Hebert19 Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 Its happened a few times in NFL history when you let the team in by resting starters and you end up losing to that team. The fins are riding a lot of momentum and a ton of luck. I'd rather take my chances on the ravens who aren't playing great D and are 1 dimensional on offense. Play the starters crush the fins and let the chips fall. Curious of everyone else's thoughts. 8
Big Turk Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 I would rather play the Dolphins. They just don't match up at all with the Bills. Allen shreds them throughout his career through the air and on the ground. They play man defense and that is not a recipe for success against us...well...neither is zone anymore. I guess it's kind of good luck with teams against us now... 1
Mailman Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 Im torn. I agree that letting the Fins in with some momentum by resting starters may have an impact. However Tua is so bad that I actually think our backups can beat him. Does Flores repeat the benching again next week if they are losing? It can't be good for the culture. I am also concerned about the Ravens. We are a much better team this year but Lamar is a wild card and has something to prove after 2 years of choking in the playoffs. 1
Hebert19 Posted December 27, 2020 Author Posted December 27, 2020 I get your take but they also create turnovers, run the ball well and have one of the best special teams units in the league. 1

Said this to phins fan last night. They could lose to our backups with Tua.
Estro Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 If the Dolphins win next week they have an 8% chance of being the #7 seed. If they lose they have a 39% chance of being the #7 seed. I 100% agree its looking like its going to be beneficial for the Bills to win next week. We will obviously have a better idea after today's slate of games. 1

If we need starters to get the 2 seed then we'll play em.

Creating turnovers isn't a game plan and the Bills have improved their run defense. As for STs, the Bills are right there with them.

I keep seeing stupid sh*t saying Tua is the heir apparent. The heir apparent has already arrived. And up to this point, he still owns the Dolphins
oldmanfan Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 Kick the Cheatriots ass. Then the same to the Fish. 4 3 1
Captain_Quint Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 If josh and diggs play, I dont think we can lose to them very easily. Like the announcers said last night, they live and die by playing man to man defense. All season we have torn apart the teams who try to play man against us. They arent built for a shootout, even with Fitz, so I think the matchup favors us in a huge way.
dma0034 Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 I look at it like this. If the Dolphins are the 7 seed. Great the Bills get to bounce them in the first round. If they are the 6 seed maybe Pittsburgh gets them and the Bills get to host the Steelers in ths 2nd round. I look at that as a win-win. Keep one of: Titans, Browns, Ravens out of the playoffs 2
mannc Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 McDermott has to be licking his chops, with the opportunity to play defense against a rookie QB who holds the ball too long AND can’t throw 10 yards past the LOS. 3

This would never happen but it would be hilarious if the backups are beating Tua so Flores trots Fitz out in the second half and, as a counter move, McD puts his starters in for the 3rd to put the game away before bringing the backups back out for the 4th. that would be a fun game of “one-upsmanship.” 3

I still think the Bills would win but I think Jackson is always an X-factor that can’t be game-planned for. If he makes 2 or 3 crazy plays it is the difference between winning and losing a playoff game.
Blank Stare Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 Josh has owned the Dolphins. Sure, they can beat us. Anyone can beat anyone. Not sure why anyone is worried about the Dolphins though. 1
