I’m on vacation in Disney - it’s Wine and Dine half marathon weekend. Wearing a Bills shirt this morning at breakfast, and a guy in a Dolphins hat approached me and said “you guys are gonna kick our ass tomorrow.”

 

Dolphins fans coming to terms with the fact that Josh is in fact their Daddy.

got a ton of “Go Bills!” when I went to Disney and Universal this past May.  Have fun!!!

Our DL owns their OL and they're missing their best 3 DL. If we don't win by 30 we're pathetic.

I just can’t get over the BUF -6 line.  Even with a fully healthy Dolphins’ O.  It’s bizarre

Cake Walk!

 

Feels like Bills should roll but that probably means we are down by 3 at the half. 
 

a few years ago I think we were in a 3-3 ball game against the Dolphins at the half and then pulled away in the second half and wound up winning by two scores.

You’d think Miami would’ve taught that lesson well last year.

That's the kind of lesson you can only learn first hand.

And typically need to learn more than once. 

I hope tomorrow is not another tutorial.

I’m scared for tuas health in this one. I do not want to witness him get a concussion ever again, but it feels inevitable.

The -6 line makes me think it will be closer than expected. Still, I am finding it hard to not hammer it. 🤣

Especially with the safety situation I keep asking myself "what's going to stop our run game from having a repeat of last time?" 

Mostly if the Fins decide to bring the safety in and stack the box to keep the run game in check. At which point Brady and Allen would say “thank you” and light the skies on fire.

That’s because Miami is missing almost half of their starters on defense - including 3 out of their 4 best players.  
 

Also, lines are based most only on past trends.  And almost all of them favor Buffalo.  
 

Of course…this is why you play the games

It should be more like -10.

 

They had a fully healthy offense for most of the game in week 2 while we were missing Taron Johnson, Bernard went down early in that game and we still destroyed them by 3 scores. In Miami. It easily could have been worse of the Bills wanted to score more points and didn't just try and run the clock out on the game.

 

Games in Buffalo have been a house of horrors for them for the most part.

 

If they keep the game within 2 TDs they will have done well. The average margin of victory for the Bills is 15 points over the last 13 games.

Trubisky should get a good stretch in....he might be going in early in the 3rd quarter to hand the ball of 30 times until the game ends.

Buffalo Joe probably will get action early in the 3rd.  12 tackles and 2 TFL will be his stat line.

Hope you're right, but it's crap like this that jinxes things.

 

Better hope we're ahead at the half now...you'll be on the most wanted list if not 😁

Bills need to stop teasing the Phish and have players start going to licker room early with minor injuries.

Ever notice how so many Bills games have this season have been presented by the media as a “must win?” The opposing team is portrayed as fired up and desperate, makign them extra dangerous.

 

Week 2 - Miami needs to send a message

Week 3 - Jacksonville can’t go 0-3 to start the season

Week 6 - Jets can’t go 2-4. They need to win for their coaches.

Week 8 - Seattle can’t lose ground to SF

Week 9 - Miami can’t go 2-6.

 

I think all of these are exaggerations and I’ve never been a fan of calling a game a “must win” unless it truly is.

Yep, I was there. My brother got married at the tailgate before the game. 
 

It’s one of two games I have been to in Buffalo.

We are in their heads…no way the Fins win 😎

There is no hubris. Josh Allen sees Jalen Ramsey on the field and sees red.

 

The one sided Josh Allen Revenge Tour continues unabated.

So you’re saying this is a trap game?

I definitely agree with the must win sentiment and extra dangerous theme, but I think it's been people on TBD propping up the desperation more than the media. Some on here find ANY angle to give the opponent the upper hand in their minds.

I'm having all kinds of weird thoughts figuring out just what a licker room would look like.
