Dallas better figure out how to stop RB1 in Miami. Lovely that Bills did NOT play into DAL D pass/speed strength

I am legit worried now that Miami is going to steamroll Dallas too. Dallas almost has to play a light box against Miami if Hill plays. And if they couldn’t stop our running game, they aren’t going to stop the dolphins’ running game.

I don’t recall one down field pass that wasn’t contested. Simply blanket coverage all around.
 

Side Note: Cam Lewis had a good game. Is he heir apparent for Hyde’s spot next year?

The fact this thread only has 11 pages 2.5 hours after the game shows that fans dont have anything to complain about (refs, playcalling, etc)

 

So I’ll complain. Wish Cook caught that TD cause he deserved it especially on that drive. 
 

This was such a good game because the coaches basically stuck to what worked and didn’t try to get tricky and make themselves look like the smartest guy in the stadium. Just kept running Cook. 

 

I was actually surprised not a single holding call was made all night. Feel like that is pretty much routine for us to see 2-3 a game
 

 

Didn’t Dallas have a holding call in the first quarter?

Then you didn't watch Thurman who was an MVP  and an incredible dual threat. OJ was strictly a runner

No one will convince, or unconvinced, another, but …

 

I saw OJ as far back as college.   He played in my first Bills game at the Rockpile.   He was the hero of my youth and among the greatest ever at RB.

 

Thurman Thomas is the best running back the Buffalo Bills ever had.

Was there any doubt in anyone’s mind that we would lose?

To transition to the first commercial break they played “Happy Hour Hero” by moe. I knew then that the script was written, and it was a Buffalo win for sure.

 

For those of you who are uncultured, moe. is a popular in the jam band scene. They formed while in undergrad at UB. They always rep Buffalo well on the road.

great point re Cam. Awesome game by him.  Seemed like he was shadowing Ferguson a lot.

McDefense….

 

Is all forgiven? Dallas has been putting up 40 every week and they couldn’t do anything…

A side note to the game for sure , but whoever chose the music for the commercial transitions for todays telecast on Fox gets an A+ from me. It was great the whole game.

I'm zero surprised that Cam Lewis played well. He usually shows well when given the opportunity.

 

Also he wouldn't be a staple of special teams if he wasn't a good football player.

 

I noticed he played deep safety most of the time but came up and played slot corner on several snaps. I love his versatility.

 

Cam is another player that our coaching staff trusts more than our fanbase.

I was fully expecting the Bills to win... but I absolutely did not envision this level of domination.

 

 

[Breakout Squad]

Pardon my laziness… do we want the Ravens or Jags to win?

[BananaB]

How’s our punter doing? He took a shot

This was undoubtedly a good omen

 

Was at the game, knew the game was a wrap when they had helicopters fly over

 

No other fly over gets the crowd as juiced as the helicopters

Exactly, thank you for saying this. I've been begging the Bills for years to take advantage of easy opportunities in the run game given to us by defenses selling out to stop Josh's right arm. There are wide open rushing lanes against every team we face because they're deathly afraid of us hitting a 40 yard pass.

Interesting point.  And Cook is the perfect complement for a dominant QB.  The last guy I remember running like Cook was LeVeon Bell, who just waited and waited until he saw the crease he needed.  Cook does that.  Bell had Ben; Cook has Josh.

I've defended cam here relentlessly over the years

 

Half the people on this board called him trash after he got mossed by Justin Jefferson last year

 

Kid is super versatile and a good tough player

The cowgirls fans are idiotic.

All week saying Josh is average...

And they still are saying it, 

Lol!

 

Let me guess: they’re claiming they “shut him down and held him to only 92 yards passing” while they got run over all day long lol

Hopefully they have Hankins back at DT. 
 

Also, Dallas isn’t “that” bad on run defense.  We just brutalized them. 
 

Miami’s OL isn’t as good as ours and Dallas doesn’t have to account for Tua read option runs. 
 

Miami home field isn’t Buffalo and hopefully Dallas Offense shows up.

You're right.  That was a special performance.   And no, Thurman didn't run like that.   

 

Cook's not OJ, because OJ was a threat to do it every week.  Still, that was special. 

OJ struggled until Saban came hereI
