Chris Brown says Douglas on STs but maybe not Defense…we are the only team in the league that can’t trust guys to be integrated 

ST only makes no sense. FWIW, Joe B. predicted more than 25 snaps on D.

Okay, now I am seeing reports of Josh not throwing on the field, but Kyle Allen is. WTH?? 

Time to put on your big boy/girl pants.

I feel bad for reading here and seeing a lot of hope and optimism. I want to feel it, but I can't. Ugh!!

 

Maybe it's just the last two games against them. I know the first was a whopping 9 minutes total, but they looked like they were going to move with effortless ease every time they had the ball. Same thing happened in the divisional. I guess I don't know what exactly would make it different this time around? Looks like Josh is most likely going to have to put on his cape for us to have a chance.

 

Just not feeling good about this one, but would love to be proven wrong.

I feel the same way. I don't see a wide path for the Bills to win. 

 

The Bengals are bad match up for the Bills. Burrow is elite and runs a great west coast offense. He reads the Bills defense and shreds to Bills zone. They mix in the run, are great at screens, and take their shots deep when he sees one on one coverage. This is a defensive nightmare for the Bills. I'd feel better if we had a healthy Von, Milano, Tre, and Jones. Without that this seems like a daunting task. 

 

The Bills offense has to be flawless. However, Lou A had shown to confuse the offense. He has taken Dorsey to the woodshed. Hard to feel confident he can outmaneuver his defense. 

 

We fans gotta hope for the best.

Optimism with low expectations is my new cocktail.

 

Enjoy you cyanide cocktail.  Like Japanese pufferfish it is thrilling but dangerous.

We all know how you feel.  You have said this same post like 100 times this week.  You don't need to look for opportunities to repeat yourself like a broken record.

Stefon going with the cornrows tonight. A new look for him. I likes it.

They beat Miami

 

Josh has a bum shoulder

That's my point Scott. Most on here think Miami isn't very good.

They are good enough to be a playoff team.  Anything can happen in the playoffs.

You can stand behind what you say without saying it 100 times.  It gets old man.

I know, but if it's THAT bad that he can't even be on the field, I am wondering if it's worth playing him. This sucks, but I hate the thought of it getting even worse tonight.

The general theme on here is the Dolphins can't beat good teams. Hence, they aren't very good.  Correct? 

 

Just wondering why that theme doesn't apply to Buffalo this year. Scott, they haven't beaten anyone good. 

 

It's hypercritical of people to sling mud at the Dolphins when their record indicates similar results.

This is one of those games where McDermott can shake the narrative that he is in fact Marvin Lewis’s long lost cousin by ironically playing against the team that employed one Marvin Lewis.  

Ahh, the vocal minority thinks this is a narrative. Just cuz a few lynch mob members shout it doesn’t mean it’s a thing. I guess Andy Reid is a long lost cousin who took like 20 years to win one. Is Kyle Shanahan a relative too?

Yes, if he is capable of playing then he should play.  It probably isn't something that can get worse.  It's probably just about managing pain.

he wasn’t even given an injury designation. He’s likely just getting treatment….
