Speed vs Strategy: Can Buffalo Stop Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins’ Playmakers? | The Wandering Buffalo

The Buffalo Bills head to Miami in Week 2 for their first divisional matchup. The Dolphins survived Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, with the Jaguars doing just about everything they could down the stretch to give the Dolphins the win. The Bills have had great success against the Dolphins since the beginning of Allen’s tenure; however, the Dolphins do present some interesting challenges.

I think the biggest challenge for the Bills to be successful will be finding ways to negate the Dolphins’ speed and big-play ability. The Dolphins boast a bevy of speedy offensive weapons, including Achane, Mostert, Waddle, and of course, the cheetah: Tyreek Hill. The Dolphins’ speed and play-calling have made them one of the most dangerous offenses. The Jaguars were doing a good job of handling the Dolphins, but Miami was able to showcase their playmakers. Of Tua’s 338 passing yards, 143 came on two plays: an 80-yard play to Hill and a 63-yard pass to Waddle. Under McDermott, the Bills have typically been very adept at managing these types of players, but we do have quite the overturn of players on this roster.

I believe the Dolphins will be coming in fired up after barely escaping the Jaguars in Week 1. They also had their dreams of winning the division crushed by the Bills in the last week of the season. The Bills will be short-handed on defense with one of their most important players, Taron Johnson, already ruled out. With a short week to prepare, how will the Bills fare against their division rival? Drop your comments and predictions below.

Justin’s prediction: Bills win 27-21.
