The Secondary after losing Douglas for the game

[SageAgainstTheMachine]

Benford - INT, handled Hill well

Rapp - Game sealing INT

Hyde - Punch out on Hill to force incompletion and punt

Poyer - Lays the lumber to set up a 3rd down

Jackson - Huge tackle on Berrios to force punt, good coverage in spot duty

T. Johnson - Big TFL, great in run support

 

The Harty TD was the turning point and Josh won the game in the 4th quarter but man it was this veteran secondary that gave Tua fits when our pressure wasn't even getting home.  Miami ran 17 plays in the second half total and got two first downs.  Two!

Bills defense made adjustments which helped.  Miami injuries did not help them.

Can we give credit to McDermott or is he still fired ?

Sabbatical in Carolina. 

[Maine-iac]

If Dane was 6'1" 200 pounds he'd be a starter.  He's a good player to having coming in when you need someone.

[BBFL]

Spector, for not even playing 10 snaps this year played well after replacing Dodson. Maybe we can hope that continues if he has to play Sunday.

I want Douglas back ASAP, but credit to McDermott to scheming to make it work

Jackson had a big 3rd down pass defended on Miami's second last possession

IMO, McD would have to record two consecutive losing seasons before the Bills would even consider firing him.....Pegula likes him, and he's turned this dead-end franchise into a perennial playoff participant....I think he's earned a longer leash with management than he has with the fans.

He's been a revelation.  Really hurt to see him go out!

I’m backnn be on his support train

 

he got them back - I’m proud of him and have his back again

The secondary has been out of this world for weeks now and doesn't get near enough credit for how good this defense has been

We can survive Pitt without him I think but need him back after that.

game shouldn't have been close, just like last years game in Miami shouldn't have. Bills dominated and kept the Fins in it by idiotic mistakes.

It all depends on how he does in the Playoffs.  If they have an early exit, there will be mumblings in One Bills Drive

Was there any word on Douglas's injury after the game?

Getting hunt back seemed to really stabilize their oline and they had armstead playing which is kind of lucky for them at this point 😂. The defensive injuries seemed to hurt them a lot more than the offense I think.  their offense is just getting figured out by the better DCs

well this certainly makes me feel like it’s probably not serious (fingers crossed)

 

It was definitely kind of interesting how Rasul was the only injured player (besides Dawkins who returned) that was never actually ruled “out”.

 

This is great because he was the most important injured player by far.  Followed by Dodson, but there’s a decent drop from Rasul to Dodson imo.

 

Gabe I’m not even worried about hate to say it. Too many big moments this year where Allen bets on Davis and they just aren’t on the same page at all.  All I know is I didn’t see that stuff happening once Davis checked out.

I'd say the same thing to the guy starting in front of me.  LOL.
