Fins "impressive" 5 game win streak has come against opponents with a combined .282 win percentage

So that is fair, in that the Bills only needed any one of about 6 plays to go better for them in that game to win (and Milano's was one). But overall if you look at DVOA keeping the Dolphins O to 21 (think it was 21) is a much stronger performance than only scoring 19 on their D. 

True but when you’re missing 5 offensive linemen, you’ve just gotta find any way to make one more play to win the game.  Blaming one particular player/unit is a meaningless exercise imo.  Both sides could’ve made that extra play

And they only beat the Vikings because of the same unfair home field advantage that let them beat us.

Dolphins are pretenders

I wouldn’t say they’re pretenders but it does feel like they built a mostly one read college offense for tua to get the ball out quick that’s  gonna work exponentially better against bottom of the barrel nfl defenses and struggle against good ones.  They lost armstead too so they’re pretty close to reverting to their 2021 offensive line on paper 

 

tyreek and waddle are gonna be a handful for anyone still though

Doesn’t Miami have a stretch of weak games every year where the media starts drooling over them?

Yes and we are living in it. Kyle Brandt podcast was a slobberfest

[Dr.Sack]

Tua’s LT is out. Will the rush get to him a tick faster and throw his timing off?

The Bills beat the Bills.  Let's be real. Same story in all 3 losses.

 

 

129 degrees on the field beat the Bills in that game. Wearing dark blue while the Fins wore white.

 

I think we're going to see a very different game up in Orchard Park, even if the temps are not a factor.

We're going to punish them in Orchard Park. 

 

It's going to look like the last few years, Allen will be benched halfway through the 4th because we'll be up 3+ scores. They're huge overachievers and it'll show in 3 weeks

Wish Brant would just go back to Days Of Our Lives or whatever soap he was on. I know he hyped up the Bills but his takes are pretty terrible a lot of the time

They have three straight road games coming up that are against better teams than anyone else they've played this year except Minnesota and Cincinnati (who they lost to):  San Francisco, LAC, and Buffalo.

 

0-3 is a distinct possibility, and not for nothing, but we already have seen that they have nothing at the QB position after Tua, who will have to face Nick Bosa and Khalil Mack in the next two weeks.

 

I still think worse case for the Dolphins on this trip is 2-1, but for some reason I see them running the table and not losing again this year which means a sweep of the Bills and obvious AFCE title.

 

They just have the look of one of those special teams this year and McDaniel truly is some sort of savant and not a goofy bastard after all!

It’s annoying but they kinda have that vibe of last year Bills. I don’t think they’ll run the table but i do think beating SF will not be surprising.  McDaniel knows them just as much as SF know him.  Kansas City went through SF with zero resistance and Miami has some great O talent to do the same.

Plus now McCaffrey is not 100% and they are not sure if he will play. Lucky Miami.

Bills fans complaining about an opponent having an easy schedule is quite laughable given the quality of opponents the Bills have had to face going back to 2017.

 

They rode some pretty favorable schedules to success.

 

This year the Bills have FINALLY faced some adverse scheduling.

 

 The media hasn't quite gotten around to talking about it just yet, but not only have the Bills played a lot of good teams......an ACTUAL first place schedule for once.......but barring anymore snowpocalypses they will finish the regular season playing on the road 10 times and at home only 7.  

 

I think the difficult schedule has taken a bit of a toll on the players psyche...........the career Bills on the team really aren't used to having to play 60 minutes of focused football every week.

 

I don't get this at all.  The Bills and the Dolphins play 14 games between the same teams every season.

The difference this year is this:

 

AFCW:  Bills/Chiefs vs Dolphins/Chargers

AFCS:  Bills/Titans vs Dolphins/Texans

NFCW:  Bills/Rams vs Dolphins/49ers

 

Dolphins have the easier schedule as anyone can see.  They NOW face some of their better opponents and we will all see how they do.

Coulda stopped right there

 

Bills lost 3 games we could have and arguably should have won

We need to take care of our own business

Why are you here?

[Mat68]

Hill is Hill.  But I expect Miami to be this years New England.  They go 49ers, Chargers, Buffalo, New England, and Jets.  I could see them going 1-4 or 0-5.

Let me finish the thought for you

 

1) Miami beats KC in Arrowhead in the AFC CG.

 

2) Miami beats the Eagles in the SB and @FilthyBeast hops on the first plane to Ft. lauderdale to be first in line for the parade.

 

3) Miami has a Patriot-like 20 year run atop the AFCE while Josh Allen regresses into rookie-year form and the Bills endure another 18-year playoff drought while they look for another QB.

 

4) Tua is a first-ballot HOFer and becomes the face of the league. People are like “Patrick who?”

 

Yeah, none of that is happening.

[L Ron Burgundy]

They are a good team.  Tua's stats are unreal right now.  Mvp caliber had he not been injured.  

 

Now imagine Josh with Hill and Waddle.  Unstoppable.   Anyway, if we get back to playing good football we'll be fine beating them out.

It just goes to show how quickly a teams fortunes can turn around in just one season by making the right coaching change and roster tweaks. And I also mentioned that I believe Miami will take a page out of KC's playbook and boatrace the 49ers early because they are not a good team when they fall behind by 10+ points and have to rely on Jimmy G to play aggressively.

 

Coaching matters and this is why I maintain it would be foolish for Terry Pegula to stand pat and believe he can't upgrade from Beane/McDermott if this team flounders or has a quick exit in the playoffs this year. The foundation is there as long as JA17 is on the roster and you get a coaching staff that will run a real defense instead of this silly nickel/bend but don't break stuff and this team truly ascend to the next level.

70% chance of rain for the game.  I definitely have SF winning this one.

Raining and in the 50's. Tua is going to be wearing a winter parka on the sideline.
