If it’s defense we either make a statement and shut them down or we let them walk down the field.

 

if it’s offense we either make a statement and come out focused with a long drive or go 3 and out.

 

If the focused Bills come out we win.  If the unfocused team shows up forget it.

 

I don't agree. The D actually has done a good job adjusting over the last month.  Miami scoring the first drive doesn't mean a thing.  While it would be concerning if the offense doesn't come out smoking at the gate, it also doesn't mean anything.  The offense has had slow starts before and picked it up.  Similarly, both have had fast starts and then broke later in the game.

 

I do agree if the unfocused team shows up forget it though.

Miami looked to have no problems on their opening 2 drives then completely fizzled out. I’m sure our defense is almost as capable as Baltimore’s. 
 

Regardless what happens in the first series, I hope they make changes from being in a hole.

If that passing game shows up from yesterday Miami will beat the living hell out of this team. That was absolute garbage. 

And if the Miami pass defense from yesterday shows up, where Raven receivers were high school wide open, the Bills will beat the hell out of the Dolphins.  It's a week to week league and what happened last week seldom impacts what happens the following week except fr injuries and the Finns seem to have had more then the Bills did.

Haven't found anything about this.  Assuming the Bills win next week does Miami fall to #5 or #6 behind Cleveland if Cleveland also lost?  Records would be the same and they didn't play each other.  Cleveland has a better conference record, but not certain that is next tie breaker for wild card seeding.

 

If so then 2nd weekend likely could have either KC or Miami in Buffalo assuming Bills win 1st weekend.

Yes Miami would be the 6 if they lose and would go to KC

This is just wrong.   In week 3 the Dolphins scored TD's on their first 2 possessions and then 6 more points the rest of the way.  

We weren’t the team then that we appear to be now.  Something seems to be off when you watch how they started the last two weeks.

On ESPN, Rex says he trusts Josh Allen vs Miami, but he has no trust with the rest of the team especially the offense. He doesn’t know who else will show up and play big for the Bills.  Orlovsky says Kincaid and Diggs need to have big games (combine for 170+ yards)

They're sports analysts so they have to come up with an angle the Bills need to go with, the reality is the Bills just have to find a way it doesn't matter which one just find one. Same as every week find the way to do it don't care how we do it if it's pretty or ugly it just needs to be done, grab this team we're playing drag them down and smother the life out of them.

Have Dolphins already clinched a playoff spot?

They got it when kicked those 5 FGs to win the Fraud Bowl against Dallas.

You didn't watch the Ravens game yesterday. The Phins came out smoking, looked unstoppable the first two possessions, like the Ravens weren't trying. Then the Ravens shut them down and turned on the offense. Partly a feature of McDaniel's scripted offense.

I agree with that.  But one drive will not define next week.

Or we run back the kick off for a TD

or  or or or an endless stream of others options occur…,

We can’t come out as lethargic as we have the last 2 weeks

That would be similar to our first Fish game.  But to me the Bills are not the same team.  The lethargy especially on offense starting the last two games is a concern.

Have the Dolphins ever won a key matchup against the Bills since the Kelly era when both teams were good? Like in the playoffs or situation like this late in the year to decide the AFC East or a win and in scenario for one of the teams?  I can't recall them ever having done so.

Dolphins are 6-1? At home...but they have only beaten one team with a winning record all year (Cowboys)

 

It should be a tough game, but Im reading a lot of Dolphins are banged up from the Ravens game?
