Thad’s Three Things: Bills vs. Dolphins
‘I think Tommy Sweeney will be the first man up because I think the Bills value the ability to present run/pass questions to defenses by having a tight end on the field. Back in week one, the Bills ran a heavy dose of four and five receiver sets. It didn’t work out so well. Since then, they’ve been primarily an 11 personnel team with one running back and one tight end on the field. It’s the same formula that built an elite offense last year. I think the Bills stick with it and I think that means Sweeney.’
Bills elevate Kahale Warring for Sunday’s game
‘Kahale (pronounced kah-HALL-ay) Warring is in his third year in the NFL and has played in seven career NFL games – all with Houston in 2020.’
6 things to watch for in Bills vs. Dolphins | Week 8
‘”It’s a big game being back home,” said Bills RB Zack Moss in an appearance on ‘One Bills Live’ this week. “Everything that we want goes through our stadium. Being a big division game and being able to come back home in front of our fans will be a big advantage for us. We haven’t heard the fans in almost a month so it’ll be a fun game on Sunday.”‘

‘”I really struggled with this one because Miami is unlikely to get smashed yet again,” Gagnon said, “especially now that Tua Tagovailoa is finding his game. Still, Buffalo is at home, well-rested following a bye and likely extremely hungry after a tough Week 6 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The Bills are very good at winning handily, and I don’t think they’ll mess around here. Plus, the Dolphins might simply be out of inspiration after falling to 1-6 with a Week 7 home loss to a mediocre Falcons team.”‘

Q&A: Bills guard Ike Boettger loves the corn-fed connection
‘I’d say my least favorite was baling hay. Hot, middle of summer, itchy. But my favorite? Just anything with animals was fun. Cows, sheep, pigs – we had a bunch of pigs growing up, so just working with them. And I had a lot of good memories with my dad, just doing stuff on our acreage. … One of my grandfathers lives four hours away, and the other, two hours, so both pretty close.’
Bills injury report: OL Spencer Brown doubtful for Sunday
‘”He was training earlier this week, and it flared up a little bit, so we’re just trying to get it calmed down right now,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said Friday.’
Schedule-maker gave Bills a break
‘Not only did Buffalo have the week after the Tennessee game off, Bills coach Sean McDermott is 4-0 the game after a bye during his Buffalo career, and his team will now face its softest stretch of the season.’
Week off alters Bills’ position in AFC standings
‘Now Baltimore, Cincinnati, Las Vegas and Tennessee are tied atop the conference at 5-2 with their bye weeks still to come. Buffalo and the Los Angeles Chargers are a half-game back at 4-2 with their byes already over.’
Bills tackle Spencer Brown doubtful vs. Dolphins: What could plan be & who’s hurt for Miami?
‘If Brown, who didn’t practice at all this week, can’t play the Bills (4-2) have a few options. They could try fellow rookie Tommy Doyle at right tackle to see where he is at and keep Williams at guard. The other option could be to move Williams back out to right tackle and insert either Ike Boettger at guard or go back to Ford.’
