When did Miami become such a juggernaut? Outside of Pittsburgh with a gimpy Big Ben they've barely beaten the same lackluster teams that we've destroyed. Don't count on Miami coming into Buffalo with a back up QB and beating a Bills team thats not just fighting for a spot but their coach as well.

Miami can afford to lose this game and still have a good chance to make the playoffs but they would have to beat the Pats at home and need a little help.

For the posters thinking Matt Moore cant win in Buffalo I'll remind you his career record as a starter against the Bills is 2-0 to include winning in Buffalo mid December. Playing in cold weather effects everyone differently not entire teams and the weather report I read is 36 degree forecast which is the same the just played in Sat night.

I expect the Bills to play to their best ability on Saturday. Bills still have a shot at the playoffs and the players are playing for Rex's job. Dolphins are weak in the middle of the defense so I expect the Bills to exploit that. Will be intrresting to see if Rex crowds the box to make Moore beat them which would be a mistake. Moore will launch the ball downfield to try and get something out of nothing. Increases the big plays but the interceptions as well. Should be a great game

I think we match up fairly well with the Bills on the defensive side of the ball in that Tyrod Taylor is good at throwing it deep and not beating teams up underneath or over the middle, and that's where we're most vulnerable.
 
Buffalo has an outside shot of making the playoffs. They need multiple teams to lose to get in (Pittsburgh/Baltimore/Miami/Tennessee/Indianapolis).

His running ability always proves a problem as well. Almost a standard 40-50 yards rushing w/ a ground TD vs our LB unit.
 
The Bills will run at our defense all day, and Taylor will too. Our defense will not get them off the field.
Our only hope of stopping them is a few big plays and key stops to keep them from scoring TD's.
Bend but don't break.

On offense, Ajayi will get stuffed due to our oline, and Matt Moore/Parker/Landry/Sims will have to do the damage.
I hope the refs are on our side, and Franks is not out kicked by Carpenter.
 
As we started inching towards the playoffs, this was the one game I feared people would take for granted....Tyrod and Rex have killed us over the years.
 
It's going to be a very tough game. Gase and company best have the big boys motivated as we'll need to win the trenches in this one.

Bingo. Need the front seven to contain Shady and the front 5 to open lanes for Ajayi.

Will be a tough game, but feeling confident in this team to squeak one out.
 
Why do Rex's players always start playing for him after they've underachieved all year and the pressure is finally off? Rex Ryan would be a first ballot Hall of Famer if winning in garbage time counted for anything.
 
Is it wrong to be more concerned about our run D and containing Tyrod over being concerned with Matt Moore?

Matt Moore will sling it all day if he has to and let the cards fall where they may. I need better run D, that same CB play and our running game to step up.
 
If Miami wins this game, especially with Moore at the helm, then that is guaranteed proof the culture has changed organization-wide. If I had to choose today I would pick Buffalo to win if only b/c of past failures in that stadium.
 
If we control McCoy. We will win. Taylor won't beat us
 
There's reason to be concerned they can run the ball very well. We have to force turnovers, something our defense has proven to be very good at doing.
 
This is the game we really could use Reshad Jones since our LB's stink (except Kiko) and are hurt.
 
It's never easy up there. Our run defense sucks right now. Our running game sucks right now due to bad o-line play. Rex will get 8 in the box but they will also bring pressure. Moore needs to be able to check it down from time to time. ST's could decide this game.

Ozzy rules!!
