After 8 weeks........

The AFC East is the only division with three teams that control their own destiny for the division crown. Should be a very fun second half........

The key for both the Bills and Dolphins is to stay close To Patriots until we play them again. Then we both need to beat them in December at the Gillette. The Bills haven't beaten the Patriots in December since 1999. The Dolphins beat them in December last year to end a streak but it was in Miami. It's going to be a tall task to keep up with them and the beat them in their own backyard.

Division opponents are always huge games, but the monkey on the Bills back about playing the Patriots is almost too unreal.

should definitely be an interesting 2nd half of the season

Neither team is taking the crown away from the Patriots this year.

Sammy Watkins is a beast. That's what I know thru half way point.

I knew he was gonna be as a freshman at Clemson.

Going to be a tough task. Buffalo or Miami will need to break this 2 year streak of 14 straight wins at home.
We had our chances last year and the refs stepped in to keep the streak alive.

I have to tell you that it is great too meet Buffalo at halftime or later of the season in a game which means a lot for both teams. It is a throwback to the 80s and 90s which probably were some of the most exciting times.
And to be honest I am kinda glad that the Bills are up this year. Dolphins fans may bitch and complain a lot but our experience is nothing compare to that of the Bills fans. The last memory of a playoff game is that famous Music City Miracle which seemed to have put a huge curse on the Bills.

Why would you say that? If either team stays close enough to have the game up in Foxboro mean something, why not? The Jets almost pulled it off. And they suck the donkey. Any given Sunday, any team can beat any team except the Jets who can only beat the Raiders - barely.
