My Thoughts on the Game: It’s hard to imagine a more electric atmosphere than what we’re going to see at the Ralph for this week’s game. It’s the home opener, against the fish, Ralph tribute, Pegula announced as the new owner, after a week 1 win in Chicago, Alumni Day, Reed, Kelly… seriously, are the football stars aligning for the Bills or what!? However, I certainly hope the Bills aren’t taking the Dolphins lightly. Looking at the game stats from last week it’s also hard to imagine a team more evenly matched for the Bills. It should be good, tough game. Miami, unfortunately, has made some strides in their perpetual rebuilding as well and are looking like a real team again. With that said, no way they beat the Bills THIS week. I’ll be watching for a few things: 1. Henderson vs Wake. This could be the matchup of the game. Wake ripped through the NE line last week and caused fits for Brady. Let’s hope Hackett has a plan, because I’d rather not see the rookie have to deal with Wake all by his lonesome. 2. The Bills secondary. Last week Cutler seemed to pass at will (when he wasn’t throwing interceptions). I like to think that was just Cutler and a couple of good WRs. Hopefully, the Dolphins don’t get 300 yds passing as well. 3. The running game for both teams. It seems both teams want to run, but which one will? If I were going to make predictions, I’d say whomever runs the ball more effectively, will win this game. 4. Marrone. Can he keep the players focused and sharp in a week where emotions should be riding as high as ever? 5. The Fans at the Ralph. I anticipate a wild, loud and insane crowd at the Ralph. Once again, Buffalo is going to show the league and the nation what a true football town looks like. I hope everyone in attendance has a great time and a safe travel to and from the game. Go Bills!!

Big C Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 It's 4:19am and I can't sleep. Feels like Christmas. It's quiet...too quiet. Same problem here! But 1:30 for me. Our Team stats are almost identical, with the exception of points for and yards allowed, which favori the Fins. We'll fix that in about 8.5 hours.

plenzmd1 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) been up since 5 at the Embassy Suites in Buffalo. 6 AM now, leave in an hour for the game. Was up a little too late celebrating Mr. Pegula with my nephews, spent way to much money on Fireball,me head hurts and my stomach not doing much better, my Mother in Law is in the room next me, and I am still way to excited to sleep. I would leave now if i could get my daughter up...as so many articles have been written, just so emotional spending this day at the Ralph with my son, daughter and nephews......58-3 final score, me watching every point!

1billsfan Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 If the game starts with the Bills getting the ball, I really hope they don't go conservative on that initial drive. The crowd will be beyond crazy and as much as everyone loves the running game, a deep bomb on first down is in order. I think the success of that play increases with the electricity the fans will bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I'll be packing up to head to McFadden's in Philly! We all line up at the door until they open and joke that we don't have a drinking problem, we have a football problem Go Bills! On a more analytic note, how do you think Hackett is going to deal with the 5-2 Miami seems intent on putting on the field? If they really are intent on putting 5 guys on the line with their LB group the way it is, I would love to see a lot of sweeps and quick routes in space to Watkins.
