How many points will the Fish score this week?

[eball]

Just curious what people are thinking going into Miami week against Tua and the video game offense.

[BuffaloBillyG]

I went with 21-30. That offense is really explosive. However I think a few things combine not slow it this week.

 

1. Defensively, we are better then Denver.

2. McDermott always has something cooked up in these situations.

3. The crowd noise may factor in.

4. I think we see an emphasis of running this week to shorten the game and limit Miami's possessions. 

[Ya Digg?]

Less than 70

[Realist]

I went 21-30, thinking they put up 30 on the Bills. I do think Buffalo wins something like 35-30, at least they better, I'm going to this game.

[Albany,n.y.]

77, this time they go for the record.  Unfortunately for them, the Bills score 84, on 2 late TDs, win by 7, and get the record that Miami thought they had achieved.  

[Buffalo_Stampede]

This should be a classic game. 
 

I saw a stat that Tua’s passing stats are identical to last years first 3 games, which includes a game vs a beat up Bills defense. They scored 21.

I want to go and watch that game.....crazy they scored 10 offensive TD's with minimal turnovers.  I saw some interesting no look screens from Tua....the BIlls will have to have a plan for that.  I think both teams will score a lot....over under at like 53, I would take the over.  These are two of the best teams in the league.

Helen Keller school for the deaf, mute, and blind is better than Denver

Supposed to be warm and sunny Sunday. Perfect weather for a track meet type game. Miami will be happy for sure. Would have to think it’ll probably take at least 31+ to win this one for either side.

That over/under is enticing. If forced to pick I may be tempted at the "under". I think both teams play a bit more run game/ball control to keep the other team from possessing the ball. Longer lasting slower moving drives. 27-23 type game when all is said and done.

It is certainly interesting to note that the Bills have only given up two defensive TDs through three games…and none since the Raiders’ first drive of W2.

 

Every time I look at this game I have to ask myself which of the four main units (Bills O and D, Fish O and D) is the weakest?  The answer is always the Fish D.

 

[Rico]

7 before Tua gets squished, 6 after.

It comes down to the Bills finishing off drives with tds. We are capable of putting up points and I would like to believe with Harris and Murray we can add some nasty in the run game, something the Dolphins have yet to see out off Bills in quite awhile. The Dolphins are going to score points no question about that imo. But if the defense can get some timely stops and force a few field goals, I think we can win in a close one.

[Process]

Less than the Bills. 

 

17-28 is my guess

Take the over 

[Maynard]

Watch this game be all defense and low scoring.

[Radar]

I see it as a high scoring game. Still concerned about our secondary against Tua and his receivers. Our offense better be on.

Agree with your points.  I think our DL will continue to wreak havoc this week, along with the coverage skills of our DBs and LBs.  If I needed to build a defense that could match up with Miami, the way ours is built would be close to it.  My biggest concern is the speed of guys like Hill in the open field against some of our older DBs. 

[k2mountain]

I'm concerned about 32 year old Poyer/Hyde. Can they keep up with Miami's speed?

[gordong]

I don't see Tua having a lot of time in the pocket... be spot on on the short to med throws bills win.  say 24 points.
