Thompson will get rid of the ball in 2 seconds, a la Wilson. It will be their only shot on offense. Better be ready to make some form tackles in the open field 

Any updates on Waddle?  I'm assuming he plays.  No matter who's back there at QB, it only takes one catch for Waddle or Hill to score on any given play if they find an opening.  That's why I'm not underestimating this game.

So that McDaniel guy basically ruined Tua's career and health to win a September game against the Bills.

To be fair, I believe the Doc that cleared Tua was fired after that mess.  I don't really blame the coach if the docs told them he was good to go.

Its just discussion. Have to talk about something. The Bills definitely should and I think will win this game. The point is MIA is still a good team. If they get the running game going they can keep it close. 

Yup I get it. I just don’t want people to start thinking man we might be in a tough spot here. This is as easy as it’ll ever get in the playoffs for us this year and in many years to come. We should win by 3 scores (17ish pts).

So we get a first round bye after all 😂

 

What if the Bills end up winning the Super Bowl but our opponents starting QB goes down in their matchup that week and we end up playing the backup every game?  

 

 

Then the football gods have shined upon us and we shall be forever thankful.

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...

The phish average over 7.5 yrds a carry against the Bills front; Buffalo's ballcarriers averaged less than half of that.

We trailed by 8 in that game with less than 10:00 left and if Ma Nature had not started firing snowballs in Miami's grill, we may have lost to them.

If McCarthy had not lost his mind and started chucking the ball around while they were successfully hammering it down our throat, we would have lost to them.

I agree there is potential for a big win here, but there is also some potential for the Bills to walk out there overconfident, get pushed around and find themselves in the kind of dog fight they weren't prepared for coming in.

I don’t think McDaniel trusts his offense to pick up tough yards on the ground on obvious running downs though so it’s not quite as simple as ‘if they just ran the ball on those red zone plays they would’ve won’.

 

 A lot of their shtick is they frequently pass out of heavy formations and most teams play them with pretty light boxes to respect the pass but the closer they get to the end zone the less you have to worry about tyreek/waddle taking the top off the defense so things get jammed up more closer to the line of scrimmage.  So between the 20s they’re pretty much being given free yards if they want to try to run the football but things get a lot harder in the red zone.  And if their threat to pass isn’t as strong, they will have a lot more trouble running the football.   
 

also if they’re missing armstead and shell, their offensive line won’t get the push to run or pass.

In fairness that Jags team was expansion in the loosest sense. There was an expansion draft and they were given top draft spots in each round. No way they should have been taken lightly as that roster was stacked with veteran players.

Pretty much. It's why I have no sympathy for the Phins. 

 

Rather than take an L for the safety of your QB they rushed him back and then took him out on a short week where he got brained

I get the consternation, but could you imagine the thread and comments on this board if KC was matched up with  MIA in their current state ? 

I'd be praying for a miracle and cheering my butt off for the Fish (yuck)!!!

Don't worry.  Everyone over at chiefsplanet is saying that we had 2 bye weeks at the end of the season (Cincy and now vs Miami).

And the league gift wrapped them a bye so I don't know what they're on about.
