Ya I`m pretty sure the Bills are not treating this game as a "bye week"! You think that all this week McDaniel`s is telling his team that "No one in Vegas or the sports shows talking heads are giving us a chance to win, our injury report looks like a Mash Unit, the odds makers have us as 12 point underdogs, we`re down to our second and third string quarterback, why bother even going to cold Buffalo when we can stay here in warm Miami, lets go to Buffalo and prove the experts wrong!"

Anything that motivates a team more is knowing no one expects you to win and you go into that game as 12 point underdogs, underdog teams are dangerous teams! You can bet that Sean McDermott isn`t treating this game with Miami as a "bye week" and will have the Bills ready for and treating Miami as a fully healthy, ready to play team.

I was a little worried at half time!

As for the Chargers/Jags game... That's an immediately fireable offense! I hope that coaching staff got left at the hotel and the players got to fly home alone.

Joey Bosa should have been left behind as well. Two critical and pretty foolish penalties were a big part of them losing that game.

Gg. Didn’t expect a win with skylar. He is very bad. But it was close.

The inability to get to a play called and ball snapped was unbelievable for the Dolphins. My teen is a fan so I watched in simple disbelief, but at least they hung in there.

You don't get style points all you need to do is score more than the other team.

A win like that doesn't scare your next opponent which will be the striped kitties from Cinci.

They didn't look that good against the Ravens.

How bad will be spotted cats get hammered by KC?

The Vikings get beat by the G Men in a predictable upset but how do you not target JJ at all on the last drive?

4th and 1, you’ve got the ball and can win or tie the game with a score and to take a delay of game? Unbelievable. And a win there would have bought another home game for the Bengals. Oh well.

Bengals Bills is gonna be an interesting game. The Bengals D might have to carry them. Josh Allen had some bad turnovers in the Miami win that let the Dolphins almost get away with a win. Cincinnati needed a miracle defensive play, and I mean MIRACLE to get the win. If the Ravens had scored there, it was pretty likely over.

As a Bengals fan who’s been to Buffalo and likes the team and the city, no matter who wins, I have a team to root for in the next game.

The post game interview, McDaniel said the refs told him it was a 1st down. Then later was told it was 4th. He had different personnel on the field because of it.

But that doesn’t excuse the other handful of times it happened and they had to waste all their timeouts.

That happened to several teams all year including the Bills.

The yard markers never moved as he came up over a half yard short.

Billieve it or not all the balls have GPS in them and thats how they can tell so fast.

Like on the fumble by the Ravens QB he came up .5 of a yard short trying to do a JA17.

I counted at least 5 times in that game where the play clock had gone to zero and past and they were not flagged for delay.

Time for an NBA type shot clock buzzer

BTW a lot of people at my work were asking if I was worried the Bills might lose that game.

I answered honestly....not at all.

When the Fins took the lead JA17 lead 2 scoring drives to ensure the win.

Did you see the second quarter final drive? you better not leave anytime on the clock for him or Mahomee as they both know how to pull out a late score against the odds.

6 plays 54 yds 29 seconds and it was almost a TD instead of an FG
