Are you old enough to remember 1981 when St.Louis Cardinals rookie Neil Lomax took over for a veteran Jim Hart.

 

How well did that game go for the previous year's AFCeast Champion Bills? I believe they were shut out.

 

There's always a star in the making. Take nobody lightly...

 

How about the Bills-Jags O.Park playoff game.

 

Haven't we learned our lesson...

 

That wasn't a rookie QB in that game, that was veteran Mark Brunell who had a very good season that year and Natrone Means "Business" really hurt us.  Please don't even try and give me some nonsense about Skylar Thompson coming in here with his 67 yards per game average and 27 QB Rating in the several games he has played this year and beating the Bills. It isn't happening unless the Bills literally allow 2-3 defensive/ST TD's to the Fins.

I expect Miami to come out really strong in the 1st quarter.  Lots of run and play action, try to bully the dline.  Will be important to try to get stops early.  Let Allen get the offense up by 10 by half, and then force Skylar Thompson to throw against our coverage.  If we execute, there is not reason why we dont win this game by double digits.  If we turn the ball over, or drops force punts, we may see a closer game then we all want.

I expect them to go 3 and out 2 or 3 straight times.

Trap game for Buffalo?  I suspect not but man - I hope they stay very focused.

 

Are you f**king serious?  

 

Firstly, they don't exist, even in the regular season.  But the playoffs?  C'mon man...you can't be serious.

Will they finally force Buffalo out of it's base nickel D?   Miami could very well could run the ball every single play.   

I think a lot of that depends on if Mostert is able to play.  He had surgery on Monday from what was reported and was out of practice today.

 

Wilson is a capable back, but I don't think he's necessarily in the same category as Mostert.  I'm sure they'll most likely start in their base Nickel and see how it goes.

well, at least Tua will have his health.  

Hopefully he still has his health and hasn't done permanent damage.  If he never plays again, he should get hush money from the Dolphins and/or NFL for putting him back in the Bills game and/or playing the following week where he got concussed again.

A lot remains to be seen. Who knows how he'll be in 10 years or so.

Agreed

Skylar can still go 34-40, 4TDs, 380 yards,  and 0 INT. Remember Zach Wilson against this Bills defense?

 

 

Based on what? His previous results? Zach Wilson threw for barely over 150 yards.  My God...it is so sad to see how people have zero perspective of what "normal" looks like in the NFL because we have been so spoiled for so long on defense here, especially pass defense...the Bills are exactly 15th in pass defense this year in terms of yards given up.  slightly above league average.  They give up about 14 more yards per game than the Chargers who are ranked 7th.  Point is, there isn't much difference that separates teams in the top 10 and the Bills.  Bills are 4th or 5th lowest in terms of QB Rating against. Stop acting like they are giving up 500 yards a game every game.

This should be an absolute blood bath (score wise) but I'll still have raging anxiety come Sunday at 1

 

I wouldn't sleep on Skyler Thompson when he was 100%. 

 

I watched him play at Kansas State and the dude can ball. He was like Brock Purdy in the Big XII.

Setbacks? 

I understand a QB with a broken finger on their throwing hand not being able to play. That is super easy. 

But setbacks? There are no more games if you don't win and a broken finger is a reasonable injury to "come back" from in the offseason. 

McDaniels pressers are always filled with strange phrasing and long winded non-replies. He’s weird.

 

sorry about these random boxes below:

You're actually right. People giving you ***** for it never watched him in college. I'm sure people would also make fun of Brock Purdy before he started for the 9'ers.
