Go visit PFF, Football outsiders ,etc if you want to see the metrics on Tua. Or check out his stats yourself on NFL.com, ESPN, etc.

Couldn't you say the same thing about Mahomes/Allen/etc? Rarely do elite QB's play a great 4 quarters, week after week. I get that I'm not going to convince some folks that Tua/Miami are a great team even though the evidence is right in front of the homers if they paid attention last week. Either way I still see Miami as the division favorite right now until proven otherwise. If Tua is out for an extended period of time that obviously changes though.

It's not ideal but I had this team at 3-3 after the first 6 before getting hotter down the stretch. Just think it's asking a lot playing back to back road games against SB contenders but then again if the Bills truly fancy themselves one they should be able to split here.

Disagree, Tua is right up there as one of the league's elite QB's and and all the reliable metric sources confirm this. Division rival or not it will be really unfortunate if his season is derailed because of how Miami handled his injury situation the last few weeks.

Still not sure this is the right move unless he's close to 100% and last week that definitely wasn't the case.

I know some fans are looking to minimize anything related to the Dolphins, but the Bengals are a contender even if they still have work to do like a lot of other similar teams. That defense is solid and if their oline can improve even marginally they'll be very hard to beat. It says a lot though they were able to get to the SB last year and almost won it with an average at best oline. Also beating one of the league's best teams means something even if there's an asterisk since Tua left the game early.

Bengal quietly getting back on track and looking like the team that came within a few minutes of winning a championship last year. Makes this weeks game that much more important for both the Bills and Ravens, especially the latter who going to be battling the Bengals for the division title likely up until the final weeks of the season.

I certainly hope not. Kid is off to a great start and emerged as one of the league's elite QB's in his 3rd year similar to JA17. If I were the Bills I'd tread very lightly with JA17 going forward as well considering all the injuries in this league including to all 3 starting QB's on the division rival teams. No more designed run crap and certainly need the oline to step up big time going forward!

I'll never understand the Saffold signing. Some fans thought this was a great move because of his name but there's a reason why the Titans were quick to dump him and that's because he's about done in this league. Almost wondering if not letting Bates go to the Vikings was a mistake too. Granted it's early, but aside from Dawkins and Morse there are still way too many question marks right now and even Spencer Brown looks to be headed down that dreaded Bills sophmore slump. You can argue we've faced 3 great defensive lines so far to start the year but you still need to perform and time is going to run out soon if this oline can't get it together.

Would be shocked if he isn't active and on the field this week especially since I don't see Jackson or Poyer being rushed back into the lineup. Big time challenge though trying to slow down Lamar and what he can do both on the ground and through the air.

Sounds like Jones might not be out long which is good news for the Patriots staying in contention this season. They probably weren't going to win in GB this week with him anyway but will be interesting to see if he's back next week.

I've said all along that the Dolphins would be up for this game and find a way to beat the Bills at some point. Whether or not it was their SB game similar to the Bills/Chiefs regular season one last year remains to be seen but you almost get the sense that there was a changing of the guard and power shift in the AFC East last week. Bills under tremendous pressure now to keep pace and bounce back with a brutal schedule still to come including games @ BAL and @ KC in the next 3 weeks.

I'm not sure I believe in all the Philly hype. They look like a good team but in some ways remind me of the Cardinals last year when they raced out to a ridiculous hot start as well before collapsing in 2nd half and could see that happening here once teams catch up to them a bit. Regarding the Dolphins, if they find a way to win in Cincy on a short week it's hard to see them losing many games the rest of the way. They aren't going undefeated either but still not sure I see more than 3 losses on their schedule which puts pressure on the Bills to keep pace so the rematch in December isn't meaningless in terms of still having a chance to win the division for 3rd straight year.

Tua showed a lot of grit coming back in the 2nd half and leading the dolphins to a come from behind win in the 4th quarter. Will be interesting to see what he looks like tomorrow against the Bengals in a very tough matchup on short week.

It's still early, but for all the talk about Aaron Kromer being some sort of savior that's gone out the window pretty quick because this oline looks worse than last year so far and being masked by JA17's ability to get the ball out quickly and evade pressure. The bigger picture though is this oline is still pretty soft overall and lacking players who can physically dominate their one on one matchups regularly.

Flacco has actually been pretty solid so will be interesting to see if Wilson can elevate the Jets offense to be any more productive than they have been.

Don't have the greatest feeling about this game but going to learn a lot about this team in terms of whether or not they can bounce back from a tough loss. Also not a reach to say the AFC #1 seed could be determined in next 3 weeks with games against the Ravens and Chiefs, at least from the Bills perspective.

Depending on where this team is before the trade deadline in terms of injuries and record wise I could definitely see a move or two made. But I don't see a scenario where any 1st round picks are traded if anything because the team won't have the cap space to accommodate the type of player they'd be getting in return. Either way this team is treading dangerous waters right now where injuries can ruin everything similar to the Ravens last year and 49er's in 2020.

Why do fans keep insisting they know what the Pegulas are thinking in regards to McDermott/Beane? Obviously after one loss nothing is going to change and nor should it, but there are many scenarios come January in which they could change their minds very quick which have been discussed on here. Also recent extensions mean nothing when it comes to NFL head coaches and GM's as there have been many canned within a year after signing them and both McD and Beane know that.

I'm sure that's part of it, but a lot of veterans chasing a SB ring know they might not start or get a bulk of the snaps when they sign with similar teams. I think at this point though the Bills have no choice given the current injury situation and for all we know this might be more about Tre White if they already know he's not going to be ready to come off the PUP next week.

My only guess is Vegas trying to make some money and if I was a gambling man wouldn't touch this game with a 10 foot pole. The Bills can certainly win but I think the Ravens are another strong SB contender and this is another game I had circled in as a loss this year. One thing is for sure I don't see the Bills going in there and blowing them out so they will likely have yet another chance to figure out how to win a close football game.

Milano has always been a gritty player for this team but with all the injuries piling up I worry about him staying in the lineup since that's been his only real issue in his career here so far.

The problem is that the big plays against this defense happen at crucial moments, whether it's the playoffs in KC or moments that swing the momentum for good like Miami last week. This is why I maintain this team is never going to the promised land with McDermott. This defense always looks great on paper in terms of the overall stats, but it simply doesn't work when it matters most. And situational football awareness is simply not something McD can handle.

I said all along it was a big mistake not bringing in a veteran DB in the offseason. With that said, if Rhodes has anything left in the tank this is as good an in season signing at a position of need you can probably get at this point similar to what the Bucs just did with our old friend Beasely.

Dumpster diving mid season is never a good thing. Beane is going to need to swing a trade and be willing to give up future draft picks and/or one of our DT/DE's for any player of note that would actually help.
