Buffalo Bills Deliver on Time Late
It’s tough to beat the Dolphins when they don’t obey officials. The Buffalo Bills did as told. Such limitations led to them passing for 139 yards and holding the ball for a measly 23:41. Congratulations to Miami on their granted wish.
Bills fans are glad their favorites contributed to another uncompetitive Thursday Night Football game. Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit spending the fourth quarter trying to remember baseball players was thrilling in its way.
The good news for the Dolphins is that they didn’t concede a field goal on their first drive. They’ve undoubtedly spent this current somewhat long break focused on that. Buffalo’s fourth down contrast with Miami’s flaming failure couldn’t have set the game’s tone better. Ed Oliver is Miami’s offensive coordinator. He says go for it.
James Cook was responsible for a one-play drive that barely used any clock. What was he thinking? I guess scoring was a worthwhile tradeoff. An 18-point game would be a pretty good basketball showing. In football, it’s a career night. Cook served as Oliver’s counterpart in how he stepped up this outing to serve as the primary threat. If trends continue, they’ll each serve as a distraction from the latest featured Bills against Jacksonville.
A multidimensional play jumps off the page. Options begin up front. Blocking seems far more accomplished in their first pair of examples. I blame Ken Dorsey, as that’s always a good idea. A more straightforward steamrolling technique has enabled the rushing attack that Buffalo relies on in an alternate dimension. The success following handing off means not having to rely on whoever’s their quarterback to move spectacularly.
Josh Allen loves the Power Glove. It’s so bad. Particularly tiresome concern trolls outsiders fretted that a fearlessly intense competitor would be felled by a bruised non-throwing hand. Coincidentally, they’re the same ones who spent a very fulfilling offseason claiming he’s overrated.
First play’s receiver Dalton Kincaid heard he wasn’t part of the offense. Four receptions doesn’t seem like a lot except for how it’s four times as many as he had in the opener. Bettors who look for what’s next instead of thinking what’s now will continue indefinitely should anticipate the de facto top receiver trending upward.
I wish the Bills hadn’t shown they can still defend with Terrel Bernard hurt. We were one more injury from seeing how good Josh is at linebacker. The Joe Andreessen story has a chance to sound even more implausible if he can seize opportunity.
The primary concern for the opposing quarterback is living healthily. But the Dolphins still have to figure out what to do about the way he played while he was feeling his best. To honor his favorite quarterback Josh Allen, Tua threw to Bills. Maybe he’s right-handed. I’m not saying the arm he uses is weak, but he couldn’t even heave it into the stands. It’a apparently tough to aim at the crowd and hit it. Ja’Marcus Ingram’s interception with the score was like homering during an intended intentional walk. Fans have been urging the wrong quarterback to slide. If it makes Dolphins fans feel better, Tua makes more than Josh.
Having a saboteur helps. Jordan Poyer remains so fond of his erstwhile team that he undermined his current employer with a cheap shot. If that wasn’t enough, his wretched angle before a missed tackle ensured Cook scored his most impressive touchdown. Players may leave, but the attachment may remain. A beloved departed player is still the Bills MVP.
I hope everyone has had fun with a season that’s speeding by Cook-style. A decent portion of it is already done. We’re already through 11.8 percent of Bills games this season. As with winning so dominantly, the math astounds.
Feeling like you waited forever for something that’s over instantly is the welcome downside of starting 2–0 in under four and a half days. Taking a vacation the week after Christmas seems like revelry is spaced too closely, but you may as well enjoy another Tom and Jerry while presented with the opportunity.
That was one odd time for a Sunday off. Playing Thursday then a week from Monday is throwing off routines. Scattering the schedule across multiple days provides countless options for watching professional football just like you’re not stuck choosing the best television option out of three. That’s why you’ll soon get to tune in to games at 10:37 a.m. on Tuesday.
Winning against Miami constantly is fun. Why didn’t they dominate a divisional rival like this before? I guess it’s tricky, what with having to assemble a good team. But conditions have finally come together. Similarly, Bills night games haven’t inspired dread in awhile. Perpetual struggles were long enough ago that you forgot your tweets about them. Dredging up pain is best when you’re no longer suffering.
