Ah, at last some sanity returns to Finheaven. Thank you, dolphan 39. Who has the best talent in the AFC East? I don't know. Certainly the AFC East landscape is far different than it was a year ago. The 2001 Bills would not have beaten the Dolphins even with the Dolphins lacking a starting QB and 2 starting WRs IMO. The odds are Miami would have won last weekend with Fiedler, Chambers and Gadsen healthy, but we'll never know for certain.
Too much can happen to predict the outcome of the December 1 game at this point. We don't know who will be healthy and who might be injured.
I don't know about Miami because they are a more established team, but Buffalo is still changing from week to week, especially on defense. At the start of the season we didn't know if we were going to have a real defensive line or not. Ron Edwards is starting to look like and NFL DT. I think he still has a lot of upside. I know Chris Watson was facing backup WRs Sunday, but a lot of his problems over the last several games were mental, and I think he has righted himself. Grant Irons looks like he'll be able to contribute as a backup. It's a good thing because Ryan Denny looks like a bust.
Buffalo does not have a good defence yet, but it is a better defence than it was two or three weeks ago, and it's going to get better. What I'm saying is that a Miami win in December, even if Miami is 100% healthy is not a given. Neither is a Buffalo win inevitable even with the weather factor. It's why you play the game. You can't decide the outcome of a season by anylyzing teams on paper.
