Thurman's Helmet Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 The Miami Dolphins lost to a team we just beat 38-9 and barely squeeked out a win against one of the worst teams in NFL history. I think we will hold our own against them! 136741[/snapback] Dont get caught using that faulty logic of if we beat team a and team a beat team b then logic says we too can beat team b. The NFL doesnt work like that. That said, I think you guys kick the crap out of Miami next week. Too bad the NFL wussed out and switched the home/away games for them against Buffalo and NE so that they dont have to play in the cold weather.

I think he comes back in a big way and reminds everyone just how dominant he was in that city.
Like A Mofo Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 Dont get ahead of yourselves. Enjoy today's win and put your focus on beating the Phins in Miami next week and THEN root against some other teams. If you dont beat Miami then your playoff hopes are all but lost as they are on life support as it is. One game at a time is not a stupid cliche'. 136739[/snapback] Agreed. Getting to .500 would be a great confidence booster for this team being that the Bills were 0-4. One game at a time. And Im really not thinking playoffs. If they were 6-5, then I would give it a thought.
KurtGodel77 Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 We also need to root against Baltimore. Those guys need to suffer a second-half collapse to free up a wildcard spot. I was actually rooting FOR the Patriots to beat the Ravens so this could happen. The Denver loss this evening was good as well.
kasper13 Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 If the Bills go 5-0 and assuming the current division leaders NE, Pittsburgh, Indy. and San Diego win the Divisions they would need any two of the following...... Jets to go 1-4 Ravens to go 2-3 Broncos to go 2-3 and Jacksonville to finish no better than 3-2 Stranger things have happened.

However, the exciting thing about that is this.......the schedule dictates that this IS NOT far fetched. That's what makes it cool. It isn't all that far fetched, other than the Jets. And 2-3 for the Jets would put us in a tie-break with them, and I'm not sure who would win that.
kasper13 Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 No doubt it could happen. It could really make for a great finish to the season. I hope they go at least 4-1 and make it exciting around here again and give them something to really build on for next year.
JimBob2232 Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 No team but the PATs have rushed at all against the Bills and neither will the Steelers. So the game for the first time will be riding completely on big BEN. My call is he wont know what hit him. He will be overwelmed. I can't wait. Bring on their starters! Problem with this logic.... No team has been able to rush against the steelers either. So the game will be riding completely on DREW. And I am sure drew will know what hit him because it happens often. Though I have to give him props today.
daquixers Posted November 29, 2004 Author Posted November 29, 2004 HUH? The only good bad they have seen all year was Rudi Johnson and he had 120 yards.
JimBob2232 Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 HUH? The only good bad they have seen all year was Rudi Johnson and he had 120 yards. Oh, my mistake.... Come on man... Clinton Portis...17 yards Jamal Lewis.....62 yards Rudi Johnson..yes 123 the first time, 62 the 2nd time I dont know about you, but those are some pretty good backs held to pretty bad numbers. Other RBs this year: Lee Suggs...30 and 38 yards, respectively Westbrook...17 yards Eddie George...28 yards L. Henry....41 yards Wheatley...24 yards Bottom line. They are allowing ONLY 75 YARDS PER GAME on the ground. To put that in perspective, we all know how good buffalos run defense is and they are allowing 97 yards per game! I am not saying willis will not put up good numbers against their D. BUT....their run defense is second to none. Combine that with the bad weather that is expected in january, and its a RUNNING game. It will come down to how well duece/bettis match up against our D, versus WM going against Pitt's D. Matchups are never that simple, but you cant just dismiss that amazing work pittsburghs defense has done against the run this season.
