It's game day at Buffalo Rumblings! We'll keep this short and sweet: the Buffalo Bills are in Miami to take on our hated rival Dolphins, and a win today would - at least in my book - register as the Bills' most satisfying win of the season. Beating the Dolphins puts me in a better mood than beating any other team - and since the Bills have won 7 of the past 8 against this team, it's a feeling I'm not ready to give up.
But this game isn't going to be an easy one. In fact, it might be the team's toughest road test of the season to date - even tougher than their trip to Arizona, where they got blown out 41-17 by the Cardinals. Miami's a talented team with experience at the right spots, most notably quarterback. The Dolphins can play with any team in the league at Dolphins Stadium. It's going to take a well-rounded effort from all three phases for the Bills to beat the Dolphins today. I think it gets done, but I'm not putting money on it.
If you're looking for the best spot to chat live during the game, this is it. If you've got an account, hop on in and say hello. If not, create one - it's free. Let's start this three-game divisional run of ours off on the right foot with a win in Miami. GO BILLS!

'Sup Fellow Rumblers...
looking for a strong start this week, ill be back inbetween quarters (no laptop), hoping mr. galliford and the triumvirate could post what matchups they think are going the way of the bills and viceversa.
ps. How do you get that quotation under your posts? cuz mine would say ’FYI: The Buffalo Bills have covered the spread more than anyother team in the NFL the last 3 years = heartbreak.

I am not panicking Brian, I am griping for a good reason
Bad play calling should be called out, this was bad playcalling, if the other team puts 10 guys in the box, shouldn’t we put the PA pass on?

Not if you want to convey confidence in your ability to pick up one yard on the ground.

Well, lets see if Turk has TE run the ball up the gut 3 times from his 2
Which I actually would approve if it keeps them from a Safety

3 times up the gut will either make you a hero or a goat, right now its leaning goat wise. If the Bills score some, it swings back to hero. But for now the weathervane is showing Goat.

At least we got the momentum heading back into the 2nd half with the balll…..good news there….
We just aren’t playing that well….D has stepped up a bit, but are still getting gouged a bit. The O can’t get the run going unless it’s off tackle and outside. Trent has been settling for the dumpoffs since it appears no one is getting open. OL is doing a nice job of giving him time though….hopefully we’ll be able to get some guys open in the 2nd half….

lot of same things, good and bad
we have little, if any, run blocking – I am beginning to wonder if we ever will. You have to convert short-yardage situations SOME time if you want to win a title.
On defense, they look pretty good except for Terrence McGree, who can’t guard Kevin O’Connell. He always plays 5-10 yards off receivers yet is a starter. That has been a mystery for three years..

Thats Fewell's issue there
He ALWAYS has McGee lined up 5-10 yards off the ball it seems, even though he is good in Press coverage. Nothing we can do about it till Fewell gets canned.

I'm surprised
more opponents don’t take advantage f that more often. It would seem like "easy pickins.’

Defense
1- Tackling by the D
2- Keeping containment on outside runs
3- Play recognition has been poor by the D, gotta tighten it up boys
Offense
1- Eliminate the stupid stupid penalties that have hurt us
2- Establish the run, quick pitches and sweeps will work, gotta use them
3- Catch the damn ball, we have had a bad case of the dropsies today, gotta make those plays boys
4- Change up the play calling. Predicatbility has hurt us as the Phins have been able to stack the box to stop the run.

that we are looking at a top 12 team, and not a top 5 team.
They're just going after McGee
Please, just take him out

Is there nobody on the Bills
who could do better than McGee at cornerback??? come on!
OK Here's the deal.
For the rest of the game, double team Ginn and let the CB press.

How about let your nephews and Freewill alternate coaching
that way Freewill gets two weeks to game plan :-)
They couldn't do any worse, I mean, at least they're sharp at the corners
Fewell isn’t sharp anywhere except maybe in the Body Odor dept.

thats cool
we get the ball back and its a six point game. Thats prolly better than a punt
No, we punt it to Miami. Rules of a safety.
by Brian Galliford on Oct 26, 2008 3:45 PM EDT up reply actions
Oh well
we concede two and probably get better field position on the safety kick rather than punting from the end zone. We need a TD anyways I guess. Thats about as positive as I can spin
This doesn’t change anything. A TD for Buffalo still wins the game.

Exactly beast
Thais doesn’t hurt us at all. We got room for Moorman to punt it away, either way we need a stop and a TD

Once again, the loss of Reed is killing us
Royal is to incapable of being the safety valve Trent needs. LEts just put Schouman and Fine out there full time now, maybe they can do something, Royal ain’t.

That really means nothing. It’s a good coaching staff. We didn’t get out-coached, we got out-played.
by Brian Galliford on Oct 26, 2008 4:00 PM EDT up reply actions
Ummm, beg to differ
Any coach who lets the other team dictate the tempo to his players is getting outcoached Brian.
McGee couldn’t play today, but we kept trotting him out there and Fewell kept putting him in position to fail by having him bail everytime, which left alot of room open.
Don’t know if that could be called anything but being outcoached.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
We had the tempo through most of the third quarter.
McGee played because he was healthier than Youboty. Needed the numbers.
by Brian Galliford on Oct 26, 2008 4:02 PM EDT up reply actions
Brian, you're just making excuses
We had tempo for 1 drive? Miami had it the rest of the game and just smacked us around
If McGee was goign to be so bad, put McKelvin in. Or stick him up on the line to at least force them to throw it deep instead of just letting Ginn catch 15-20 yarders all day.
Just pathetic coaching today. You can’t deny that

I didn’t say it wasn’t bad coaching. I’m saying that the coaches didn’t take safeties and turn the ball over.

Coach needs to put Def in a position to win
Putting an obviously still injured CB out there and not pressing to stop the short timing passes is bad coaching
We blitzed 6 guys and expected the far side backer to cover the Tight End

Down 9 in a few moments, and we already blocked a FG
Can’t expect that twice in one game. Our STs did they’re job today outside the bad snap. Our O is playing streaky and D just got thumped today.

Definitely wasn’t a good day, but keep it in perspective. I mean, Buffalo didn’t play very well, made all kind of mistakes and turned the ball over and lost by 9. Not saying I am happy about them playing poorly and losing, but they were in the game throughout even with all the bad plays and mistakes. The big thing to look for is if they bounce back from a poor performance today with a good one next week.

too much poor play against the troglodyte Raiders, the soon to be “LA” Rams, and now the Dolphins…granted two of these were on the road, and home teams should win games, but eh, I guess I am just disappointed…still waiting for an absolutely dominating performance
well, you had a strong feeling

We aren't going to win every game.
I don’t mind this loss. Young team on the road against a team coming off two straight losses. I don’t see any collapse by the bills. 5-2 is better than anyone on this board could have anticipated. Let’s not second guess every little thing, let’s stay confident in the bills. Jets and Patriots are gonna get a urgent bills team.
Its not so much the loss as HOW we lost
This was just piss poor coaching and play today outside STs that costs us a win or even a good shot at one.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
ST's only blocked a kick
return game was awful against arguably one of the worst coverage units in the league…I would really like Leodis to break one and make a liar out of me
We lost by 9, and thats amazing
The way we played it should have been alot more points put up on us.
Our D played like crap, and they were out of position all day long. If McGee couldn’t cover someone, we should have gotten him off the field earlier, we have 6 safeties, use them.
Our O had a hard time moving the ball against a fired up Dolphins D, thats not a good sign. Reed being out hurt us a lot, he is Trent’s go to guy and without him, Trent started to get happy feet and held the ball to much. He needs to be the field.
Royal, well, what more needs to be said, he sucks.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Why does this team play so poorly for most of every game (except much of Seattle, 2 Q’s vs Jax and the SD game)???
This team simply plays down to the competition. Today they were outcoached, outmuscled and smacked around. Terrible job by the staff and a terrible job by the O.
