I have never seen the Bills injury stuff to one side of the ball be this bad. 

 

Literally the entire starting secondary other than the Nickel, the two best DTs, all on a pitch count or not available. 

 

This is going to be like that Niners - Bills game back in the 90s

Don't you remember when we had like 4 RBs hurt and were starting the 5th RB a few years ago? I think it might have been Allen's rookie year

 

 

I think the Bills will probably need to win a higher scoring game than initially thought of Hyde is out but I think the Bills are getting to 30 without much sweat and I don't think the Fins can get there against our D even with the injuries.

I mean do you remember when McKenzie got reps at CB.

The Dolphins not having Armstead would be the biggest impact in this game.

 

And the Dolphins D is, by far, the worst unit on the field.

 

Thats probably the biggest reason why the Bills are heavy favorites on the road.

 

Armstead has been solid in both pass and run blocking and that would be a big loss. The weak pass blocking link on that line is the center, Williams. If the Bills can get consistent pressure up the middle, it would make it more difficult for Tua to work the middle of the field in the intermediate range where Waddle has done most of his damage.

You think it’s Williams ?  Austin Jackson is pretty bad and he’s on IR and their replacement RT is even worse.  Robert hunt is bad, eichenberg is bad.  Idk why they slid Williams to center though he’s a pretty high quality guard

Yeah, Eichenberg has been pretty bad - maybe the worst over the first two games - although Hunt, Little, and Williams have all been pretty bad in obvious passing situations. Tua has relied on quick throws in the short to intermediate range. He has also done ok with the blitz, but he has really struggled when dealing with pressure from just four Dlineman.

Our secondary is gonna be hurting. If we can generate pressure with 4 and drop enough into coverage to take away obvious first reads I think the Bills have a real shot. Gonna be tricky to stop Waddle and Reek all game though. I see us giving up one, maybe two long plays for maybe TDs off of screens and dump offs. 
 

I think the Bills still take it, but wouldn’t be surprised if the Fins scored 24-28 points given their speed and how injured our defense is.

A real shot?

 

I think the Bills are scoring 30+ no matter what and I don't think the Fins are no matter what.

 

I think this is going to be a game where we end up being like "Damn...we are really really really good..." once it's all said and done.

I feel like this is going to be another game where people go "Miami is still Miami... lets see the Bills beat a real team... the real test is coming up next week"

Just listened to the Sal/Bove podcast at the gym … Bove is straight up shook ones about the Dolphins, my goodness.. 

 

Im just figuring we’re without Phillips, Hyde and Jackson .. but if we get back Oliver and Settle, let’s go.  I have confidence in the young guys and for as good as our DL has been, nobody has seen them with Von, Oliver & Rousseau out there for any meaningful time together.

well, I hope you are right! But pretty clear to Me no Dane, no Tre, no Hyde, and maybe Poyer. I think we really need Poyer, just for communication purposes. 

This - so much has been reported about how important Hyde and Poyer are to the young guys to get them in the right spots - now we will have young backups in there as well

Looks like the line is up to Bills -5.5.

 

Yeah I get that we have Allen and Diggs, but given the fact that literally our entire starting secondary is injured, I’m kinda surprised the line is still moving in favor of the Bills.  

Might be a shootout. 
Do it, Josh!

I don’t think Vegas can get anyone to bet against the Bills, as they so consistently cover the spread. 
 

after listening to many a game preview, I am worried about this game for the bills. They are the better team and will win the division, but could see them splitting with Miami given their current situation with the secondary. I remind myself that the rams lost to the niners twice last year and won the SB. Just be healthy at the right time and beat the chiefs.

Von said (multiple times) he doesn't know when we are going to blitz?

I’m with you on that. In the Predict the Record thread I surmised that the Bills would drop a division game somewhere. Given the injuries, road game, new look Fins O, etc. this seems like the most likely game for that to come true. I still think the Bills are the infinitely better team and believe they will win, but won’t be completely shocked if they drop this game. Won’t matter in the long run - Bills own this division.

Yep, completely agree. I’ve gotten comfortable that IF we lose, there are 14 more regular season games. Pretty sure the Chiefs started 1-3 (or something like that last year).  
 

We are absolutely the better team from top to bottom. I just seriously don’t think I can handle these Fins fans if they somehow pull out the W.  This is their Super Bowl right now.

I believe this will be one of our finest hours.  Even with the anticipated missing starters on D, the backups will rise up.

 

If you are listening you can hear rising voices start singing...

 

 

We are not throwing away our shot...

We will...

Rise up

When you're living on your knees, you rise up

Tell your brother that he's gotta rise up

When are these backups gonna rise up? (Whoa, whoa)

When is Ja'quan gonna rise up? (Whoa)

When is Benford gonna rise up? (Whoa)

When is Elam gonna rise up?

Rise up, rise up!

Rise up, rise up!

Rise up, rise up!

 

We are NOT THROWING AWAY OUR SHOT!

I was thinking more of Ed Harris in Apollo 13, but in honor of my daughters who both have been in tons of musicals I’ll take Hamilton!

Sounds like some guys are already resigning themselves to us losing.  Yeah they have some scary receivers.  Yeah our D is banged up in the secondary and a little on the line.  We still have an offense too guys.  We still have Josh Allen.  We still have Diggs.  Gabe might be back.  We still have Knox I think.  We still have some good slot guys.  Stop being so scared of losing because Tua lol.
