One of the most disappointing early season losses came against Buffalo in a game that was winnable for Miami.

In that game, the Dolphins had virtually no pass rush against Josh Allen and I think that was really the difference in the game. Miami's pass rush needs to show up big in this contest, especially with the injuries the Dolphins have on offense.

Allen has had a big year for the Bills, but he has 13 turnovers (9 int 4 fumbles lost, 9 overall). Pressuring him has to be the key to the upset.

On offense, it's time to take the training wheels off of Tua. Getting those long drives against the Buffalo defense is difficult. Miami needs some big plays.

Might as well be aggressive with playoffs on the line. Take some calculated chances.

Last night I watched the Bills-Broncos game on NFL Gamepass. Buffalo completely dominated Denver, while Denver dominated Miami. (I know; on any given Sunday...)

Miami needs to really go after Allen like they did with Goff. And, they need to do something about Diggs and Beasley; I say double one, and knock the other on his butt every time he steps off the line! Miami is unable to protect the middle of the field, so they need to make sure that those guys don't make it there. If I were calling the shots, I'd flatten Beasley as soon as the ball is snapped on every play!
 
Diggs and Beasley.

They are going to try and run mid level crossing patterns on us again.

If Nik Needham is on Beasley, Beasley is going to have over 150yds.

X needs to come with the attitude of "oh, so you think Tredavious White is the best corner in the AFC?"
 
For some reason Flores didn't want Howard covering Diggs in the first game, even when Jones got hurt; Howard is probably going to cover him this time around. I'm curious to see if Howard can shut him down and whether that has any affect on this go around.

Our offense has been a slop shop the last couple of weeks, i have my doubts on whether we're going to be able to score.

Moore, Duper, Clayton, McDuffie, Gadsden, Chambers.....think they would miss a game like this if they were able to run at all and use their hands? Hell no

I expect Miami to be aggressive. Why not with everything on the line? If Parker is back that could be a huge factor.

I'd like a completely revampted receiving group for Miami next season... I'd keep Bowden as the ST/4-5 WR and thats it... Maybe Wilson depending on how the draft goes...
 
When we were playing the Bills earlier this year, we were winning with 6 or 7 minutes left to go in the 4th quarter. I think we have learned to close out games better since then. We were also missing some starting secondary players and Diggs shredded us. I think this is a winnable game and a chance for us to make a statement.

You have to revampt the top 3 at the very least. All three Willaims, Parker, and Grant have shown they can't play an entire season.
You can't have that going forward!

It's only speculation not having the medical information on Parker. Seems like he has gutted it out all year.

But as to the future, Miami has to take into account that he has always struggled to stay on the field. Same, unfortunately, with Williams.

In that sense, and with what looks like an outstanding wide receiver group in the draft, I'd look to virtually overhaul this unit.

And 2 of those cant separate either, or get YAC, or get oposing defenses to give'em some space...
