Weren't all those games on the road as well?

Just as relevant is Miami coming off the time change…

 

Honestly this probably falls into the lies, damned lies, and statistics category.

 

Does anyone know Buffalo’s record when the corgi races are run at halftime ? 

Expand  

I don’t know. This one makes sense. 
 

That Jags game…

From what I think I know of Josh Allen, I bet that he would LOVE to know about this so he can figure out how to prevent this problem moving forward.  For example, how to prepare your mind and body for that time change. 
 

Hope somebody close to the team get this info to the right people.

Well he’s preparing for the time change by hanging out in a suite at Yankee stadium tonight watching Game 4.

Oh-oh, slow starts coming this Sunday...

 

I assume Tua is buried with Bills films while Josh is sitting in Yankee stadium after his Halloween party

It’s his one day off and it’s a short flight, especially since he can charter a private jet on his 60 million dollar salary. I don’t think he’s flying Jet Blue.

 

The night before he held a Halloween party for the team at a pub in Orchard Park. Mental health is wealth.

Edit: not to mention he’s clearly a good luck charm for the Yankees…

If a Halloween party days before the game and a change of clocks have that much impact on our MVP front-runner QB … then we have other things to worry about.

Anyone watch their game against the cardinals? Tua improves that team a ton. We are better, but it's not the Skyler Thompson fins.

[Walking Tall]

Tua’s first road game of the year.

Yeah, I watched it. There was absolutely NOTHING scary about Miami. Tua has started 3 games. The terrible Jaguars fumbled away the first one. The Bills put their foot up Miami’s ass in the 2nd one, and they got beat by the Cardinals in the 3rd one. All at home. Miami is not a good football team. Sure, upsets happen but the Bills will shred that Miami defense once again this Sunday.

Haha! Fair, as did I. That comment probably came across as more negative than intended. A better way to word it would be that I'm surprised at Tua's impact on their team

Tua is very accurate and has good timing but once that timing is thrown off he breaks down 

 

he is a perfect fit for that offense the problem is when they get down or play a decent defense he tends to fold 

 

I think it was dumb they paid him but they went all in and really had no choice same reason they extended McDaniel

I watched, too. They look like the Dolphins we know. Fast. Lots of motion. Quick strikes. Achane is good. 
 

But as we all know they are not a tough or physical team. Tua is as fragile as they come. The more pressure on him the less accurate and more wild his throws become. Lucky for him the Cardinals (please correct me if I’m wrong) are near the bottom of the league in getting pressure on the QB.

 

I suspect the priority for McDaniel the rest of the season will be to get the ball out of Tua’s hands as quickly as possible.

 

If Buffalo’s D gets some momentum it’s going to be another miserable day for the Dolphins. If the Dolphins O gets in rhythm, it will be a close game.

Straight from the horses (dolphins) mouth 

Yesterday at 9:58 AM

Miami never wins in Buffalo, not sure why there is this delusional impulse to feel a win coming just because it would be so impractical. Better odds of being attacked by a shark and hit by lightening on the same day while sitting on your couch. Miami will go down in flames, likely in highly embarrassing fashion,  it's a rite of fall passage, it's how I know the clock's turning to November.

I'm just hoping Tua doesn't get injured against us yet again...

 

It's bad enough to watch him go through all those concussions, but 2 of them have been against the Bills. For the love of god, SLIDE TUA!

At what point does Tua become a charity case? Will the thought: “Let’s not hit him hard because we don’t want to be responsible for his progressive brain damage,” start to creep into defenders’ heads?  I imagine seeing him unconscious on the field with that weird rigor mortis thing is unpleasant for all involved .

 
Yet he announced to the world that he loves football to the “d**** of me.”

 

It feels morbid even to type it. This is such a weird matchup.

 

The standard goal should be to hit him clean, but hit him hard. Pass rushers are predatory athletes by nature.

[Pete]

I think we are going to run The Chef and Ray Davis down their throats.  300 yards rushing, and Miami waves white flag in 3rd quarter

You are missing the point that the Dolphins almost took down the mighty Cardinals.  It would have been as big an upset as Buster Douglas beating Mike Tyson.

Am I crazy for thinking they should give Shakir 10 WR screens a game?
