and idk how long a burner wr can be at max effectiveness without losing a step. I think the jets were built in a way where they could get a couple years out of rodgers and draft a guy to take over and they’d be competitive longer than the dolphins. of course who knows now with the rodgers injury they might fall into the infinite loop of drafting a qb and throwing them to the wolves with that bad offensive line

Oh yea that’s impossible to argue cuz the Brady tampering they lost a first for no return lol chubb was such a weird trade though they are loaded with pass rushers…I think they thought they had a chance to mask their lb/cb coverage issues if they just brought the house often which gave them a path to playoff success but it just didn’t work out that way. These great afc qbs are athletic and can buy themselves time which exposes all the issues on the back end of their defense even if tua was healthy and they snuck by us there’s no shot they were beating the chiefs too that kc oline was too good last year.

They absolutely tanked their rebuild with that trade and the Brady tampering. Those two firsts could’ve gone a long way if used correctly the hill trade they traded pretty much all their wiggle room if they made a front office misstep for a great player If they added a linebacker that’s a beast in coverage and a good corner to play across from Ramsey Kohou could go back to the slot where he belongs and their defense would have a shot at being good

Not common at all, requires a very high completion percentage and yards per attempt. You need over 77.5% completion percentage, no ints, and 12.5 yards per attempt tua did not hit the max in the 70 point game against the broncos that should tell you how hard it is haha Mike white hit it on two passes though 😂

It’s a crazy mathematical formula based on yards per pass and completion percentage and turnovers a perfect score requires 77.5% completion percentage, 12.5 yards per attempt, no ints. There’s quite a few steps along the way where if you are over a certain number it gets rounded down so you don’t need to complete every pass to hit the max number

Imagine having a perfect qb rating and less incompletions than tds and you’re the second ranked player on your team 😂

It’s an awkward situation where people are likely gonna blame the dolphins for not being as good as people thought more than giving credit to the bills defense. it’s entirely possible that the dolphins offense is that good and McDermott put together a masterful gameplan though. people only really remember 13 seconds and the bengals smoking us in the playoffs which is not surprising but the bills have had some stellar defensive performances in big games too. That 17-3 playoff win over the ravens was pretty impressive and he has made mahomes look pretty bad the last few meetings too obviously yesterday was a great effort on the defensive side as well

I just can’t understand why the dolphins didn’t look at what the jets are doing and try to emulate it. The dolphins are 100% win now from a front office perspective but their team needs to rely on winning a shootout against josh Allen and the bills defense to win the division. their team is built completely backwards to compete with the top dogs in the AFC. Tua is not gonna win a shootout/track meet against mahomes or josh Allen. If the bengals don’t get their offensive line turned around the dolphins match up pretty well with them at least because pretty much all they’ve loaded up with on the defensive side is pass rushers the jets could pick up a veteran qb for relatively cheap and they are at the same level of being a contender as the dolphins…it may be less fun to watch than what the dolphins are doing but who cares

Their team is vastly underperforming the last few years based on the resources they’ve spent and nobody is really talking about it they are in firm ‘win now’ territory from a front office perspective but the team still has massive holes. Blowing that first on Bradley Chubb and losing a first for Brady tampering sunk them when tyreek starts to decline they are a 5 win team

I think it’s been weather/his elbow injury last year…we’ve had more bad weather games than anyone the last few years and it’s mostly just bad luck cuz it’s the away games too 😂 when you’re in an mvp race 5 or 6 games in pouring rain or high winds are a death sentence

If armstead or Connor Williams are out for an extended period I think his mvp chances are out the window. Even a lot of the bad/mediocre teams in the league have good defensive lines. They’ve still got: chiefs jets x 2 eagles cowboys titans Commanders Bills with von miller patriots ravens Can’t play the broncos every week lol and his competition for mvp has 1 or 2 games against the broncos remaining Chiefs have two against the broncos and two against the raiders. Honestly mahomes winning mvps should come with an asterisk at this point, josh has 4 games against two of the best defenses in the league, tua has 6 games against three of the best defenses in the league, burrows got 4 against good defenses no idea what to make of the Steelers yet, mahomes has 6 games a year against bad defenses
