Hall Of Famer
Figured I would compare the dolphins and bills head to head to see how they stack up.
QB-This was a hard decision but I rate Qb fairly even. Pennington is more experienced and Edwards has more of a full skillset . Edwards seems on his way to becoming a top level Qb and has a proven backup in Losman that can get the job done if he gets dinged up. At this point we cannot be sure that Henne is ready but I damn well hope is getting there. Pennington and Edwards have been deadly accurate so far and have made few mistakes. The one thing that Edwards has on Pennington is that he has the arm to exploit our secondary. Still overall a tossup and even.
RB-Overall I think Lynch is as good as any RB in this game even with low per carry average but Ronnie and Ricky along with Cobbs by far outweigh what Buffalo can bring on the field.
Advantage Miami 2 always beats one.
WR-Not even a close matchup. Lee Evans, josh Reed are a much better combo and they have some role players in Parrish and Hardy. We have Cam and Ginn and not much else.
Advantage - Buffalo a possible pro bowler and a solid veteran are more than we have by far.
TE-Robert Royal is having the best year of his career and at best seems to be slightly better than David Martin. Fasano gives us a dual dimension we have not had in a while.
Advantage-Miami by a pretty good margin
OL-this may piss off some Bills fans but I have to say these lines are pretty even right now and the Bills has been dissapointing at run blocking so far. We have the making of a top level line and the Bills do have some solid pieces to buidl from with dockery and Peters. Thier line should be betters with Peters back. Long will become a top level tackle and we have some very good compliments just need depth.
Advantage-Even
DL-with ferguson playing I would give Miami the advantage but with Ferguson out the field quite evens out. Stroud is playing like a top level Dt. Overall I see our unit becoming a much better one than thiers but ferguson will be a huge whole and Solai has been underwhelming on the field. Our unit does have much better depth and has been better at the
Advantage -Even
LB-If Angelo crowell was not on injured reserve I would say they had one of the better starting units in the league. Crowell is a huge hole that is not being filled to this point. we have much more depth with torbor and Anderson coming off the bench along with three established starters. Porter is having a great year getting to the Qb and Crowder and Akinole have been good in the middle.
Advantage- Miami bigtime
Secondary-The Bills have a very deep secondary with a very good mix of youth and experience. McGhee and Greer form a solid combo with McKelvin learning on the job. They also have two fine young safeties in Simpson and Whitner. we basically have Will Allen and Yermiah bell along with alot of spare parts. Our secondary is getting abused in the deep game.
Advantage-bills bigtime
special teams-
McGhee has always been a good kick returner and Parrish is a great punt returner. Lindell is a career 80 percent kicker with a solid leg and Moorman has been very good this year. Carpenter and Fields have both been solid but our return game has been erratic at best.
advantage-Buffalo
Coaching- Overall both staffs have thier strengths and weaknesses. I think Jauron has been very good at times and Sparano is in his first year.
Schnort has been doing a good job as the OC for Buffalo and Henning at times has been good at getting favorable matchups, you cannot blame Henning for lack of talent at Wr. At this point neither coach has shown anything to standout over the other.
Advantage-even
This is definately not a supremely talented Buffalo team and it does have some holes but at this point I think they are well matched to come in and exploit our weaknesses esp with Ferguson out.
I say Buffalo 27 Miami 17
hope Im wrong
