Cold locker room with sticky benches.

So you’re saying this is a trap game?   

 

See?

 

Now you're the one setting a trap...

 

Because as we've repeatedly been corrected...

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. 

I was concerned until after this last one he chose his ego over  his family.  To paraphrase Ivan Drago " If he's concussed...he's concussed".

If I'm Miami, I'm going to try and strike early with Hill. Put the Bills on their heels.

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

Easy win for the Bills !!

 

Let Bills fans eat, drink and be merry tomorrow!

On FlightAware, Dolphins plane is GTI8086.  A 747.  Was just crossing into Pennsylvania from W. Va. as I was posting this.  A big bird for Buffalo, unusual to see a 747 here.

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 one of those guys, though I generally keep it to myself. It's emotionally easier for me if I lower my expectations as the game approaches. The Bills are going to walk onto the field complacent. Tua has something to prove. They're underestimating the Dolphins offense. They have a great run game. Hill/Waddle is an elite duo. There's all sorts of ways a pessimist like myself can build up a clearly inferior team like the Dolphins. Then when the Bills, once again, stomp the Fish into the turf, it almost feels like a happy surprise.

may be an unpopular opinion but i think damar hamlin deserves to be benched, he’s out there and yes he has 2 interceptions but they are all straight to him he is just out there , slow and scared to make big tackles

I’ve been beating the drum to get Bishop up to speed but most here don’t care. He got beat once so apparently he’s done and a bad pick.🤦‍♂️

The only thing that concerns me is the law of averages. At some point, even by complete fluke, you’ve gotta think Miami is going to pull one off.

 

I don’t think it’s this week. Our McD takes their McD to school every single time. Their defense is decimated. Tua still hasn’t figured out the 2-high shell which is our bread and butter. Our McD is going to force their McD to be methodical and take the short stuff all game. I don’t think their McD can do it for 60 minutes, especially if we get ahead by 10 points. Just double Hill every play, shadow the other coverage to Waddle, and make their McD beat us with River friggin Craycraft and their RBs. If Miami can’t run against the light boxes we are going to give them this game should be a short one.

 

BUT, it’s a division game, and I don’t care what anyone says whacky sht can happen. I’ll be happy with a W no matter how it comes. I don’t need style points, I don’t need a first half blow out (although I want that), all we need is the W.

 

Just win baby

Miami is one of the few teams that fly in the Atlas 747 every year.  Then they get spanked in Buffalo and sent home in it.

[Bills!Win!]

With the way their defense is injured, the only way we lose is 42-38 right? 

[Doc Brown]

I'm guessing either Cooper or Samuel misses tomorrow.  At least they didn't elevate two WR's.

Strong start. no sleepwalking

Exactly. In the last game I noticed a couple of tackles where he shot in there and wrapped up with no hesitation. 

He had two good solo tackles against Seattle. Teams with speed eat him alive and he has to play off, way off so they don’t get behind him. Those games he’s king of diving on the pile after the tackle is made. He will be a liability in the playoffs.

I didn't think Buffalo could handle a 747, but sherpa clued me in regarding upgrades that KBUF had made over the years.

Not sure I get the “desperation” angle.  Last week at home against Arizona was their desperation game.  Win and they’re 3-4 and still have a heartbeat.  Lose and you’re 2-5 going to Buffalo. Well, they lost.  Fins’ offense has to have a spectacular game to pull this off and I just don’t see it happening.

Just watched the Jon Gruden breakdown video, and it had a ton of good information in it.

 

A couple things he pointed out was that the Bills have run the fewest amount of play action plays in the league, despite all their running success. He also said we've had 16 false start penalties, and penalties in general were the Bills Achilles heel.

 

But overall, he heaped tons of praise on the team. Here it is if anyone is interested -
