15 HRS AGO - Timothy T. Ludwig-USA TODAY Sports Fresh off their bye week, the well-rested Buffalo Bills will take on the winless Miami Dolphins at home in the friendly confines of New Era Field. The Dolphins are coming off a loss to Washington in the NFL’s toilet bowl. Here’s what we’re looking for as the Bills get back to action. The #Bills are back in action this weekend against the Dolphins. Get caught up after the bye in just one minute. pic.twitter.com/mIUkotnzq2— Buffalo Rumblings (@BuffRumblings) October 18, 2019 Bills favored by a ton The Bills opened game week as 16.5-point favorites; the most points they’ve been favored by since 1992. In that game the Bills lost to the New York Jets on a Jim Kelly pick-six with under two minutes to go. Let’s hope history doesn’t repeat itself this week against the ‘Phins. Dolphins’ quarterback situation The Dolphins opened the season with Ryan Fitzpatrick as their starting quarterback. After two losses they changed course and named Josh Rosen Collapse

18 HRS AGO - Photo by Eric Espada/Getty Images Let’s check in on the “other” Josh from the 2018 quarterback class When the Buffalo Bills traded up to number seven in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, most fans were anticipating that Josh would be selected. It’s a poorly kept secret that there was a contingent of fans who preferred the Josh not taken. Josh Rosen that is. After a tumultuous year in an Arizona Cardinals uniform, Rosen is now the unquestioned starter for the Miami Dolphins. Let’s see how he’s doing. Author’s note: This was done on Tuesday night assuming Brian Flores hadn’t been lying earlier in the week when he said Rosen would be the starter. There’s a decent chance we’ll still see him in the second half. Play 1 Look, I’ll level with you. It’s very difficult to evaluate just Josh Rosen. The supporting cast absolutely has to be called into question. And let’s just say that sometimes the offensive line is grateful for the max protect look we see here. I chose Collapse

19 HRS AGO - Photo by Mark Brown/Getty Images Fitzmagic returns to Buffalo The Miami Dolphins come to Orchard Park this weekend to renew their rivalry with the Buffalo Bills. The teams are currently on opposite ends of the success spectrum, with Buffalo holding the second-best record in the AFC at 4-1 and Miami bringing up the rear at 0-5. In a year where Miami is clearly rebuilding, and more likely “Tanking for Tua,” this game seems like one where the Bills should cruise to a victory. However, all of the players here are professionals, and they all will play as hard as they can. For Miami, pride is on the line. For Buffalo, it’s really the same thing—the team needs to take pride in coming off its bye week to show that it belongs among the league’s elite. A blowout victory may seem like a foregone conclusion, but Buffalo has struggled to put its opponents away this season. Doing so this week would be a step in the right direction. While all of the Dolphins’ players will look to avoid a fourth Collapse

21 HRS AGO - Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports Let’s kick them while they’re down The Miami Dolphins are not a good pro football team. They’re not, however, attempting to be a good football team. At least their front office is not, and they’re not RIGHT NOW. Tanking is a strange phenomenon in the NFL. Many analytics gurus will champion the “short-term pain for long-term gain” process of dismantling any talent currently on your roster that is unlikely to be present at the time horizon for the organizational winning you envision. They will tout the brilliance of former Cleveland Browns executive Sashi Brown and nod vigorously at the current Miami Dolphins roster maneuvers. Brian Flores isn’t likely tanking though. Brian Flores is most likely trying to win every game he possible can to show to his players that his message, if adopted, will lead to winning. This is why he’s flip-flopped between journeyman quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and future 30-for-30 subject Josh Rosen. If he was in on the Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Photo by Michael Owens/Getty Images As the Buffalo Bills (4-1) prepare to host the Miami Dolphins (0-5) at 1 p.m. Eastern Sunday at New Era Field, the team appears to be at full-strength on the injury front. Wide receiver John Brown, who was limited during Wednesday’s practice session due to a groin injury, was back on the practice field Thursday. Brown is Buffalo’s leading receiver with 28 receptions for 390 yards (an average of 13.9 yards/reception) with one touchdown. Offensive tackle Ty Nsekhe, who was given a rest day on Wednesday, participated in individual drills but was not a full practice participant Thursday. Center Mitch Morse (ankle), guard/tackle Cody Ford (concussion), and defensive end Trent Murphy (concussion) — who each were injured during Buffalo’s Week 5 win at the Tennessee Titans — were back on the practice field for both Wednesday and Thursday’s sessions, a good sign for their return to action vs. the Dolphins. Linebackers Matt Milano (hamstring) and Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Photo by Brett Carlsen/Getty Images An early look at the financial resources the Buffalo Bills will have to work with next season The 2019 Buffalo Bills have a few holes but overall feel like a relatively complete team. As we near the trade deadline at the end of the month, major roster shakeups are starting to feel unlikely. It’s only natural then to begin thinking of how the team can get better next year. Let’s check in on the 2020 Buffalo Bills’ cap space to see what kind of money they’ll have to work with. Data courtesy of Spotrac.com $89,721,785 The number above is the current amount of cap space Spotrac estimates that the Bills will have next year. This estimate is based on the projected 2020 NFL cap being increased $11 million to land at $199 million total for each team. The Bills are currently under the cap and are set to roll over nearly $27 million. This creates an actual cap ceiling of approximately $226 million for our favorite team next season. With $89 million Collapse
