The ball was never “tucked away”.

I don’t care what still photos show…I’ve watched the replay multiple times and he never sufficiently controlled the ball and there no way that gets reversed. It would have wasted a crucial TO.

The league—and society in general—has a huge problem with risk assessment. It’s fine for players to risk death or heatstroke in 100 degree heat… meanwhile, they delay the Eagles/Commanders game for 8 minutes because there was a drone flying over the stadium….The announcers gravely intoned about what a serious threat it was to the safety of the fans and players…I could go on, but I don’t want to wind up in the penalty box again😄

I’ll bet Davis acknowledges that he should have held onto it, and he’d be right. There’s no way that was a catch.

That’s not the rule…you have to control the ball for more than a millisecond with both feet in and he never controlled the ball.

The challenge would have failed and the Bills would have had one less time out at the end. It would have been a terrible decision. I agree with you re Josh in the shotgun…

Funny, when I saw it live, it never occurred to me to challenge that play…just looked like a lousy drop by Davis.

I was not there yesterday, but I understand that the conditions in Miami weren’t out of the ordinary for South Florida in September. I can remember plenty of other early-season Bills games in Miami where heat was a serious factor. Why not just play the first game of the series in Buffalo every year? Or start the game at 4:30 instead of 1:00?

I’m terrified to see the injury list tomorrow…I think it will be worse than last week.

The NFL does not care about the safety or comfort of fans or players…

There is no excuse for it. None.

You’re missing the point: I’d be fine with fewer regular season home games in December/January in Buffalo. Nothing you can do about the playoffs…

That’s not what we’re talking about. The Bills play the Dolphins twice. There is no reason this game (as opposed to the week 18 game) had to be in Miami in September at 1:00. Why schedule games in extreme weather when it can easily be avoided?

They knew…

Miami’s offense (and Bills’ defense) wasn’t the problem today…

Maybe a little

Green Bay doesn’t seem to be having much trouble with the heat in Tampa…

I’m telling you, Herbert has a bad habit of coming up small, despite all his talent. He really should not be playing today, though…and Jacksonville is pretty good this year.

Josh’s first 25 or so throws were pretty much perfect…then guys started going down, he got less time to throw and I assume he started to feel the effects of the heat. I can’t imagine how exhausting it had to be for him to be running around all day behind that line, throwing 63 times in that heat. I’m actually surprised he was able to finish the game…

Inexcusable that the Chargers are letting Herbert play this week.

Completely agree. It makes no sense whatsoever. Shows total disregard for the players and the fans and there’s really no good reason for it.

I can’t get too worked up about it. It’s the Dolphins’ and Tua’s problem, not ours. He converted a 3rd and 22 against us, so how concussed could he have been.

Don’t think it can’t happen to Josh Allen, especially if we throw 50 times per game.

It was the best thing that could have happened for Miami. I almost think he did it on purpose. We should not have even rushed the punter.

What an absolute disaster
