I miss Kohou already.

He's a guaranteed completion for Allen and Josh knows it.

Have to stay focused.  Not going to be easy and no time for a letdown.

Thanks for posting.  Weaver was a pleasure to listen to, despite the loaf of bread comment.  He's postive, animated, intelligent.  Had a lot of nice things to say about Bills players that seemed very genuine.

Yes, Weaver is good to listen to.  His overall comments were super complimentary about the Bills offense and players - it goes to show that you shouldn't just take the headline clickbait (on Josh) which was not meant in the way the coverage pinned it up to be.

That's what I tell myself every night...

...well, 2-3 nights a week anyway...

...ok fine, a couple times a month...

They are not going to lay down this Sunday. As many pointed out, their season is on the line. And they are familiar with the Bills. I'm fully expecting some surprises McDaniel to throw some wrinkles at us. Their offense is at full strength and I do expect Tua to play better than the week 2 game - that was a really odd game for him who crapped the bed from the get-go.

 

From fan and maybe the team perspective, the best way to describe the match-up is like how the 2000s era Bills team went to Foxborough, even in first 2 years when we got Josh Allen. No matter how good we felt about ourselves, you knew going there you are facing that QB, that defense mastermind that were just better than you in the end. The only time your hope was up or the players' confidence was up is when that team showed signs of self destruct, penalties that was not able to recover, turnovers.

So with all of the dolphins injuries, what does their 11 on D look like?

Yep, seems to be a lot of overconfidence going on. I can't get the Bengals playoff game out of mind where most of their offensive line was out and we never touched him.

[njbuff]

Even if the Dolphins D was completely healthy, they STILL aren’t good.

[balln]

i think mostert was the only OFF starter that didnt play week 2. with a tackle and tua getting hurt and leaving during the game?

[AmishRifle]

Game plan: Run the ball!!!

Excellent news.  Was a specific update given on Cooper?

Sounded more like they were on the positive side of questionable though.  JMO.

Can someone tell me how we are going to win without Reggie Gilliam?

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

I will never again say that the Bills have anything in the bag, but the Bills have numerous advantages: they're getting healthy while the Phins are backed up, the system matchup still favors Buffalo, Davis and Keon have broken out and Cooper should be getting into a groove.

While that stinks, I think if he plays, and is on the field, he needs to be accounted for by the defense which allows others to be involved. He's not a Tyreek type guy obviously that you have to lose sleep over with his speed, but I think if he is out there on the field it helps a lot for Coleman and Shakir.
