Receivers really letting Allen down.

 

- Brown not adjusting to the deep ball

- Shakir drop

- Knox drop

- Beasley bouncing one off his chest to the other team

I think it’s evident we probably need to use a 1st round pick on WR or have a big signing

It's really hard to win a Super Bowl. Even one bad quarter in the playoffs can ruin it. Luckily ours was against a mediocre team.

 

This team will play much cleaner against Cincy or KC but you gotta get there first

John Brown has been near both INTs. He has never been good when the ball isn’t right on him. He never bails out the QB.

We need to examine why Josh has become a turnover machine. I have to think it is related to the OC.

Expand  

it is weird, this year has definitely been an anomaly for that

Last time I checked Frazier doesn’t coach offense or special teams

I hated that throw to Beasley. Forced it in there.

Shakir doesn’t drop the ball in first half, totally different outlook heading into the 2nd half.  Not making excuses, but that’s the turning point for me

and the Knox "touchdown" catch

We are not. He has been pressured and hit plenty they put the stats up on the screen. The 3rd and 19 was a bad play, we screwed the pooch, sure.

 

The Dolphins have drives of 38, 23, 13 & 18 and they have 17 points. That is NOT on the defense. It is on the holes they have been put in.

Expand  

You don't give up 2 third and 15 plus and call that good defense

I'm not sure either of today's can be blamed on him - particularly the second.

Is it Dorsey or Allen? Probably 50/50

Expand  

Maybe so but someone should have been told Allen it’s ok to throw to the running back. And I’m sure they have …  I mean what was the last clean game we played. That everything didn’t look so hard or so many turnovers.

We are a 2nd half team and have been all season...this is where Allen elevates his game and we pull away

Expand  

No we haven’t. Have you forgotten that stretch this year where the offense put points on the board but failed to score TD’s in the second half?

there are early in the play and then Allen takes off out of the pocket and everybody else takes off for the goalline

no, but i don't blame the defense for what's happened.  it's ***** execution all around, (defense very included).

Agreed. Its all around.

Huh???? The fish had 3 drives start in Buffalo’s half and they gave up 1 TD

Expand  

 

Yep. 38, 23, 18, 13.... and they have 17 points of those 4 drives. There is no way on earth that can be on the defense.

[Thrivefourfive]

This game going to over when? 5:30pm EST

[Livinginthepast]

Im sitting here in a simmering cauldron of rage. The Bills havent played badly per se  but have stumbled in the worst case scenario of letting the Dolphins off the hook. The Shawkir drop, the non hold call on the Beasley INT. The Josh underthrow on the other INT..... seriously WTF.

Coaching isn't responsible for 3 drops that caused like a 14 point swing.

Expand  

How do you waste your last timeout there? That’s a huge mistake

Expand  

Because they’re fighting pressure. You do that by punishing them, and you do that with Intermediate + long balls.
 

Throwing short and getting hit is what the dolphins want you to do. 

 

Offensive game plan has been almost perfect. But Brown needs to run into the open post and Beasley needs to use his hands to catch on those curls under pressure

They are making the plays. You have to give them credit. 

Expand  

We’re missing tackles, dropping passes, and making mental errors. We should be absolutely blowing them out.. but instead we continue to give them the ball in scoring position.
