Yeah I understand that.  I think the Watson trade would have to happen before Tues anyway to give him any chance of being able to learn their offense.  

 

But it was a Bye week.  I would have to think the Coaches (maybe not the players) put some time in on Watson during the bye - Knowing how prepared McD likes to be.

 

I think it's something for the coaches to keep in the back of their minds, but I don't think it's worth actually drawing up scheme for. I don't know how quickly Watson could play for them.

You can't honestly believe that the NFL would allow Watson to play before his case is resolved, do you? It would never happen in this world.

It would be pretty unfathomable to think in 5 days a trade could go down, the physical completed, the benching of Tua, the playbook learned, and enough practice take place with Watson and the offense prior to them flying out on Saturday for him to take the field in Buffalo let alone the media barrage that would face the dolphins staff, players, coaches and the game itself. Media, women’s groups etc would be bearing down on OP if he was playing.

Flores is a dead man walking here. I would be shocked if the Fins don't fire him after the season. Miami has to be one of the biggest disappointments given what the expectations were.

Right below SF

It's nice to have a Bills game on at 1:00 on Sunday. It's been a while.

Used to hate 1:00 pm start. I've grown accustomed to it and love it now!

He did, he was able to complete a lot of p[asses in the middle of the field to fairly open receivers in relatively soft zone.  He is such an "Alabama" type QB, can complete the short & intermediate easy throws .

Good practice for the Pats!

Curious how Buffalo comes out.  I would like a decent amount of running game.  I think they will come out 4 and 5 wide.  Time will tell.  Buffalo is vastly superior in every phase.  Is it a ho hum cover or complete blow out?  Its rare to blow out a team twice.  I expect Mia to be scrappy early.

Will show a lot about the character of Miami's players.  They will be playing for their coach and their season.  Another blowout loss and going to 1-7 will push Miami's management to make a move on the coach.  I expect a competitive football game.

I dont know man, its been a bad start to the season obviously for them but the last two weeks have to be absolutely gut  wrenching for that team. Got beat by the Jags on a game winner, then come back and have the Falcons beat only to see them go down and kick a game winner while seeing Flores throwing stuff on the sidelines. I get you this might be last stand time but going on the road knowing a team already beat you 35-0, injured your starting QB and has flat out dominated you the last 4 years doesn't bode well for confidence I gotta think.

Miami is gonna need the casket maker from the Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns, the good thing is that Tua is small so the casket will be cheap…

 

Go Bills!!!

We SHOULD smoke them this game. But, man this is the NFL amd the Dolphins are (technically) NFL players. I think it's gonna be closer than many think. 31-20 type game.

Bills are back in town

Dolphins are on the menu

On to the Super Bowl!

This seems to be Buffalo's "thing" the last few years more often than not. They started the season running poorly, hit bye week and make some corrections. Run a bit better for a few games then get pass happy again. Last year IIRC they switched to more Lee Smith in the game. Wonder what tweaks they made this year.

I'm mildly concerned about this game. Not because of any pending trade for Watson, but because we'll be facing a team currently on a 6 game losing streak coming 2 straight tough losses in games they probably should have won.

 

Also this team knows they have to eventually show better against the Bills and aren't going to keep getting blown out every time. Even during the Pats dominance they dropped division games (ironically mostly against the Dolphins) and we typically played them close once each year and got blown out in the other game.

 

With that said I still have a hard time seeing the Bills drop this coming out of the bye week after what happened against the Titans, but it's truly a week to week league and you never really know what's going to happen.

Any given Sunday. However, I want to see the Bills get out to a fast start scoring TD’s and not settling for FG’s. Bring pressure on Tua, control the trenches and the Bills should win.

Vs some of these teams coming up, I dont see a need of going 5 wide and give the D a free shot at Allen.  I would be disgusted if Allen had a designed run outside of the 5.  Preserve Allen get the W.  Should be a win.  Establish a run game.

Sunday around 4:00 P.M this will be the Fins leaving the field.

This is kind of where I live right now.  My mind says they will walk to a victory, but usually when you feel that way, you get surprised.  I recall the Dolphins game a couple years ago when they were like 0-6 and also the Jets game last year when they hung around.

 

 

With that said, the Bills could really make it so the Dolphins need to make severe change and scrapping their current 'rebuild' and administration, which not too long ago looked so promising, and had an embarrassment of riches in the way of draft picks.

Can’t over look anyone. Need to get the D going again
