Dolphins @ Bills, Ramblings

I haven't been writing much about the Dolphins lately because, well, they are pretty depressing. Anyway here are some random thoughts on tomorrow's game

  • This game will probably look more like the ones in Philly and Pittsburgh, rather than last week's home loss, especially for John Beck. The offense will be back in mistake-prevention mode and should feature lots of runs, short passes, and punts.
  • Lorenzo Booker MUST appear in this game. It should be close and low scoring and one big play could go a long way towards actually winning. He seems to have the most potential of our RB's to score a touchdown.
  • Marshawn Lynch is questionable. I don't think it's a huge deal from the Bills standpoint, but as a DolPhan, I hope he is just unavailable to play. He was key for them in the game at Miami, scoring the TD and a 2-point conversion in the 4th quarter and running lots of clock before the game winning field goal
  • I don't care who calls the offensive plays. Cam should, but if someone told him not to, we shouldn't make a big deal about it.
  • The Bills, provided they don't do something stupid, like lose to a 0-12 team, actually have a good shot at making the playoffs. They will be 7-6, and with a win over Cleveland could move into the final wild card spot with the final two games against the Giants (could be locked into the #5 seed) and Eagles (could quit after being mathematically eliminated).
Prediction
  • Bills 17, Dolphins 13
