Patrick Duffy Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Sucks but I think we will still be ok. I doubt the Fins will be able to contain this offense. Hopefully get the LB'ers back by next week, at least one of them hopefully. Damn, seems like MM is getting hurt more and more. Definitely want both back by the time the Chiefs game comes around.

BuffaloBillies Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Keep the Bills defense off the field again. Last week Bills DOMINATED in time of possession (41 minutes!). Get close to that again, and no worries. Slow, steady Bills offensive drives down the field each time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBob Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 1 hour ago, No_Matter_What said: Agreed. We were extremely lucky with injuries last year and people overestimated influence of our facilities imo - I guess it might play a big role, but luck / variance has lot of influence too. And we couldn't expect it to last forever. To be fair, no one was able to access those overestimated facilities this year until training camp time.

gordong Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Miami is not as good as the Jets on defense not even close... and we are light years better than both..even without 2 LBs. we hung 27 on the jets defense and the only guy that did anything on the ground was josh... Another game the bills win going away. Josh might have another 300yrds but Might be close because we will run more... Especially early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Last year and this offseason, my biggest concern as far as depth was/is the LB position. Much more there than DB, OL, RB, etc. That said, I trust that Beane and McDermott know what they're doing and if they thought that the guys we have (such as Dodson) were good enough, perhaps we were/are OK. We'll find out on Sunday. We should still be able to score enough points to beat the Fish, but losing two key defenders will help Miami's offense and the game will be close than it would have been if Edmonds and Milano were playing.

Burn 7-10 minutes each drive (and come away with points). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theRalph Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 It's week 2 and it's a smart move. Might just as well get a feel for the depth. Klein is a talent and will be fine, and it sounds like Dodson will play. This will be a good test for the rotating DLine...they need to take advantage of two rookie 'Fins starters. Sal is right. I still hate Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Will be interesting to see how they scheme without our TWO(!?) studs in the middle. Fortunately Miami doesn't have any semblance of a run game at this point. Think we'll be just fine especially since our offense should now be able to shoulder the load.

Hell, we still don’t even really know the extent of these injuries. Gimme Rex in this regard -and Every other coach, for that matter.. 🤬 I'm not sure why his coyness really matters. Is it just a matter of being upset because you don't have the information you want? Wouldn't you want opposing teams to NOT know what was going on or who was coming in?

This is a must-win game for Miami, home opener, veteran QB, and an OC who loves the screen game - not ideal to be missing your top two LBs. Just need to score a bunch of points I guess. Wouldn’t kill McDermott to have to trust his offense to win an early-season road game against a divisional opponent - goes against all of his natural instincts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
