I think a lot of people here have forgotten how good we looked against the Rams since everyone else has played twice since we last played.

I totally agree. Our defense is as solid and as savvy (both coaching and veterans) as any in the league. And we have one thing none of the other teams do. We have Josh!! Go Bills!!

[Dr.Sack]

Watch Tua play. He’s not very mobile & puts up many 50/50 balls which can lead to turnovers and WRs getting blown up. The key to beating Miami however, will be how well our offense performs against their defense. Our defense is built to take out Tua who by all metrics is a poor man’s Mahomes. It’s lucky for us our coaches have the Baltimore game tape to prepare. I suspect they will bait Tua into many poor decisions and totally shut down their running game.

Like it or not, we are one of the elite teams in the AFC right now.  It is the Bills time and long overdue, we will kick the dogsh*t out of the Dolphins.  Get used to us winning big games for the next few years, it is our time!

I wanna see Tua vs a fierce pass rush

I wanna see tua against a defense with safeties that actually know the defensive playcalls lol that was all time bad safety play today 

[Wyobills89]

I'm not worried at all. I'm not saying they are horrible horrible teams, i just feel we have the right leaders this year. We are just to talented as a team. They have some good pieces but as a whole we are just top notch.

[KingBoots8]

Josh has dog walked the Phins the last 7 meetings, hasn’t lost to the jets since 2019, and the only thing that prevented us from sweeping the pats once again last year was Mother Nature. They may have gotten better but it won’t be enough- we did work this off-season too and I fear nobody in this division. Scorched earth baby: burn it all.

Isnt it fantastic that Ross has passed his knowledge to us and his belief that Mac Jones, Tua, and Stifflers Moms boyfriend are all better then number 17. Just a scrub farm boy who went to Wyoming right. 

[Big Turk]

We don't need it to be given. We are gonna take it, like Tua has lunch money in his pocket. We are the bullies in this division now.

The Bills are SB favorites to a lot of people. When was the last time the Bills won a SB?

I'm glad the Phins beat Baltimore.  I think the Phins will fade over the course of the season but the Ravens will be in the hunt at the end.  This Raven loss may help with the Bills getting the #1 seed.  Now the Bills need to take care of their business and continue to stack wins starting with beating the Titans tomorrow night.

 

I'm with ya. I was worried about the Ravens until their defense forgot the game wasn't over. Hill blazing past the corner with no top-safety cover was jaw dropping. Had to ba a safety mistake. But as you say, not terribly worried about the phins as alot of Tua's long passes were still underthrown. 

 

Keeps the playing field leveled.

Eh, Pats and Jets suck. Fins are talented but I want to see Tua in playoff type, bad weather conditions. Fins will make the playoffs but not a real threat.

I think this is pretty spot on

[Nelius]

I don't find it surprising at all that the Fins look like the second best in the division, in fact I thought that was pretty much everybody's opinion leading up to this year. So of course they'll have some success, may even squeak into the playoffs. Their win today was legitimately impressive and Tua had an even more impressive stat line but I think some are already forgetting how good our defense looked Week 1. Tua isn't putting up 40 against that defense. I'd put money on him getting wrecked before being successful twice.

 

The Pats and Jets talk is pretty laughable at this point despite the Ws today. They're not in the same tier as the Dolphins even, let alone the Bills. I'm well past thinking Belicheat is some wizard that can turn Mac Jones and that dismal roster into a legitimate playoff team this year. A 3 point win over an also mediocre Steelers team isn't changing that for me.

Josh's rookie year in their first meeting when Charles Clay dropped a 4th down throw in the endzone after Allen scrambled around and threw it to him from around the Dolphin 40...he was all alone wide open in the enzone.

He then absolutely went off in the second meeting and took over the game in the 2nd half...it was the last game of the year.

As expected.  They will crawl back under their rocks soon enough.

Wow. A question was answered honestly and accurately with specifics and video. straight forward and to the point. It was probably a retorical question and most people would have just made a joke....including me.

 

Well done!

And that there is no Easter Bunny, which I'm really not still coming to grips with fully almost 5 decades later.

No, I started a compelling thread based on today's action, and noted that the Bills cake walking through the AFC East days are less likely. Very sensible. Sorry I hurt your feelings. Your opinion that Miami is not good is based on nothing but your desires for that to be reality, and based on nothing else. So far based on actual performance, the Dolphins look pretty good. Sorry. Go Bills!       

 

Based on actual performance they had one great quarter of football and 7 mediocre to bad quarters of football.

[dollars 2 donuts]

Tua played amazing today.

 

Do you want a given?  The Bills winning the AFC East.

I've felt all along that this division was going to be brutal this year and so far my fears are realized.

 

Dolphins are indeed THE TRUTH this year and we'll be fortunate to split with them. Tua continues to play like this and I think they win the division easily.

 

Patriots also rebounded nicely and on the right track despite losing in Miami last week which has been the norm for them anyway down there going back to the Brady years.

 

Jets even look like they are going to be a grimy team this year. Probably still at least a year away from seriously contending for division and playoffs but they are probably going to win a few games they shouldn't.

 

If the Bills manage to go even 3-3 in division play this year it's going to be quite the accomplishment.

 

Yeah you said that the last 2 seasons too.
