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.

Big Turk Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 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?

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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generic_Bills_Fan Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) 36 minutes ago, Simon said: 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.

dpberr Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Dolphins will run the ball, run it some more, and make the Bills defense stop it.

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.

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.

Cray51 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 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.

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.

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
