September 19th 2021, Hard Rock Stadium, 1pm game. I'm assuming a big week one victory over the Patriots but here we are marching into week 2 vs. a team we must beat in order to win the AFC East. The last time we saw these guys they were kicking us all around the field before finally winning the game by a lopsided 56-26. Since that game the Dolphins have had a great off-season and the Bills got Uof M pass rusher Gregory Rousseau. The Dolphins had a much more dynamic draft imo. We got Jaelen Waddle and Jaelan Phillips 1 and 2, massive upgrade. Then we shored up RT and Safety with absolute studs! Are we ready to compete with the Bills?

To compete with Buffalo we have to stop their run and get a ton of pressure on Allen. Last game Allen had all day back in the pocket. Will Jaelen Phillips come in and be the guy that makes the difference against Allen? With Ogbah, Van Ginkle, Baker, Phillips, Davis and Wilkins is it enough to get a strong pass rush the whole game? Also, we should be able to double Diggs and make them hurt you with someone else.

Anyway, this is a quiet time and I was wondering if you guys and girls thought we were ready to take Buffalo down. If not, why and if so, how!!
 
Like many games this upcoming year, it is about the TUA. Obviously we limped into that last game, particularly on the offensive side. Controlling the clock and putting up points will aid our defense the greatest.

Until our offense takes a leap, Buffalo will own us. They are a star running back away from being an Offensive juggernaut. Mind you they are pretty damn good already.

With that said, look at what the Chiefs did in the AFC Championship game and copy that. Much easier said than done.

I think this is fairly realistic.
I do not think we can duplicate last years defense. Still a good defense but hard to expect X to match his int numbers ( and that assumes he isnt traded).
I expect improvement. Much of that depends on youthful growth - Jackson, Kindley, Hunt, Bowden, Tua, etc etc.

I think our defense is going to be better than last year.
 
I'm with Scotty. I think we added some exceptional pieces to an already damn good defense. Phillips and Holland will be day one starters and both are going to ball out! McKinney gives us a very good run stopper, something we've lacked. Another year in the system we should be better.
 
hard to tell at this point. We should know more after the pre season games and after week one. We'll see how much progress we've made by then but right now is all on paper and that doesn't count.
 
X Had a huge impact on our defense last year, so his apparent hold out may prevent us from taking a significant step forward. This is just one of multiple unknowns that make it too difficult to predict. I know that our talent is better so our ceiling should be higher.
