Don't forget that Colts game last year!

IIRC Eric Wood said it was 112 degrees on the field today. I'm not making it an excuse but that's a home field advantage that's unrivaled in the NFL.

Well Allen definitely felt the pressure all day because they were getting to him. Perhaps "rattled" is the wrong word but he was feeling the pressure and he didn't feel comfortable back there. How's that?

The Dolphins blitzed Allen a lot this game and he got sacked, hit, and hate to say it but a little rattled. If Allen had a clean pocket more often in this game - the Bills win. Need guys to get healthy going forward. Health and normal temps will do wonders for this team.

There are team wins and team losses. Period

I'll add that Allen did not get hurt. Just noticed Mac Jones left Pats game with leg injury. Did not look good.

Campbell taking him to the ground is bs.

I forgot how much it sucks losing to Miami.

True the offense did not play well today. First half Bills struggled against the blitz. It was a tough game. I wish McD tried the FG right before half. Second half guys were dropping from the heat and just some bad plays all around. Have to score when it's first and goal at the 1. All those mistakes and they still had a great chance there.

Are defensive holding calls by Bills D part of the game plan? It wouldn't surprise me.

Miami's thin at CB and Howard if he plays isn't 100% (groin). Could be a long day for Miami D.

Im thinking we might see more of Rousseau at DT on passing situations and/or Basham.

The injuries suck no doubt but does anyone think Miami's defense can stop the Bills offense? Even if Davis doesn't play I don't think so. Xavien Howard has a groin injury. Even if he plays he's not 100%. Diggs will torch him. Robert Needham is a slot CB playing CB2 because Byron Jones, the usual CB2, is on IR. They have an UDFA playing slot now. The Dolphins are hurting at CB too. Not just the Bills.

I'll take 42 - 6. Thank you. Then Miami's 3 fans can STFU!

I'm just basing it on confidence. McD's teams rarely have mental breakdowns, Johnson has been here 3 plus years, and they've had 5 days to prepare as a team. The Ravens secondary guys got hurt during the game and the rookies were forced into the game. It might be a little ugly tomorrow but the Bills also have Allen. The best player in the NFL.

No cut needed. Hyde went on IR. Bryant took his spot.

You might be right. The first game he got hurt early on and left the game. If they blitz oh boy. They have Hill now. I'd hate to give them cheap td's. I don't think Miami's offense can consistently drive the length of the field against us even with the injuries. That's why I wouldn't blitz.

No blitzing. They'll be fine rushing four. Miami has a backup at RT and a LT with a bad big toe. Von et al will get it done.

IIRC players can get called up from PS for 3 games during the season. Bryant was called up last week along with Brewer (?). Does promotion to the 53 roster count? I'm thinking no but not sure.

I've been to plenty of Bills Fish games in Buffalo. The Fish fans are not well represented from a numbers standpoint. They must be jealous that we travel well and support our team.

Miami has scored 62 points in 2 games. 7 came from a defensive touchdown and 28 came in the 4th quarter against the Ravens. So that's 27 points of offensive scoring in 7 quarters. The Ravens had injuries in their secondary during their game that forced them to play two rookies. The Bills will be playing 2 rookies as well but have had time to prepare plus a bunch of reps in training camp and preseason not to mention 2 games that count. Plus the Bills dline is better than Baltimore's. Give Tua credit, he connected with Hill twice for long touchdowns and pulled out a win. Allen is better than Tua in so many ways though and the Bills roster is better than Miami's. McDaniel looks like he could be a good coach and they may be the Bills main competition going forward but their defense is pretty bad.

It seems the media is always waiting for the Dolphins to show any sign of improvement. Then they pump them up to a point where you either love Miami or hate them. It's impossible to remain indifferent or neutral. I've been around long enough to live through the 70s where we lost every game to Miami. There were some close games back then but never a win. My favorite Dolphins moment was the Bills trashed the Dolphins in a playoff game and the Dolphins defensive coordinator cried during the post game show. Kelly and company just shredded them that day.

Every team goes through injuries. Part of the game. McD is trying to keep the guys healthy. Bills will be alright on Sunday. They have a huge advantage at QB.

But what about when the Bills are on offense facing the worst ranked Dolphins defense?

Oh God. My ex girlfriend said that crap all the time.
