I watched that game for an unfortunately long time and tua would not have fared much better imo. Skylar was constantly being pressured off his spots because the dolphins oline is Swiss cheese right now. Tuas decision making completely breaks down when he has to adjust in the pocket…I think Skylar and bridgewater are actually better than tua in that regard

I’ve heard a few people say they’re nervous about the game if tua plays around here to be fair to the OP OP is talking about 😂. I think they have too many other injuries for it to matter much though. I wouldn’t trot tua out there after at least 2 concussions and a long time off missing his RT and with terron armstead and his best two receivers playing hurt anyway

I think 4 games against NE and NYJ balances that out…every team is gonna play a handful of garbage defenses in a ‘17’ game schedule.

They said all week the bills were fired up to play? I don’t remember hearing that but I could be wrong. I think it’ll be bridgewater trying to read through the lines of what McDaniel has been saying. Sounds like he was just about ready yesterday

I think romo and nance were talking about a period closer to kickoff than Girardi is talking about. Once damar conferenced with them they were probably fired up

Didn’t even really work for them when we were missing two offensive line starters in the last meeting.

To be fair, that’s every game day thread the first time something doesn’t go the Bills way haha all these negative posters come out of nowhere and fill up the thread then disappear when we win by multiple scores haha im still baffled by that…I think a bunch of people show up that don’t post here on a regular basis

This bills team has been one of the least up and down teams I’ve ever seen lol I’m not sure what people are expecting. Every loss was by a tiny margin and there weren’t any games like we’ve seen the last few years where we are bad in all three phases we blew out a couple teams early in the year and people now expect it every time?

I still don’t see the Dorsey criticism…idk if he’s great but he’s certainly better than any guys that are unemployed right now. There were extremely make-able plays that our guys just didn’t execute in all three losses.

The eye test from our fans seems pretty biased though in that we give our opponents zero credit. Cincy who is apparently the best thing since sliced bread got taken right down to the wire by NE and would’ve lost that game if it weren’t for a key fumble.

Idk the formula but we are the best on third down and we are second in ypg and ppg. We scored less than 20 once all season and that was because our entire offensive line was injured lol DVOA factors in opponents and we’ve got two division rivals with really tough defenses to score on

Might be able to play some man depending on how banged up tyreek and waddle are. They did not look healthy yesterday. Pass rush is usually the best friend of a mediocre secondary and if the dolphins are missing a few offensive linemen they could be in trouble offensively. With a qb that hasn’t played in weeks and their two best skill position players banged up behind a patchwork offensive line, I just don’t see how they could outscore us. We put up points on them last time missing multiple offensive linemen, I don’t think we would’ve punted if morse and bates were healthy

Based on Josh’s reaction you can usually tell who’s at fault. Looked like there were a couple of each in this game. Also a few of those ‘thrown behind him’ type balls were very catchable. The overthrow in the end zone looked like josh was being cautious and throwing it away because the linebacker was lurking so I wouldn’t really blame either for that one. If gabe caught 50/50 balls with a little more regularity I’d have no problem chalking some of it up to certain throws weren’t great. But he hardly ever comes down with them it seems

I’d have to see what specific plays people are talkin about but speaking in general terms a lot of times a receiver looks open on tv because of the broadcast angle but if they switch to the view behind the qb you see a whole bunch of linemen’s hands in the passing lanes. If the oline is getting steamrolled like ours often is and those defensive linemen get their hands up, those short underneath throws could potentially be a lot more difficult than they look.

The no bye is what people are talking about

It’s a lot of this, and some ‘the rb sneaks out on a delayed route after a block when the qb is already throwing the ball’ He would’ve needed like 10 passing tds today lol it’s gonna be tough for him to win mvp if we kept getting unlucky with the weather. Seems like the weather was bad for a big chunk of games two years in a row now especially in away games

They did…are you thinking of the chargers? Or are you assuming because the 49ers defense played well against Miami that they must’ve played a lot of press coverage? 49ers played it exactly the same way as what Leslie Frazier is criticized around here for.

You’re giving everyone but cincy and buffalo an extra bye week that way. I’m sure that was pitched to the owners and they turned it down

Lions could’ve been interesting in the playoffs and the Seahawks had to spoil it

Also I don’t think josh really trusts singletary to catch the ball

They literally beat kc with even worse players in the secondary 😂

SF rushed 4 and played quarters off/2 deep all game and it worked for them. Literally more like the Leslie Frazier defense you are criticizing than Leslie Frazier’s actual defense 😂

Has it? It’s hard to say if that’s true. It’s mostly been people overreacting to the first drive or two for the defense the last few weeks. We haven’t allowed a 300 yard passer since Cleveland and a big chunk of those yards were in garbage time. Tackling was certainly bad in the second Miami game but the pass coverage was pretty good outside of that one blown coverage

People don’t ever want dbs to give any sort of cushion and if they do they are labeled as a soft, terrible defense lol

If bates and morse weren’t injured in the same game I don’t think we would’ve punted. The dolphins will rack up plenty of yards though I’m sure but I just don’t think tua can beat josh in a shootout. He’s just too predictable in his reads and where he likes to go with the football
