If we lose to the 'Phins this Sunday playing backups at key positions, they make the playoffs, we get them in the 1st round without them having Fitz and we proceed to thrash them for our first playoff win this millennium?

I don’t post BS stuff. my friends friend is good friends friends with Fitz. Still is friends with him. He lived across the street from him. I got this text from him to me a group of buddies we share this a few hours before it was known but I waited till I saw a second source when WGR retweeted a Miami beat reports tweet about him out of practice. ive asked the mod to re open and merge the thread but for some reason he won’t. 1 minute ago, Fan in Chicago said: Soooo....

That being said it makes the game more interesting. make sure the rest of that team is clean. they could crush our season by infecting a bunch of our starters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, without getting into Covid science stuff, I’ll just say this situation kind of scares me when you have a positive on the opposition a few days before playing them. Especially considering the playoffs begin next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for our guys, remember when Bruuuuce didn't get a flu shot and was was sick for the 1988 Championship game? I hate for these things to be determined by injury/illness. FWIW, i saw a report recently that said there has not been one case of a player with Covid traced back to an outdoor football game. That includes college and NFL. These guys are spreading it by being indoors in enclosed rooms together with someone who unknowingly has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying we want him going off for 4 TDs and 300 yards but maybe just don't call a game plan that really brings the pressure, particularly if it's the second half and we already have two score lead. Give them hope for next season so the Dolphins don't see a need to give him the Josh Rosen treatment. You think Barkley is going to give us a two score lead against a tough defense? And the Tua disrespect here is a bit over the top. He has a winning record and can be very efficient. If our starters don’t play to win, this will not be a cakewalk...

zow2 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 With regards to Tua, just remember how many people who are "experts" on NFL matters simply dismissed Josh Allen after his first season. Heck Terry Bradshaw still insists that a QB's completion % out of college never gets better... Aikman is suspicious too, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our B Defense is playing and they hand off 49 times, I can see us losing a 13-10 game. They have a solid D and Barkley + back up ain't gonna scare them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If bills lose to Miami, the Dolphins clinch the 5 seed so the bills would have no chance of playing them in the first round. If the bills beat the Dolphins, then the Dolphins probably either finish 7th or even miss the playoffs.

Yeah, here's my idea of the McD gameplan: - Play Allen to start- he gives us a two TD lead because he's god-tier right now. Bench him. Barkley is probably good for 10 points. Sic the D on Tua and let him flounder around phins up like a beached mammal in the snow. Should be enough for a win, even against backups on D. That's the plan anyway.

Saint Doug Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I don’t like this headline. I don’t want the Bills facing any team that is having Covid problems. Now is not the time. And if it is truly going around the Miami team, I want all Bills starters watching from home on Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the plan anyway. I like the positive thoughts . But to score two Tds on 2 drives against one of the best defences in the league, in bad weather, is pretty optimistic. I am not saying the Bills can’t do it. But Miami has a damn good defence with everything to play for. Remember as well the bills probably won’t give their A game plans away. Cause if they do beat Miami, there’s a chance they got to play them in the wild card round. Edited December 31, 2020 by BillsFan130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that happens, Tua being demoralized. I thought the Patriots might make it a game, but we just crushed them under our boot like a spent cigarette. Now, granted, the Dolphins are a much better team, but we're predators on the prowl and we won't give Tua any quarter, no matter starters or what. As long as Allen plays a half, I'm confident we win this game. 2 minutes ago, BillsFan130 said: I like the positive thoughts .

And anyway, who said two drives? A half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
