The Buffalo Bills rebounded from the season-opening loss to Pittsburgh with an emphatic 35-0 shutout of the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday.
Bills Twitter, despite stretches of frustration with the Buffalo offense and Josh Allen in the first half, regained its cool as the blowout progressed, appreciating a dominant defensive performance. The postgame consensus, however, still expressed concern about the Bills moving forward.
OPTIMISM REIGNS
the bills took squish the fish VERY literally today and i’m here for it

A 35-0 Bills win on the road against Miami and the offense hasn’t even found its rhythm yet. Love to see it. #BillsMafia

Taron Johnson is absolutely one of my favorite players. Completely disregard for his own body.

BILLS CULTURE
My husband is at work and my kids are playing outside do I periodically have to go outside to check on them. When I do, I can hear Bills reactions from houses in every direction.

Watching the bills destroy the dolphins while on my honeymoon sitting in the very chair @JoshAllenQB sat in when he visited Carmel. Apparently Joshy and I have the same taste in bars... #weddinggoals #billsticketsasweddinggift?@MulligansPublic pic.twitter.com/KRdZcpOXa6

REFLECTIONS ON FOX'S COMMENTARY
On the same drive while #Bills on offense, Matt Millen has referenced both “farting” and “Einstein”. #Range. #BUFvsMIA

Matt Millen breaking out commentary on Einstein and Archimedes on the Bills-Dolphins telecast. As a geek, I'm really impressed.

NOT AS ROSY
That Bills game was the most frustrating 35-0 shutout win in NFL history lol.

Bills fans, we have NOTHING to be happy about. We looked AWFUL.

Is it me or does Brissett look more poised than #JoshAllen? #bills wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bills just won the closest 35-0 game I’ve ever seen.
— eammon (@theeammon) September 19, 2021
Bills beat a divisional rival 35-0 and everyone is still mildly disappointed. It’s amazing how much our expectations have shifted in the McDermott era.
— Matthew Waite (@MatthewJWaite) September 19, 2021
The penalties through the first game and a half are killing the Bills but also me. The penalties + anemic passing attack make this game nearly unwatchable.

Josh Allen needs to figure this out. He’s a quarter billion dollar quarterback. 3 straight runs after throwing a pick is how you protect a rookie, not someone for what he’s supposed to be. #Bills

TWEETS THAT MADE US LAUGH
If the Bills played the Dolphins 10 times they might win 13 of them

ran some advanced stats between quarters, and Diggs was roughly one indo-pacific bottlenose dolphin away from any defender on that TD https://t.co/agvdPUDga6 pic.twitter.com/jlcOVVDXRC

I will be wearing my new Bills shirt for any game, and I take responsibility for their win today.
