Mikie2times Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 12 minutes ago, Dr.Sack said: Winning the AFC East and booting us from the playoffs is Miami’s Super Bowl. I could see that as well. I don't see any possibility they can go all in and win in the Wild Card. It will be difficult for us even TBH. This is going to be such a physical game unless we open a wound early like last time.

If anyone is banged up maybe they decide not to rush them back so they are ready for the playoffs They are guaranteed in the playoffs already…and if they win and we still make the playoffs we are likely gonna see them again 19 minutes ago, Dr.Sack said: Winning the AFC East and booting us from the playoffs is Miami’s Super Bowl. I think they see the superbowl as their superbowl tbh lol. They won’t be in a hurry to rush back banged up players with the playoffs already clinched imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 57 minutes ago, 78thealltimegreat said: Prepare like you fully expect everyone to play cause this is it. There isn’t a tomorrow What makes you think the team isn't going to do that? The only people discussing false "motivations" are fans in this thread. For some reason, sports fans always feel a need to invent psychological explanations for things. Pro football players just go out and play hard. No room or need for special story lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose, we lose. But no way am I just bowing down to that team like a scared puppy under the kitchen table.

I feel bad for the players but the Dolphins were idiots for keeping them in there that long The Dolphins organization plays incredibly loose with their player health and safety.

zow2 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Miami will go hard. They want to win the AFC East and 2 seed, BUT, no one can convince me they will be as desperate as Buffalo (assuming Pitt and Jax win their games). And that desperation will separate the teams at the end. Allen will be able to spin the ball much better in mid-70’s weather down there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 They're far more banged-up than when the Bills first played them, the game will be at night so no heat factor, the Dols are a good team and hated rival so the Bills will be up for the game and there will likely be a ton of Bills fans.

BBFL Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) They likely won’t, so one can only hope, but it’d be nice if they just take the locked playoff seed and prevent guys from potentially getting hired again if they fall behind big. Likelihood with what’s at stake the game will be flexed to the Primetime spot. 😛 Edited January 1 by BBFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure seemed like it at the time but now that the season has played out, you are correct. In fact, I’d put it to you that the Bills D is really only down Milano (and our replacements have done fine). Rasul Douglas has actually been better that post-injury Tre White.
