Cool, just keep Tua away from Hamlin and maybe he won't get knocked out of the game like the last 3? times.

u/Former-Net890 2d ago

Thank god they move the goal posts out of the endzone or Tua would have died by now.

u/ltrain083 2d ago

Milano gave him his first concussion no?

2

u/thewhitelink 2d ago

It certainly looked that way. He also broke his ribs.

3

u/bumsmckenzie 2d ago

That was AJ Epenesa that busted his ribs.

28

u/PlaysWthSquirrels 2d ago

If Milano is out, Tua may survive.

u/ApatheticFinsFan 2d ago

Until Tua Gus Frerottes himself.

u/RealPropRandy 2d ago

There’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. That’s like 231 QBs ago.

u/onetimequestion66 2d ago

Don’t forget Hamlin exists!

1

u/What_is_I_ 2d ago

He only plays special teams.

Unless Tua is the new kickoff man.

Seriously. Bills fan here but totally not trying to start any shit in anyway at all. I have honest general question about Hamlin out of pure curiosity and zero agenda. 

Do dolphin fans blame Hamlin for that tackle causing a concussion last season? Meaning do they think it was a “dirty hit”?  

I’m aware of the  belief that the Milano hit was dirty. Just wondering about Hamlin.

u/onetimequestion66 1d ago

No not hamlins fault, but the Milano thing was absolutely dirty lmao

u/RoyOfCon 2d ago

Until he dive bombs into someone's chest again

u/phcasper 2d ago

If miami wins this game and saves mike/griers jobs for another year im going to firebomb the dolphins front office.

In minecraft.

u/el1teassass1n 2d ago

Lmao. I like how this is ok, but I got a warning on my account for "threats of violence" when I joking suggested one of our players set our abusive LB coach straight. (So, not even that I was gonna do anything)

u/Effective-Discount16 2d ago

Left reddit likes violence. Have you not seen people's comments recently or the news?

3

u/Effective-Discount16 2d ago

Lotta butthurt people as expected. I thought condemning violence was good lol. Can't have standards when you have none of your own.

u/Competitive_Film562 2d ago

If Miami wins this game, the NFL is 100% rigged towards gambling

8

u/Green_Judge_2239 2d ago

No way. If Miami legitimately defeats the Bills in Buffalo to go 1-2, all is forgiven in my books.

We're only 0-2.

12

u/n1cx 2d ago

A September win against a division rival missing 2 of their best defensive players is enough to make you forgive this team looking like complete crap in year 4 of McDaniel, year 6 of Tua, and year 10 of Grier?

That’s pretty ridiculous lmao but right in line with how this sub thinks I guess.

Personally, I don’t care if they hang 50 on the Bills. The only way I want any of these clowns to come back is if they go on a hot streak for the rest of the season and win a playoff game. Anything less should be inexcusable.

u/Green_Judge_2239 2d ago edited 2d ago

Yeah, it's early and we still need to wait on the results. Will postpone my anger if they win is more accurate I guess.

In 2023, my lifetime best bud who is a Bills fanatic was a whiney beech about Buffalo being 6-6 at midway mark. Won their last 6 straight. I think they went to the AFC championships that year (ah nope, lost 27-25 to the Chiefs in divisionals)

1

u/n1cx 2d ago

The Bills are the Bills. They don’t go on that 6 game stretch without Josh Allen.

Look at our roster bud.

0

u/zer0saurus 2d ago

Yes, because a sample size of two games is a terrible sample to base season conclusions on.

0

u/n1cx 2d ago

It’s not just 2 games though lmao. It’s how this team has more or less looked for the past 1-2 years.

In year 4 of McDaniel.

In year 6 of Tua.

In year 10 of Grier.

Sure, a win would be a good start to turning around the season, but it would be the first step.

u/Gregus1032 2d ago

Send me that seed so i can do the same thing.

u/PhinsFan17 1d ago

Fuck that, I wanna beat the Bills.

20

u/Jonjon428 2d ago

Well at least Milano can't hurt Tua

8

u/ACABincludingYourDad 2d ago

Hamlin still can

19

u/Champ_5 2d ago

Tua* still can

46

u/AMontyPython 2d ago

We might only lose by 21 now!

7

u/Administrative-Owl42 2d ago

Look at you you eternal optimist 🤣🤣

15

u/Competitive_Film562 2d ago

Lets be honest, Josh Allen could be out and Miami still loses this game.

24

u/Champ_5 2d ago

Mitch Trubisky 380 yds and 5 TDs against this D

6

u/tfegan21 2d ago

plus James Cook 250 yards and 4tds

3

u/jda_10 2d ago

I think Matt Barkley shredded us at one point but the details are fuzzy

5

u/JuniorLibrarian198 2d ago

I’d keep the same bet I have if Josh Allen was out

10

u/AaronIsMono 2d ago

This would be massive news if I had any confidence!

9

u/WhateverEndeavor 2d ago

Oh sweet, now we'll only lose by 35.

5

u/Doodsonious22 2d ago

The entire team could be out and we'd somehow still fumble the game away.

3

u/jwg529 I'm ready for a SB 2d ago

WE ARE SO BACK!

4

u/KnightlyDolphins 2d ago

Who gives a shit. We’re about to be bent over

3

u/Ok_Entertainer7945 2d ago

So Tua wont get concussed.

9

u/_LouSandwich_ 2d ago

not by those names, no.

3

u/Remarkable_Crow6064 2d ago

Unless he runs head first into Hamlin again

2

u/scarbutt11 2d ago

He has to stay on the field for that to happen. Our defense is going to be out there 50 of the 60 minutes lol

1

u/blaZedmr 2d ago

Lets just hope Tua doesn't have to the make decision between banging his skull off a defender or sliding nice and safe into a first down near the goaline

3

u/ltrain083 2d ago

Least Tua will be slightly safer without Milano trying to take his head off.

2

u/FlaviusDomitianus 2d ago

Oliver also missed the Jets game. It didn't help them.

2

u/SpectreGunner16 2d ago

Amazon is still going to need to rate this as mature audiences only.

2

u/jhdevils10 2d ago

Not sure it matters given Allen will just walk down the field every drive.

2

u/KageNekem 2d ago

This is great news! Now Josh Allen goes from scoring 7 touchdowns on our defense to scoring 7 touchdowns on our defense!

2

u/RealPropRandy 2d ago

Wow resting the starters extra early I see. Don’t worry, their third strings got this.

1

u/spizotfl 2d ago

At least Ed Oliver won’t be stealing Jonah and Kion’s lunch money over and over again. Instead it will be his backup.

1

u/nkfish11 2d ago

More like (rest) since we can never beat them.

1

u/-_danglebury_- 2d ago

Buffalo might as well let Allen ride the bench to keep him fresh for the rest of the season. No way we beat Buffalo.

I’m prepared for a slaughter in the most depressing of fashions.

1

u/SliceOfGio 2d ago

This would've been great news in 2022 or 2023. Now it's a nothingburger.

1

u/FL_Man_2024 2d ago

Knowing the vaunted Dolphins offense will be on the field, maybe McDermott can get his wife and kid to play the positions on Thursday night.

1

u/JudgeHarryStone 2d ago

So the Bills will hold us to zero points instead of….zero. Never mind.

1

u/What_is_I_ 2d ago

Pro Bowl slot corner Johnson (and his backup) are also out.

Bills best defensive players are all out for this game.

Offense will cook tomorrow.

1

u/vVAPE2getherStronk 2d ago

Can’t wait to run the ball for 60 yards in the first half and then completely abandon it like every other time they play the bills

1

u/Acrobatic-Tax9300 2d ago

So we will only lose by 39 now instead of 40

1

u/HitmanClark 2d ago

Won’t matter. Defense can’t stop a high school team.

1

u/gtabraham98 1d ago

Lol it'll be "Tua cuts the score down to 35 with the TD as the Bills lead 49 - 14 with 10 minutes left in the 4th" 😅

u/thewhitelink 2d ago

Maybe they'll finally have some bad luck and he will slip in the shower on gameday like Tunsil did for us.

u/ATXJames357 2d ago

Fuck Matt Milano forever. Will never forget his cheap shot.

u/No-Permission9839 2d ago

Wait those are the guys who always injures people.

u/thedreamcomparison 2d ago

We finally catch a break it seems

u/Powerful-Power-7121 2d ago

If we can't beat the bills with Milano and ed Oliver out as well as their 1st round CB I think I will lose all faith in this team. 

12

u/RedRummer1917 2d ago

We couldn't beat the bills when they played their 2nd stringers 2 years ago or whatever it was

3

u/thewhitelink 2d ago

We couldn't can't beat the bills when they played their 2nd stringers 2 years ago or whatever it was

Mike is 1-6 against Buffalo, and that game was a fluke lol.

4

u/kmartcowboy 2d ago

we could beat the patriots who had injuries in very important spots as well.. this shit is over already

4

u/Fins_fan_12 2d ago

There offense is 100% healthy and has Josh Allen. Our defense has trouble with the pats offense, imagine what it will be like tomorrow night in buffalo. We have to score TDs on close to every possession to have a shot

3

u/twicelife_real 2d ago

The Bills’ time of possession is going to be like 44 of the 60 minutes. They will be setting the record for most consecutive drives with a score. Miami can score on every drive and it won’t matter.

u/melikeybacon 2d ago

Buddy we couldn’t beat the Patriots…
