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

Teams that have records like the Jets.

And a lot of others.  In fact week to week it's pretty common for teams that are supposed to win their game to lose.

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.

You know a lot!

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

Yep. Sometimes they get the “yips”. Hopefully Bass gets out of his funk.

Close games between intra-division opponents who know each other well are the rule rather than the exception. Sure, we have blown them out several times, but many of these games have been just as close as well. Their D stopped us once all game on our first possession. Their offense is loaded with weapons so I’m not suprised they moved the ball like they did and I had a feeling going into the game the winner might be the last one with the ball. We dominated Miami on offense every bit as much as they did us. 

That's what I don't get. We just saw the ravens lose to the Browns. If we lost to the fins today people who think  we should be up in arms because we barely beat a lesser intra divisional rival and are silly. The Ravens just lost and the AFC North is proof that divisional games are a toss up no matter the record.

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

We are quick to disregard how brilliant McDorkdaniels is with offense. The guy finally had a good plan and stuck with it. They were toe to toe with us and outplayed us on offense. We shot ourselves in the foot too many times early. The interception (by the way, I hate that it's counted on Josh as an INT) notwithstanding as part of that belief they outplayed us, btw.

The formula for making the playoffs in the NFL typically looks something like beating the teams you should and playing .500 ball against good teams.

 

Our division has severely underperformed, which has worked to our benefit.  We'll see where we stack up in the coming weeks with some of the competition we have upcoming.

I never thought I’d say this but the disrespect for the tua dolphins is a bit annoying 🤣. That’s a tough matchup for a defense and they’re playing with their season on the line and it’s the second time they’ve seen us 

Especially being a divisional matchup which are always tough

Yep, just ask the Ravens after last weeks loss to a one win Browns team.

Is Bass's 61 yard field goal the longest in franchise history?

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

Of course they have weaknesses, every team does, but you seem to be part of the group that looks for style wins, not just wins. If you want style wins, college football is more up your alley.

I stated this earlier, let me do it again. The Chiefs have won 3 Super Bowls barely winning games that they should’ve easily won. The point is they win them. Get the win, move on to the next week. The Bills have real issues stopping the run, that has to be addressed, but playing the game of “well they won’t beat (fill in the blank) playing like that” or things similar to that are ingenuous statements

Yep.

 

Previous record was 59 yards by Steve Christie in 1993.

Nice to see Mack Hollins have a great game. So far, this was the best he looked in a Bills uniform. Hope Hollins can develop some consistency.

Yep, it’s a franchise record.  He got all of that one.  It looked like it may have been good from 70.

Look at his 22 stats

There is one thing which makes it - imported dog dung like Jonnu Smith.

What is this "style wins" stuff?

 

I'm concerned because our Dline got pushed up and down the field today. No part of that has anything to do with that and considering the same thing happened against Baltimore, who we could very well meet against in the post season, saying we shouldn't talk about it is crazy.

Bills are still inconsistent. Players. Coaches. Even the qb. Allen played awesome entire game and had a pretty horrid 2 min drive. The offense got bailed out big time / still reliant on 3rd down penalty conversions, not just this game but a lot of games. They should have eviscerated the short handed Miami D. I’m fine with dink and dunk O against good D. This Mia D is trash. This coach and his OC buddy from William and Mary have neutered this Josh Allen high flying offense. And this coach still bungles game day after game day management decisions. 
 

This is what there game plan was ? This is the same game they played vs the ravens. And got embarrassed. Only this time they were at home vs a bad team who had half their starting D injured

 

Allen 25/39 at 6 yards per. Samuel 1 target no catches. 
 

They’re not gonna face a worse D all year minus the pats.

Absolutely.

 

Divisional games are always tough, across the entire league.

 

And no matter what, I'm always happy with a win against the Dolphins. Especially when it means we SWEPT the Dolphins this year.

 

But that doesnt mean I dont have anything to say about that HORRIBLE challenge by McDermott on Tua's 4th down run. WTF is this dude doing out there?
