Buffalo has zero blue chip difference makers outside Allen....

[Rev Kev]

I'll add that the chances that they play 19 games with same 5 guys on the OL is very slim.

If you switch the injury situations on the OLs last season, the Dolphins win the division by 4 games. The Dolphins were decimated on the OL and the Bills had the same 5 starters and they finished tied, Let that sink in,

Agreed

And If Allen is expected to run the ball at the beginning of this season as much as he ran after the Dorsey OC change last season then Allen will be mush by seasons end. His TO ratio will be exponentially too high just watch his decision making will go down the drain

Wrong. We don't know what Coleman is. Kincaid and cook are solid. They're not blue chip difference makers

I don’t see the need to go back and forth on it too much because we’ll see it play out soon enough but Kincaid is absolutely going to be a blue chip difference maker. With Diggs gone, most fans are thinking that Coleman is going to be Allen’s #1 target, but I’d be willing to bet the farm it’s Kincaid.

You could see the game slowing down for him as his rookie year progressed and his production was gonna improve in year 2 regardless of whether Diggs came back or not. But now that Diggs is gone, Kincaid’s chemistry with Allen is gonna be that much better and he will be a nightmare for us and everyone else.

Milano only plays during the day Stoobs?

I believe he's alluding to the fact that the game is after sundown, so Buffalo won't complain about sitting in the sun.

I'm not sure why Miami fans get upset about people complaining about the heat in September. We all know it's a huge home field advantage, and so does the NFL. I mean, look at our four September games this year. Only one day game at home. The two other home games are prime time.

And the one day game is Jacksonville, which I'm guessing has similar weather.

Is this statement true, or close to the truth. The division championship goes through New York? I'm just asking...

Based on what?

Top to bottom, the Dolphins now have a better roster. But the Bills still have the biggest difference-maker, and that’s Josh Allen. Hate to say it, but he is a similar factor to Dan Marino. No matter what was around him, we always had a chance with Marino under center. The same holds true for the Bills and Allen.

 

[JBinSD]

Why? The Bills are in our division. We have to play them twice, I have no problem with multiple Bills threads.

I've never had problem with anyone starting threads except for the Tua-anon

and Tua-haters.

Did someone record those of you the same day? Quite a wardrobe change.

Id pump the brakes there.

Allen is good, but Allen sucked before Diggs got to the Bills. Im not so sure he makes anyone better.

Im curious to see what happens this year.

 

[Long suffering fan]

Marino had some great wrs and a good line.
Zero defence .
Allen has a very good line with a decent running game and a top 10 defence.
Allen is over rated and will be proven so this season.
Tua proves he is the Beast of the East.

For how long though? He has nearly the same amount of rushing attempts as Mostert in their careers, he’s fast approaching the age where running QB’s stop being as effective and no matter what others will say he’s not a great pocket QB. Allen beats teams with his legs and his fake slides way more than with his arm.

It’s going to be real interesting when they need to redo his contract (and they still haven’t felt the full effect of it yet as they keep kicking the can). You can bet Allen or his agent is going to want a new contract in a couple of years when QB’s are getting $60M a year and he’s getting $43M or whatever it was. They are going to have to pay a QB who is over 30 and beats you with his legs a lot of money.

Kinclaid has all the ability to become an elite pass catcher in this league, and if Dawson Knox can actually stay healthy then that’s a lethal pairing. While they no longer have an elite receiver, they definitely have some capable guys especially Samuel and Shakir who are both very good route runners and will work well with Allen in off script scenarios. James Cook is a threat in the passing game too. We’ll see what they have in Keon Coleman.

I don’t think they’re world beaters, and I do see a drop off in talent….. still can’t be taken lightly. Josh Allen is still Josh Allen.

It's at night...

Still pretty darn stifling at night in September.

I’m no fan of Allen, but let’s be real - he makes off-script plays out of nothing. He’s not perfect and turns the ball over a lot. But if I’m a Bills fan (gross!), I go into every week thinking my team should win the game.

Maybe so, but he isnt an Aaron Rodgers/Peyton Manning type of QB that makes his WRs better.

Allen is good because he can run, is hard to take down, and stays healthy.

Yes the NFL seems intent to minimize the home field advantage that HRS affords Miami in the first half of the season. But zero chance they will likewise make the northern teams add domes or field heaters or cut back on night games after November. This inequitable treatment should add another chip to the Dolphins' shoulder. Ross ought to spring for subtle heaters beneath the visitors' sidelines, to at least partially simulate the sunshine the NFL is denying them.
