And why more commercials when this game is already at 3:40! Brutally long game.

[flamingred89]

How do you get a delay of game on a 4th and 1 with the game on the line. Rookie QB or not there is no excuse

[Mathgod]

Right, I forgot about the 2m warning.

As a dolphin fan, painful to watch. Bills are highly overrated, bills didn’t beat Miami, Miami beat Miami.

Bills should be concerned, skylar Thompson almost beat them

Bills almost lost to the Bills. Dolphins got gifted almost all of their points, they were terrible.

That was horrendous clock and huddle management by McDaniel all quarter, like that might get him fired

However you want to look at it, the bills looked brutal again today.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I almost want to say the Bills should kneel and not even risk a fumble. Unlikely to get a first, mitigate the risk.

It should get him fired. Inexcusable. You have a rookie QB, the play should be coming in early. Not making subs with 11 seconds on the play clock

[SuperMatt18]

That last play was weird, the line judge clearly had the right spot and had it short...who called it a first down?

[Senator Clay Davis]

McDaniel had a terrible game, bad play calls, bad clock management, just unacceptable at the NFL level. Bills did everything they could to give it away, they will not win another game playing like that, but the good news for them is there is no carryover into next week. If they hit their high end and avoid the self-destruction stuff they are still an excellent team. Credit to the Dolphins heart, they gave it their all, but they were not very good.

Sure, but we've seen this kind of thing all season long. Bills klutzing their way into losses or near-losses. Even in the cancelled game they were down 7-3 and the Bengals were marching. I wouldn't be feeling great about my team right now (nor their SB chances) if I were a Bills fan.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I mean based off how he handled the game from a clock management side of things, I'm gonna say this was weed.

Buffalo did not deserve that and if Tua played it’s probably a comfortable Dolphins win. This will not cut it against (presumably) Cincy.

[OutOfTheCube]

Yeah, not thrilled with how they won but they still pulled it off. They won’t next week against Cincinnati if they play like that obviously.

With how this season has gone I figured they were due at least one weird stinker in the playoffs, the hope was that it came early against an opponent they could get away with it against. If you pull it twice, you don’t deserve to win a Super Bowl anyways.

The Bills could be 17-0 with every win by 40 and their fans wouldn't feel great about things lol. Nature of being a Bills fan and all that. But think of everything it took going wrong today for them, and they still won. No doubt they'll get smoked by the Bengals playing the same, but if they play clean next week they could beat the Bengals, and maybe easily. I honestly think the big lead + Miami's practice squad QB lulled them to sleep, they'll be more focused against the Bengals.

The yellow first down line was off. It looked like a first down based on the position of the stick.

You may be overstating this a tiny bit.
Bills a 13-3 team who beat KC in KC and had 1st in AFC in their control going into Cincy game.
Cincy and KC are great teams. As a Bills fan I look forward to a/these matchups

[Senator Clay Davis]

And we see it in the playoffs all the time, a team struggles one week and looks great the next week. Win and advance is all that matters. It was a complete ####show, but it doesn't matter how you win, just win.

[Mathgod]

The Vikings are just like the Oilers. Jefferson is their McJesus and they really are an awful team propped up by 1 or 2 players.
