Bills-Dolphins: Who you got? Buffalo News writers make their predictions for Thursday’s game
‘Aside from their pass rush, the Dolphins’ defense stinks. They haven’t been able to stop the run while allowing 66 points in two games. The secondary is thin because of injuries and departures. On offense, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has thrown three interceptions and typically struggles against the Bills.’
Bills Mailbag: After his latest injury, what’s Matt Milano’s future with the team look like?
‘As for Milano, his latest injury continues an unfortunate trend. While we don’t know the severity yet – coach Sean McDermott wasn’t exactly forthcoming with that information during the week – Milano has now dealt with some sort of injury in three straight seasons. At 31 years old and in the final year of his contract, it’s possible we’re seeing the last of Milano in a Bills jersey this season. He was ruled out of the game against Miami by McDermott on Wednesday.’
Fans will need to pay hefty prices for Bills tickets during final season at stadium
‘Tickets are expensive to see the Bills play in their final season at Highmark Stadium – averaging over $250 a seat per game on the secondary market.’
Jim Kubiak: Josh Allen and the Bills didn’t get credit for one thing in their latest win – efficiency. Take a look
‘Allen’s efficiency may have been lower than average – he completed 14 of 25 attempts (56%) for 148 yards – but he didn’t make a game-changing mistake. He converted critical third-down situations just when the Bills’ offense needed it most. He was solid all around, getting the offense into the right plays, protecting the ball and finishing drives with just enough for the Bills to get points.’
New Bills defender is already making noise off the edge
‘“Yes, he has had some injuries,” Beane said after the signing. “Most of them, if you watch him play, he plays the game violent, he plays reckless without care for his body, which you love, but sometimes, you’ve seen it here with (Matt) Milano a little bit, too, he plays the wrecking ball style. He knows how to rush. He hasn’t lost that.”’
Two starters on defense ruled out for Bills’ Thursday night game vs Dolphins
‘As expected, Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott declared that defensive tackle Ed Oliver and linebacker Matt Milano will not play Thursday night against the Miami Dolphins.’
Bills injury updates: What McDermott says before Thursday night game vs Dolphins
‘McDermott did not want to get into any long-term timeline on either player, saying, “We listen to Nate (Breske) and our training staff, our medical team, all our docs the same way. We wait on their clearance, if you will, to say, ‘Hey, yeah, it’s safe for the player to play.’ I think that’s No. 1, I know No. 1, and then making sure a player cannot hurt himself potentially more with any injury.”’

‘Sal’s prediction: Bills 31, Dolphins 17.’
What channel is the Bills game on? How to watch Buffalo Bills vs Miami Dolphins
‘Online streaming services: You can also watch on NFL.com and the NFL mobile app, and if you have a subscription to NFL+, the league’s own streaming service, but in that case you can’t cast the games to your TV so you must watch on your phone or tablet.’
Did Tua Tagovailoa just admit Bills’ Josh Allen is twice the QB he is right before their crucial matchup?
‘“He’s top tier,” Tagovailoa said of Allen. “If it’s not with his arm, it’s with his legs. That dude can do literally anything he wants. So, definitely different skill set for me. I can’t do half of what he does when it comes to running the ball and any of that, and then with how he can just chuck a ball down the field with how far and the arm strength that he has. He’s supreme when it comes to that. So it’s going to be fun to get to see him, get to play him again.”’
Two teams heading in opposite directions collide when Bills host Dolphins Thursday
‘“Yeah, they’ve got a lot of speed on their team overall, in particular on their offense and their returners as well,” Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Tuesday. “They do a lot of different things. I think coach (Mike) McDaniel is one of the better coaches in the league offensively in how he schemes things up. Hard to defend, explosive. So it makes for a big challenge, especially on a short week.”’
Bills can take another step toward an early jump in AFC East against 0-2 Dolphins
‘More importantly, the Bills start a three-game homestand Thursday and have a chance to take an early stranglehold on the AFC East before their Week 7 bye, with divisional games against the Dolphins and New England Patriots over the next three weeks.’
Bills don’t expect teetering Dolphins to sink in an always whacky division game
‘“You have to play with a little hate in your heart.”’
