I think we will win by a touchdown. Preston Williams is a significant loss for them from the last game. 

 

Buffalo 20 Miami 13

 

Before the last game pretty much  no Bills fan knew who Preston Williams was. Now he is a significant loss. Hopefully we don't create any more Dolphins short term superstars like Preston Willams or Jay Ajayi.

Help is appreciated if anyone knows the best place to watch in Asheville, NC. Internet seems to be telling me Nantahala Brewing Company (an “event room”) is the official Bills Backer bar, but some Bier Garden place pops up too. Very little info about the venues on line (Google street view for one looks like an empty store front), so it seems sketchier than I would have expected. 

 

Big day in so many ways! 

Hit the Bier Garden. Been a while since I was in Asheville, but even if it’s not the “backer” location it’s still a great place to catch a game. The downside is if it’s a big game day you might be SOL if you don’t show up early. I went on a Saturday and it was packed for college ball.

I remember a game in Miami with Losman and the Bills doing this very thing a few years ago! Let’s do it again! 
 

Edit:  whoops— never mind. I forgot about the rest of the game. So Billsy!!

 

The Dolphins played host to the Bills on Dec. 4 in 2005 in a game that produced the greatest fourth-quarter comeback in franchise history. The Dolphins fell behind 21-0 in the first quarter on three touchdown passes from JP Losman to Lee Evans and took a 23-3 lead in the third quarter with a safety, during which Dolphins starting quarterback Gus Frerotte was knocked out with an injury. Sage Rosenfels came on in relief and guided the Dolphins to three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, the last coming on a 4-yard pass to Chris Chambers with six seconds left for an improbable 24-23 victory. Read more "Matchup Memories" here.

 

 

The only saving grace to that fiasco was that the Bills were already 4-7 and not even "in the hunt" so the loss wasn't particularly disastrous.

Oh believe me I knew who he was. I thought he was a 2nd round draft talent who fell understandably because of his issues off the field.

It’s kind of weird that Duke Williams practiced well enough to get Zay traded, had 4 catches and a TD in his first game, then hurts his shoulder and can’t get back on the field, even though he’s apparently healthy.

Hey McD,  act like a head coach today and mandate Daboll gets Singletary at least 17 touches. Just because you know defense doesn’t mean you can’t be blamed for setting offensive direction. You are Daboll’s boss. Act like it!

Must win game.  A loss today and wheels start to come off on this season.

 

 

WAIT - Is this where desperation enhances skills like some fans write about? ? 

 

If so - SLAM DUNK! ?

 I'm actually ok with trying to pass most of the time. That's how the league works these days . Your thoughts? 

 

Is it?  Lets look at some teams against the Browns this year

 

BILLS: 41 pass 20 runs

SF: 29 pass 40 runs

SEA: 33 pass 38 runs

NE: 36 pass 27 runs

BAL: 34 pass  29 runs

 

Those include QB runs as well.  Im not spending the time to separate designed runs vs scrambles.  It appears to me that teams are a little more balanced while we went pass heavy.

Oh good. Another week of prioritizing special teams “talents” such as Sinorise Perry and Julian Stanford who offer virtually nothing to their side of the ball, over guys that can help the anemic offense such as Yeldon and Duke. Stoked!

It’s Fosters turn.

Agree but could be two things here.  Foster is a ST gunner and wasn't healthy when Duke got his start.

Jesus man Id rather have a possession receiver that can snag a pass then some guy that can streak down the field looking over the wrong shoulder.  What is wrong with these coaches.

I do get it, but at some point, even if it’s not completely Foster’s fault, we need to see production from him.   
 

We know Josh’s strength are those 10-20 yard darts, which seems to be an area we could utilize a big bodied WR like Duke.  
 

Of course, if “play fearless” changes the dynamic and we finally see the big play ability back in this offense, then I certainly won’t be questioning Foster over Duke anymore.

"Play fearless"

 

This is what they're going to put on Sean McDermott's statue outside of New Era Field someday as we look back at the 2019 Super Bowl winning Buffalo Bills team and the moment the franchise turned it all around.

 

I'll raise a glass to that!
