Waddle has a high ankle sprain, those take at least 4 weeks to recover from am sure he's definitely out.

Everything I read said Miami was optimistic Waddle would be back for the playoffs.  It would have made the bye week huge.  I don’t think he’s playing next week.  If he does he won’t be 100%

I won't believe it until I see he does not dress

Our best bet is that Dolphins have already clinched the playoffs and have no home field advantage anyhow so does seeding really matter? If anyone is banged up maybe they decide not to rush them back so they are ready for the playoffs

Yes.  #2 seed means they host a home wild card game and if they win that then they host the divisional round.  Huge difference than going on the road to the #3 seed (KC) as a sixth seed.

Just tackle low,  one good shoulder tackle and if he plays it won't last

Prepare like you fully expect everyone to play cause this is it. There isn’t a tomorrow

The Dolphins are going to be all kinds of banged up no matter what next week...

 

But it's not the Dolphins I'm worried about... I know who the Bills worst enemy is. They will be wearing red, white, and blue. And if they are missing blocks, dropping the ball, missing opening receivers, throwing ill advised passes, and generally being outcoached and outexecuted it won't matter who they play.

That could be contagious. Pass.

Not if it's caused by spoiled shrimp at the Dolphins pregame meal

Seahawks screwed us. We need to win. I don’t trust the Titans or Ravens winning next week. 

[dma0034]

Imo every time Mostert is on the field and not Achane it's a win for the Bills.

 

If Waddle is limited or can't play that's huge. He always seems to have huge games against the Bills.

I concur.  I had that Friday...no way I could have played football.

Oh, they would have taken you to the training room and packed you tight.  No problem playing.😂

Just throwing this out to consider. Not that I think they would follow it. Dolphins are playing round one in the playoffs no matter what.

 

I don't know if it makes sense for them to sell out for a super physical game against us or just try and get healthy. I understand it's for the division, but both these teams have bigger goals they're focusing on and if Miami goes all in and losses it will be a huge blow.

Winning the AFC East and booting us from the playoffs is Miami’s Super Bowl.

...Tagovailoa’s throwing arm (his left) was rolled up on at the end of a fourth-down scramble for a gain that didn’t continue the drive.

 

Pass rusher Bradley Chubb, whose 11 sacks leads the Dolphins defense, suffered what appears to be a right knee injury on a late fourth-quarter drive, and was carted off the field.

 

And cornerback Xavien Howard suffered a troublesome foot injury on the Ravens first possession of the game and never returned to the contest.

 

All three injuries could drastically alter how the Dolphins operate on offense and defense in the season finale against the Buffalo Bills...

I'm getting flashback of the Bengals playoff game and their oline issues.

 

Sometimes the next man up sets up.

Is every game we play someone else’s Super Bowl? That’s all that is said as of late. 
 

It’s not. They have a super tight window with their salary cap. They didn’t do everything they did to not win the actual Super Bowl and just be division champs.

I was convinced the fins would tank vs Dallas and Baltimore and come into our game healthier with a 3 week rest. Now the fins only incentive is to win and guarantee with the 2 seed they can get 2 home games.
