This probably deserves its own thread.  And on that note....

It’s no wonder we have fans that psyche themselves out before we play every terrible team. Exhibit A! 😜

There are two types of Bills fans, BBFS fans and "I'm gonna go to another teams message board and talk trash" fans. 

 

There tends to be more of the latter or seems lately.

Greg Cosell Previews Bills-Dolphins

 

He says Miami has been gradually working in more zone coverages and expects there to be a lot more zone against the Bills.  Pretty good video. Also says Miami is embracing timing routes. A lot of 3 step, 5 step drops and get rid of the ball quickly to eliminate sacks and pressures. They are scheming, but does anyone really think they have any hope?

I like where you are going with this. 

it’s even better than this. I was listening to the Cover 1 guys, and they developed this data point of “toxic differential”— which basically expands on the Sharp analysis. It is basically a combination of the Sharp big plays plus turnovers, and the Bills have a toxic differential that is number 1 in the league by a mile. 

It's a good metric, but I don't think Cover1 developed it. Toxic differential has been around for a while.

He was drafted about 10 picks before Dawson Knox.  Hasn't done much and was injured.

If you really want to go full paranoia...

-Bills only loss this year in all white uni's at home after a long rest in a game they were supposed to win.

-Dolphins are in desperation mode after six straight losses.  Tua and Flores are pry fighting for their jobs.

-Dolphins undefeated in Halloween games.

-UB just lost as 13 point favorites.

-OJ is in town.

Oh really— thanks. In the context of the podcast, it always seems like they sell it as their idea, but maybe i misinterpreted.

I made me curious, so I looked it up and it goes back to at least '98. Brian Billick talks about using it here: https://www.nfl.com/news/toxic-differential-an-essential-indicator-of-success-in-nfl-09000d5d82435ffb

Ya I don't really understand why he's putting words into the bills coaches/players mouths. 

 

Not really good from Mike G at all.

I'll always give a team a chance in the NFL, especially when playing division rivals for the 2nd time.

 

Do I think the Dolphins win?

 

No as I think the Bills will handle business.

 

But crazier things have happened

Regardless of what has happened here recently, we have to take every team seriously and also we need to figure out a way to get the defense back on track. Let’s get that taste of the Titans game out of our mouths for good. Get the run game going early and get back to playing defense

Was signed to the practice squad after the Bills cut fan favorite Jake Hollister.  Tons of unrealized upside.  Project for sure.

Coach McD and staff along with the players have made it quite clear on numerous occasions during interviews many times that, that is exactly what they do. So that's all good

Miami will hate the ***** weather. Good.
