...Because, when it comes to Prime Time games at Ralph Wilson Stadium (or hell, Prime Time games in general) the Bills' record is one to be proud of, right...?
Oh, by the way, in case you didn't know, that "terrible ass Miami " is 4-5 (which means that they are ahead of the Bills) while having a rookie head coach and a rookie starting quarterback.
Also, in case you didn't know, Chan Gailey is 0-4 against Miami as Bills head coach, last year losing to interim head coach Todd Bowles.
Finally, even if the Bills beat the Dolphins on Thursday, that's only 1/5 of the puzzle... In order for you to even have a chance to be right, the Bills have to have a 4 game winning streak... Chan Gailey has had exactly ONE 4 game winning streak in his NFL career and that was with a Dallas Cowboys team that had Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin nearly 15 years ago. The Bills haven't had a 4 game winning streak since 2008.
Bills history and Chan Gailey's history both point to you being wrong. I'll take history over your word.

Fine, but let's keep in mind, I'm not saying that the Bills won't win on Thursday... I'm saying they won't win all of the 5 games that were mentioned earlier.
Every year recently, us fans have gone in thinking that sweeping Miami was a given... It hasn't been.
The Colts, with Andrew Luck, are 6-3... They beat the same Tennessee team on the road that the Bills couldn't beat at home... The game is in Indy, too.
Jacksonville is probably the easiest game of the 5. It's in Buffalo and the Jags aren't a very good team... But, for some reason, they have had the Bills' number recently, winning the last 2 and 3 of the last 4.
The Rams just played your San Francisco 49ers to a tie and should have won the game, if a penalty had not negated a long pass at the start of OT, on the same field that the 49ers beat the Bills 45-3.
To say the Bills will win Thursday is one thing, but to say they're gonna win 4 in a row, not to mention win out (as you claimed in your initial post) is a lot tougher to digest, especially given the Bills history throughout this season and the past 12 seasons.
As much as I'd like to be wrong, I just don't see it all happening.

Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.
Right now, I would say that the Rams, Colts and Seahawks are all better than us.
The Dolphins and Jets are a coin flip with us.
Only the Jags are definitely worse than us.
How anyone can see us winning 6 out of our 7 next games is beyond me.
First, this will never happen because this team sucks on an almost incomprehensible level.
Second, do you REALLY want to be in that situation? The Jets already whooped us once this year and we've been terrible in the division. More importantly, this team has a propensity for soul-crushing defeats so we all know exactly what would happen: Bills win 6 in a row to have a "win and in" situation against the Jets, get off to a fast start, go into the 4th quarter with a 14 point lead, and then manage to squander it and lose on a last second field goal. It's the type of "kill your inner child" loss that this team is built for.
I haven't lost faith actually haha.

I will be very surprised if we win 3 more games.
Keep dreaming. You act like the Colts and Rams are pushovers when the Colts are 6-3 and the Rams have shown that they can actually beat good teams and not just feed on the worse teams in the league.
As far as the Dolphins go it wouldn't matter if they were the worse team in the league with the way we play against divisional opponents. If we're lucky we might split them games. Then to say that Seattle doesn't impress you? A 6-4 team that has knocked off some pretty good teams this year but that should be an easy win to you? Jacksonville is the only gimmie the rest of the way and even that's not a guarantee with this team.
I want whatever you're taking if you REALLY believe that this team is going to run the table and make the playoffs. We've lost 14 out of our last 18 games and you think all of a sudden this team is good enough to real off 7 straight wins to end the season? LOL.
Even the top teams in the league have trouble winning 7 games in a row. Only one team in the Falcons made it that far this year with winning 8 games in a row but this crappy inconsistent team is going to do it? I bet you wouldn't but any money in Vegas on it.
And the Chiefs only lost by 3 points to the Ravens and the Steelers. and beat New Orleans. I guess they are primed for a run pretty soon too.
The Patriots also only beat the Jets by a FG in a game that went into OT. The Cardinals also beat the Patriots. I guess the Jets should've been primed for a run after that game too.
This thread is so pathetic. I thought for sure the homers would be gone by now. I guess there are a few of them left out there.
Just keeping it alive.
Alright... on the road... to pull within one game of a fellow wild card contender.
Indi has beaten:
- Jville
- Cleveland
- Minny
- Tenn
- Miami
- Green Bay
They've lost to:
- Jville
- Chicago
- New England
- Jets
Sorry... this is an entirely beatable team. I expect Fitz to have a big game.
A win here opens out the possibility of what I've put out there, given we have 3 consecutive home games against Jville, St. Louis and Seattle following.
