Two Bills Drive

'“(Miller’s) played really well. Sometimes it’s hard for these young guys,” Ryan said. “Around the league they might not know him, but John is playing really well.''

'The Bills didn't speak of revenge, however. "We go out there and get the win, that takes care of everything," Gilmore said.'

'"It was one of the more painful games for me to watch," Dareus said.'

'Bills, 28-21.'

'The Bills did get some good news on the injury front as defensive tackle Kyle Williams returned to the practice field on a limited basis. Williams has been dealing with a back injury that had kept him out of practice the past two days. Williams missed Buffalo's Week 14 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers before returning last week against the Cleveland Browns.'

Conventional wisdom says that the Bills have a better chance with Tannehill out but the fact of the matter is, he has performed terribly in Buffalo especially late in the season. In fact, the last time Miami won in Buffalo was in 2011 and Moore was the quarterback. Miami will be highly motivated since they have more to lose than the Bills since their playoff chances are very good while the Bills chances are less than one percent. I think the Bills have one last stand in them as they may rise up and win it for their embattled coach. They also have the motivation of getting back at Miami for beating them up physically back in the October meeting: <br />

Bills 23, Dolphins 17 <br />

Season Prediction Record: (13-1)

'Buffalo has to keep Miami’s big plays to a minimum both on the ground and through the air. Jay Ajayi cannot be arm tackled, so Buffalo defenders must rally to the football when he’s running it. QB Matt Moore loves to throw the deep ball, so getting beat over the top just cannot happen. Buffalo has tied things down better on the back end of late. That must continue for the Bills to be in position to win.'

'“As a kid you at least want to go once,” Brown said. “You work hard for it you know, you play hard. You care more about winning than anything, but I was like, ‘Man it would be cool to go to.’ But then I thought about it and I was like ‘We still have a chance to make it to the playoffs.’”'

'“I know I can trust Coach T (Terrell Williams, defensive line), V.J. (Vance Joseph, defensive coordinator) and (head coach Adam) Gase. My biggest thing is that they’re understanding. You have a talk with somebody and you feel like, ‘Alright, I don’t understand what he’s saying.’ Or ‘he doesn’t understand what I’m saying.’ But (this is) totally different. Across the board everybody is 100 percent straight up with what’s going on. That’s why, not just myself, but a lot of guys are understanding how things are going.”'

'“Hopefully I’ll be here,” Woods continued. “Expecting to be here. I’m just going to play all out, go out there and put on a show if it is or it isn’t” my final home game.'

'Instead, New England’s Dont’a Hightower (64 tackles, 2.5 sacks) and Baltimore’s C.J. Mosley (72 and 0) were voted into the game at middle/inside linebacker.'

'Yes, the Bills shut out Bill Belichick at Gillette Stadium for the first time ever, 16-0. But the Patriots were down to their their third-string quarterback, Jacoby Brissett, who played through a thumb injury that sent him to injured reserve as soon as Tom Brady returned the following week.'

'It’s funny because I like Mario. I thought he was a good guy. I don’t think there’s any doubt. I think sometimes, you know, when you’re making the money that he was making and all that, the expectations were huge. And sometime it’s—you know, it takes away from you just want him to play. And I think whether it’s with Mario or some other players, I think that that’s tough to do. And it seems like you’re put on the defensive a lot instead of just going out and being able to enjoy what you’ve always done, which is play.'

'Some have expressed a willingness to convey those thoughts to team owners Terry and Kim Pegula. But the best, if not only, way to speak is with their actions. They need to win out in convincing fashion – regardless of the help they might or might not get to sneak into the postseason – to have a prayer of altering what appears a done deal.'
