Oh I know, your phrasing made it sound like they didn't just do the thing that you described. They realistically could have put up potentially 50 against the Dolphins today. 

Yea agreed without those Turnovers this just isn’t a game.

 

But the Bills do struggle woth protection, and long term if you struggle with that, you turn the ball over

Which McD? Ours or theirs?

 

If ours, I agree. He will never win the AFCCG or SB IMO. He just doesn't have it when it really matters in very high pressure critical playoff situations. He sucks at timeouts, challenges and lets his OC and QB play stupid.

 

Allen also has an ego about him, he will give his "I need to play better" quotes after the game but then go right back out next time and do the same stupid crap.  He is who he is by now, he's not changing. 

Yup I meant ours. Theirs might not have made every single great call but they took us to the edge in the playoffs in his first season with a nobody QB on the road vs a coach that’s in year 6 of his plan. 
 

That’s just ugly.

It made me smile to see Beasley in the endzone and that catch and run over the middle was very nice!

Josh had one turnover on him….the fumble. But John Brown and Beasley are responsible for the other two. 

It's the consecutive deep shots that get us behind the sticks that bothers me. We need to go into dink and dunk mode sometimes.

[ngbills]

Thanks for the win.

 

But the crappy showing cos me some good money. Even lost my 3rd quarter bills -3.5 bet.

Wait - my kid did simulate it on madden with Tua playing this morning and bills won 35-21. Egregious! 

Hey, then rejoice… then feel relief all over again.

Bills might be home underdogs next week the way they played today... A win is a win I guess. Certainly know one will be overconfident next week..   

No way. Bills a -1.5 with Cincy at home.
 

The spreads have been way way off on Bills games this whole year. I thought the spread on this game was out of control. 
 

I put my money on Miami to cover and it payed. That’s how much faith I had in the Bills.  Knew they weren’t covering that.

Bills play like this vs the Bengals it’ll be a long game.

Someone rolled their eye at your comment as if you are wrong lol. I love it. 

[UKBillFan]

Sky Sports on the game: It was like a really good rollercoaster. You had moments of excitement, moments of feeling sick but you get off and think "Wow, that was an excellent experience".

 

Safe to say the presenter is not a Bills or Dolphins fan! 😁 Though I'm not sure who he supports.

[Big Blitz]

I’ll just say this - everyone’s worst case doom

and gloom how does this keep happening to us version of the Bills would have lost this game. 
 

We didn’t.  We won.  Take from that whatever you want.  I didn’t expect this game to be easy.  The Dolphins were only in this game because of Allen’s fumble and a bad break Shakir drop.  
 

 

Breaking out the Makers Mark - enjoying the rest of this stress free football evening and another playoff victory in the Allen era.

To be far this win against Miami is very satisfying know they felt they had a chance, only to ***** it away and send them home with a moral victory. 

 

Unfortunately for them moral victories don't count in the post season😂😂😂

and here i was thinking i may never smile again lollllllllllllllll

Eh I’ve seen some overmatched Bills team give the Brady led Pats some great games over the years…….hell I’ve seen some terrible Miami teams do the same!

I know but it’s so damn frustrating to watch

[Norcalbillsfan]

My take aways:

 

Dolphins deserve respect, we are a superior team in almost every way and they played tough. But the bills beat the bills while the Dolphins watched today.

 

Every team is now going to blitz the living ***** out to the bills.

 

Was there no adjustment for the blitz? Or was it the Dolphins knowing the bills WRs will change routes based on leverage and were willing to give the deep shot leverage and bait josh into deep ball shots all game knowing saffold is a revolving door? Or was josh refusing to check the ball down? 

 

From now on just give opposing teams the first if it's 3rd and long, no point in trying.

 

If anyone wants to get even more angry, watch saffold every play. There's times he's standing knees locked looking around lost while josh is running for his life.

 

On the bright side this team didn't fold when EVERYTHING was going wrong. They stuck out another gross win and stayed relatively healthy.

[TwistofFate]

I'll take the DUBS anyway I can, but this game was exactly what I thought it would be.

If Allen would stick with it and not get antsy to take a shot... he's be the best QB in the league. The deep shots are killing this team. They seem to outright refuse to throw a pass less than ten yards at times. 

[Matt_In_NH]

Bills mafia was incredible.  Nthwt took all of miamis timeouts in the second half and got some penalties

[Roundybout]

I need a shower after watching that game. I feel dirty.

I think everyone who watches football can see this. I just don't think Allen really cares.

You are correct…When you have nearly 400 yards offense in what would be a supposed C/B- game I don’t think he cares about checkdowns.
