It's been a tumultuous week with all the Watson discussion, management disarray and all our roster injuries/deficiencies.

Now we have the Bills. With all our concerns and the beatdown we received in week 2 what are the realistic expectations from this game?

I've not made a poll before, so please modify answers. Just wanting to see what our fanbase expects.
 
I would like to see continued growth from Tua. Included with that is he stay healthy. I would like us to be competitive, but based on what we have seen from our defense this year, I wouldn't hang my hat on that. The game is not on in Central Florida, so I will be hitting the sports bar to watch them. I have set my bar real low, so I don't hurt anymore. I am going make a point to enjoy my afternoon regardless.
 
I don't expect a win or even a close game.

I would like to see if our O-line has really improved (a little) or was it competition (Jacksonville/Atlanta). I would like to see Tua have another successful game again with better competition. Just don't think the offense can keep up with the Bills versus our defense. We have already lost the coaching battle.
 
I’ve just got this feeling the Dolphins are going to cover the 13.5 point spread in a high scoring game. Weird and irresponsible but I’m taking Miami to cover and the over of 50.
 
Miami’s coaches have literally no idea how to play Buffalo, unless proven otherwise. It’s a fair statement to say Miami puts up no resistance when you lose by an average of three TD’s. It’s not just a talent deficit. Miami has no idea how to play them on either side of the ball, and it’s damning.
 
Last weekend my sons soccer team faced a team that was clearly bigger, more well coached and more talented then them. They were destroyed. Lost count of the score. Probably 12-1. I focused on my sons play and was watching for his development this season. I expect the same thing to occur against Buffalo.

Except in this game my son will be Tua and I hope he can continue to show promise.
 
It's possible the Bills could come out flat, unfocused, and underestimate us, and we make a game of it. It's kind of weird. Should that happen the narrative will be the Bills aren't playing up to their usual level, not that the Dolphins are any good. Sad, but true.

Nah. I think the Titans - w the throttling of KC - established themselves in the same level as Buff.
 
I picked the top option. There is no reason at all to believe Flores has learned a damn thing from all the other previous arse kickings Allen and the Bills have given us. Zero expectations here, but we have to keep Tua alive.

Agree...in hindsight we should have seen this coming last season when we played the Bills in our final game. Our defense couldn't get near them & thats with us last season having a defense playing well. Fast forward & we have a struggling defense & coaching chaos. The Titans showed everyone how to beat the Bills, but we don't have a stout defense neither a strong running game. If the Bills & Allen come to play, I fear the worst!
