33-20 Bills.
Most fish points will be in garbage time when we're in prevent.

It's going to be a reality check for someone.
The Dolphins have looked good, especially with that big comeback on the road against a good Ravens team. Everyone expected the Bills to be good, but I don't think anyone expected them to have two dominant blowouts to start the season. Someone will be coming back down to earth.
Honestly, with all the injuries on D, I think we are going to need to be perfect on O to win. And we really need the pass rush to be good. Hill and Waddle are going to beat our banged up secondary- that's a given. What isn't a given is Tua being able to get them the ball. We really need to make him uncomfortable back there.

Another factor is that it's an away game for the Bills, and we also had a short week whereas it's a home game and a normal/longer week for the Phins.
That's going to make things a little tougher for the Bills, but I think they can still win as long as the random stuff (that happens in every game) doesn't bite them too hard, and Josh Allen is playing at the top of his game again.

The way to beat Tua is to take away his passing lanes. Arms up in the air and constant pressure with collapsing pocket. He admitted he's short and he can't see the whole field. Force him to throw into certain areas and bat down balls at the LOS.
Lou Saban: You can get it done, you can get it done. And what’s more, you’ve gotta get it done.
Hyde is a big one. He's most instinctive one in our secondary and has great hands. Almost always recognize where the passing play to be right after the post snap.
On the positive side, we finally get to see what Jaquan Johnson is like back there. He's going to replace one of Hyde and Poyer next year.

The only “reality check” is going to be for the Dolphins.
They have everything to prove and are simply not equipped to beat the Bills. They come back to earth after their improbable 4th Q. comeback from the result of a Baltimore melt down. The Bills are NOT the Ravens.
Yes, we have defensive injuries in the secondary. So what? Defense is a TEAM event, and the defensive TEAM remains extremely strong. Biggest loss is Micah Hyde, and there is no reason to believe that Jaquan Johnson will not be able to fill in and hold his own.
The pressure is on the two young CB’s, but they have been playing quite well. The D-line is solid as can be. Phillips is going to missed, but not that much since the strength in the Bills D-line is the depth and eight different players that are extremely capable and compliment each other. And as we saw last week (after Oliver and Settle missed the game) C.J. Brewer and Brandin Bryant provide little drop off.
Milano and Edmunds have been playing excellent, and are part and parcel of the pass defensive scheme that is working just as expected.
The Bills are the best defensive team in the NFL preventing the long ball, and I believe that there will be little fall all (although there is will be some) against the Fins.
This might turn out to be a shootout game....but that STILL heavily favors the Bills. Josh Allen OWNS the Fins. And with Davis coming back and the Dolphins not being able to stop the pass this year....there will be no repeat of a big 4th Q. comeback.
The only change (because of Dane Jackson and Hyde injuries) is that the game may be a little bit closer.
Will anyone (in the whole NFL world) be surprised if the Bills win by two or three scores??? I think not.

LOL I love it, not because I think you're wrong but because I love how honest and blunt that reply is.
Well, You say that buuuuuuuuuuuut the film suggests otherwise

Reality check for who ? A few posters who believe the season is a disaster if the Bills don't enter the playoffs undefeated ?
We'll lose games. I remember 7-6 after 13 games last year only too well, before they kicked it in and won their last 4.
Long injury report is a concern. Might have to outscore them but Baltimore looked so pathetically bad on D when viewing those 2nd half highlights. The was a Ravens collapse.
Miami is no juggernaut and they have issues on D themselves.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

Jaquan Johnson is in his fourth YEAR, not his “3rd game”.
He was drafted in 2019 by the Bills.
Davis said 100% he is playing. He probably has family going to that game. But I don't know how effective he will be.

I also won't be surprised Ed Oliver is out again.
Josh to light em up and run em ragged
33*60*95*128*141*144*160*163*204*221
I think and hope McKenzie may break out this game. Fins go man, and Byron Jones on IR, he should feast.
Like Kazie posted earlier, Josh needs to be on very top of his game this Sunday. Like Brady, Rodgers, and Mahomes have done time and time again when you think their defenses are terrible and the opposing teams should have enough to beat them. Well those guys show why they are the superstars and MVPs carrying the team to victories (how many times we are on the other side during Brady's run in AFC East?).
Now to Josh though, it does not mean he needs to have a mindset to come out throw 60 times and every pass turns into a TD pass. Making the right decisions, including handing off when he needs to instead of running every play by himself, he can do it. The Rams version of Josh should be good enough.

Oliver is out as well.

Well, we are missing 3/4 of our starting defensive backfield (counting Tre) and both of our best interior pass rushers, but we do have this going for us:
(Its really a good video).
Mind games against Tua. I like it our chances.

The Family is NOT officially saying Miami Dolphin fans are stupid however it was observed just this afternoon that a Dolphins fan dressed in the teal could not operate the self-check out at The Dollar Store (true story).
