That makes a lot of sense actually. Spector finished with 4 tackles which was 4th on the team behind Bernard, Johnson, and Poyer. Considering he played 37% of the snaps, I'd say he did OK. Correct, especially considering (comparatively) small Jersey tugs and stuff they were calling as DPI later on in the game. "Course hazards", I tell ya, "Course hazards"

He caught that thing like it was thrown right to him. Hyde and Poyer apparently talk to the football pre-game like it's a woman they're trying to take home with them. They wheedle, they sweet talk "come to me on the field", they try persuasion. Maybe they finally got Rapp to "get with the program" LOL

LOL. Agree on the agent as source. "Bills standout WR" and "one of the top WR FA available this off season" How severe it is and whether or not it keeps him out of Sunday's game, of course, depends upon the grade, and whether or not other ligaments were injured.

There are some media pundits we all seem to agree are out to be controversial and have consistently over the top takes. So why give them the clicks and views? Serious Q.

So we got Panthers - Reich Chargers - Staley Vegas - Josh McDaniel Commanders - Rivera Atlanta - Arther Smith https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2024-nfl-head-coach-tracker-five-jobs-open-after-ron-rivera-arthur-smith-firings/ Article speculates that Eberflus with Bears and Belicheck with Pats could be upcoming.

This is true. Allen's ability to extend plays is both a blessing and a curse. So against the Pats, Belicheck was dialing up a lot of assymetric pressures where it looked like he was sending the house then one side would drop into coverage and the other would overload and penetrate. He would also bluff pressure from the outside, then drop off - but the OTs would have to account for the supposed pressure and leave the center of the line on an island. Torrence was getting beat by these tactics.

Yes. For those who are seriously interested, a look at the game stats is interesting. First half - pretty even game. 101 yds rushing, 117 net yards passing for the Fins. 13 first downs. Compare and contrast, in the second half 7 yards rushing . SEVEN. 50 yards passing. 3 first downs. The Bills backed off and clamped down on the run, while maintaining pressure up the middle to prevent Tua from being able to step up and sometimes forcing him to roll out. Tua even scrambled once!

Came with receipts. 🥰 This one is particularly striking What the ***** kind of fan, even a critical fan, "prays" for an outcome unfavorable to his team and for the QB and coach to be "exposed" This guy is, indeed, a total Maroon.

Both true. Toss in a bit of Josh not taking his hot read at times when he should have (example: on the 4th and 2 deep INT targeting Davis, he had Kincaid open right away for a 1st down and probably more. But yeah, to my eye they blitzed us a ton. Sorry about your team, the Miami Dolphins. Oh Wait - NO I"M NOT! 🦬🦬

I've tried to fight that fight here. You're right, but good luck, you'll need it.

Typically there's a McD presser on Monday, but usually not until the afternoon - 3 or 4 pm. Banged Up Bills will do an injury review but I think that's typically Tuesday. But you know he's gonna just 🧇 and say stuff like "I'll know more after I talk to our training staff tomorrow" TJ Watt Grade 2 MCL, likely unavailable for Steelers @ Bills is a biggie. The Grade 2 is good news for Steelers fans since initially they were saying "Grade 3", but

I Hear That! During the game, I texted a friend "WNY ERs be hoppin' with cardiac cases tonight".

Love Dan Orlovsky's reaction

They were having trouble getting plays in from the start. I LMAO when the announcers were touting the Dolphins great W-L record at home.

Agree https://www.buffalobills.com/team/depth-chart I know depth charts are grain-of-salt and updating them during the season isn't a team's priority but...ain't what this shows.

I'm looking at this asking "when did Baylon Spector jump solidly ahead of Dorian Williams on the LB depth chart?" My jaw dropped. I got to admit he seemed to play pretty well. Also, am I wrong but were they playing Spector in the middle? Did I hallucinate that?

I'm telling y'all, the NFL refs right now are exactly like my dog running around a croquet course, randomly picking up the ball and moving it somewhere else and it's not allowed to complain - because she's the 'Course Hazard'.

I got to agree. This board is pretty bad after a loss or when things are trending badly, but as much as our general football knowledge frustrates some of our best X's and O's guys here, FinHeaven makes us look like we all got football degrees. You seem to have read something into it. There are a lot of kinds of bias, but where did you go?

I absolutely think it's too long. 16 games is brutal on the players. I also think they should cut out Thursday games. They're brutal too. But the NFL is all about profit and player safety and well-being rank low and when it comes down to it, the NFLPA is diverted by $$ as well.

It doesn't matter when things are going right. But when things are going poorly, it matters.

Right here

The announcers commented on it and said that it was after the whistles were already blowing or some such and they gave him the furthest spot he achieved before the whistles. Which may have been true, but simply brings up the question of why the whistles were suffering from "premature ejeculation".

I think it did have a positive impact, and maybe more strongly than people think. Not because of profound changes in the scheme or personnel usage or anything like that, though I'm not sure Dorsey could or would have put that Dallas offensive game plan together and that was f*'ing brilliant (just in terms of Dallas DC sitting there going "Bills power run game mowing us down I did NOT have that on my bingo card". I think Dorsey had a particular way of coaching and interacting with Josh based on his "38-2" college career, and I don't think it was working, or if it was working, it was working negatively. I think it wound up with a "death spiral" of negativity. I mean, c'mon, we all saw it in the aftermath of Miami. I think Joe Brady has a different way of interacting with Josh and it's important when things go badly and need to get turned around.
