Can you honestly say that your Jets win was a quality win?
The Jags won six games last year so you should probably stop crowing like you beat the Bucs.

OK here's a question, What will it make the Bills if they lose to the team who lost to the Texans.

A lot of that is to do with the schemes run against the Bills so far. When Price, Reismera & Centers all left a lot of analysts predicted that the Bills passing offense would find it difficult to be effective, whilst the Bills upgraded their blocking ability at TE and FB and looked to go to a more power running game. Both the Patriots and (especially) the Jaguars went out to stop the run, with 8 in the box. Bledsoe (with excellent protection) killed them with the passing game.
I can't see the Dolphins' coaches ignoring this and are likely to be far more balanced in their schemes. This should give Henry more room to run, whether or not he can pick his game up sufficiently remains to be seen (as a Bills fan of course I believe he will, I am sure many of you will disagree).

Nice post, and I think you've hit on part of why this game isn't like either of the first two for both teams, and should be very interesting. The Fins generally don't NEED to put eight in the box to stop the run, or at least there's no need to plan for that unless and until a team starts running on them. The idea that you have Henry therefore there's a dormant running game just waiting to explode might be well-founded conjecture, but it is nonetheless conjecture. The Bills look tough because they've found a rhythm already, but they haven't shown it running, and that does actually count for something.
The Bills face a similar interesting choice on defense. They have a more talented defense than last year, but is it good enough to contain Ricky whilst (sic) playing a normal balanced scheme? There may be less to fear from Fiedler than Bledsoe by over-committing to the run, but he's making good decisions, moving well, hitting his passes to a variety of targets -- he can beat you, just perhaps not in a shootout.
Will you get to see the game live over there? I recall Channel 5 has the late-night highlights, but do they show the ESPN game at 1am?

On a serious note, the bills coaching staff can sit and view the games of the fins this year and disect Miami's weaknesses against the Texans and the Jets who threw for 375 yards.

I'm sure the bills coaching staff will exploit your secondaries, test Seau , Zach and that other lb (whatshesname)w/ Sam Gash . We will look for any cracks on your D and O and take advantage.

The fins will likely look at the games of the bills against the Pats and Jags.
The fns coaching staff (if that's what you call them) will search for bills weaknesses and search and search and search and search and search and search......

:jk: Fishfans. I expect a great game. The bills have a 50/50 chance of beating the fins.
If the cowboys can beat the Giants. Who's to say the fins can't beat the bills? Anything's possible in the NFL these days. :D
