There are so many facets of this game which could decide the game. Outside the usual factors (turnovers, etc.), I believe this game more than any other comes down to the following:

Control McCoy and make Buffalo 1-dimensional

AND

Get Jay Ajayi going again early. He must control this game for us to win.
 
This is not a good matchup for us. Think Baltimore game. Rex will be on the sideline with his big fat smile knowing he is both saving his job and ruining our playoff chances at the same time.

We SHOULD be able to get the ground game cooking. They're not doing that well in run defense...not quite as bad as us, but bad. If they sell out for Ajayi like others have been lately, Moore should burn 'em.

Contain Tyrod in the pocket!!!!! Maintain assignments, don't overpursue...keep him passing, not running.

And for GOD'S SAKE! Can we, for once, be ready for trick plays from Rexy? We all know there will be some...the coaches should too, but Philbo the Clown always looked like a deer in the headlights whenever they ran one...****ing schmoe.

Dial up some more of those SuhWake crunches.

THIS GAME IS GOING TO SUCK! Hopefully we suck less enough to sneak outta there with the W. Sexy Rexy would love NOTHING more than to spoil our playoff hopes...he usually does. I'm FAR more comfortable about the Cheatriots game than I am this one.
 
Our run blocking is non-existent. Hyde ran all over the Jets and we couldn't punch it in from the 1 multiple times.

If the Dolphins players aren't jacked up now then they shouldn't be in football. They control their own destiny. Don't have to rely on other teams to lose for us to get in the playoffs. Also, we play 2 AFC East enemies the next 2 weeks. Can't get pumped up for that and don't want to play balls to the wall then you don't have a heart beat.

We have a bunch of finesse guys up front (Steen, James, Urbik, Bushrod etc). They aren't physical at all.
 
We'll need to score 27 or more to win I feel.

Bills D is gettable.
Shady McCoy is going to slice and dice us up.
 
early forecast is 40 for saturday. basically the same **** we just put up with in NJ
 
IMHO, this is the toughest game on our schedule. The opener at Seattle, they didn't know us and weren't really all in sync. Ditto for the second game at Foxboro. But this game, they know exactly who we are, they have something to prove, it's soooo close to Christmas and it will likely be snowing. This will be the Bills' pride game ... and knocking us out of the playoffs will be a massive focus for them. They have a good offense, and Rex does well defensively the 2nd time around.

They're at home, with likelihood that the calls will go their way. Let's face it, the NFL doesn't want us in the playoffs over Pittsburgh or defending champions Denver, so the Bills will likely get some home cooking.

A win in Buffalo in December on the heels of a win in New York in December would really send a statement to the division. I will be ecstatic if we win this one ... and I think we can.
 
We're gonna have to face McCoy this time and it will be ugly but they can be stopped in the red zone.

They really got Clay involved today and I would expect them to try and keep that going on Saturday night. Hopefully our LBs can get their head out of their ass -- I have faith

Another tight one pon us!
 
This game will be tough to win. They stop the run and are hard to throw against.
Our run defense and LB will get shreaded.

Frankly, our chances against the Pats is better IMHO.
 
I really want to believe. This will be a tough game. Don't get caught up in the Cleveland game though. Pittsburgh went in there and whipped them by running the ball just 2 weeks ago.

Winning is contagious they taste it and they want more. You can see it all over the field and on the sidelines. I am calling right now our Dolphins are now a well coached team and Defensively we are getting better and healthier with some key additions. Offensively give Matty time that's all. Keep giving Ajayi the rock even if he struggles because eventually he break one. Then Matty will pick them apart and put 28+ on the Jilllls. I am not worried anymore. I know now we can win anywhere and anybody including at the Bills. Final score 31 - 24 Dolphins!
