    I'm reading one Bills defender was asked how to slow down our offense, and he answered with one word "Physical". They're going to focus on being physical and fundamentals according to McDermott.

    Tua has to be laser-focused like that Chargers game. Reek and the rest have to be pumped. The Dolphins must start fast.

    I agree about the D. Vic was brought in to formulate a plan for the Bills, although the last time he played them got trounced.

    McDaniel's use of pre-snap motion makes it difficult to jam or interrupt routes. The best thing about Waddle's return is that if the Bills are successful at jamming Hill and Waddle, it'll leave their CB3 & CB4 one-on-one with Berrios, Wilson, or Chosen. This would be a great time for Wilson to revert to the form that made him a priority signing before the Hill trade.

    I’m glad to get this game out of the way before the cold Buffalo weather arrives.

    I’m really looking forward to this one. It will be fascinating to see what McDaniel and Fangio have come up with to negate the jills on both sides of the ball.

    Not trounced more than our previous D coordinator was two out of three times last year.

    1 time. They turned it over 3 times and scored in the playoff game. They ended up giving up a lot of points but that was because the offense couldn't stay on the field.

    Well this does suck however, Van Ginkel has demonstrated he can fill in Fangio’s scheme just fine.

    Damar Hamlin is set to make his first start since his medical emergency. Hopefully he's ok and exposed for 3 touchdowns.

    Hamlin is being CELEBRATED for his return. Ok, good for him but I do find it hypocritically hilarious.

    Tua suffered 2 concussions last season and pundits were calling for him to retire to save his life.

    Hamlin literally DIED on the field… D-E-D dead and he’s being celebrated for his return.

    Like you, hope he’s SCORCHED for 3 TDs.

    I don't see it that way at all- a guy took a freak injury and he is lucky to be alive. That's a great feel-good story and I hope he plays well.

    I wonder how many Bills fans hope Tua plays well on Sunday. Sorry but other than wishing him the best health wise I hope he gets torched on the field.

    I won't even pretend to understand how that works since he caught a TD pass last week. I guess practice squad rules and such?

    This is ultimately bad news because it likely signals that one of our existing receivers won't be back anytime soon. I guess it's not a big deal as long as we have Waddle + Tyreek, but I never like hearing that someone is injured and out.

    I think this Buffalo defence is legit and they'll give us a game today, that being said their corners are not the quickest and so hopefully our speed demons can create enough separation to give Tua windows to pass into.

    This is the benchmark where we prove if we're legit and can hang with the biggest teams that this league has to offer.

    Buffalo 24-27 Miami

    In the 57 year history of the Miami Dolphins, they have started the season 4-0 only 6 times…

    1972
    1977
    1981
    1984
    1992
    1995

    Here’s looking to adding 2023 to that list.

    Interesting this game has the highest over/under at 53.5 points among games this week. It’s like Vegas doesn’t think the Bills defense can stop our offense. They also don’t think our defense can stop Allen. Not sure I agree with Vegas’ assessment.

    What an important game. We win we’re in the drivers seat for a 1st round bye. We lose we have to slug it out to make the playoffs. Either way this team has clearly turned the corner from consistent mediocrity.

    Now if I can only watch the full game lol. I’m timing a layover from Japan so that I can stream the full game precisely during the layover (when’s the last time you heard someone select flights like that!), but this depends on everything being on schedule. We’ll see lol.

    I’ll have to save all game commentary until this evening. Will be heading back to the Space Coast from Tampa here in a little bit from Tampa. Thank God for U-verse and the DVR lol.

    Here’s to 4-0!!!!!

    Connor Williams is out. Uh oh. I’m now really worried about our line getting dominated today. That’s a huge loss.

    Williams, Elliott and Phillips out game is going to get ugly. I blame people who talk crap all week before these big games.

    Glad I picked Buffalo in my pick em. Hopefully I can at least win that.

    Also got to stop the stupidity of dumb penalties. He's well out of bounds, why shove him Kohou? But... why throw the flags too refs? What a joke of a call, it's right, but it's a joke.

    Kind of like our defense on this first drive.

    Exactly what I was worried about our defense isn’t that good. Vic has to adjust quickly or we could be down 21. They have the 2nd best offense and top 3 defense in the league.

    Wow, you're a pathetic "fan". Both games last year were decided by 3 points, Did you really expect a shutout?

    He's pathetic anymore in the booth. He should be doing the Nickelodeon games. He's a clown. When he first started doing commentary he was good, now he just acts like a 12 year old.
