Seems like people disregard defense entirely from the convos like this I’ve had about the dolphins in this thread 😂. On offense they’re doing about the same as us with the same talent level…josh is certainly better than tua but they are way ahead at wr2 and our banged up offensive line hasn’t been as good. On defense though, man they are doing a lot less with pretty similar ish defensive talent

There’s 0 truth to it. This division being close for awhile was a mirage created by scheduling. We had all our road division games before playing any home ones and Miami didn’t hit their difficult stretch of schedule until the end of the season and went 0-3 in that stretch. This is as comfortable of a division lead as we’ve ever had. Miami got lucky against us twice with our offensive line being ravaged by injuries or we would’ve blown them out both times. They are at the end of a rebuild after mortgaging a ton of resources on tyreek hill. Their team is just not set up well to compete with the bills long term. the jets are more on the right track but they have a ton of question marks also. Miami is a one year wonder unless they have a huge defensive shakeup what evidence is there that the bills are going to trail off? We were missing just about every high impact player on the defensive side for a big chunk of the season and we were still winning games. seems like people are under the false assumption that Miami/NYJ can continue to make these big splashes in the offseason and they really can’t. Miami traded a ton for hill/Chubb and lost a first rounder from tampering. Both those teams will draft later than they have been too. It’s really more about what coaching staff can develop talent and seeing as the dolphins have ran a talented defense straight into the ground I don’t have much faith in them in that regard

I haven’t seen a single actual nfl analyst say that play was controversial so they’re really reaching on this one 😂. It is still absolutely baffling because Kohou 100% irrefutably held on the same play and got called for that too. We would’ve had a first down if the dpi was called or not the dolphins are the 2021 pats…beat us once mostly due to external factors, played us pretty tough once and lost, struggled against quality opponents down the stretch coughing up the division lead, and will likely be stomped by us in the first round of the playoffs if they make it

We had a third string guard playing center against them for 4 quarters across both matchups and we got lucky? Lol they would’ve gotten blown out both games if that didn’t happen. McDaniel is a great offensive coordinator but he’s not a head coach. They are last in points allowed in the AFC and have a whopping one net point despite being loaded with playmakers on both sides of the ball

Every player makes everyone on here nervous 😂

With how bad the pass blocking has been, josh running the football is protecting him if anything. Lots of rib injury/concussion injury potential when you’re taking a hard hit on a sack which is why the nfl has been so aggressive with enforcing roughing the passer rules.

It’s lookin like the jags could bump out the titans too

It is completely clear that mac was carried by a strong running game/defense and they were able to make the playoffs thanks to an easy schedule. Their offensive line regressed a bit and the whole team has now completely fallen apart

Where is that Miami reporter that said the bills shouldn’t have a team because it could snow 😂. Gonna have to get rid of the packers and bears too lol

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

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’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

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

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.

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 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.

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 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.

Do people not watch the games? Lol we blitzed on nearly half the snaps. Completely different gameplan than the first meeting.

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.

Still can’t believe the saints blew that bucs game…would’ve loved to see Brady’s team at 5-9 right now

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

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

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
