HerdMentality Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) I guess the Bills are the 1st team in 50 years to demolish a #1 scoring defence like that! Let's keep it right here. Edited January 5, 2021 by HerdMentality
Penfield45 Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Some of these defensive rankings make no sense phins did not look like the #1 defense. Denver didn’t look good either even tho they had guys out

There is nothing to make sense of. The Dolphins were the best team at keeping other teams off the scoreboard. Except when playing the Bills.

I mean there IS a thread about it on Fin Heaven, but it wasn't started until today and the general consensus is that there's nothing wrong with the Bills scoring points. A bit of butt hurt over the bomb to Davis, but...they couldn't even stop the Bills' practice quad running back when they were running every damn down. The whole thing is a big nothingburger. Wasn't the bomb to Davis retaliation for Miami calling a time-out when the Bills just content to run out the clock? "Well, this was fun. Let's just get this over wi...wait. A time out? Really? You still want to play? Okay. Let's play." 1
Saxum Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Probably not retaliation, not Coach McD's style, but may have been thought of by Bills as opportunity for live practice. They gave the Bills a favor for some Bills players had opportunity to show what they had.

They were also the #1 3rd down defense if I recall correctly. Bottom line: the Bills are on absolute fire and we need four more games of this.

They're not power rankings, they're based on the actual stats of what these Ds have done.
Mr. K Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 The only things that could have made the game better wouldve been a healthy Beasley getting 1k, the touchdown record for different players to record a receptions td for a team in a season, and getting 3 more points somewhere to score 59 and set the franchise record for points in a game. 1

They were crying for Bills to take out starters (esp Allen) after the first freaking TD! Post second TD, it became biblical begging: rending of clothing, sheep slaughtering, etc. Enjoyable read actually. Its a guilty pleasure to read opposing fans message boards. Its brutal when we lose but boy oh boy when we win it like living the game all over again, watching their hopes rise and fall with each play even though you know whats coming.
TBBills Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 I am glad we could help Miami break some records.

I know you don't think our team is any good but it is. How do you think the Dolphins won 10 games? Hint: it wasnt because they have a good offense. It's because like the Bills in the past, their defense was really good at not letting the other team score. 1
