Dave Hyde On The Implosion Of The AFC East And What It Means For The Dolphins

[mnphinfan]

Have you seen Josh Allen's production in the last half of the season? The defense saved their ass... Acting like Diggs isn't a loss is delusional...

In the last 8 games, Allen had a rating over 90 3 times and a rating under 70 3 times... And they lost 2 games in that stretch...

It was really weird. Allen didn't play particularly well and they still won on the back of the defense. I think them winning that way is one of the reasons they felt they could get rid of Diggs.

Problem is, teams are going to play defense against them much differently now. Safety's aren't going to have to play over the top every snap and will now be able to play much closer to the LOS which is going to hurt both the running game and Kincaid. It's why they are trying desperately to beef up the oline. Time will tell, but I see the Bills offense taking a major step back this season. So much so that the talking heads in lamesteam media will be bashing the Bills FO for not giving Allen any playmakers on the outside.

Let’s revisit after the draft, that have ammo to trade up for a top WR

I hope they do trade two firsts and a second to move up for a WR when the current roster is made of Swiss cheese and they have cap salary constraints.

They may not be the juggernaut, but they have been OUR daddies for well over half a decade.

We're what, 2-13 against them in our last 15 matchups????

The bills are. That's who.

We will see next year

I think Bills will still be good. Dolphins should be too. Jets and rodgers??? Idk what going happen over there.

I like Dave Hyde way more than most on here. Let’s revisit this article after draft.

The Dolphins with a deep passing game, below average OL, and bad defense don’t scare anybody in Dec/Jan playoff football. I’m sorry but it’s true.

Edit - Dolphins were 25th in pts allowed in 2022 and 22nd in 2023. If you think they got better by bargain shopping against the cap in 2024, then you’re drinking the kool aid.

Fair enough, but I really like Kool Aid. - LOL

Who wrote them off?

I admit I did. - LOL

 

[Ray R]

He’s definitely looked awesome against us. If we beat tennessee it wouldn’t have mattered if we beat them or not

There is that!

 

[Ray R]

True. If we fail next year then everyone’s job is on the line heading into 2025. We’ll see

RONG, just plain RONG.

Miami Dolphins: 2
Buffalo Allens: 10

Next year's highest draft picks?
Does that mean New England is back. - LOL

The

Maybe you should super donate to the bills forum

Do they need more "dung". - LOL

 

[Ray R]

Have you looked at what they lost vs what they brought in? That team lost its top 3 WRs, it's top two safeties, and thats just the top of the list. Sure, they have Allen and their TE and Cook at RB but they are hurting talent wise. I project them to be a 7/8 win team next year.

Sounds good to me. - LOL

 

[Ray R]

I have just been going by his play in big games and how far he has taken the Dolphins.

Football is a team sport!
Get your balance. - LOL

 

[Fred Bear]

I'm sure hoping we can replace the good players we had to free agency

In the real world this means nothing

Who’s record would you take since 2020, what does that mean in the real world?
