Yesterday's results.
Eagles 25 Bears 20. Eagles favored by 9. Eagles probably the best team in the league.
Also, Bills favored by 7 over Dolphins, Bills by 10 over Jets, etc...Bills were big favorites over Clev, Det, and Minn too. Every one of those games were close. Only game Bills covered that was a bigger spread was the NE game.
In short, the rational of the Bills being 10 point favorites doesn't indicate a blowout is coming. No one is doubting the Bills are the better team. However, thinking this game is a blowout is not how I see it. The last blowout game was week 5 vs Pitt.
Spreads don’t account for losing your starting center and being forced into having a third string guard play center midgame. Saturday night was an easy cover if morse finished the game. Browns game and second jets games really weren’t ‘close’ by any means. They were both back door covers. It seems like Vegas just straight up whiffed on Detroit since they had a historic midseason turnaround…it is not surprising at all that that game was close given the results of their last 7 games (their only loss was to the bills). This was very much not a ‘the bills barely beat a bad team’ scenario.
bears also backdoor covered vs philly with a late garbage time touchdown. I wouldn’t say the 9 point spread is proof a blowout is coming…the spread is set there because Vegas wants half the bets to be on the bears +9. It is evidence that a comfortable win is very likely though. Philly lost the turnover battle 3-1 and still won comfortably because they are a much better team than Chicago
seems to me like the psychological torment the bills have inflicted on us for years has caused people to not understand what a close game is haha. That bears eagles game was not very close
25-13 with 4 minutes to go in the 4th, outgained Chicago 421-248

I can’t even fathom this. Kohou held before the ball was in the air and got called for that, then clearly interfered when the ball was in the air and got called for that too lol. This wasn’t one call that could’ve gone either way; it was too obvious penalties on the same play that were both automatic first downs

He’s a way better coach the Flores. He actually builds his offense around players. He doesn’t force his players to fit a mold. Hes gonna be a good coach for a while
I’m not objecting to the value he’s adding to the offense at all. What about the defense though? Lol offense is only half the team. They’ve got a lot of talent on the defensive side and they are playing extremely poorly. If we weren’t missing a bunch of offensive linemen in both matchups we would’ve torched them both times.
flores was useless on the offensive side but he had that defense playing very well and McDaniel is the opposite. Maybe they’re more fun to watch with McDaniel at the helm but the results are pretty similar so far despite McDaniel having a lot more talent on both sides of the ball

I like their coach .. I think he’s legit.
They are loaded though. Probably the most talented team in the AFC outside QB.
They probably are hovering around 3-4 losses if Tua doesn’t miss games early in the season.
@Chargers, @Niners, @Bills is just an insane stretch of games… and it highlighted how important an elite QB truly is. 0-2 against teams with elite QB’s and while Miami is a Top 3 non-QB talent team.. SF is #1, and it showed.
I’m interested in the jets dolphins rematch…I don’t think tua wouldve performed much better than bridgewater in the games he missed. He didn’t look good against cincy before the injury. they probably beat Minnesota, I’m not sure about the jets. The jets have made pretty much every offense look bad.
McDaniel certainly installed an effective offensive system that plays to tuas strengths and I give him full credit for that but that defense has been extremely disappointing. If we weren’t down bates and morse we would’ve easily dropped 40+ points
I’ve also seen some questionable decisions on his part costing his team points quite often. Felt like he was just spitefully trying to get tua a passing td on those 3rd and short calls in the bills game lol
maybe people don’t hold the defense against McDaniel because he’s an offense guy but I don’t look at it that way.
total package, he’s mediocre at best in my opinion. He’s got great skill position players and a mediocre qb playing well, but on the flip side he has a talented defense playing poorly

Possible Super Bowl liabilities:
Saffold- Turnstile
Singletary- slowest back in the NFL
Edmunds- lack of football instinct.
McD- challenging challenged
Edmunds has been good/great all year.
singletary seems criminally underrated around here too. Saffold may not even be in the starting lineup if boettger returns which we’ll find out tomorrow. I would agree that saffold is very much not good though lol-

Containing Fields running the ball has to be the Bills top priority. The guys legs are special. No small task. Montgomery is a much better version of Motsert. I thought the Bears game would be a relatively easy wins a few weeks ago. Not anymore.
Bears don’t have tyreek hill and waddle so the defensive gameplan will be much different. David Montgomery is not much better than mostert. He is not even better than mostert

If you only care about offense maybe…that defense on paper is better than Flores’ squad and they have taken a huge step backwards. Does that not reflect on McDaniel because he is an offensive minded head coach?
even their offense isn’t really elite despite having tons of talent…they are racking up tons of yards but the ppg just isn’t there to support that defense. -

We play like we did yesterday against the Chiefs, the Bengals or, if we get that far, the 49ers, Eagles or Cowboys and we get beaten. And there are weaknesses which we are relucant to or cannot address. If this was a one off, fine, but a lot of the issues shown yesterday have been persistent across the season.
An excellent win and a strong record this season is all well and good but improvement is required if we want to make and win the Super Bowl. I think that's all most are saying.
If we matched our performance this week with the chiefs performance this week we would’ve won by 3 scores probably. We probably would’ve beat the cowboys and eagles this week also
Pretty great offensive performance honestly considering we had a third string center for half the game

McDaniel is a punky little dork who just may be able to coach. And it pains me to say that.
They definitely came into Highmark figuring that the Bills wouldn’t be too worried about the run, so run they could and would. I dunno about “jealous” but I was wondering who wasn’t setting the edge or minding their gap to let them run all over the place.
While I was watching the game I felt like they were running and passing all over us and converting 3rd downs at an epic pace, but when I looked at the end of game stats it wasn’t as bad as it seemed - 5 of 14 on 3rd down or about 1/3, Tua 17 of 30 passing.
Bills need an OL upgrade
McDaniel is a mediocre/bad coach imo. I don’t get where the hype is coming from. They get talked about like they have an average roster and he is getting a lot out of his players but their team is absolutely stacked and very much in win now mode with the tyreek trade. They also added two great offensive linemen (when healthy) armstead and Connor Williams and win percentage wise they’re hovering at about previous dolphins team levels
Lots of head scratching playcalls on his part specifically in short yardage situations. He’s got that defense that’s good on paper playing quite poorly too. I don’t think he’s any better than Flores overall but his team is certainly more fun to watch because of tyreek/waddle.

How is the Miami Dolphins the better coached and more talented team?
We beat them. They're 8-6. We're 11-3.
We beat them with a third string center that can only snap the ball to a qb in the shotgun. Gotta think that effected the gameplan.
Miami absolutely implodes when they’re missing an offensive lineman. We would’ve torched them if morse didn’t go down or if bates was available. Dolphins got a gift against us twice this year…we played a whole half + with a third string center in the first matchup too
8 minutes ago, Bruffalo said:The incredibly poor offensive line play makes it really impossible to judge anything. It's screwing up the rhythm because Allen has to whip out magic to make basic plays work. If he wasn't superhuman, this team would be dead in the water.
Without Morse, we have four out of the five lineman who are at replacement level.
Spencer Brown, for as big and athletic as he is, is constantly getting beat. The guard play has been atrocious, Saffold might be the worst guy on the team if it wasn't for Bobby Hart.
I'm not going to judge Dorsey too harshly until we get some at least average guys graded in the O-Line.
Bates will help when he returns. Van roten is bad when he plays his normal position but when he has to bump over to center he is pretty close to if not the worst offensive lineman in the league.

And if we don't start playing D like we did against the Jets, we're done. Why we can't be an attacking defense is beyond me. We need a new DC with an aggressive attitude. It's absolutely aggravating. We don't have the talent to play press against Hill and Waddle?....or have the ability to do that when need be? Why can't we send blitzes when we're stuffing the run game on passing downs? We need some new blood on the Defensive staff. Josh Allen can't be like P.Manning with no Defense. We're gonna get screwed with this 1990 Defensive approach.
Do people not watch the games? Lol we blitzed on nearly half the snaps. Completely different gameplan than the first meeting.

No question about that for 3 quarters that was a dreadful defensive performance.
You do equally have to give them some credit for playing their best in the clutch. After the strip sack of Josh it was absolutely critical that they held the Dolphins to a field goal, and they did. A Miami touchdown there and it is all but a wrap. So they did find some plays when needed.
Overall I agree it was a bad day for the defense. Not just the run game. They blew the coverage on the Waddle touchdown and the two guys who you could argue have been the most consistent players on this D the past two years - Poyer and Milano - both had very rough outings. We got a little bit of pressure around Tua early but struggled to maintain that as the game went on. It was not a good day.
But you have to look at the reasons why. And I think by far the biggest singular factor was lack of execution of our fundamentals. Bad tackling, loss of contain, and a big blown coverage.
There are a lot of people who just stylistically don't like our defense. That is their prerogative. But I think they let that bleed into "the scheme sucks" whenever the defense underperforms (which has done just twice this year btw - yesterday and the Vikings game). They have kept every other offense to or below their season average.
That was really the first game we didn’t look good on defense with most of our core players in there (Milano/edmunds/Hyde)
milano had a really tough night he was more than likely playing through an injury.

Is that because we’re going to blow a 17 point lead by turning the ball over on 4 straight possessions in our own territory in Cincinnati?
Still can’t believe the saints blew that bucs game…would’ve loved to see Brady’s team at 5-9 right now

There are just so many...
I’d honestly call the people not being critical of kc anti-homers which is just as bad 😂. Idk how we can criticize the way the bills have been winning games against pretty good teams and not be allowed to be critical of the way kc has been winning against bottom of the barrel teams. They faced 4 or 5 backup qbs this year and still barely held on in those games. Neither the bills or chiefs are an impossible team to beat in the playoffs

This has been such a bizarre year.
KC lost to Indy and barely beat Den, Hou, and Titans.
We lost to the Jets and barely beat Detroit & Miami in the snow.
Other things too.
To answer the question, I am not sure there is a juggernaut in the AFC. Teams have gotten lucky. Teams have gotten unlucky.
Philly is the 1 seed. But they barely beat Chicago, Hou, Indy. Lost to Wsh.
What team doesn't have flaws?
Detroit is now 6-1 in their last 7 with their only loss coming against buffalo…they’ve got a good shot at a 9-1 finish with us being their only loss. Kc is barely hanging on against terrible teams who are often missing their starting qb
jets are a much better team with Mike white than the teams kc is barely beating too

Chiefs needed OT this year to win against the worst team in the league, and the Titans with maybe the worst QB performance from a rookie making his first start due to injury. Idk if they play down to their competition or what.
Played the rams with a third string qb too and they were in a tight game against Denver and Russell Wilson got hurt. They are without a doubt the luckiest team in the league

Chiefs and Vikings are the two luckiest teams I’ve ever seen

There was no guarantee he was getting in the end zone and no guarantee the dolphins wouldn’t have stripped the football either. Assuming they were confident in the fg hold/kick in the snow it was probably the right call

Eat a bag of HGH, PEDelman.
I can’t get over how inane that tweet is. Kohou got hit with a defensive hold penalty before the dpi even happened on the same play so that’s a first down either way. Not to mention enforcing the rule correctly actually helped his beloved patriots

The Dolphins have no 1st or 4th or 5th or 6th round pick next year, but they do have two thirds.
The following year they have no 3rd and 4th because of the Chubb trade and TAMPERING.
Tyreek trade is gonna bite them. He’ll be on the decline and waddles rookie contract will be up by the time they can put the missing pieces together

Agree. Makes Buffalo fans look like drunken trash.
Every snow game for every team this happens. It’s not a good look but the dolphins and nfl look just as bad complaining about it/threatening to penalize the team as the fans look for doing it (dolphins fans were definitely throwing them too)
it was stupid pretty much all around
