Starting two rookie corners against Hill and Waddle certainly isn't ideal, but at least our front seven should be ready to go.
Miami's D is not playing well yet. The Injuries at corner are definitely showing and X can't do it all by himself. Jones comes back week 5 but IF (IF) Miami's line can stand up to the bills rush it should be another shootout like last week. If Miami's O line cannot, then it will look like the Bills game vs. The titans.
If there's one thing that can bring Buffalo and Miami fans together, it's being glad that people are talking about our rivalry taking off again because New England isn't relevant any more.
I started getting into football back in the Kelly/Marino days. I was young, like 6/7 years old, I've ALWAYS hated Miami, ALWAYS.. I actually got kinda pissed when we had Brian Cox Jr on the team.
Those were the days - the Bills and Dolphins being good year after year and the Pats, Jets, and Colts being average, at best.
He seems to be pretty confident he'll play.
As a dolphin fan, my feeling is the game we need to beat the bills this year is likely the third time we face them. The first 2 probably don't matter.
That’s a long time for a “little ankle sprain” as Ed described it.
He said he’d 100% be out there.
Speaking of the weather, the Bills will be getting a little break on the heat. We've had a long streak of high temps in the low to mid 90s, including 94 yesterday with heat index well over 100. Today and tomorrow, winds will be switching to the north cooling us down to about 89 at game time with a heat index of only 99. 40% chance of a shower.
Dang. That’s gonna hurt.Oof. Hyde
Anyone have a link to a good writeup on the whole situation? I honestly didn't even see the play, so I've had no idea what to think about his injury. For whatever reason the game didn't seem to get a replay on NFLN, unless I missed it. I really wanted to re-watch just to see what the injuries looked like.
He's playing.
Definitely Johnson. He’s been in the wings for a while. He has the potential to be a pretty good player and the plan is likely for him to take over for Poyer next year. So now he gets to start a year early. Not ideal and ideal week for him to have to get in there to start with the speed of Hill and Waddle and all the other secondary injuries, but it’s next man up.
I have memories of the 70s and they were awful. Also remember tearing down the goal posts in our season opener in 1980 when we FINALLY beat the Dolphins.
It's hard to see, but there was a swarm of bees.
They even hired a Patriots Coach thru all of that
I agree, but they are 0-7 now in games decided by 7 points or less since the start of last season. No idea why they struggle to win the close games, but they need to figure it out. When they are firing on all cylinders, it is something to behold, as they can blow anyone out, but you can't expect to blow out everyone in the playoffs.
The historical data from Football Outsiders seems to indicate that one score games tend to have a lot of variance to them and that overall quality of team is more predictive of winning/losing close games than it being “a thing”. So it’s more likely that they’ve just had a bunch of bad beats in close games and that it will eventually swing back the other way.
Honestly, I have no idea. It should be a good game regardless, but between the bad weather expected and a whole lot of uncertainty as to who will actually be healthy and play for the Bills, I’m not really sure what to expect.
