Von Miller Staying Positive During ACL Recovery

‘“I’m excited for the opportunity to go through rehab and show my teammates how dope I am—like I have this injury and how I can bounce back from it the way I do. Just another opportunity to prove to my guys that their opinion matters most to me.”’

Opinion: Dolphins at Bills: Sal’s keys, notes, and stats

‘There’s been a lot made lately about how the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Chargers shut down the Dolphins passing attack. Specifically, playing more press-man coverage, and disrupting their timing. Can the Bills use that blueprint? Will they need to?’

What is the forecast for Bills-Dolphins?

‘Make sure you dress in layers, hats, gloves, snow pants, and jackets. The temperatures during the game will be in the upper 20s, but the wind chill will feel like it is in the teens. The wind will be 12-18 mph, with gusts close to 32 mph. Moderate to heavy snow will continue to fall throughout the game. An additional 2-4” of new snow will fall by the end of the 4th quarter.’

‘The key for the Bills is no different than it is for the Dolphins. They must manage the field conditions, whether it is making sure they wear the proper cleats for better footing or employing an offensive game plan that, if necessary, incorporates as much running and power-oriented play as possible.’

Thad’s Three Things: Bills vs. Dolphins

‘I do think any sort of accumulating snow will favor the Bills. The Dolphins strength is their offense and that offense is based on speed. Getting passes out quick and getting their quick receivers in space to make big plays. A few inches of snow on the ground will literally slow that down. There’s no doubt the Bills passing game would be affected as well, but Josh Allen’s cannon won’t be hampered by a few flakes in the air as much as Tyreek Hill’s legs will be in a pile of slush on the ground.’

So you want to be part of a Bills snow game?

‘News 8 checked third party sites like StubHub, and while prices are lower than most games this year, there is no sign, at least right now, of a mass sell-off. 300-level seats are still going for over $100, while the lower levels are still starting near $200 (with fees of course).’

Bills prepare for rematch with Dolphins, this time in cold and snow

‘But listen, nobody really likes playing in the cold and snow. I asked Allen what he’s learned about how to handle it. “I took my shoes off right now because my toes are still frozen from practice,” he said. “Finding what works for you, whether it’s wearing the long sleeves, wearing some under-stuff just to keep that warmth up, whether it’s like some Icy Hot stuff on your toes to try to keep the circulation going down there, again staying on the heated benches as much as possible, hands in the hand warmer as much as possible.”‘

‘”It’s a mindset thing, really,” Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said. “And if I’m too focused and worried about ‘Is it too cold? Can I really grab the ball? Can I not?’ then I would say I’m focused on the wrong things.”‘
