Yup and as soon as the CB throws off the timing, Tua is lost. I still think Tua is bad post snap at reading coverages and leverage. He throws the ball quick where McDaniel tells him too. 

 

Quite so, he's One Read Tua. It this offense he doesn't do NFL progressions nor read leverages for route trees. The play is designed to get the receiver to a spot at a certain time and the ball is expected to be there. Tua's job is to throw to that spot, his first read, no matter what the coverage dictates, or even if the receiver is there or not. I'm surprised he wasn't solved sooner, because he really looks like a raw rookie if he doesn't make that One Read throw in rhythm. Maybe they're just saving the Second Read for key games, like the Bills.

 

That said, the Dolphins adjustment in the 2nd half against the Chargers was, if they're going to play man, then if the first read isn't there pull it down and run, since most of the DB's will have their back to you. It was somewhat effective but not like Josh Allen with his "if they run it back with straight-up man cover again I'm running for a 40-yard touchdown" stuff vs Denver.

232 yards of Offense gives you about a 5% chance of winning a playoff game 

If you plug all of the factors of yesterday's game into the equation, that number changes drastically.

I will question McDermott on some things but the development of CBs isn’t one of them. Trusting the process on this. 

 

What McDermott actually said: "I got ninety-nine problems but a b... CB ain't one."

How will he manage his eyeglasses in a snowstorm? If he wears contacts, will he still look as smart and edgy as the media slurps him to be? Are those glasses even real?!

He wears them to look more grown up.

Yeah, play zone.  
 

i guess getting RG the playbook on draft day didn’t help with his technique

I’m curious if he’s going off script a bit to make up for his deficiencies in zone and the staff doesn’t like it. It’s certainly not a discipline issue, but they might also be saying “you have to be better at what we’re doing, and if you aren’t going to do what we’re doing with playing time, we’ll play somebody who does”

He does that and Milano might actually shatter the glass he's made out of.

Can’t believe there were 65,000 no shows for that game.  Was it too cold and windy?  Did they have the sniffles and a fever and feel sick?

Aren't the Bills like 2nd worst in the league with regard to dropped passes?

Seems like they took a similar approach with Espinosa.  He didn't get a lot of playing time his rookie year but has quietly emerged as one of the Bills better D-linemen.

On the subject of CB, the one that came to mind was Tre White, and I was curious as to what others thought.  I noticed him getting beat a lot yesterday, looked slower and did not look to be back to his previous version. Defense done a great job either way

They said it was his first game playing 100% of snaps so it was a mixed bag but they believe he will continue to improve down the stretch

There is a thread here somewhere- Bills are now #1 in dropped passes.  Green Bay was number one, but they had a bye.  They had 2 more dropped passes.  But Bills had 5 or 7 dropped passes Sunday, and blew by GB to #1

I thought I saw that yesterday, maybe in the GDT?

Uh no he hasn't. He got beat out by Lawson for a starting job (which is fine by me because I think Lawson is a good player).  He played a decent game yesterday but he has been invisible most of the year.

Any questions to Frazier on how the D is consistently struggling to get stops on 3rd and long. It’s beyond maddening.
