Buffalo Bills (5-8) vs. Miami Dolphins (4-9)
Sunday, December 18, 2011 at 1:00 PM ET
Ralph Wilson Stadium, Orchard Park, NY
Bills inactives: WR Naaman Roosevelt (scratch), WR Kamar Aiken (scratch), TE Scott Chandler (ankle), TE Fendi Onobun (scratch), OT Sam Young (scratch), DE Jarron Gilbert (scratch), FS Joshua Nesbitt (scratch)Six straight losses. A Buffalo Bills team once in contention for a division title and the first meaningful season in more than a decade has lost six straight games, been eliminated from playoff contention, and are playing for pride today in front of a non-capacity crowd at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The game's been blacked out locally. It must be Bills football in December!
Still, if there's any amount of satisfaction that the Bills can wring out of their twelfth straight season without the playoffs, it'll come by beating the Miami Dolphins today. This is a Dolphins team that, despite starting 0-7 and being coached by the lamest of lame ducks, absolutely throttled the Bills a month ago, winning by a score of 35-8 in Miami. Exacted revenge would help Bills fans forget about the team's overwhelming number of problems for a little while. Let's see if they can't get it done. GO BILLS!
