Divisional game.  You know the drill.

 

Throw everything you think you know out the window.

 

Except that Josh Allen has won the most player of the Week awards against the Dolphins than any other team and since 2019 he averages 308 yards against them with 32 TDs and 5 INTs, completing 67.2% of his passes with a 111.4 passer rating.

 

In those 12 games Allen has had over a 100 passer rating 9 times, over a 94 passer rating 2 more times and only 1 time with a passer rating below 80.

Essentially Allen plays his best games against the Dolphins over his career.

Somebody believes in the Fish.

 

 Ocho Cinco believes the Miami Dolphins will defeat the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night:

Josh Allen is going to come out and just steal their soul from them in the first half.

Thinking we see Ty Johnson in this game.  He's been kept under wraps up to this point.

Completely random, but I am watching All22 again and noticed that 1 second before each snap Cook throws out something small white behind him. Anybody has a clue what that might be?

 

I think it's a mini-bildo... a good luck totem.

I mean I wouldn't be surprised if the Bills are in the Chiefs position from last year when we play them except without half of those games being inexplicable wins that other teams threw away.

 

He needs to go dark visor so he is like Darth Vader and he can be like "Tua....I am your father!" 😂 

 

Pretty sure it’s a rule violation to cover the QBs eyes with a visor

Clear visor is a better choice because the DBs need to see where you’re trying to look them off.

He will use the pink tinted one that is still considered clear.

It's really disturbing to me how everyone on here is just dismissing the Dolphins. They're going to come into this game super-motivated. Rumors have it that Bradley Chubb has called another "player's only" meeting, and this time they're not inviting any strippers. Also, it's been reported that McDaniel is taking "assertiveness training" so that he may "reign in accountability." Their bus driver has been told that under no circumstances shall he leave the bus idling in the parking lot. These guys are serious. Some Miami pundits have even suggested that the Dolphins' humiliating performances over the first two weeks have been intentionally self-inflicted in an effort to motivate them for this game. Don't sleep on the fishes!

[jcamm1966]

It's always pretty high scoring 27 to 24   30 to 27  ect...........

So our hatred of the Dolphins in the 80s and 90s files Josh today? I like it…

The one part the Dolphins uniquely present is - and has been - the deep passing game that is a challenge to the Bills. The Bills almost never play man coverage against the Dolphins because Hill and Waddle plus Tua who will throw it fast and high when he sees the coverage. Too bad Hairston is not playing or I'd like to see how he challenges the likes of Hill. With that, McDaniels has been trying to build a running attack to balance out teams scheming to take away Waddle and Hill. 

 

I expect the Dolphins may have some success Thursday night against the Bills because McDermott is not going to push to stop the run, daring Fields to pass kind of plan. We are going to see if our D line, especially the new guys without Oliver,  can handle the run defense in trenches. I'd say this is likely a more true indication of how our run defense is than the extreme  cases showed in the Ravens and Jets game to a degree(Miami's O-Line is nothing to write home about).

 

I do have high confidence of the offense against them, assuming we maintain consistency like we have been since last season, not shooting ourselves in the foot with turnovers. If we do not make turnoevers, I think we have 99.99% winning.

There's two wolves in me.  They're both degenerate gamblers and neither of them like a 12.5 point spread in a division game

They want to scare you into betting Miami.  True, its a Division game.  But the fact remains, Buffalo will be much more rested, and at home, with a major home field advantage, on a Thursday Night, so more rowdy and loud crowd.    Bills rested a good chunk of starters by the 4th quarter Sunday.  Most defense starters played only around 50 plays.  Dolphins D Starters played around 60 plays. Miami has little time to game plan and introduce in 3 days. It has to be devastating for Dolphins players and fans to have their team be, year after year, the Washington Generals to the Bills being the Harlem Globetrekkers.  The lunatics are running the Dolphins, not the coaches.

 

The Dolphins have a porous offensive line, that the Pats had 5 sacks.  Two starting offensive lineman are out.  Tua will not make it through the game imo.  As awful as the OL is, the Dolphins secondary is even worse.  That is a major double whammy.

 

Bills versus Dolphins,this week, is not a fair fight. So does anyone, even on the Dolphins, think that they can fly into Buffalo, short week,coming off another loss, a game Miami should of won, sleep in unfamiliar bed, come into super charged Highmark Stadium, packed with screaming, lunatic Bills Mafia yelling deafening, with Buffalos monster, incredible new stadium, towering over imposingly, and in the Bills storybook season, and actually win?  LMAO  Bills are going to put on a show Thursday night.  When the Bills score first, Mafia is going to smell blood.  Its gonna be a blood bath IMO. Dolphins can Mike "I wish it was colder" in aftermath.  All talking heads all jump on Bills wagon  110%.

 

Thats my long winded answer why the Bills will crush the 12.5.  Bills and the Over.  I dont even know what the over is, but its not enough
