Lot of fans here in denial right now.  Miami was stellar today.  They can score at will.  Tua looked locked in with touch, accuracy and anticipation. 

 

We struggled against both Miami and Jets last year.  We better bring our A game this year. 

 

Miami picked up right where they left off....and then some. 

They’re exactly what they were last year to my eye. The Chargers continue to be a sieve on D.  Tua will not make it through a full season. Jets are a bigger problem for the Bills matchup wise imo.

God I wish we had kept him just a season longer 

So do I the Bengals D is very good against the pass but you can absolutely road grade them in the running game

With Armstead out. WTF. I'd want my money back

Certain teams are just soft, chargers are a great example of that. Outside of Von, We are too. I never feel like we play and hit hard. Our d line never gets to the qb when you think they have the advantage. It’s annoying.

Didn’t Miami lose their last 4 games or something like that? 

Picking up where they left off before Tua’s injuries. He was in the early MVP conversation. If he can stay healthy, look out.

The Dolphins only won because some idiot interfered with a receiver on a Hail Mary🤦‍♂️

 

What I saw today was a very confident QB in Tua and very dangerous weapons in Hill and Waddle. Throwing for 466 yards and 3 TD is no easy feat regardless of who you are playing, and the Chargers had a top 10 passing defense last season and a slightly below average scoring defense. It is very difficult to cover two speedy receivers in Hill and Waddle on the outside without leaving the middle of the field open - which is what doomed the Chargers. 

 

With a healthy Tua, the Dolphins are a very potent team. On the positive side, the Dolphins defense looked just as poor as last season, despite adding Vic Fangio, who is a known defensive mind. The defense may be their undoing.

 

The Patriots surprised me the most, and once again showcased how important quality coaching is. The Eagles took a quick 16-0 lead but Belichick made adjustments and the Patriots outscored the 2022 NFC Champion Eagles 20-9 over the final three quarters. I do not believe them to be a threat for the division, but I do believe they could play the role of a thorn in our side during portions of the season.

Mike White's ribs would beg to differ.

You’re right, they’re elite and toyed with a Charger defense that is known for shutting teams down in recent years. Tua is an incredible QB with an uncanny ability to avoid hits in his career thus far. The Bills may as well pack it in early and keep the golf clubs close at hand. 

You're right. I said all that.

Burrow can’t throw in the rain, but looked damn good against us in the snow. Also Myles Garrett is a beast.

To be fair it’s easy for good QBs to play pitch and catch against our soft D.

miami 3rd string almost beat the bills in the playoffs, the bills defense cant handle any of what we saw today

 

The Bills defense played 3 of the best 5 games against the Dolphins last year in terms of yardage, points per play, passing yardage etc.

Miami has a gonna be tough. Anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves. They have a ton of weapons and weapons can scheme to get guys the ball. 

[ColoradoBills]

Giants with a great drive and then 2 plays.................................

[Jon in Pasadena]

Oof.

[78thealltimegreat]

It seems the key to stopping Dabolls offense in NY is just let Daniel Jones go back to pass 

[Langeston]

Lol dammit…. That giants drive was looking so good

[BuffaloBillyG]

Sounds like more Dallas fans in Jersey than Giant fans. Dallas does trave well but surprising for a Giants team coming off a playoff run.
