Really. Last year we split in the regular season and struggled against Skylar Thompson led offense in the playoffs. 

We did not struggle against a Skylar Thompson lead offense.  They were awful that day.

After 3 games, Miami is plus 59 in total point differential.

 

Buffalo is plus 56 in differential.

 

The two teams are basically even.  Don't be scared of them, and don't be cocky either.  Just play Bills football, but make it your best.

(1) press coverage, bump Hill off the line, bracket Hill with a CB (who bumps Hill) and safety help over the top.  

 

(2) pressure that comes from various places on Tua.  

 

(3) Groot and Lawson will need another good game of run stopping.  

 

Offense: 

 

(1) a WR other than Diggs needs to step up

 

(2) if we have a lead, run the ball.  Make MIA stop that, then play 2 TE sets to setup mid range passes and a few long passes thrown in.

I love basketball and appreciate that the best point guard doesn't have to score any points.  So far in three games, its hard to argue with T"ua the points guard's" results.  So the question is how should it be stopped.  

So far three professional NFL DC's did not have the answer.  I am sure I don't.  But I will start with a question/proposition:

I keep hearing how Tua is getting rid of the ball so quickly, that no pass rush can be effective.  If I assume that to be true, then why pass rush with more than 3 and just play 100% Dime.  The last thing Tua wants to do is run so we don't need to worry about that.  Seems like this might force Tua to wait for plays to develop, which is not what he seems to thrive.  Make Tua beat us deep. 

He averaged 201 yards a game last year against us.  I think the staff already knows the answer

Use Groot and Epenesa’s length in coverage underneath.  Pressure up the middle 

Maybe give groot some snaps in the middle too and focus on a quick blast against his guy, followed up by hands up. Tipped balls to jack up his timing and 2 LBs with a nose for ball

Hope you’re right. This is not the same dolphins as last year though

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not gonna be an easy task, but we’ve done well against them and it’s mostly the same team on offense especially.  
 

Keep in mind, they scored a ton vs Chargers and Broncos, two atrocious defenses.  They didn’t go off as much on the Pats, a tougher defense than those other 2.

 

Our defense is allowing just 9.6 pts per game right now.  
 

Miami scored only 20 when we were missing our entire starting secondary and interior D Line last year.  
 

I think Broncos game was so crazy because not only do they suck, but they were dealing with the he heat index.

I want Milano to put Tua on his backside next week 

[NewEra]

Put Terrel Bernard on Tyreek Hill in a box and 1, obv

Although most media and fans don’t see to agree.. I think this is a better Bills team too…

The problem isn’t running on 2nd and long. The problem is he chooses to run that draw from shotgun which has barely worked this year

[KOKBILLS]

One sure way to slow him down is long methodical drives on Offense that end in TDs...

 

Keep them off the field and wear their Defense out.

This may sound crazy, but…. Cover zero, play the corners close to the line, bump their receivers close to the LOS, take away the short yardage plays, delay the deep plays (even by an instant), rush five, and get to Tua as fast as ***** possible.  

In three games, Tua has only been sacked once (by Judon) He’s been waaay too comfortable. 

Cover 0 will be a big part of the game plan in red zone I think, perhaps even zone man combos on the bills side of the field

Floyd the Barber from the Andy Griffith Show.
