I hope you are right! As a Bills fan, I would love to see that happen. However, I try to analyze every game and give my opinions. By no means am i an expert and often I'm incorrect. I feel the the Dolphins will be successful against the Bills defense. Why? (1) the Bills secondary is thin and banged up. (2) I think Tua and the Dilphobs have confidence after their comeback win. (3) Hill and Waddle are game changing Wrs and they happen to play ob the same team. I think the Dolphin passing game can be successful vs the thin and inexperienced secondary. The Bills offense should be able to score on the Dolphins. Allen is elite and right now seems "God like." The home field should be able to help the Dolphins so calm, focused, and frenzied. I see a close game. I've waivered back and forth on who wins.

The Titans are terrible. Without AJ Brown they pose little to no threat in the passing game. All the Bill's needed to do was stop Henry which they did. The Rams only had Kupp as a receiving threat. Robinson is overrated and often disappears in games. Kupp is excellent and he was successful statistically. However, he's not a speed burner like Hill. Hill presents different problems for the Bills D. Couple that with Waddle and it's a very difficult task for the Bills secondary. Lastly, the Rams Oline is a work in progress. The Bills front just overpowered them. The Dolphins do have a couple of exploitable offensive lineman. Hopefully, the Bills can pressure Tua into mistakes. Frankly, I see a hard fought game. I'm not getting too high on either of the team's 2 wins. Each game presents another and different challenges. I don't see a Bills blowout here.

Miami has a new coach, new offensive system, offensive speed up the butt with Hill, Waddle, Mosert, and Edmunds. The Rams and Titans didn't pose nearly as much of a threat offensively as the Dolphins. Hill has given the Bills nightmares if you want to include past performance as relevant. I'm not sleeping in the Dolphins. I do agree that Buffalo is the better team. Allen is a monster and it's hard not to take that into consideration.

What happened in previous games isn't really relevant here. Miami is a completely different team especially on the offensive side of the ball. Tua looked very calm and in control with their 4th quarter come back on the road. That is something the team and Tua may be able to build on. This is a statement game and a measuring stick for the Dolphins. I do believe the Bills are a better team but Miami at home with momentum, great offensive weapons, and have formidable defense. In no way, would I sell the Dolphins short here. Think David vs Goliath. A focused, good game and well executed plays by the Bills should bring home the win. Allen is elite and the Bill's have the best QB. Hopefully, he plays exceptionally well. I think he's gonna have to because the Dolphins will be ready to steal a win.

All these injuries are very concerning especially on the defense side of the ball. Offensively, I think the Bills will be fine. However, the defense will have its work cut out for them with Hill and Waddle. Mosert and Edmunds are very fast and dangerous in the open space. I'd feel like the Bills D would dominate them for the majority of the game at full strength.

The Miami offense is built on quick passing and run after the catch. Coach McDaniel is a disciple of Shanahan. The Miami offense does present some concerns for the Bills defense. At some point, you know Tua will take his shots down field with Hill and Waddle. At any point, they can score quickly. Scary! Poyer and Hyde need to play big. QB pressure is always a recipe for turnovers. Get Tua off his comfort zone. Edmunds and Milano are also important pieces to clog the short passing zones. I think the dolphins will try to run the ball more effectively. They haven't been all that successful in their first 2 games. I suspect they will not be all that successful against the Bills. The Bills rush D is vastly improved from last year. I do believe the Dolphins offense will have some success vs the Bills. Waddle and Hill are just too good. I think one or both will have good games. However, the Bills team is hungry, experienced, and has the best QB on the planet. A focused Bills team, a good game plan, and players executing should lead to a Bills win. It almost seems like a David vs Goliath compassion is applicable. This game won't be easy.

Or is the extension giving him a little extra incentive?

Like I said stats only tell a portion of the story. No doubt the defense has played well. There is no way that the defense is better without Tre. Stats show otherwise and that proves my point. Sure could have used Tre in that AFC playoff game vs the Chiefs.

Every year is different. No doubt the Bills defense has excelled. I believe this years defense with its new additions is and will be even better. Getting a healthy Tre back while the young CBs get valuable game time experience is a scary scenario for opposing offenses. Barring injuries this team is scary good. My early call is the Chargers and the Chiefs are the only 2 teams in the AFC that have the talent to compete and beat the Bills.

The stats only tell a portion of the story. The Rams oline was as porous as can be. Bills had relentless pressure on Stafford without blitzing. The Titans just plain suck in the passing game. Tanny is average at best and they probably have the worst WR core in the league. Both were recipes for the secondary to excell. I'd say thus far they really haven't been tested. Miami with Waddle and Hill should be a better test for the Bills.

I know the spell check did that.

No fan of Edmunds here. However, he has played well the first 2 games of this season. Not sure why people here can't admit that, see it, or acknowledge it. Hope he continues to play well and I will gladly become a fan of his.

We have been fortunate to play the Rams and the Texans. Neither team could expose the young corners. Rams Online was so porous and Kupp was the only quality pass catcher the Bill's had to cover. Tanny sucks and the Titans WR core is arguably the worst in the league. With that said, I still give the Bill's D lots of credit. However, the Bill's without Dane is concerning. He has been solid and reliable out there. Two big blowout wins and on to Miami. My top three AFC teams are Buffalo, SD, and KC.

It's a big jump and usually there is a learning curve. Clearly, reports throughout camp and pre season shows that's the case with Elam. Also, Benford is a great story but he's a 6th round pick for a reason. Right now, I see both as weakness in the secondary because of their inexperience and learning curve. Hopefully, they will continue to grow, learn, develop, and limit their mistakes. Maybe I'm wrong in my thinking...

I get that and I understand that. The secondary was the number one hole to fill for the Bills pre draft. Beane even said so in so many implied and explicit ways. Now after one game, people are like hoe hum the Bills secondary is good to go. Little to no concerns because it's a DB friendly system. I'm not totally sold. The reason why it looked good in game one was because of the Bills pass rush (no blitzes) and combo that with a putrid Rams Oline. Until Tre comes back healthy, the secondary will need a very good pass rush to accommodate for its deficiencies and growing pains. Week 3 vs the Dolphins is a good to great test for the Bills secondary. As noted, Hill is a Bill eater. Waddle is excellent as well. In the Rams game all the had to worry about was Kupp. Right now, let's beat the Titans who always seem to play the Bill's tough.

I don't disagree with your post. I took exception to you not acknowledging the Bills secondary is inexperienced. Your previous response painted an inaccurate picture. This post here cleverly eludes the inexperienced secondary issue. Not sure why it's so difficult to admit the Bills corners are very young and inexperienced? I do think it's a legitimate concern versus the Dolphins wide receivers. Comparing the Rams game with Miami isn't totally accurate either. Completely different teams with different strengths and weaknesses. In the end, I think the Bills are the better team because Allen is just that good. However, the best team doesn't always win. We will find out soon how good the dolphins and Tua really are.

How about the CBs? Come on stop your non sense.

Did you see the game winning play and throw by Tua? It was a thing of beauty and the strength of Tua. He moved up into the pocket avoided the pass rush and threw a perfect pass to a well covered Waddle. Perhaps it was a young QB growing up before our eyes. Who knows? What I do know is that play was quite impressive.

Good post. The Miami game is a very dangerous one. Tua and the dolphins have a belief and confidence. They foundnd a way to win. This is always dangerous for a young up and coming team. Add on what many think is the best one two wide receiver combo in the league and a young inexperienced Bills secondary. I still think the bills are clearly the better team. If they play well they should win the game. However, this dolphin team appears formidable.

Neither QB is elite in my opinion. I wouldn't start my team building with either QB in a perfect world. However, Murray is much better than Tua because of his experience and legs. His legs make him extremely dangerous unlike Tua. Tua seems to be an injury waiting to happen. His arm is weak and he's a pure system QB. Not even close to franchise or elite. However, his receivers are borderline unstoppable. That one two punch will make Tua look very good at times.

Week 2 of 2022 may have been one of the worst football ever played. Just trash and a garbage product. Miami vs Belt. High scoring but terribly sloppy. Balt secondary was horrific leaving The a wide open Waddle and Hill numerous times. Miami get beat on a Lamar run for 61 yards. His longest run ever. Both teams looked bad in so many ways. Jets Vs Clev. Flacco vs Brissett. Who was glued to watch these two? Enough said here. NE vs Pitt. Jones vs Mitch T was a snooze feast. Jones was ok at times. Mitch T is God awful. Muffed punt by Pitt was horrible to watch. This game was almost unwatchable. TB and NO. Talk about a sleeper. A 3-3 game at the end of 3 quarters. James with 3 ints and Brady threw for a whopping 190 yards. Seattle vs SF. Another lack luster game. Geno back to Geno. Only Seattle Rd was on a blocked FG return. Game was unwatchable. Houston vs Denver. Mills vs Wilson. Another poorly played game. Sloppy with no offensive flow. Wilson was every bit as need a Mills. Chicago vs Green Bay. I stopped watchibg the game at halftime. It was so bad. The NFL has to give us a better product. The terribly QB play, sloppy play, terrible drops and turnovers, and boring football.

Legit game breaking talent? How do you see that?

He doesn't look special to me. At best a serviceable QB. Bears front office can t think he is elite or franchise.

Nice assessment.

Hill and Waddle can take over a game. Don't just focus on Tua. Think Alabama. Tua was able to get the ball to his playmakers. The young Bills secondary has its hands full next week. Also, the Dolphins will move Tua and make quick passes to avoid the Bills pass rush. No easy game. However, I want to focus on Tenn for now.
