I don't want to take anything from the Bills they are a very good team and may beat the Dolphins easily if we don't come prepared this Sunday.

I do want to bring up that the 2 opponents that they have played the Rams and the Titans don't look exactly like the powerhouses they were in the past.

Week 1 the Titans lost to the Giants which was an upset and this week the Rams almost gave the game away to the Falcons who are expected to be a bottom 5 team.

These 2 teams based on their first 2 games don't look like playoff teams.

Is it fair to say that the Bills will face their real first test with the Dolphins or is too early for this statement?

Too early. Are those teams no longer top teams or did the Bills make them look like lesser teams?

Not just the Bills, the Giants beat Titans (didn't expect it) and the Falcons almost took the win from the Rams. The Giants seem like a better team than last year but they are not considered a top team and the Falcons are expected to tank for a QB.

Don't disagree, but hard to tell after 2 games

Same can be said about the Patriots and Baltimore.

The Patriots beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh which I didn't think would happen and the Ravens looked pretty good at the Jets in Week 1 so I would say it's not the same thing. The Rams look like they have a Super Bowl hangover and the Titans have no receivers with AJ Brown gone so teams can focus on stopping Henry and not worry about their passing game.

And the Bills did what they should have done against two lesser teams (according to you) Dominated them.

On the Road against defending SB champs on Banner day and turned the ball over 4 times and still beat them by three scores.

Took a team that have embarrassed them since 2019 and finally dominated them actually bullying the titans for once.

You play who is in front of you. That is what the Bills did and outscored the two teams 72-17 for a +55 point difference. It isn’t like they squeezed by a bad team by a late FG.

Not disagreeing with you, but what I'm really asking is do you agree that the Dolphins may be a more difficult team than Rams and Titans for them?

Yep, very early in the season. First few games rarely represent the end of the season.

I tend to like the schedule and opponent type takes. Always makes me laugh like what is the other team supposed to say. No we don’t want them on our schedule because they are not a top team? You play who is in front of you.

I know style points do not matter in the W/L column but they do matter when it comes to how people “feel” about a team. Squeak by lesser teams and even in the win people will start asking “what is wrong with team X”. Go do what you should do to those teams and this is the response well they played nobody.

Just always a fun conversation and even more so before a month of football has even been completed.

The honest truth I think the Fins are the strongest team we will have played to point. I had you guys as a sure thing WC and second in the AFCE from the offseason. Nothing has changed that thinking yet.
