Utah John Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Even if Miami loses this Sunday, if they beat the Bills later on, they still win the division. Even if Miami wins this Sunday, if the Bills beat them, the Bills win the division. Assuming both teams win out otherwise. So this week's Miami game isn't as critical as the KC-Cincinnati game, which is probably the Bill's last best hope for getting home field through the playoffs.

All of that is of course true but remember the season doesn’t end on Sunday. We want these teams to pile up losses everywhere they can get them. You never know what’s going to happen or what tiebreakers are going to come into play down the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Bengals Chiefs is most important. I am confident the Bills will handle the other divisional games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have an amazing pass rush and a very good secondary… their weakness is a meh to god awful O. the truth is 3 of the next 4 games will be rather tough games for the Bills.. and the 1 lay up could be hard if their starting QB is back. So hardly an easy run for the Bills. I’ve got the same evaluation for the jets game as I had pre pats game lol…if edmunds and Milano play the jets won’t win…barring mike white being a hidden gem of course. Jets just went after the bills depth linebackers all game last game. They would not have cracked double digits if edmunds and poyer played. bills won’t be firing on all cylinders on offense if Dawkins/quessenberry are out but they should win comfortably Miami is honestly not a bad matchup for us…unless they have really sorted their defense out which may or may not be the case. It took the bills being down 5 offensive linemen for them to generate any kind of pressure last game. They’ve also lost armstead for several weeks minimum which is a huge loss The bills had a really quirky schedule…lots of injuries early and the three road division games came before any home division games. I’d be pretty surprised if they don’t finish 2-1 or better in their last 3 division games it’s possible the dolphins have just been buoyed by a stretch of pretty easy games and they lose two or three down the stretch. Or they could be the dominant team people think they might be. Should be a fun finish Edited December 2, 2022 by Generic_Bills_Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 Miami's remaining schedule isn't all that tough...after Sunday away at the 49ers. LA Chargers (A) Buffalo (A)...this one of course Green Bay (H) New England (A) NY Jets (H) But....on any given Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their pass rush is better than NE and well the Pats were living in the backfield all night. Yes I know Allen can make plays on the run but their secondary is also LIGHT YEARS better than NE. This game IMO will be won or lost by Buffalos D because the Jets O is not as good as NE, that or they are still hexed by BB. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really you don't see a potential loss in that group? I don't think it's far-fetched to come up with a scenario where they lose three of those five. I'm not saying it's likely, I would say 3-2 is most likely, but I'm not sold on Miami to the point that them going 4-1 in the last 5 is a given. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I definitely don’t disagree with what you’re saying are the strengths of the jets…but the bills defense without scrubs starting at lb/in the secondary is getting downplayed pretty hard in your assessment imo. We got quite a few big time defensive players back for the NE game. bills will probably win it in similar fashion to the pats game score wise…I’m expecting low 20s to low 10s.

gtw3 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I said a few weeks ago in a different thread (perhaps after the Jets game, cant really remember) that by the end of week 13 the Bills would be the number 1 seed in the AFC again. We just needed to take care of business with our schedule. Granted, I thought the Chiefs were going to lose the game to the Chargers for that to happen and I thought the Fins would be riding into SF as the number 1 seed, rife for a reality check. But the end result will be the same. Go Bengals LFG 49ers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t recall a weekend where the schedule lines up quite as nicely as it does for the Bills…at least on paper anyway. All of the contenders (with the exception of Baltimore) are playing difficult road games. All are underdogs except the Chiefs who are barely favored in Cincinnati. Jets at Vikings Titans at Eagles Dolphins at 49ers Chiefs at Bengals Chargers at Raiders Could the Bills ‘lap the field’? Let’s hope so! The interesting part is that the teams that we want to lose are ALL on the road and playing tough teams. A win for them is not a given. All of them except the Chargers could lose on Sunday. 4 hours ago, inaugural balls said: There's 2 losses in there somewhere The Dolphins are playing THREE straight road games with two WC road trips before they come to Orchard park. I think the two losses might be right there in this 3-game road trip. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe I am telling you this but that Pats* Miami game is not gonna be a walk in the park in Foxboro with the weather. Then the Jets will likely want to smash them in week 18, but I do agree that Miami should be favored each week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlgarsh Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I'm a Marlins fan, so I have some overlap with Dolphins twitter. Need to go check what they're saying. Was at a movie so just got home a couple minutes ago. Bet they're not taking it well though, if I had to guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
