A lot of gloating going on here. Not a good look. The Bills could easily be in this position some day. If the Bills can't stop the run, it might be a moot point. Go Bills, but don't overlook the rest of the significant offensive talent on Miami's roster. There are PLENTY of instances, where a banged up, underdog team won a big playoff game when they were huge underdogs. It's a huge motivator for an otherwise extremely talented roster. And the Bills have been playing DOWN to the level of their inferior opponents all year... BEWARE!!!

this is going to be me watching the game, being bored because the bills are up by so much.

Phony bravado. So you'll be watching the Food Network on Sunday at 1pm? You'll more likely be posting on the game day threads claiming the Bills suck if they go down 7-0 early in the game.    

nah.  i might make pizza dough.  get some paper work done.  maybe even start cleaning the basement.  i will even say that a nap may be in play, but all will be more exciting than watching the bills play that ***** infested, weak ass miami team.

Well, certainly no excuses for the Bills, better take care of business and bury the fish early.

After seeing lousy QBs playing like dog ***** against other teams but when facing Frazier and this Bills defense, they play like absolute studs. Don't be surprised if Dolphins score on every drive. My only worry is Josh Allen can score enough points or not.

Yes, makes sense since the bills gave up the 2nd fewest points per game in the league.  Great take as usual!

Miami will play this game like they’ve already been eliminated. Watch out for opening onside kick. Fake punts. Going for it on every 4th and short. Trick plays galore. We need to be ready for that sorta stuff now. 
 

Let’s get some good mojo going on offense/defense, avoid injuries, and use this game as a springboard to Cincy and/or Chiefs. 

possibly but to me that is more like what a fan would do in fantasy football or Madden.

 

I do think they will continually go for it on 4th esp if they fall behind.

The Dolphins played us really tough this year.  Our two games were decided by a grand total of five points.  It doesn't get much more evenly-balanced than that.

 

But the Dolphins team taking the field on Sunday is a shadowy reflection of the team that we played earlier.  I would fully expect the Bills to pound the bejeezus out of any team starting its 3rd string QB against us, and that doesn't even get into all the other injuries they're dealing with.  Not worried about this game at all.  I don't care if some stranger on the internet thinks that's not a good look.  We're 13-point favorites for a reason, and if we lose at least we'll know that we probably weren't going to get past the Bengals or Chiefs either.  I expect an easy game because this one is a mismatch.

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.

Mostert is the guy that killed us, we could barely stop huim.  I think he had 17 carries and something like 120 yards plus another 25 or so receiving.  He, using the most over used and vacuous term in football, played more physical than us.

 

I dont know if he has been ruled out or not.

[RangerDave]

With Tua and Teddy out, who is backing up Skylar??  Anyone know??

17 carries for 136 yards (one run was 67 yards).

1 reception for 20 yards.

No TDs.

 

With the rookie starting, we can obviously expect to see a lot of Mostert if he can play.  Let him run between the 20s and punish the rookie QB in the red zone.  I'd be fine with that.

8  yards a carry is ridiculous, even take out the one long run it is still close to 4.5 yards a carry.

Looks like he's averaging about 5 YPC on the season.  The 17/136 was his best game.  Second best game was 18/113 against the Jets.  Those two games were his top 2 most carries in a game and most yards in a game.

 

How the hell are they not feeding him more?

They have two of the best WRs in the game. Same reason the Bills don’t run even though they have two backs with high averages.

Bc it’s Mostert… short for he’s one of the most hurt running backs in the league…

 

 

I’ll show myself out…

 

 

 

 

For real tho, dude seems like he’s always on an injury report.

Now you're taking it a little too far, unfortunately we saw this during the year and won't be surprised at all to see the Bills bend but don't break Defence again.  Brissett, Pickett's first NFL game & 300+ yards passing (yes 3 points allowed, but moved the ball), Wilson, Mac Jones....

I'm glad for Tua's sake.  With rumors of Sean Payton flying around there must be a lot of pressure on McDaniels to win this game.  I was worried he was going to try to throw Tua out there again like in the first Bills / Phins game.

I don’t think it’s entirely his choice.  My guess is that neither that the Dolphins (and maybe the NFL) just aren’t comfortable with Tua suffering 4 concussions in 4 months.   I remember after news broke Tua was back in CP, Chris Nowinski said he was done for the year and that no legitimate head trauma specialist was going to clear him this season. I’m glad that held up, because it seems like for him to play again they really would’ve had to turn a blind eye.

I remember the 1989 season finale against the Saints.

The Saints started the unheralded John Fourcade. It was a cold, snowy December afternoon against a dome team starting a journeyman QB.  Late in the game, Fourcade launched a completed pass on 4th&23, that helped put the Saints up 22-19. That was the final score, unfortunately.

Never take any opponent, lightly. Especially, a Division Rival.

I almost feel asleep reading this.  So boring…like the game will be this Sunday.

Our secondary right now vs Waddle + Hill = I wouldn't be so sure they don't both go off again. But you can pretend the dude can't do crap against us based on a few starts in the NFL. 

Go off again??

 

Waddle 

 

4/6 for 102

3/7 for 114 and 1 TD

 

Hill 

 

2/4 for 33

9/13 for 69 and 1 TD

 

Waddle burned us 1 time in each game... they've done a pretty solid job of holding these two in check. Probably the best out of anyone that has played them... and we played them with Tua both times.
