They will not be needed this week. Will be interesting who the Healthy Scratches are Interesting that Johnson is questionable even though he's been a full participant in practice every day this week.

I'm totally fine scoring 28 points (to zero) and playing Barkley and the bench in the second half. I really hope you are pulling off a reverse jinx, because all this overconfidence is killing me.
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 I see some folks saying they'd be happy with a minimal win (1-2 pts.?,overtime?). You are seriously going to be pleased come Monday that we beat one of the worst teams in the NFL recent history, at home, as a 17 pt fav, and coming off the bye? Oh Really

I'd very much prefer a real butt whippin' . But, at games end, I will be happy with ANY win. Because they all count the same. Now I may have complaints/criticisms. But I'll still be happy. Why wouldn't I? 2
YoloinOhio Posted October 19, 2019 Author Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) I’m surprised any Bills fan *wouldn’t* be happy with a 1 point win. As a Bills fan I take any win I can get. I hope we are a playoff team this year but we have no idea at this point. Thats not to say that Miami isn’t a a bad team. They are. It doesn’t mean I won’t be happy with a 1 point win. It’s a week to week league, that’s not just a cliche. It’s different in college where you have to prove yourself to a committee to get in to the playoff and W-L record isn’t enough Edited October 19, 2019 by YoloinOhio 1

John from Riverside Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 I really dont like that so many ppl are just counting this in the "W" column Players have pride....even backup players...... Just go out and execute your game plan.....limit your turnovers.....come out of it healthy please 1

You're right, never apologize for winning, in this case ,I don't think it will feel very good. Edited October 19, 2019 by D. L. Hot-Flamethrower 1

I think they absolutely should win but I’ll be nervous as hell on Sunday and the spread is way too big imo Just now, D. L. Hot-Flamethrower said: Ok then for you.

I just have no idea how good we are especially on offense so not expecting a blowout. I don’t use any game’s score as a barometer. Also Fitz is always a wild card.
CaptnCoke11 Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 This has a score like 24-10 written all over it

njbuff Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 This Dolphins team is worse than the 1984 Bills, which was the least talented team in NFL history. But even those bad Bills found a way to win two games in 1984. So miracles happen. I sweat EVERY Bills game, but this thing is a 17 point spread for a reason. There really isn’t a scenario where the Bills can lose this game, so, hopefully, it plays out that way.
CommonCents Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 The Bills are physical and have played hard each week. Turnovers are what kept their previous games close. I don’t think we have seen a team that was just going through the motions. That’s what they are likely to get on Sunday. A highly motivated, rested, home team against a team who don’t care? Bills by 3 plus touchdowns.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 ........from PFT: Dolphins at Bills MDS’s take: The Bills keep marching toward the playoffs thanks in large part to an easy schedule. MDS’s pick: Bills 38, Dolphins 14. Florio’s take: Even the Bills are 16.5-point favorites against the Gang That Couldn’t Tank Straight. The Dolphins won’t win in Ryan Fitzpatrick’s return to Buffalo, but they’ll keep it interesting. Florio’s pick: Bills 20, Dolphins 10.
