Fins Week… early thoughts?

Re: Fins Week… early thoughts?

I think Miami shot their wad last week and stats say they will come back to earth. And is the pervading thought here, take away the middle of the field and make him throw wide. Keep arms up in the air, he needs a passing lane. Bernard should look for his passing lanes and go there.

Our secondary is savvy, but probably way too slow (old) to handle the speed Miami is going to bring.

I think McD will do a good job equaling the other McD schematically.

Our LBs are light and fast and instinctive. That will help.

Our defensive line is pretty big and fast. Tua is short. Get your hands up! That will help.

Bottom line, we're going to have to out score them.

This is not a week for Josh to play conservative. But if we can get more of these wonderful, sustained, 10+ play drives that eat up 8 minutes of the clock... That would be the recipe for success.

If we lose, it isn't the end of the world, but it does put us in a pretty big hole in the division.

Tua is no freaking joke man... The dude is frail, but he can play!

I think this one is going to be a shoot out.

Josh is going to have to be superman in this game. Most games, we just need him to stay grounded and level headed.

Not this game.

This is the game where we unleash incredible hulk Josh and just roll the dice. He will either destroy everything or save the day. Bruce Banner time BayBee.

Historically, Josh is a Fish murderer!

Keep Josh clean and we'll be fine.

Most games, we just need Josh to play smart. Not this week. I think this week we unleash sugar high Josh and let the chips fall where they may. Sugar high Josh kills things. Sometimes it is suicide, but more often than not, he kills the other guys. This week, I say eff it!

I'm expecting the worse and hoping for the best. I'm used to seeing our D shut down crap QB's then getting run over by good ones. I'm glad we're having this test early so we know if they're real or fake. Even if the D is for real Miami will move the ball. If they are for real they will force FG's instead of TD's and get a couple turnovers. If they do that and Josh has his best game so far this year I think we'll win.

Elam and Hamlin suit up this week? Both are quick and Elam is known to be better in Man cover….

If they play man they might as well concede right now.

Miami is good, but I am gonna say Bills 42, Dolphins 31. 70 is impressive, but Denver is a special kind of bad this year. I am a lot more worried about the Dolphins game in December, but I like the Bills with a good win in Buffalo

We should avoid man against Hill and Waddell at all costs.

I’m worried about misdirection runs. The bills have shown
a relative weakness to those early in the year

I'm tellin ya, this is a FG game.

Both offenses will be stymied.

It's going to come down to the kicking....and the kick coverage.

What about the Dolphins D is stymiable?

Divisional game.

Re: Fins Week… early thoughts?

I would normally say we know each other ..... however .... our defense is so less predictable than in the past that I believe we'll create a few surprises. This week we get to see what McD has in his bag of tricks.

...and that will be how they eke out a victory, Woodsie.

That, and our run game on offense.

Weather will NOT be a factor, as it is supposed to be 78 and sunny all weekend.

We're just different enough to make a difference.

There was a nice breakdown back in February from Cover 1 that offenses keyed on Bills nickel CB positioning pre-snap to read whether it is a run defense set or an pass defense set.

It sort of confirmed a lot of us were thinking then - teams know what the Bills D were doing towards the end of last season.

I hope the Bills learned a lesson and strengthening their self scouting. This kind of back and forth will continue this year too. Actually right about now, the 4th game, people are going to identify trends any team is doing and come up with counter-measures.
