And here's the funny part. His response:
Anyone want to jump in there and straighten this guy out?

"...And when you look at the highly FLUKY nature of the Bills wins over the Phins, it could easily be pointed out that the BILLS should be the team that is worried.
In the first game, the Phins D held the Bills offense to 10 pts not aided by turnovers. And Ray Lucas turned in the worst QB performance in the history of the NFL! What was it? Six INTs? To a team that hadn't had ANY INTS before then! And even with all the INTs, the Phins still only lost by 13 pts.
In the second game, the Phins normally great pass defense looked like the WORST D in the league. Ricky Williams ran for 228 yards, and the Phins STILL lost.
Not to say the Bills didn't win those game or anything, but there were some highly FLUKY things occuring IMHO.
Can even an improved Bills team that does not get a major league dose of FLUKINESS beat the Phins?
Maybe. But who's to say?
Basing predictions on what happened last year is USUALLY a very bad idea. And when there is as much FLUKINESS surrounding past events as around those two Bills wins over the Phins, it is apt to be a REALLY BAD IDEA IMHO! LOL

Let's see....1...2...3...4.
Wow. Four references to FLUKY and FLUKINESS.
Of course, when the Dolphins win games, they're never FLUKY. Like the game last season against Indy, Denver and Oakland. That's because you were better and won them outright.
But when the Dolphins lose games, such as twice to the Bills, once to the Jets, and let's not mention the painful Minnesota and New England games at the end of the season, they were all FLUKY wins.
"Our normally great pass defense fell flat on their faces."
or
"The normally bone crushing Ricky Williams got stuffed."
Sure. And you accuse me of being unrealistic?

While I agree the Phins have had some luck to win a few games, name one team that hasn't at some point?
I fail to see how ADMITTING the Bills were the benefactors of some FLUKY bounces takes away from the Bills victories over the Phins?
You must recognize the FLUKINESS of those wins yourself, BFSIW, to have responded with such asinine responses IMHO.

Indy? - Miami came out smoking, put up some points, and then held on for dear life. The defense did a wonderful job of giving Peyton Manning a case of the happy feet, which is the way to beat him IMHO. Four INTs by Peyton I think?
Denver? - Now this example is far from fluky IMHO. Two last minute 50 plus yard FGs. Both teams played excellent football IMO. I assume you think Miami driving for the winning FG was FLUKY luck, but when Denver drove for the FG that gave them the lead just before the end of the game THAT was in no way FLUKY? LMAO!
Oakland? - Yeah, that's really a fluky example there, BFSIW? Miami holds the Raider passing attack in check for most of the day, keeps Gannon well under his passing average, and Miami has a record of beating Oakland in Miami recently. Man, talk about FLUKY? LMAO!

Who said anything about the Jets, Vikes, or Pats games being FLUKY? Certainly not me. Yet again, when you have to start FABRICATING something to bolster your argument, you have lost already IMHO, BFSIW.
Jets game - A BIG SCREW UP by Lucas gave the Jets there ONLY TD of the game. They won by 3 points. Not a FLUKE, just a case of Lucas stinking IMHO.
Vikes - Defense couldn't get off the field and Cris Carter dropped the game winning TD in the endzone. No fluke there IMHO. Just poor play all around.
Pats - Wannstedt's typical big game over-conservativeness rearing it's head again IMHO.
Just to clarify my postion on these games for you, BFSIW. I'd hate for you to start FABRICATING statements for me again. LMAO!

I think I said "normally GOOD pass defense" and if you call surrendering 228 yards to Ricky Williams "getting stuffed" then you have more problems than being unrealistic, BFSIW! LOL
I was just stating my opinion about the fluky occurrences in the Bills/Phins games. You may think the Bills just flat out dominated. I don't really care what you think.
But when you start telling us the Phins should be worried about playing the "improved" Bills because the stinky Bills of 2002 beat them twice, so the "improved" Bills of 2003 should murderize the Phins, you should expect to have your specious speculations called into question.
