Obviously you guys ran the ball well Sunday but that's 1 game. They ran it well too and they have a track record. Maybe Miami ends up w/ the better run game but at this moment Buf gets the edge at RB.
Where Are The Bills Better Than The Dolphins?

That's nice that you are #3 in the league after running on one of the worst rushing defenses. And I think if you saw Moreno running last week and last year in Denver you'd see that it's a little closer than you think. While Spiller and Jackson are easily above Miller, my point that Miller ran well in week 1 still stands. And yes while your 1-2 rushing attack is better than ours since we have Miller, I think our no.1 is better and our playcalling is better.

I can agree with that. On paper they look to have the better rushing attack, but I think we finish with the better rusher.
take out that long run by Fred Jackson, and the Bills rushing stats are pedestrian this season.
Moreno could not be stopped. The Bills will have the same problem.

If the Bills are successful running the ball against Miami, it will be because of the injuries.
Based on last year....your right...but Miami has improved both in personnel and scheme.
That long run won the game. Moreno had a great game no doubt about it but it's still just 1 game.
Taking out at that long run the Buf RBs still averaged 5.2 YPC
Were not just talking 1 game. Were talking last season too ... when we were #2 in the NFL. Above Miami. And above Denver ... where Moreno rushed.
I don't think Moreno is better than Spiller or Fjax even individually. He averaged 4.1 last year. Spiller averages 5.1 for his CAREER.

Dude ... they're seriously basing EVERYTHING on ONE game. They don't care to talk about last season at all. ONE game and they think everything is figured out.
Dixons long run also inflated the totals.
The Bills RB's averaged 3.7 per carry minus the 38yard run.
The Bills are ranked 26th in defense, Miami is ranked 8...they are obviously inferior.

You can only base the season off of one game at this point. Miami has a new OC and different players.
Last year means nothing right now.

Do you think the Jets have the best defense in the NFL?
You guys played the Raiders.
Jackson 7-61
Spiller 15-53
Dixon 5-60
27-174, 6.4 YPC
take out 38 yd run: 26-136, 5.2 YPC
Knowshon's did very well last year in what can only be considered a HEAVILY pass first team...Buffalo didn't have sh*t else BUT the run.
There's absolutely NO reason to talk about last season from the Dolphins' standpoint...you can hang on to our 2013 O line all you want, but it's not near the same unit...all 5 players are different. New OL coaches, new OC, new RB, new line...PROVEN LT and solid RT, improved guard play...
Let's see if they can stop Lazor's game plan...if they can, they deserve the win...Belicheat couldn't. What you will see will be NOTHING like last year...so it's not even worth discussing...pay attention.

Lol I'll be honest with you guys, I don't think there's a chance in hell we have better RBs than the Bills... not a chance. Moreno might be as good as either of theirs, but Miller sure isn't.
Knowshon had the benefit of D's worried about the pass O and not the run game. His YPC was not impressive a year ago. He was damn impressive Sunday though and if that is going to be him this year you guys are going to be really good.
I could be wrong, but by the flow of the conversation, he meant taking out that run in addition to the other long run. What would that average be?

True, but last year after the big NE win we came out, were unprepared and flat vs the Bills up there. Under the same coach we will see how the teams responds. My hope is that Lazor has more affect on the team than Philbin and he doesn't let us come out flat this week, but beating the pats was an emotional win and under Philbin we don't usually do well the next week. Hopefully this week will be different.
We should win this game in my opinion...if we come out flat then it's just more of the same.
