Sitting in the Jim Kelly club seat section at the 50 yard line, I had a wonderful view from the Dolphins sideline side. First off, let me just talk about Bills fans that were around me. I put everything into routing for my team when we made plays and I was not harrassed much besides a few namecalls and such. But all you have to do is ignore it. Thats it. Ignore it. I had some nice conversations afterwards with the ones sitting next to me and behind me. One guy said that he loves our HC and he thinks we are defenitely on our way. He also said RB is all that and we will be dangerous with him and Ricky. The people in front of me, huge penalty crybabies, said the Bills are not that good to win a game like that through 18 penalties. For us to come back like that and put a hurtin on them ( I noticed Mcgahee was gimpy and worn out when he walked off the field), we made a statement to Bills fans.
Regardless of what you hear about some fans and this and that, Bills fans know their football, I think they just overestimate themselves every year. But they wake up and realize just who they are, they just do not let it show at gametime, and they give it their all. I wish Dolphin fans in Miami were the same way.
With that said, Here is my take on the game.
I dont understand why we insist on going offsides so much on the DL, especially in the first half when we are not blitzing as much and trying to read what they do and react to it in the second half, which we did nicely once again yesterday. When we created fumbles, we did not have the ball bounce our way yesterday much. That will change in the future. Holcomb was a factor yesterday but because they threw a surprise offense at us with a no huddle style O and hitting recievers short and sweet, which is what I thought they would do. Mcgahee had to earn everything he got yesterday.
The refs were so biased yesterday despite our teams ability to give the refs all the ammo they need to call everything they called. The didnt call holding at all on the Bills till the end of the game and they could have called it all day long if they had so desired. They did not desire to.
As far as our team goes, Our weakness is not the secondary, its penalties as I said before the game. We have the talent, we have the coaching, we have a QB who can run the O with an OL that is doing rather well despite stupid penalties. We have TE's, WR (Booker is looking better than CC IMO), and RB's for sure. WE ARE BEATING OURSELVES! Once that gets turned around, we will be a force week in and week out. I did not feel sad after yesterdays game for some strange reason. I mean, it was the Bills, but I felt sort of happy after hearing what some bills fans said to me. They know whats coming people. They know that Dolphin games are now going to be very interesting.
Here is what I saw with our team yesterday.
- #35 Jackson should not be playing at all or at least not starting which he was yesterday, Daniels was playing much more in the second half.
- Zach Thomas is never going to slow down. Another double digit tackling display. He is so underrated in this league. Bills fans are jealous of him because he actually is the type of personality they love in their players.
- Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams will make us so much better in the second half of the season. We need to start with Tampa. I think we can win that game.
- Gus Frerrote is still playing good ball despite 3 INT's yesterday, the only costly one was the one in the endzone. We would have won yesterday if we had a FG on that drive.
- Our goaline D is super, and they proved it once again yesterday.
- The only thing really killing us is penalties, but as we have heard from LSU fans, this is how things transpire in a Saban regime. I think Nick is patient more than what he tells the media. What else are you suppose to say? We are a good team people, it will all come together in time, and it would be nice to beat a tough Tampa team in Tampa to get it going. Will Caddy play? I think we should study the Lions tape.
