Offense died in the second half. How do you not get in on the 1 yard line with Josh as qb. 

You go into shotgun and have him try to run from 5 yds out instead of under center and pick up half a yd that is automatic for almost all QB sneaks across the league

Why the ***** are you in shotgun on 2nd and goal from the ***** 1?

Totally agree, why would you not have Josh over center there and try to go over the top???

Yeah, this should knock a bunch of fans down a few notches.

 

How so?  We barely fielded half a team and the other half had heat exhaustion.  This game isnt knocking my attitude down at all.

Maybe we stop pretending the Dolphins are sooooo beneath us... 

 

The way fans talked all week, the Dolphins were a joke & we'd steamroll them. Yes, we were beat up & the heat took a toll, but they proved they can hang. Time to take them seriously.

they are who we thought they were and the Bills let ‘em off the hook. You wanna crown em, then crown their ass, but they are who we thought they were.

0-8 in one score games 2021 and 2022 now. There may be a game management issue here.

 

Would have been nice to have one extra time out. Not sure where we burned our first time out.

They missed their SB opportunity last year.  

I’m inclined to agree. AFC is too stacked this year. It’ll be a literal coin flip in the playoffs

2nd and goal on the 1… why are you lining your monster QB up in SHOTGUN!?!?  Fall forward 3 times please, stop trying to think outside the box. Embarrassing loss for the coaching staff.

Or pound the rock 3 times. Brutal

Who did the commentary on the broadcast. I hardly agreed with anything the guy said. Miami should take a safety there he thought?  Well hey, the whole team has experience in a big game now that's for sure

Maybe you can realize Bills were missing everyone on defense and had a practice squad center with 3rd string oline everywhere besides Dawkins 🤡

This was a one off game.  One cannot draw sound conclusions about the team given all the injuries and heat-related effects.

How is this on McDermott?

 

Umm, about 80% of the players cramped up. How did his dumb ass not have them prepared??

Yes. thats true about the Dolphins...

 

But the Bills should have won that game..  by 10 points actually...

 

Another terrible loss

My question is why is this team so snake bitten with injuries and how were they not prepared for the heat?   They play there every year and you know how to combat the heat with forcing fluids, cooling fans and rotating players.  Rotating was off due to the heat issues. 

You can be prepared for the heat, but when it's 90° with 90% humidity and you're on the field for 40 minutes of game time and extremely short-handed, you are going to wear down and become dehydrated and exhausted.

The field goal was a chicken ***** call either way… McD remains an awful game day coach.

I look forward to seeing you around here all week.

I bet Von really wishes he stayed in LA now.  Hat tip to Miami, they played lights out.

This. And unless we win by 20, we lose because we are at such a disadvantage from a coaching perspective 

[JerseyBills]

On a positive- we're clearly the better team, despite the score and with half our roster injured. 

Idk how you could watch that gm and think Mia was the better team.

Just too many mistakes to count.

We have zero running game. Maybe less than zero. We simply can not run when the defense knows we need to run in short yardage. That is a major problem. 

 

On top of that, for the most part we can't run between the 20's either. Josh Allen threw that ball into the dirt that could have won it probably in part because he is trying to run himself so much.

The rush 3 on 3rd and 22......have the coaches actually learned from the thirteen seconds debacle
