Defensively Flores hasn't figured out the Bills. But maybe Flores and Grier came up with an answer in the offseason?

That answer? Improve the offense, especially the big play ability at wide receiver. Fuller is now a question mark, but the return of Wilson and the drafting of Waddle give the Dolphins playmakers that are tough to defend.

Buffalo fans are quick to say that their defense is better than Miami's. That may be the case, but the fact that the Bills offense has been able to do things Miami couldn't match, may be the real issue.

I think the Dolphins offensive line has to have a strong day. Defensively, Miami needs to change things up, give Allen different looks etc. But expecting to stop the Bills offense is unrealistic. Slow down, sure.

In other words, it's time for the Dolphins offense to step it up.
 
If one side of the team isn't keeping the game respectable I'm not gonna place the onus the other. Defense needs to find a way to hold them under 30 points. If they do that and the offense doesn't find a way to make the game competitive then we'll talk. Last year's defense was terrible in week two and gave one of the worst efforts in Dolphins history in week 17. These guys sucked and they need to play better.
 
Our O-line needs to not suck, tall order to ask seems like.

I just hope its a close game if we lose, going to feel pretty down about us if we get blown out again.
 
Until Miami solves Allen, the Bills will continue to beat Miami. Unless Miami can come up with a ground and pound game, killing the clock and scoring on every possession, the Bills will beat Miami.

Not sure about scoring on every possession, but Miami's offense can't do the three and out thing.

I do agree that the Dolphins need to figure out Allen. Every other team seems to struggle with Miami's defensive scheme. Not Buffalo.

Do you play six and seven db's, like Pittsburgh did and rush three or four? More zones, less blitzing? Will be interested to see what changes Flores makes.
 
Offense is the key in these respects:

1) Allen can't score without the ball. The less possessions he has, the less chances he has to light us up on the scoreboard. The lower scoring the game, the more it favors us IMO.

2) Keeping their defense on the field should allow our own offense to dominate later in the game.
 
Typically NFL offenses don't gel till around game 4 (+/-1).

Waddle may field a few punts.

Preston is available.

Oline needs to do what they can. Coaches need to playcall with this in mind.

Jaelen Phillips.

They have a pretty dynamic punt returner. Special teams must be sharp.

We aren't nearly the battered team that ran into that buzzsaw last year. I think it will at least be close. Hopeful we get the win.
 
This is a huge game for Tua. He can either play pedestrian or finally take the reigns of the offense and shut up the doubters. Not trying to make this a Tua thread, but this is big for his development and the trajectory of his career.
