Patrick Surtain on Bills/Tua

[50 Years a Fan]

Sorry if already posted, but I thought his take on Bills and Tua was great!

“We definitely have a great chance to derail those guys,” Surtain said. “Just being out there, just seeing what’s going on, when you have a guy like Tyreek Hill, it changes the whole complexion of the game. The thing Tua [Tagovailoa] gets a bad rap for – he’s had so many different coordinators his first three years, he has receivers in and out of lineups. I remember one game last year Tua was throwing to three running backs.

It's time to beat the Bills! At least a split.

Then they'd better win at home in week three, because the game in December, in Buffalo, after coming back from LA is going to be a tough one.

A lot of scenarios.
Sweeping the jets (they are better this year) is crucial. That makes our worst record 2-4 and gives us a shot at 4-2.
I cant see 5-1 without my homer goggles.

Right. Miami has to beat the teams they are favored to beat. If they do that and split with better teams, the Dolphins should make the playoffs. Of course, we don't always know who the better teams are until the season gets going, injuries happen, players emerge etc.

That will be tough. It will likely take a while for Miami to learn McDaniel's system so you'd like Buffalo a little later. But that's the schedule. Hopefully it will be hot, hot, hot in Miami. Take any advantage we can get.

Lots of time between now and week one.

Lets get through the preseason without any injuries.

4-2 in the division would be fine with me if one of those wins is against Buffalo. Can't afford to get swept by them again.

Honestly this is the litmus test for me. It’s spilt with the Bills at minimum or the entire season is a bust!

I know that sounds harsh. But I really believe this team can beat anyone in the league. But that’s only true if they show they can get through the physical and psychological hurdle that’s the Bills.

Imo, once they’ve achieved that then there’s no one in the league they can’t beat.

Beating the Bills is a BIG DEAL for this team. Make no bones about it.

Their best opportunity is going to come when the Bills come down here to play.

It’s like finally standing up and putting the school bully on their A$$. It changes a lot of things.

It’s like making Drago bleed…See he’s human after all!

and to think we once beat the bills for an entire decade....didn't we beat them 20 games in a row?

I’m not sure of the count. But I’ve always remember the Bills being our toughest matchup in the division.

Not even the Brady Patriots. The Jets are the Jets.

But something about that damn team. The Eric Moulds Thurman Thomas, Bruce Smith etc.Obviously now Josh Allen.

That was a million years ago bro. All I have ever known is there's been some really bad times (early 90s playoffs) and good times here and there but its always been a challenge you don't take lightly.

Not harsh at all. It’s called standards.

Don't forget Jim Kelly he was a thorn in our side too! But Yes the scrambling QB is a big problem for us for years!
