Tricks and Treats: Halloween Phins at Bills, Postgame Thread

[Steptide]

Today's game is a good example of why I don't think being the 1 seed is the most important. I truly believe teams can lose a little bit of their MOJO during time off

I thought Sean definitely brought his B-game today.

yeah, what was the deal with not challenging the early Tua knee down/sack, and then we really misused our TO’s at the end of the game. I didn’t even like the use of our last TO before the kick, because now you have no challenges and it also assumes Bass was going to make that kick— we may have needed the TO.

Yes to all that.

Going for it on 4th and 6 right before the half was inexcusably stupid as well.

The classy guys at Finheaven are currently wishing for a career ending injury to Josh Allen so they must be particularly pissed this week.

 

Seriously, I've never seen so many messages wishing for a serious injury on another player, not even Brady which is pretty amazing.

If any of them happen to be over here right now, I'd just like to say ***** Miami.

[YoloinOhio]

Josh’s wave at the end to the Miami D… did he see this earlier perhaps?

Bills need to get back on track. New England is not bad, and the Jets may have something with the QB change (they have now beaten Tennessee and Cincy).

[JohninMinn.]

Not having a running game might bite us in the ass down the road. We have two good backs here in Minnesota with a marginal O line. A good ground game keeps coaches honest. Let's hit that trade button.

Once again the Bills couldn't run the ball worth squat. Allen was the only running back the Bills had.  Thats why Dolphins defense looked good for 2/3 of the game, they didn't have to worry about the run at all.

Yeah at 5-2 the season is really getting away from us. 🤦‍♂️

Remember the days when we were happy with a win. Now it’s all about style points.

We’ve already had a couple of these games, I don’t think we need anymore

I don't know, people seemed worried we didn't have enough tough games on the schedule, team finds a solution and now everyone's complaining.

My random game afterthoughts:

 

1. The way the Fins use Waddle is boarderline criminal. He really doesn't fit that offense with Tia.

 

2. Josh was excellent on the 2nd half. However one pet peeve I have of this is he needs to play football and not worry about pointing out flags mid play. Hate when Brady does it. Hate when Mahomes does it. Just play.

 

3. I liked what Sweeney did late on the game. I believe I get why the staff was so willing to wait for him to bloom a bit. 

 

3. Gabe Davis should have the nickname "Cowbell"...because we need more Davis. 

 

4. Can we trade Feliciano for Bobby Hart? Or would that be too much of a lateral move? 

 

6. Seems that QBs these days just get the ball out ways too fast to be as heavily invested in a d-line rotation as we are.

 

7. For the love of all things holy...can we please shred all Daboll's little cute trick plays? 

 

8. Josh is, in my opinion way more responsible for the Bills offensive success that Daboll is.

 

9. Edmunds and Milano can lay the lumber out there.

Maybe your on to something. Let’s come up with a crap game plan and see if we can still when. Check. Next week we let the offense play but the d has run prevent all game and still hold them to field goals only.

I am not sure what Daboll saw that made him think we need to throw the majority of passes behind it at the line of scrimmage. It was until we started going downfield that the o did anything. Felt like we had to protect a qb that can’t throw vs the worlds best secondary.

It's almost as if people do not realize that winning in the NFL is VERY hard. You take them any way you can get them!

Sh*tty grazer helmets made the offense look like the 1971 offense that lost 28-23 to the St. Louis Cardinals 50 years ago today.

 

Throw them away........not back. 

 

And Marcus disagrees.

 

We are allowed our opinions and I am all for nostalgia, but how does it not look like this?
