Dolphins vs Bills: Discussing the key matchups

Its nice to see someone who is a fan of a rival say nice things about us (hopefully Johnny B over at GG takes notice).

Im so glad we have a game on Sunday. If we come out looking good (which I think we will) it’ll hopefully shut these CLSer’s up for now as winning does marvelous things for a fanbase.

p.s. if we lose I wont show back up on this blog until we win…my head wont be able to take the negativity lol

I have grown to love Dolphins and Bills match ups ever since Jim Kelly and Dan Marino roamed the field. I refuse to accept that the Bills won’t rattle our cage a bit. I’ve had a few up and down opinions about this game in particular. CLS set in a tad bit in previous weeks, but I am slowly climbing out of my nestled little hole in the ground and taking hold of the thought that our pass rush will be well defined in the up coming game. Will we dump the whole deck of 52 cards on the table with the blitz packages? No. We should gather enough pressure on Edwards through out the game with our core fellows in the front. I am a huge Earth Wake fan and lending a Tight End or RB to block our "tremor maker" makes me hopeful in our ability to contain Evans on most plays by shutting down the pass by pressure alone. On the few plays that the ball does become airborne, I can but assume Davis will be able to hold his own against Evans. BUT!!!!! I do think every thing depends on that pesky screen pass……

Hopefully we can contain Spiller.

I Don’t care if it is pretty, ugly, by one point, or by 50 points. This game is a must win for our season. As a matter of fact every divisional game is a must win for our team. Let us pray that we don’t start slow like every other year under Coach Sporano.

The most exciting thing for me is undoubtably our defensive schemes. I cannot wait for Nolan to unveil the monster he keeps in his playbook. He has a long track record of vastly improving defenses over his career. I hope this season is no different.

Vontae will slow him down, and he won’t have nearly as good of a game as in the past.

I also think we will get pressure on Trent. Whether it be from Wake, the D-Line, or the other backers, Edwards will have pressure and will struggle. this is also a reason Evans won’t be nearly as effective as he has been against us in the past.

I love these exchanges. Hopefully you can get the folks at GGN to act more civil this season. Is that asking for too much???

I’m gonna go see part 2.

I don’t care how the Dolphins do it…as long as they do it.

I think his, and Matty’s conclusions about these matchups are fairly spot on.

Admittedly, I’m most intrigued by how Henne plays. It was in Buffalo, after all, that he played his worst game and largely led to a rather disappointing loss for us that more or less killed off our playoff chances.

Buffalo has a pretty good secondary, particularly with Byrd back in the mix. So it will be a good test for Henne, Marshall, and our passing offense.

I’m betting though, that Henne and Co. will put their preseason follies behind them and pass with flying colors….say a Miami win…..24-17

someone thinks Trent Edward is better than Chad Henne….
LMFAO
THIS game is gonna be a LOTTA fun…

BM and gang need to hand onto the pass
The Bills OC will undoubtably use short quick slants and passes to Evans and Spiller to beat the pressure and hope that the Fins mistackle, and the run goes long. Fins D needs to know who to cover and make the tackle or fake a blitz, force Edwards to get rid of the ball early, and make the tackle.

Jairus Byrd scares me.
Spiller is a danger on every touch. Do You think they’ll do the wildcat with Spiller as the wildcat?
Evans always plays good against us

It will be an interesting game. We have good match ups for their strengths.

We’ve notoriously started slow, and there are still some what if’s on our roster. If our defense doesn’t show up, I think we will have a hard time getting out of Buffalo with a win. Unless something big has changed, it takes our offense a while to mesh and get things going, and every year for the first 3 games our defense makes horrible mistakes to give games away. Through this offseason I have reason to believe that this will change, but its still in the back of my head just eating at me.

Although I probably should be! Just seems like the defense will focus on him and limit his impact! More worried about our secondary! J. Allen starting :-(
