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. 

 

The Miami thing stems back to last year.  Did we beat anyone good last year?  Miami is a good team.  There were many that think they are contenders. They haven't beaten a good team though.  Doesn't mean they can't.  Just means they haven't.

 

This is a Bills board full of Bills fans.  What do you care if people dog Miami or not?

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

Unless he fell down a flight of stairs in the last hour, of course he is playing...

Well it’ll be the third game in a row (Joe was tearing us up last year in the Damar game) Joe would have outperformed Josh, so…..

Yeah. If josh is ultra efficient and scores on most drives, we should win even if our defense has a mediocre game. 
 

 

What is it with the weird memory lapses about the Hamlin game?  Burrow drove the Bengals for an easy TD.  Allen drove the Bills to a 1st & goal but they had to settle for a FG when Allen couldn't connect with Beasley.  So Allen was throwing to Beasley and Burrow was throwing to his three headed group of all pro WR's.

 

On their 2nd possession the Bengals got a 1st down near midfield and then Hamlin almost died.  How anyone can say Burrow outperformed Allen after only a half of the FIRST QUARTER had been played is beyond me.

It's all about the source.

If you read that poster's musings you'll be feeling a lot of that "How anyone can say .....  is beyond me."

of the three big games today the home team won them all.  Chiefs, ravens and looks like philly is going to hold on.

 

hope the bills break that streak tonight

[Success]

Well, Bills fans - in the words of one of the greats....WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU RATHER BE?!!!!

Yeah, I don't get it either.  Didn't get it last year either.  Sure, Cinci moved the ball easily on us.  The Bills were also moving the ball easily.  Who knows what would have happened that game.  McD's defense could have adjusted.  Our O could have fell apart.  Josh might have been superman in a shootout. We could have gotten blown out. Anything could have happened. 

 

The game in the playoffs was a completely different game and doesn't justify peoples feelings on what could have happened in the first game.  We start slow all the time and people freak out in the GDT's.  Sometimes we go on to blow that opponent out.  Sometimes we still win close.  Sometimes we lose close.  We rarely get blown out.

It does apply.  The Bills suck.  We get it.  Anyone who thinks the Bills have a chance has no clue.  I am not even watching.  Gonna vacuum the garage.

McDermott better start Douglas. I dont wanna here crap about learning. If Dobbs can come in and lead the Vikings to a win at the damn QB position, then there isn't a reason Douglas can't play. 

[Breakout Squad]

Bengals crowd is gonna be crazy tonight. I’m hoping there’s no false starts.

Hoping we don't have a slow start like they've been doing. Gotta start hot and quiet that crowd.

Josh checking that shoulder out during the pregame drills.

[Herc11]

They just showed Josh warming up, taking snaps.

I don't care. Just like to see consistentency when fans talk about their team vs other teams.
