Bills are pretty much unstoppable when the offensive line is playing well and we were mauling the bengals dline on that first drive. Was likely headed to 14-10 by the end of the first quarter

CBs and linebackers were great Sunday. One silver lining in that strange and stressful game lol edmunds and Milano were everywhere

Qbr accounts for the plays as they happened…pff analyzes each play and assigns the players a point value for how they performed individually. So something like that 50 yard bomb to shakir or the Knox dropped td goes down as a max positive play for josh even though it was incomplete.

It’s crazy how much that shakir drop changed the game. Cost us 3-7 points and added probably 10 points to dolphins score. Could’ve easily been a 17 point swing. Although we may not have snagged that extra fg just before halftime

I’m not sure that turnover would’ve counted against Beasley either though…I’d assume the offensive grade is somewhat of an average of all the individual performances. the original post mentioned Allen’s grade separately too…that’s what I was originally commenting on

Huge play in the game was the Beasley int and pff wouldn’t have credited that against josh. He also gets credit for the deep pass to shakir and the Knox ‘drop’ in the end zone from pffs point of view josh had a 400+ yard 4 or 5 td game with an int and a fumble a lot of those deep balls were the right read too and just barely missed

Which is kind of odd to me…RZ interceptions conceptually feel the worst but an interception on your own side of the field is a lot worse. I think that is literally OPs point…the margin of error is how much you can fudge around and still win the game and we fudged around a lot and still won the game lol

Pff hasn’t been too friendly to tre so the pff disciples might disagree 😂. I’d trust the all pro voters over pff for sure

Pretty intrigued for the rematch…I felt pretty good about the bills chances that night too haha. The bills defense always starts slow and our offense is virtually impossible to stop when they’re getting offensive line push like we saw on that first drive. That would’ve been a fun one if the worst thing ever didn’t happen.

I’m not seeing a lot of times I wouldn’t have wanted him to throw the deep ball here. That Beasley play was an absolute mugging by the db wow.

I’m with you after originally thinking Hendrickson rolled into him on purpose. The replay had a really odd hitch in it that it took me a few times to realize

Bills defense was great against the dolphins but I think that’s getting lost due to how weird the game was…Skylar Thompson really didn’t play that badly given the circumstances. He bought himself a lot of extra time and made some plays off script. held them to 42 rushing yards on 15 drives. cincy is banged up on the offensive line also and burrow is not the most mobile guy in the universe.

Miamis play sheet glitched on cover 1 press so that’s kind of how it goes. We were running a deep cross to pull the safety and then the outside guys were beating the press 1 on 1 down the sideline. That was the weirdest football game I’ve ever seen lol it’s a look a team with a qb like Allen and receivers like davis and diggs would be begging an opponent to play all game and the dolphins did it and almost won. go routes down the sideline seem to be the only thing davis really excels at and the dolphins were just giving it to us all game 😂 in a not so distant alternate universe josh hits on a couple more of those deep throws he missed by inches and he’s got 500+ passing yards and 5 tds

Linebackers are the worst in football? Lol that is an absolutely incredibly incorrect take. Jaelan Phillips/Bradley Chubb/Melvin Ingram? Heck even Jerome baker is pretty good. Only average player at LB is elandon roberts. Jaelan Phillips was the best player on the field yesterday and it wasn’t even close.

Healthy Hendrickson might make it a different story, but I’d rather see the bengals defense than the dolphins with a healthy Xavien Howard. Cincy doesn’t have the talent in the secondary to man us up and send the house. Kohou and howard were playing well down the stretch…crossen isn’t very good but one mediocre corner you can gameplan around. Wilkins/jaelan Phillips / Bradley Chubb are all great pass rushers. Dolphins problems all season were on the back end with Xavien Howard playing well below 100% for most of the year. No disrespect to the bengals defense but no one on their team will play as well as jaelan Phillips did yesterday…he was absolutely everywhere.

Could’ve been less damage to the knee groove in mahomes’ case. There’s definitely varying severities…could be a pretty big injury risk to the ligaments too if you’re playing through that I had a friend playing basketball through a kneecap injury and it ended up leading to him tearing his acl

Miamis got a tough front 7 and they were blitzing often…our oline is going to look a lot better against cincy. Granted cincy will actually do things on offense haha it will be a completely different game no matter who wins I think the deep goes were the adjustment…we just didn’t hit enough of them.. they were giving us free tds frequently playing cover 1 press most of the day. Of course in previous games we have gone deep too often though so I could see people being frustrated at this one

That’s how I’m looking at it…we really gain nothing from blowing out the dolphins there

Really bad hold the play before their td too…I think it was a quick screen to Ahmed if I’m remembering properly

I don’t think hodgins is any better than kumerow and crowder they both just happened to get hurt

I’m strictly talking about yesterdays game…if cover 1 comes out and says ‘he shouldn’t be throwing to open go routes’ I will be shocked. Those ARE layups for huge gains. These were not often risky downfield jump balls like in weeks past…there was one of those to diggs that was a ridiculous throw that hit him right in the hands somehow. Lots of the shots were wide open go routes though…most notably the back to back to Davis that everyone complained about im not trying to say the criticism from previous games is false im just trying to say it doesn’t track with what happened yesterday. Miami basically inverted the formula against the bills that’s been employed all season long so the thing he’s previously been accused of doing too much of became the recipe for success imo. Miami was gambling that their dbs could jam long enough for the pass rush to get home and the results were pretty mixed…they were lucky to not give up a buttload more points lol I think any type of advanced play analysis from yesterdays game is going to be a lot more josh friendly than the posts here are making it sound but we’ll see. If you don’t want your qb taking deep sideline shots against cover 1 press you need a new qb. Trying to thread the needle deep into cover 2 like he’s done sometimes is a completely different situation

The offense is gameplanning around missing a starter too keep in mind lol they’re not just gonna leave some talentless hack on an island one on one. If the OL guy they’re replacing was responsible for picking up assignments one on one because the offensive scheme relies on flooding the field with wrs then you could start seeing major issues. Miami could run a one man route to tyreek hill and he’d still get open if Thompson can buy enough time 😂

Miami had armstead play which made a huge difference.. the other guys that were out are so bad that their replacements weren’t that big of a downgrade. Eichenberg is absolutely horrible and shell is pretty bad. No armstead and they would have gotten obliterated Miami runs a lot of heavy sets too so they can gameplan around missing some offensive linemen a little more successfully

Let them keep thinkin it lol give us the outside single coverage/ blitz heavy defense every game I still don’t even get it though…those two picks really weren’t on him.. the fumble was but he’s certainly not the first good qb to fumble a football

I don’t get how it’s not everyone’s cup of tea haha that’s what I’ve been trying to figure out 🤣. Those underneath throws are not just free yards especially when your guys are getting jammed and the pocket is collapsing. They could get tipped,they could go through the receivers hands, etc. if your guys are winning single coverage go routes that’s a throw you just have to make. In past games josh has been going deep into tight windows and that I certainly wouldn’t endorse but an open go route? Give me that every time. I hope every team tries to model the Miami defense
