Franco_92 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Don't think the small # of fans will be noticeable one way or another, but wonder what percentage will be rooting for the good guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 They played NE* tough, as they do most every team. I certainly respect their coach and program much more than the Jests. This will be a big game for as early as it is. They’re already desperate, given they’re 0-1 in the Division. Fitzy is Fitzy, but they have their future on the bench. I’m no where near as confident for this game as I was for NJ. 15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 2-0. Any way they can get it, they’ll make it happen against a team they should beat handedly. (But division games are always closer than expected) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing based on the rumblings I have read down here in Floriduh there will not be as many Mafia guys as some would hope for. Precious few tixs and Fins fans do like the team early and bail later in the season....all adds up to few tixs for the Mafia. I tried to get the few out there and so far have not had any luck......

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 This game is not going to be easy. It’s a borderline “must have” Considering the schedule. The Dolphins are physical and well coached. It will probably be incredibly hot down there. This would be a win to be proud of but it won’t come easy. Get the run game going and keep playing defense. Go Bills! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 We need Fitztragic to show up. If Fitzmagic shows up, it's Katy bar the door. We'll have to score 35-40 to beat them. D is banged up, and if both Edmunds and Cookie are out next week, we'll have to start Dodson, Klein, and Matekevich.

Success Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 The division already looks like Bills vs. Pats. I think this game will be a VERY early gauge in how we compare w/ the evil empire. Miami gave up a ton of rushing yards to them today. Their strength is really in the secondary - their line isn't that good. I'd love to see our running game break loose next week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following the classic Fitzpatrick pattern he should be Fitztragic after expending all his Fitzmagic energy securing a starting job. If we get enough of our LBs back we should be fine and win comfortable, otherwise will be tight.

Now now now......it's 70 degrees not 75!!! One HUGE source of hilarity for me after living in Rochester for 30+ years is how peeps deal with 70 degree weather here!!! LOL! As I told all my friends who were HORRIFIED when I was moving to FL "When a'lls y'alls show me that dude who is shoveling heat and scrapping humidity off his windshield then I will talk to you aboout my move" I told my wife b4 we moved....the only snow I ever wanna see is on my TV. Walking into a bar when the Bills SNOW game against the Dolts was on TV 3 years ago CEMENTED my decision to move here.

Warcodered Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 We go to Miami when it's hot and they come to Buffalo when it's cold might of been nice to switch that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Josh Allen loves playing Miami. Should be a close game. Will be a much tougher opponent than the Jets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be a much tougher opponent than the Jets. He does. There’ve only been 4 games vs Miami, but Josh shined in every one and is an endzone drop away from a 4-0 record. He’s made a monkey out of Kiko and raced through the Fish D every time while making mince meat of their Secondary. Things like this get into players heads. ‘I play well against this team’/‘We can’t beat this guy’. Unlike Jetnation, DolFans fear #17. It bodes well for Allen and US! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I do not think it will be a close game. I think the Dolphins are overrated. Probably better than the Jets, but that's a very low bar. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm more worried about Flores pulling his team together than I was of Gase. Still the Bills should win and they need to win the games they should win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I was at a Wild Wings place and they had the Fins game on next to the Bills game. They looked a bit sloppy against the Pats. If we get Milano and Edmunds back, I think we are fine. If not, we need Lorax. For those who kept saying Roberts was expendable, and Milano is not that important, some of the same people were complaining we might lose Milano for this game. They both are important to our team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 I think the Miami DL is going to struggle with Allen’s athleticism. I don’t want the design qb runs —but he escapes pressure . Interestingly there were no passing TDs in the Miami-Pats game and Cam was the leading rusher for Pats. I don’t really think there is a difference maker on Miami’s front 7. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanSD Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 The line is already up to 5/5.5: https://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/las-vegas/ That seems about right to me. The Bills are a much better team on paper, plus we have a huge advantage with regard to continuity. I don't expect this week's game to be any closer than last week's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I think the big issue is how do the Dolphins move the ball. I can see the Dolphins defense doing a better job against the Bills offense than the Jets did but man Devante Parker looks like he won’t play, their next best WR is probably Jakeem Grant or Preston Williams(who is coming off a knee injury). I got the Bills in a very similar score to week 1 games against the Pats. Bills 20 Dolphins 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know why this game would be any closer either, other than the Gase factor. Didn’t see the Pats-Fins, but wasn’t everyone saying the Pats were going to be in the Trevor Lawrence derby?

Coach Tuesday Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 If Parker is out this game should be a cinch. He’s the only player that causes trouble for the Bills’ D. Maybe Geiseke too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Pats attacked the phins run defense and torched em for 215 yards. Gonna need to run the ball well and let our o line feast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How they play against the Dolphins will have no bearing on how they play against the Patriots. That's not true at all. It's obviously not a one-for-one comparison, but teams matchup well or less well against certain opponents and seeing common opponents can help you know what to expect.

Albanybillsbacker Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I don’t understand how this is only a 4 point spread. Not saying the bills can’t lose this game, but it seems like they should be a bigger favorite, especially after the shellacking the patriots just dealt them.
