Success Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 We're the best team in the league. Miami is where we were at about 3 years ago, with a QB whose ceiling is a lot lower than Allen's. On the road, sure they can win. But I think this year's Bills team is a very different animal. I think they're going to embrace the challenge of having half the D out, and the backups will play at a very high level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dablitzkrieg Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 It's going to be amazing to poke fun at the Fish for losing to second stringers. In all seriousness, if Poyer is out, I would be worried, but hopefully we can contain the WR's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 44 minutes ago, NewEra said: Yeah, he’s been amazing- I just left him off because he will likely be playing the 1T- if I’m the fins, I’d be doubling him over everyone else inside. It's looked to me like he'd actually been drawing quite a few doubles already in the first couple games so things might not change much for him. I wonder if opposing coaches who are actually watching film are seeing him playing even better than we've been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point of if the Bills are true SB contenders, their backups need to step at times like these, or their not going to make it to the big game. Just a fact.

GunnerBill Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 1 hour ago, Einstein said: Ed Oliver went from "Probable to return" in game 1, to out in Game's 2 and 3. What in the world!? He did return in week 1. Played 2 snaps early 2nd half, could not push off the ankle at all and went out again. At the point he was downgraded to out. Ankle injuries for guys who need an explosive get off are no joke. Personally I'd still be surprised if Gabe played for the same reason. If he does he will be on a limited pitch count. We have had good injury fortune the past couple of years, the start of this year has been rough. From the setback with Tre onward. We could end up down 7 major contributors on defense for Sunday.

The Dolpins schedule is exactly the same as the Bills schedule save for 3 position dictated opponents from the AFC West, AFC South and NFC West. The Bills have already played two of their differential games and are 2-0. The remaining difference is Bills @ KC and Dolphins @ Chargers. I'd suggest similar degrees of difficulty. So no, that isn't "another realistic comment" it is nonsense. The Dolphins are a good team. They will be a challenge for the Bills with our injuries. But they do not have a schedule advantage and they are 1-7 in their last 8 meetings with Buffalo. Even a split this year still gives them ground to make up.

Then please accept my most sincere apologies. There seem to be a few people lately that are Phins fans posing as Bills fans. Maybe I saw a few posts of yours that I perceived as questionable and lumped you in that category. Again, my apologies for taking the low road. I understand your point that backups need to step up… but this really is a lot of backups at once. I don’t totally agree that the Bills need to win this game to maintain relevance. Trying to keep things in perspective that we’re in week 3 of 17. So much can happen. Even if the dolphins win this game, I believe we are still the better team, now, and for the rest of the season. There will be a ton of media talk, and dolphins fans would be talking a lot of crap… but I think come the second half of the season, the cream will rise to the top. That said, I’m definitely concerned about the injuries we have. It’s probably the most significant injury list I can ever remember seeing in terms of starters. Would hate to have injuries derail this team, because it truly is a special team. To me, almost seems like more pressure on Miami to win given the situation. But if Buffalo can pull it off (and this is very realistic!) what a statement win it would be. If not, we’ll get healthy and will be back to destroying teams again in no time. Bottom line, long term I think we’re money, win or lose on Sunday. Enjoy the game my friend - I’ll be in Miami cheering loudly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt that be against NFL rules? When hurting a body part, evaluating the following day is a part of the process. Things can change overnight, like swelling. Your making something so simple very complicated. It’s the first game of the season, Ed’s fired up and probably said he could a still play if they needed him, but he is kept out. After evaluating the next day, the severity of the injury is determined to be such, that multiple weeks are needed to fully heal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tua/Tyreek/Jalen are firing on all cylinders...plus they have Gelsiki at TE and Mostert/Chase in the backfield...that is a pretty good offense that could match against our offense due to our depleted defense.

McBean seemed satisfied with the CB situation when they didn't sign Poyer long term. I remember the Bucs, Chiefs, Eagles winning recent SB's with critical injuries to key players. If the Bills are good, then their secondary players need to be good as well. Bills should win. If they don't, they'll be chasing Miami the next few months. Not a good look for a consensus SB favorite. Bills must win to maintain credibility. I believe they will. If not, the Dolphins are better at this juncture... Period. When you have such important players on the sidelined with the talent of Gabe, Oliver, Micah, Phillips, & Jackson, that is a real tough obstacle to overcome. No matter who you play. I just hope that the our rookie CB's truly play out of their minds this weekend with some attitude, play smart and don't take any crap from Hill and Waddle. If our D plays like they did in the first two games, then Josh and the O will put this game away for us. The D front line has to swab the deck with TUA in this game. I want see Tua and his sorry ass running for his life in this game, and hope Von goes wild this sunday.

I’m still picking them to win by at least two touchdowns by the end. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully a timeshare of Settle, Rousseau, and Basham? More likely is Jones, Bryant, and/or Brewer rotating through that alignment. Admittedly, I don't know squat about where Bryant and Brewer fit best. Settle seems like a guy who can play the 3-tech when he's healthy. Jones seems like a guy who can play anywhere on the line, given his early impact this season. I remember Bryant flashing in preseason. He played a TON.
