On defense
-I think we need to pressure Edwards as much as possible, Live and die by the blitz. We cant just let him sit back there and pick us apart because I dont like how are DB's match up against there WR's.

-Make Lynch and Jackson run in between the tackles. Visited some Bills boards the week and they seem to have major issue with this. They seem to get most there yards on sweeps and counters

On Offense
-We need to have a big day out of Fasano and receptions out of the backfield. There Defense is built not to give up the big play, that doesnt mean we shouldnt try it, and they give up a lot of the underneath stuff. If we can get some good YAC going we can string some long drives together.

-I say we hammer them with the run and I mean a lot. I'm still not sold on there Run D and I think we can really wear down there DL if we just commit to the run and keep slamming it down there throat.
 
Well they do HAVE to pressure Edwards. On sunday against Baltimore it seemed the Ravens did a very good job of stopping our blitzes, so we'll have to be better this week making them more effective. We can't afford to let Edwards sit back there like we did with Flacco on Sunday or we'll lose this game by 30 points.

I thought we did a decent job of containing McGahee until later in the game, but Lynch is just as big a headache. It's going to come down to the play of the front 7 again, hopefully it's better than against Baltimore.
 
be mean to trent edwards... sack him 4 times... lets go for 3 from the DLmen.. cmon Langford and Merling, play like probowlers...
i guess hope the secondary shows up? stop lee evans...

our runD needs to play better than they did last week, they were doin a good job before but let up alot by the ravens... trent edwards must be disturbed this guy has been so accurate this year... and he'll kill our secondary..

offensively, run it at them alot, pass when provided... go deep to ginn at least twice... chad can't look off his game like he looked against the ravens... and we should add 2 new wrinkles to the wildcat, and chill out on the up the middle runs with it... it wasnt working on the ravens at all...
granted we played the best defense last week, and they killed our run game... the bills have a solid D, but we should be able to run on them and get open too...

its about our defense... if they can defend the pass and sack edwards that should tanrslate into a win.. they need to be way better on 3rd ddown too...

just the basic dolphin game... but executed to perfection... this is a big game, they'
ve been winning the games against the better teams on the shceulde so lets hope we can win this.. cuz if we lose here and too the broncos thats bad, 2-6? not were we want to be, we should have at least one of the past 2 games... they're in a hole right now...

cmon secondary... come on!!!

There other RB, Jackson, has become a real pain in the *** too. They line him up eveywhere from RB,WR, to FB and he always seems to make at least a couple plays a game.

Yea I'm looking over the box score right now of the Bills games this season and we really need our secondary to step up because it look like Edwards really likes to spray the ball around to different players on offense. Pressure is going to be a must in this game

On defense we need to build a brick wall, cause our DL and LB's are not containing anything, then on Ofense we should use a truck to make some space for Ronnie to run, because we were not able to create holes against weaker DL's, finally we will need a lot of luck to get a victory with the way we are playing lately.

That being said, I will bet that the Dolphins will win because this year we are going to win only against good teams like NE, SD and the Bills. Bad teams like the Jets, Texans and Ravens make our players feel without energy so they quit before the first half is over, but good teams somehow make our players realize they are receiving a salary and get the best out of them.
 
1) Will Allen needs to follow Evans around the field, and needs safety help over the top of him as often as possible. As far as the other receivers, keep the play in front of them at all times. YAC needs to be as small as possible.

2) Stop the run, cliche, blah blah. I think we'll do that pretty well. More importantly, we need to be able to get pressure on Edwards without relying on the blitz too much. He is a smart enough QB that he'll start to find those open receivers in the flats if we start to blitz too much.

3) Run the ball effectively. We can't give up on the run like we tend to do. Both games that we won, the ball was given to Ronnie quite a bit. Even against Houston, he got the ball a lot, and our offense produced. Other 3 games? Hardly any touches. What happens? We lose them pretty convincingly. This isn't a coincidence.

4) Convert on 3rd downs. The longer Edwards is off the field, the less he can score. Time of possession is crucial to our style of offense, and moreso to keep our so-so secondary off the field.

This game is very winnable for us, but also will get out of hand quickly if we let it......
 
BRing back Louis Oliver for this game so we can "ride dem Buffalo Bills back to Miami" ....lol

Yes I know we are alread in Miami this time, but I had to quote him!
 
Couple things that worry me about this game.....

1. Bills against the 3-4 Defense, it always seems like we have no idea how to block it for some reason, and our running game suffers, maybe this is fixed not sure yet. Also looking at Center our best run blocking in the Middle came from Preston over Fowler, not sure if Preston sticks in though, could be a rough Running game.

2. Blitz- Rams, Raider and the Cardinals dialed up some exotic blitzes that messed with the line big time, and gave use headaches trying to keep Trent off his back. Now that being said SD got no pressure.....Is it fixed, or was it SD did not blitz much. Again 3-4 can come with some exotic pressures.

3. Ronnie Brown. Yes we shut down LT and Sproles to a total of 47 yards. Also helb Mcfadden and Bush as well. Edge was no issue and Seattle has no run game. BUT Stephen Jackson torched us. So which run D shows up the one that held the best back in te game to 46 yards or the one that let Jackson keep the game close.

4. If this game stays close I get worried, if we jump out to a early lead, I do not think Pennington has the weapons to have a comeback.


Now some Positives about the Bills cannot just talk all bad.

1. Defense --- Is the BEST defense in the NFL at getting off the field on third down.

2. Lynch and Jackson -- though this season no big games yet, but teams are not going to continue putting 8-9 in the box, because we DO finally have a QB that can beat them.

3. 4th QTR, all season has been the best QTR for the bills and that is how you win football games.

4. Peters is starting to get back into it, and is looking like the Probowl LT he is.

5. ST is back and the threat of Parrish is there as well, along with Mckelvin there always is a punt or KR away from 6.
here is to an Injury Free, good game with the Bills coming out on top of course.
 
Well first off pray they don't show up. Just kidding! Why worry with this team since we seem to play good against bettter teams (NE,Jets and SD) not saying Arizona is bad. I do think we will win this week. I just hope we work more on our regular offense and less on the wildkitty(last week). Oh yea if the d-line can't stop the run, then game over anyways.
