I hope so. We are 9th in passing yards allowed this season... and that's with one less game. 

 

Average we are 15th, but only 14 more yards than what the 7th place Chargers allow in a normal game. Can't help to think a lot of those yards came in garbage time(Browns especially). QB Rating we are 4th or 5th best.

 

More importantly points allowed we are 2nd.

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

 

Zach Wilson's numbers in that game.........

18-25, 154 yards 1 td, 0 int

24 yards rushing.

 

Is there an alternate Bills/Jets game with Wilson that you're referring to?

Miami still has speedy WR's and if Skyler is on it could still be a long day for the Bills.. Our D is bend don't break and lots of injuries.

 

Nothing should be taken for granted... I won't feel comfortable till we are up by 4 scores 

And Josh Mite throw 17 interceptions and we lose lol 

 

The chances of skylar Thompson being good enough to beat the bills at the Ralph where they are 12-1 is slim to none 

 

If they got 2 kick returns a pick six and a fumble 6 it might be close 

 

They will be lucky to score 17

I don't like over-confidence and neither do the football gods. The Dolphins, a division rival with nothing to lose, still have a roster of NFL players and the Bills, at times, play down to their competition.

 

I believe the Bills will win. But I will not get cocky about this game.

People talking about this like the only loss for the Fins is at QB. Look upthread. Their entire OL is not practicing and a bunch of those guys are not expected to play. Mostert is also most likely out. 

 

Off topic: I wanted to reply to a post here with this but I realized in retrospect that it may come off as an ad hominem attack. I'll post the video anyway

Why would you expect those to happen?  I think it is far more likely the Bills go in at halftime with a 3 score lead than it being a close game.


I don’t expect it, but it could happen. This isn’t an auto win. Dolphins are more physical and can control the clock. Waddle/Hill can still run circles around this secondary. Allen is Allen.

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

    

   Heck if any fans even know if he has his health currently.  He may have some lingering symptoms that may not clear up anytime soon or ever even now.  

  

   Big difference how his initial concussion was handled and he may be exhibiting permanent symptoms even at this relatively young age.

 

   Not likely we'd learn of any such issue unless he does retire and states a cause even in general terms of not wanting to rehab all the time.

I agree that the Bills sometimes play down to the competition in the regular season, where a couple losses don't mean much (in terms of elimination), but the playoffs are a completely different animal. No way imo do the Bills play down to the comp starting now.

I think the point is that in that snapshot of time, Wilson outplayed Allen.

I'm sure the NFL wants Bills vs Bengals but the league has to hate that Lamar and Tua are out and essentially making two playoff games totally non competitive. I mean that's part of the price you pay when you expand the playoff field and add a 17th game but 3 of the 6 games this weekend may not be within 10 points and one is Daniel Jones vs Kirk Cousins. Not sure what they can do to prevent this but this is kind of an unappealing playoff weekend if you aren't a fan of one of the teams

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). 

And what is the discussion going into the Cinci game if we only beat MIA 20-14?
