Dorsey's done well for the most part, but he seems to have stuck Harty into the McKenzie/Hines "gadget player who mostly gets touches at/behind the line of scrimmage" box when he's much more of a vertical threat and can be viable as a depth WR

Who is Sam Howell? Is he Washington's normal starting QB?
Great game by the defense. That linebacker Bernard seems to be doing well.

I did not expect to see the amount of Leslie Frazier defenders on Reddit/Twitter today that I have encountered.
McDermott, while multi-tasking, has been so much better already. Reminds me of the 2014-2016 Panthers that would just smell blood in the water and blitz over and over. When Miller comes back this team is going to be a wagon on that front.

Wow... miami hype train has left the station. I love it, I want them to come to Orchard Park thinking no one could stop them.

So the first question, of course, is what that record is. It is 606, set by Peyton Manning and the 2013 Broncos. The 2023 Dolphins are on pace for 737 points, which would of course annihilate that mark. Now, teams only played 16 games in a season back then, and they now play 17, so we need to adjust a little bit to account for that. But at their current pace, the Dolphins would only need 15 games to break that record.
The record for points per game by a team in a single season is 38.8, set by the 1950 Rams. The Dolphins are currently averaging 43.3.
Verdict: NOT AN OVERREACTION
We've been saying since the summer, "If Tua can stay healthy, the Dolphins could be great." That has always been a big "if" because he never has, playing in just 13 games in both of his two full seasons as the team's starter. But things look so good right now that you have to imagine this is possible.
Geez, I mean, look back at the math again. The Dolphins have a pretty solid margin for error here. If Tagovailoa does stay healthy, who's going to stop this offense? They did all of this Sunday without receiver Jaylen Waddle, who's in the concussion protocol.
At this point, the better question about the Dolphins is this: If they're the last unbeaten team standing and they finally do lose a game, do the surviving members of the 1972 Dolphins still drink champagne?

It is too soon to tell about McD and this year's D because they haven't had to play a top QB outside of 4 snaps vs the Jets.
The D has looked great the last two games and I am interested to see what they can do against the Phins O that just lit up Denver. But, going against Tua and company, Mahomes, Burrow, and others that they have on the schedule later in the year will give us a much better idea of how good this D is.

Allen making better decisions is making Dorsey look better.
There will always be a few play calls per game that fans go WTF. The 4th down play calls and almost overfeeding Diggs the ball are the only two nitpicks I have for Dorsey at this point.
The key for the offense will be mostly about Allen making good decisions and not taking unneeded risks. If they do that, they will be a tough team to beat as they are strong in all three phases of the game.
Bills gave up 16/10/3 only logical conclusion is they shut out Miami and injure Tua. At the rate the Bills seem to injure QB's, they are now overdue to hurt one.
I wouldn't dismiss those four snaps with Rogers. It was the constant pressure, after all, that contributed to his being out for the remainder of the season. He wasn't out there picking the Bills apart, and then the achilles went catawampus all on its own.

After what happened last season, the football gods are definitely making it up to the Bills if they knock Tua out of the game on Sunday.

How Terrel Bernard's splash plays propelled Bills to boat-racing of Commanders
The Buffalo Bills might remember Sunday as Bernard's breakout game. The Athletic has more on the linebacker's outstanding day.

If TB can stay healthy, Beane is going to look really smart for letting Edmunds walk.

I ended up thinking Edmunds was generally fine for the Bills, and his length provided a big help in dissuading QBs from testing the middle of the field, but it's nuts that TB's already matched his season highs in INTs and sacks through 3 games.How Terrel Bernard's splash plays propelled Bills to boat-racing of Commanders

They are definitely leaning into TB's strengths just like they leaned into Edmunds's strengths.
Edmunds and his length allowing him to be so disruptive covering the short to intermediate middle of the field in zone coverage led them to not use him on blitzes as much as they will use TB to rush the passer.
But, TB getting a couple of INTs early has been the more eye popping thing. I also love the reports that he is a high energy "bring the juice" kind of guy, too.

So going into the season I was hoping the Bills would get better LB play this season with the change of philosophy at Edmunds' spot. How are people warming up to Terrel Bernard? He was a bit of a surprise starter right? He was a 2022 3rd round pick.
Dorian Williams, their 3rd round pick from this year, is playing as a backup, correct?

my biggest impression so far is
1. How well the defensive line is playing. Best I’ve seen it under McDermott
2. How the bills have dominated time of possession. They are currently 3rd at 35+ minutes a game
I don’t think the blueprint has changed much vs Miami. Jam at the line, disrupt Tuas first read, don’t give him a clean pocket.
Combine that with a strong run game and keeping Miami off the field. I don’t think you can eliminate all miamis big plays…but you can certainly limit them.

Well, the Bills scored 37, so what I'm about to say doesn't make all that much sense, but I wasn't so impressed by the offense. They got A LOT of help from the defense. I'm not sure if it is Allen, or the OC, or what, but they just don't seem to be an offense that is all that difficult to stop.
But maybe I'm asking too much. They seem to be an inconsistent offense.

Shhh. But that may continue to build on its own if we let it. Seems about right . Should be fun after last year.
The Bills have punted twice through two games.
For being an offense that's easy to stop, that's not a lot of stops.
Jim Bob
RIP RJ
The offense has put up 68 points over the past two games with 2 punts and 1 turnover.
I don't know how that is an inconsistent offense.

Wash is a good team , bills are getting contributions from youth and beane additions but mainly from McD. Impressive w lots of upside on both sides of ball. I hope von doesn't return til he confidently dominates in practice on turf. Tre may have finally turned a difficult corner after many more months than expected. This isn't about winning as much as the effort and breakthroughs and winning battles which we've seen alot, we saw against a very good team iin Wash w results. We seem put people in situations they can handle. I only worry about outside manipulation of this team.

Yeah, maybe I was counting FGs as stops. You guys are probably right.
It's nice to see James Cook thriving. Hope that continues and some of the other RBs have some big games too.
