Preview Game 9: Buffalo Bills vs. Miami Dolphins
Hello Bills fans. This week the Buffalo Bills travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins. The Bills come into this game with a three game winning streak and look to make it four against the winless Dolphins. The Bills need to win this game to improve their record to 5-4. Here are the key matchups to this week’s showdown.
J.P. Losman vs. Miami Defense: Losman needs to have another big game to show the coaching staff that he is the long term answer at the quarterback position. Look for J.P. to find Lee Evans early and often. He will also need to be smart and not force any throws. I also feel that tight end Robert Royal will have a big day because the Dolphins will be focusing in on stopping Evans. Hopefully Josh Reed and Roscoe Parrish are able to play because both players are listed as questionable. If either Reed or Parrish is unable to play, practice squad call up Justin Jenkins must fill in the slot receiver role. I would love to see J.P. throw for over 300 yards and a few tds.
Jason Peters vs. Jason Taylor: This will most likely be the matchup of the day. If Peters can shutdown the speedy pass rusher Taylor, Losman should have enough time to find the open receiver. The offensive line as a whole has been playing well and need to continue that this week. We need to pass and run block effectively against a good Dolphins defense.
Marshawn Lynch vs. Miami Defense: I’m going to say that Marshawn will have his second 100 yard game this week. Last week he had a fantastic game and only seems to get better as the season wears on. The offensive line must open some holes up and Lynch has to pick up some big gains. Look for Lynch to score a few times on the day. I just love the way he plays and he is probably one of the toughest to tackle in the league.
Ok Bills fans after this team started 0-3; I didn’t think we would be at 4-4 going into this game. We need to win this won before we take on the Patriots next week. I have confidence in this team and feel Coach Dick Jauron will have them ready to play. My prediction…Bills 24 Dolphins 10. Lets Go Bills. Please bring home a victory.
