Knew that fumbled snap before half would haunt us. So hard being a Miami fan

 

[tbonezone]

what ever happen to the HI-SPEED lake ontario ferries ? do they still run ?

 

[NineOneSeven]

Take the win but some clear things to work on if we want to contend for a title

I love Josh Allen so much

The Titans are going to be such an annoying thorn in our side all year if we’re trying to get this 1 seed.

What a frustrating game, picked it up in the 2nd half but they're fortunate Miami stinks.

Thought Oliver had a fantastic game and was one of the few bright spots, though wish he got the fumble at the end

I'll get slayed for this, but this year's team hasn't been fun to watch (at least for me) so far.

I'll gladly take boring, sloppy wins over exciting losses, but the way that the team has played so far this year doesn't scream "legitimate Lombardi contender".

it doesn't help that the Titans have a proverbial horseshoe up their ass in late game/OT situations

Few thoughts:

1. baffled that we're so bad in 3rd & 4th and 1 downs. Moss got stuffed on 1 today, and on another, only a vintage Josh Allen effort bailed us out.
2. Feliciano was so bad today that Devito's dad was complaining about him.
3. Tied to #2 above, the IOL was brutal
4. I'd be happy if Singletary got <5 touches per week. Seems that every time he gets a touch on 1st down, we're in a 2nd and long situation.
5. On the 4th down conversion to Gesicki, the Miami RT popped Addison or Hughes' helmet off with a shot to the facemark/chin. How was this not called?
6. I fear that this crap schedule we have may ultimately be our undoing. We are not at all battle tested.

I'm not really here for the Daboll bitching. This is what coasting w/ an easy schedule stretch looks like imo. No need for the A grade stuff; when needed to score we did. As long as we get out healthy I'm good.
I do think the OL concerns are valid. Not great. Why trading up is bad vol 8,001: Ford, Cody.

Poyer with 10 solo tackles today.

All of our problems on offense stem from the two Guard positions. When Daryl Williams kicks inside, make that one Guard position.

However, when Williams kicks inside, Brown is at RT. Rookie with a lot of talent, but still a rookie.

Feliciano and Boettger are backup level players and Ford has apparently become unplayable.

Also, Morse is a pass pro Center who struggles in run blocking.

Add all of that together and we have an OL that struggles in short yardage, and when they give up pressure, it’s typically through the interior of the line.

If we could run with a RB in short yardage and Allen had more time to scan the intermediate to deep routes, with these WR’s, our Offense would be unstoppable.

We’re not a dink/dunk offense, but we’re going to have to be in some games, at least for a period of time, and pick our shots - instead of Allen going through a built in deep read on almost every play.

OL’s can get better with continuity, but these guys have known each other for a while and the same issues are the same issues. If we don’t make a trade, have to hope Brown continues to improve with experience and Dion gets back to his usual ability pre-covid hospitalization. Those are the two spots I can see definitely improving as the season goes on.

Flying down to Jax tomorrow. Wish the weather wasn't crap.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Buffalo Bills out at least three starters against Jacksonville Jaguars

Spencer Brown, Jon Feliciano, and Dawson Knox will miss the game

Less then stellar news on Brown

 

[samspann1]

Trubisky on the COVID list. This could get really sticky...

 

[NineOneSeven]

Unbelievably stupid 15 yard penalties impacting points this half.

 

[Orangeman]

Offense is really kinda below average now, too bad.

 

[JeremyCuse]

O line continues to struggle immensely and we clearly miss Knox, we have zero depth behind him. Gotta get Diggs going

 

[NineOneSeven]

Blitz him!

 

[pattycuse]

NFL's usual officiating, combined with the Bills sleepwalking, is making this one maddening to watch
