Bills need to run early, establish the TE and hit some crossing routes & use the play action. Bills now have lost two in a row. I don’t like that feeling. Let’s get the W.

Probably the wrong game to try to establish the TE as Miami has the best tight end eraser in the game. (Eric rowe)

Josh has definitely owned Miami the past two seasons.  
4 years ago we would have felt like Josh’s stat line from the Pitt game was great, expectations are a lot like time, always changing. 
I just want to see this offense get into a consistent rhythm for a couple of quarters at least. Back to back TD drives would be nice, give the D time to rest with sustained drives, etc…. Starts with the plays called and then the players executing.

From CBS sports:

Latest Odds: Miami Dolphins +3.5

Bet Now

I ended up rewatching the Steelers-Bills game a couple times (one for work, another when it ended up on TV one night this week and I kind of got sucked in) and I don't think that game is indicative of what we get from those respective teams in Week 2. The Bills defense is set to bounce back big and the Steelers are just going to be good on defense again. I'm not gonna comp anyone to Aaron Donald but Ed Oliver might become the next Grady Jarrett/Geno Atkins this year. I would bet on this defense finishing top 10 in DVOA this season fairly easily assuming no cluster of injuries. More importantly for this game -- the Steelers didn't blitz at all! They sat back and played a ton of zone against Josh Allen and still got home with their front four. That's not gonna work against anyone, even an MVP candidate. The Dolphins don't do that -- they're man heavy (54 percent last year but only 47 percent last week against Mac Jones, which warrants monitoring) which is why Josh Allen shredded them last year. Don't rule out a defensive shift, because Brian Flores ain't no dummy, but the Bills are just good and we underestimated the Steelers preseason. 

The pick: Bills 35, Dolphins 17

Props, Best Bets: Bills -3.5 (obvs prefer -3 but doesn't matter), hoping for low Diggs catches/yards numbers but not out yet

I think that people underestimate the Dolphins. Are the great? No. But I think they will be a very strong contender for a WC this season. 

Given the trouble the Bills have had with physical defenses, I think Flores and the Dolphins are a team to keep an eye on going forward given his time at New England. Prior to last years million hold outs in NE  McD has never put up 20 points on BB. 

I wouldn't be shocked if MIA gave us more trouble this year. The best thing going for Buffalo is Josh> Tua. 

Prediction, Bills cover the spread. 28-23.

I fully expect to have our hands full but have we not already put that one to bed? Allen has absolutely lit up Flores defenses for 2 years now. I dont even understand bringing this point up.

I agree the Bills struggle against physical defenses but I don't see the Dolphins as a physical defense. I would classify their defense as opportunistic. They haven't added anything on defense that worries me.

I am not considering Flores or Miami to be some defensive juggernaut, but this is also only his 3rd year and he inherited one of the worst defenses in the league in year one, that made large strides in year two. It isn't wild to think that they will be better in year 3 on that side of the ball. 

I am not predicting a Bills loss by any means.

This is fair, and I agree, they are not generally a physical defense. I am just sort of thinking into the future with Flores at the helm.

I think the refs already know they hold a grudge against Jerry. People don't like it when you accurately tell them about themselves. 

 

The proper way to do that would be to discuss with the league (with pictures) concerns about penalties being called evenly on both sides

Bills win by 3 scores. And Bills fans step back from the ledge. 

I agree that we win, but let’s face it, some Bills fans never step away from the ledge.

 

1. They didn’t win by enough

2. They won but a certain position group wasn’t good enough which means they won’t be able to win against better competition

3. My favorite - They won but they struggled in a quarter or half which proves they can’t contend

4. The list goes on and on and on
