Tua ruled out vs Buffalo, Skylar Thompson expected to start

[benderbender]

I can't believe it. Wow. I still think they don't care, but at a PR level they should have gotten ahead of it and preemptively shut him down. Would have made them look like they cared.

Tyreek was right....The Bills D is going to have to warm up those hamstrings because they'll be on the sidelines most of the game.  

 

No doubt Miami is working on trick plays and expecting their running game to do the heavy lifting.  But if Miami goes done by 20 quick....maybe even 14, they will have to abandon it and if Skylar is playing, it may be a slaughter.

We’re facing a 3rd string qb at home for first playoff game. Well Bills fans no excuses we got our “bye” week.

The game certainly seems like a much more likely win with Thompson playing but I would never celebrate a guy being out.  In a perfect world the Dolphins have Tua and others, and the Bills have Hyde and Miller

Lets not take them too lightly. Still have a good D when they show up to play and can have a solid running game. Trap game...

This is big too. Seems pointless to play with Tua out.

A playoff game cannot be a trap game. You can be sure it isn't for the players

Just my opinion, but I think Tua is done and we'll see him in the broadcast booth next season.

Do you really think Josh Allen and the Bills are going to take a one-and-done playoff game against anybody lightly? There are no trap games in that scenario, no matter who is playing qb for the other side.

I despise ANY injuries. All this does is give the Phins false hope that things might have been different if he played. The Phins have been a pretender all year....but somehow they don't recognize it. Must be all that salt water lowering their IQ

A lot of people are going to lose their minds when the rookie QB starts lighting up our defense like Mac Jones in the first half last week.

Miami still has speedy WR's and if Skyler is on it could still be a long day for the Bills.. Our D is bend don't break and lots of injuries.

 

Nothing should be taken for granted... I won't feel comfortable till we are up by 4 scores

A trap game in a single elimination tournament?

[ngbills]

We lost to Zach Wilson...

Feel bad for Tua - guy has been nothing but nice and mature in his career, and he has been derailed by early season hype and poor medical support.  Guy is a decent QB when healthy.

 

I expect the line to move to Bills -15 or HIGHER.  Hopefully we win this game and keep injury free as we move to divisional.

 

What we have seen from the Bills over the years - they FEAST on below average QBs.  Their defense is great at making QB's play well and make good throws consistently.  I expect Skyler to struggle
