Bills are a nightmare matchup for Miami

Uhm, no. The center and LT are both pro bowl quality and their RT and guard isn't far behind.

Um. Maybe in Canada. Sorry man but there is a solid gap between pro bowl and your RT/RG. Guess we'll find out Sunday.

I keep hearing about the d-line of Buffalo, but what about their secondary? Do they have the personnel to cover Hartline, Gibson and Landry? Who is their ace to cover Wallace all game? Anyone better than Revis that Mike scorched last week?
With Tannehill throwing much quicker, this awesome d-line of Buff me low may not be the factor it was last year.

Jay Cutler makes a lot of secondaries look good. I watched that game side by side with the Dolphins and nothing in their secondary jumped off the charts, not saying they can't capitalize on a mistake if Tannehill makes it but I like our extremely deep and varied group of receivers against almost everyone.

I wouldn't be surprised if Buffalo's d-line holds our offense at bay all game. I wouldn't be surprised if Miami repeats what they did several years ago and dominates them. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a close game and Dan Carpenter nets the game winner. It's a division game, and for some reason no matter which team seems the best on paper out of us, the Bills, and the Jets, the other seems to play spoiler that season.

True. The only thing that would surprise me is if both QBs completely light it up like what I imagine some of the Marino v Kelly matchups were like. If one QB manages to play well in this game its highly likely his team will win, and win easily.

Even with Browner out, the Patriots have a better secondary IMHO. I think our passing game will have the best opportunities this weekend if pass protection isn't a complete disaster this go around.

All most Bills fans have to go by is our offense last year...including Sherman's pre-school predictability and lack of originality in scheming and play-calling. Calling it vanilla is an understatement. TOTALLY different ball-game this year.

And the same goes for Buffalo. They'll have EJ in the game, so to an extent they'll be unpredictable to what we're used to seeing when we play them.

Division games are so damn iffy...you just NEVER know.

Love how NFL fans base "change" based on one game.

"Oh our offense is soooo different ... Based on one game"

Bills fans do it too. All fans do it. Ridiculous though.
 
I've watched Buffalo's game against the Bills in detail (I took at least three hours to analyze each play in slow motion, then watched the half hour version once again to get a better feel for their coverage concepts, which are actually quite simple -- mostly cover 4, with some cover 3, cover 1 and cover 6 thrown in). I'm not generally very bullish on the Dolphins but in my opinion the Bills are a very vulnerable team. Their guards and linebackers in particular are sub mediocre, especially the guards. They ran the ball well against Chicago but Chicago is weak up front and oddly enough it was Lance Briggs who had the key screw ups that led to the biggest Bills runs, including the last burst from Fred Jackson.

I don't know whether I have the time for a full writeup but I've made enough notes for one. The bottom line? Switching out Mike Pettine for Jim Schwartz might help them against a lot of teams in the league it's the exactly wrong move against us. Despite Schwartz's reputation they are very passive on defense now. It would not shock me to see them try to be more aggressive against us but the defense I saw against Chicago is not a huge threat to our offense. That defensive line is not playing nearly as aggressive as a year ago and Kyle Williams -- who I long considered perhaps the most underrated defensive player in the NFL -- finally looks like he's slowing down.

And if you think that completely solves that problem, you're incorrect. That dude's been double teamed consistently since 2010. Check the stats.

Of course it doesn't solve the problem completely. It does significantly reduce the gap between Wake and Sentreal though.

Id be a lot more nervous if Jackson wasn't in the backfield too.

My friend... are you high?

Kyle Williams played an insane game. Including multiple pressures, stuffing a screen in it's tracks, AND an interception.

And we blitzed tons of times. To the point where I was hoping Schwartz would calm down because I was afraid Brandon Marshall was going to get behind a CB for a long TD of he kept it up.

Were you watching the right game???

You've obviously not paid any attention at ALL to the Dolphins' off-season. It's not based off one game...it's based off highly documented, reported, and covered fact. You'll see soon enough.

Guess we'll see if they're the real deal when they have Mario Williams, Brandon Spikes, Marcel Dareus, and Jerry Hughes flying in on them.
