What is your biggest concern going into the Miami game?

[mead107]

I may miss opening kickoff of game as I will be in Boston watching the Red Soxs game.

I went with being outcoached because I thought that was far and away the biggest issue in the NE game. I don't think that Miami's coaching staff is that good but it is more about the Bills approach to me. If the Bills cannot find a way to generate pressure like they did last year this team is in trouble. Since it is mostly the same guys I am pointing to scheme.

I suspect my biggest concern is that they give up on the run too quickly. Ground and Pound is a good solid philosophy and I think we have evidence that we have the horses to provide it. Our offensive line is better run-blocking than pass-blocking. Put an effective run game on the agenda early and often and it will loosen up the pass game.

 

Defense has to adjust to the fact that quick-release is the lesson other teams learned from New England (although none of them have a Brady to be as effective as he was) and adjust to that.

 

Cut down on the penalties.

 

None of these things are a stretch for this team. I see us winning this game.

Taylor. He is gonna see what he saw last week until he can beat it.

 

As for the idea that teams now have a blueprint to beat our D, does that include borrowing Brady from the Pats**** to play against us?

 

GO BILS!!!

I honestly have no idea why Ryan stayed with that lame dropping in to coverage the entire game. Jerry Hughes on Gronk, and Kyle Williams dropping into coverage...

 

 

I seriously doubt he will be foolish enough to think that Tallywacker is as big a threat as Brady and not blitz. Then knowing that the Dolphins O line could be missing Brandon Albert,and their TE's Cameron, Sims are not 100%. Then more good news is Cameron Wake had a hamstring issue, and RB Lamar Miller has had a bad ankle.

 

I look for the Bills defense to go nuts on the Phins QB just like they did against Luck.

 

I'm more concerned about the Bills getting their run game going to help out Taylor.

The biggest variable is TT's performance. Miami has nothing approaching elite at any position on their offense and their defense appears to have been highly overrated. If TT can sustain drives and protect the ball I think this will be a sure win.

Jarvis Landry definitely falls into the "approaching elite " category. Suh going rogue on his D co-ordinator doesn't really lend itself to any belief in their system on that end. I'd worry about the Bills vaunted Dline getting pressure on Tannehill, but I think Kyle Williams will kill someone on the line if he sees a performance like last week.

[The Wiz]

Penalties but Miami has been pretty bad in that department as well.

I don't know that I'd say that.

 

He did well to have 84 catches (which put him tied for 17th in the NFL), but he had one of the lowest yards/catch in the NFL (9.0, which put him 118th among players with at least 1.875 receptions per games played). He also found the end zone only 5 times on those 84 catches.

 

He's a nice player, but I wouldn't say he's anywhere near the top 5 WRs in the league (which I define as "elite")...he's probably more like top 30 right now.

i still think some of the penalties on Buffalo were BS. The one on Dixon when he almost blocked the punt, etc.

[SRQ_BillsFan]

My biggest concern is simply that we might LOSE!!

Agreed. Comes with the territory for playing on the bills though.

[John from Riverside]

My concern is that TT overthinks all the undue scrutiny of the pats game and to appease everyone starts throwing the ball into tight coverage and either refusing to leave the pocket and stepping up so he can get mauled by Suh or he leaves the pocket too much and takes undue hits......

 

Tyrod.....just be Tyrod please and dont listen to what the armchair qbs are sayin (hopefully he doesnt read us anyway)

My other main concern is coming out flat. The Bills treated last week like the Super Bowl. They put so much energy and emotion into that game (as reflected by the penalties). Can they rebound, focus and get back to work this week or will they come out a little flat?

[YoloinOhio]

Agreed. Comes with the territory for playing on the bills though.

yes and when they picked up the flag after TT was hit after sliding. You know that would never have happened if it was Brady. It's not sour grapes, I'm sure we got away with some too, it just pisses me off when things are so inconsistent. They threw the flag for a reason. To pick it up after the fact is BS.

I don't think the NE defense is really all that good as they are currently ranked behind Buffalo at 31st. Then if NE can shut down the Bills O for three quarters by stacking the box with nine, ten defenders with Wake, and Suh. It could be really rough going for Buffalo if they don't figure out a way to move the ball against a stacked box.

 

Penalties on Buffalo again.

 

The heat in the 4th quarter 88+ degrees with 75% humidity wearing out the players. It used to be back in the late 80's-early 90's with Rusty Jones the Bills players looked in more shape then the Dolphins were.

 

We will see this game.

All this!

[Chandler#81]

I'm concerned about being 1-2

Not elite if he can't average more per catch than he has

[LeGOATski]

Interior pass protection.

[Dave in Avon Lake now]

I originally thought turnovers, but penalties are way too prevalent with this team so far this year. I think we can run the ball and do the short quick passes to keep their defense off balance. We have to be more disciplined on defense and avoid costly pass interference and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.

 

It should be a close game. Let's hope Carpenter can make his extra points this week.

[die hard bills fan]

no concerns, bills win big.
