Buffalo Bills blow out Miami Dolphins to flex AFC East supremacy | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

last night the game itself and it it I I felt bad for the folks on the Amazon Prime postgame show because on one hand you're trying to celebrate the bills on the other hand you got this serious news issue and it it was a strange dichotomy to say the least but the bills got a win a huge win just four days after coming from behind to beat a Cardinals team that many thought they would dominate the bills go to a place where they knew the stakes the Dolphins knew the stakes even though it's only week two huge game and the bills were very opportunistic they took advantage of the opportunities they got via short Fields thanks to three Tu aonga vioa interceptions the dagger came with the pick six after you know the bills were held in the third quarter and now it could get interesting at 2410 just like that it's 3110 and it felt like it was over at that point all right uh Florio I I told you before uh the show that always uh text Sims when you guys are on the air I'm always talking to Sims I don't know if I texted him yesterday when did you make your piic I think he picked Miami did he pick Miami to win the game he did he did I did not okay th this is my I know you didn't this is my text to Chris Sims what are you thinking I me what are you doing look Mike uh yesterday was as predictable as uh the sun in Miami I mean come on it's it's really not a contest between the bills I'm gonna go I'm going to take it a little further it's not a contest between the bills and anybody else in the AFC East I think they're clearly the class of the division now they've won 12 of their last 13 against Miami it's just a it's just a bad matchup for Miami and I think they are physically overwhelmed by Buffalo most of the time but I think uh psychologically you say it's only week two but if you're Miami this is a continuation all those guys who have been there before this is a continuation of previous beatdowns the hands of the Buffalo Bills they just know how to approach the Dolphins whether the Dolphins are coached by Brian Flores or uh Mike McDaniel it doesn't matter um it's a it's this is their division this is their division and as Shan mcder said In that clip that we played off the top this was their game it's always their game when they play the the Miami Dolphins and and when I think about it it it makes a lot of sense because if you look at if you look at the most important people in the division oh excuse me in in the organization look at the AFC East Buffalo clearly has the best combo of important people so head coach general manager the Jets have Robert Salah and Joe Douglas Patriots have Gerard mayo and Elliot wolf um the Dolphins have Mike McDaniel and uh Chris Greer and buffalo has sha McDermot there for a long time along with Brandon Bean not to mention they got the best quarterback in the division so if you really just break that longevity performance playoff victories and I know Buffalo was seen as a national like nationally they're a little disappointing maybe their window is closed I don't know in the division there's no disappointment there's no doubt in my mind I think they win the division again and I think the next time they play Miami I think they win that game as well and Michael I think the perception was the defense isn't as good as it needs to be well it looks pretty good with a healthy Von Miller and Gregory Russo on the verge of becoming a superstar and yeah they had guys leave on the back end but sometimes those guys leave because it's time and they move forward with guys that they know they can reload with but the defense looks pretty good and all the consternation about Stefan Diggs and Gabe Davis leaving first of all they were not throwing the ball to Stefan Diggs much at all down the stretch last year this isn't like taking Randy Moss and his prime off of the Vikings Stefan Diggs had cycled through his Rel to the bills by the time we got to the end of last season Gabe Davis never lived up to the promise that we saw the night scored four touchdowns against the Chiefs in that classic divisional round game so as long as you got Josh Allen there are plenty of guys out there that can run routes get open and catch passes there aren't many Josh Allen out there and he had a throw last night there like holy crap I mean there's a thousand guys that can make that catch there's one or two guys that can make that throw that's the bills Ace in the Hole and that's why they're 2 and 0 and that's why they're going to keep winning games as long as he's healthy he's not as long as that left hand that had that big giant glove on it like the old cartoon when you know somebody would blow into their thumb and their hand would explode I don't know what he had stuffed in that glove but you know as long as he's healthy they'll be fine somebody else uh somebody else besides me uh spent a lot of time watching Saturday morning cartoons back in the day thank you for that reference I appreciate it I'm right I got a good SAT I I got a good Saturday morning cartoon story for you that I've told on the show before I'll tell you some other time when we're having a conversation you'll both like it and be horrified by it but go ahead I'm sorry to interrupt you okay oh now now I'm intrigued now I'm intrigued I can't that that is a professional tease if I've ever heard one and you know all the other all the things you mentioned about Buffalo Mike there's another one there's another dimension and this is huge if you are a Josh Allen protect Josh Allen guy well you look at Joe Brady what he can now put in his uh offensive coordinator repertoire is that he's got a lot of running backs that he can go to with different skill sets you know you saw uh cook last night with his three touchdowns so he is an elusive fast I mean just kind of just one of those backs not a bulky guy but can do a lot of things so you got that guy Ray Davis what an addition for Buffalo a small guy but Stout can run between the tackles and then they have Ty Johnson as a third down back the point is they don't have to just say okay it's third and short hey Josh take the ball and just run up the middle I mean he can do that they don't have to do it I think this is probably the most complete running back group they've had and buffalo and all of these guys compliment each other they make a lot of sense I I think um the offense even with without with the loss of Diggs I think the offense is better I think you're absolutely right and I want to flip it over to Tua it's difficult to criticize his play that preceded the injury but the three interceptions that he threw and I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder and you can have reasonable Minds differ on whose fault each one is the the first one the ball was delivered behind the receiver when it cared off of his shoulder pads into the hands of a bills Defender the second one I heard a suggestion last night that maybe Robbie Anderson chosen Anderson ran the wrong route unless the route was go deep and climb a ladder I don't know that that you know it would have been his fault because that just looked like a misfire and the last one was just a failed effort to get rid of the football he didn't have the arm strength to get the ball out of bounds when he was gobbled up by the defensive line and you can't BL well this guy's injured that guy's injured you got to make quicker decisions better decisions about what to do to get rid of the football so you're not in that spot where you're just saying I got to get rid of this ball because the walls have closed in all three of those you could yeah and and I'm sure there's plenty of blame that you can portion if you study the film but boy they sure look like just bad decisions and bad throws by the guy who had the football in his hands yeah the the one the the the arm let's call it the arm strength interception that one will drive a coach crazy and probably drives to a crazy and he goes back and and looks at the film that's just one of those where you got to know you got to know the situation and you got to know what you can do I I saw that Mike I said what is he doing it's a it's it would be a big loss but you sit there and you you take the uh you take the sack and you take the huge loss but that was just even if you have the arm strength to do that that's such a risky throw uh the the the negatives far outweigh the positives all the negative things that can happen I mean it's that throw that's like a textbook oh wow what the hell it's almost like those uh those those plays sometimes where the quarterback will fall down untouched get back up and then try to throw the ball generally bad things happen on that one too unless you're Patrick Mahomes and you make magic out of it but generally those plays those plays are going to be exactly that either an almost interception or an interception yeah and I can't think of many guys other than Mahomes and Josh Allen who even have a chance of getting that ball to where to aonga valo was trying to put it when when he was heading toward the ground uh with the attempted sack all right let's take a break when we return our Friday morning staple not to be confused with the Saturday morning cartoons Friday morning show me something draft for week two that's next on PFT live hi it's Mike Florio thanks
