You know the Bills won right?  Who cares how they won or by how much, just win the game

I never knew it was illegal to discuss apparent weaknesses in this team, but thanks for letting me know.

Yea it’s all moot at this point.  Their season is over.  2-6 and they have aging Hill and Ramsey on bloated deals.  They have a rough future

Oh yea can’t argue there haha if the jets and dolphins split they’re both 100% done.  They almost have to collude so one has a chance at a wildcard at this point 🤣

I don't agree. I think they were playoff caliber. Not necessarily super bowl contenders, but I think they were good enough to make the playoffs as a wild card team.

 

Last year they had a playoff caliber roster. But after letting so many decent draft picks walk, and a lot of them being in the trenches, so they could further invest in Tua, Hill, and Waddle - they started this year the 3rd best roster in the Division alone.

Love it when we don’t bring our A-game, and the other team brings their A+ game…and we still win.

bye fish….

Barely beating a pathetic team like thr Dolphins doesn't give me much hope about our chances to win what matters...but...a win is a win? Ugh. Feels like loser talk.

I honestly assume you are too young to remember the drought but we were losing game slime this to really good teams all the time 10 years ago. Good teams find a way to win, bad teams don't. 

[boyst]

I will be honest, I respect with the dolphins brought today. I would not want to play them a third time right now.

Oh I didn't realize my post was stating that Allen isn't a good QB. JOSH ALLEN IS PERFECT AND HAS NO WEAKNESSES TO ADDRESS, NONE...NONE!!! 

 

Better? 🙄🙄

 Judas Priest if you can't take the heat for a bad take don't throw it out there that it drives you crazy when Allen throws off this back foot when under pressure.  You post this critique on a day when by any objective standard Allen was elite.

Excellent win. Bills had bad mistakes at horrible times and got some of the worst holding penalties at pivotal times. But still pulled out a win against a divisional opponent. Divisional games are tough, im honestly worried about the patriots late season. But I think winning this way was actually better for morale, you could tell in the locker room the entire team was juiced it was bass that won it.

 

Not to mention I would say the sb favorite chiefs have had at least 3 a "wins a win" games and still sb favorites

Legitimately that was the best I've seen the Dolphins play is in the McDaniel era. Achane is going to haunt us for years. Tua missed 3 total passes. They were dialed in and hitting hard and not allowing anything deep. McDaniel didn't forget that he has a run game.

 

And even with some incredible refball they still came up short

Yeah like I said - haters - they smell an oppty with any miscue to get some jabs in then disappear when Josh goes back to his normal elite level of play

I don't get any criticism of Allen after today's game.  The guy had 2 TD passes dropped; was hit with an INT that had nothing to do with him and then had a fantastic 25 yard TD run nullified by a ticky tack holding call.  And in spite of this he threw for 3 TD's including an amazing 3rd TD pas in which this is what it looked like as he released the ball:

 

 

Allen was elite today.

For the degenerate gamblers out there. Imagine being on the receiving end of this L?

A game we are supposed to win and were favored to win at home.

And how many times in a given NFL season do teams lose games "they are supposed to win"? 

[wjag]

All I know is the Bills won,

Miami lost,

Bills held Tyrek under 100 yards again,

Shakir is as slippery as an eel,

Poyer giveth and taketh on same play,

Bass had a redemption moment,

Von Miller is a ghost of himself,

Elam is not Benford,

Keon's loss is ENORMOUS,

Ray Davis is a battering ram and should have been used more,

Williams plays fast and hits hard,

and Josh Allen is a freakin warrior.

McDermott has a lot of trust in Bass because if Bass missed the kick badly Miami can get a few yards from the kick spot and kick their own. That kick was truly big time

Kickers are like golfers. Maybe that gets him out of his negative headspace and he can go back to just ripping it.
