​Miami @ Buffalo: 3 Keys to Victory

Coming off of a big win on the road, the Buffalo Bills go back home to host the Miami Dolphins. I just want to take a second and point out real quick that Buffalo is 1-0 after EVERYONE, including all of ESPN, said Buffalo couldn't beat Chicago. This Sundays game at the Ralph is going to be a game to remember. Just the atmosphere alone is gonna be unreal. This is one of the most anticipated home openers to date. I just want to remind fans that are attending then game that they ask everyone to be inside by 12:30pm for the "Tribute to Ralph" for without him, none of this is possible.

Buffalo swept Miami last year 2-0 and last time Buffalo faced Miami they shut Miami out 19-0 in Buffalo. In that game Tannehill felt the pressure, ending the game 10-27, 82 yards, 0tds and being sacked 7 times. He ended the game with a QBR of 45.6, this screams "BRING THE PRESSURE" to me. "In his four games against Buffalo, Miami Qb Ryan Tannehill has completed 48% of his passes (56-117) averaging less than 5 yards an attempt (4.68) with 6 touchdowns and 4 interceptions." (BuffaloBills. com) Tannehill has a career 1-3 record against the Buffalo Bills.

Bills fans, as you all know, this Sunday at the Ralph, it's more than just a game. It's the icing on the cake for the tribute to Ralph C Wilson Jr. Thanks to him we have the Buffalo Bills and thanks to him the Bills are staying in Buffalo! We no longer have to worry about the future of our team. Once again most people are choosing Miami to win, I saw 8-6 from the "experts" 8 for Miami, 6 for Buffalo so it's not by much, but we are the underdogs again. Don't be surprised if the "experts" are wrong.... again, the majority anyway. Get ready to Rock The Ralph Bills fans!! #RockTheRalph #BillsFanatics #WinItForRalph #BillsMafia #SquishTheFish 3 keys to victory

•Pressure Tannehill- As I stated earlier, Qb Ryan Tannehill was sacked 7 times in his last meeting in Buffalo and ended up with a QBR of just 45.6. Put the pressure on him and he's most likely going to become rattled.

•Ground and Pound- Just like last week Buffalo should focus on running the ball more. Miami will be without their 3 starting linebackers this Sunday. That's pretty good news for the Jackson and Spiller show. Buffalo ran for 193 yards last week, I'd expect similar numbers this week.

•Protect Ej- Miami's biggest threat on defense is their front 4. Cameron Wake alone is a force. Bills rookie offensive lineman, Seantrel Henderson has a huge test on Sunday protecting against Wake. It's definitely a matchup to keep an eye on. Establishing the run early should help get Ej some opportunities to take shots down field. The speed of Buffalo's Wrs can't be ignored. Granted the protection holds up! GO BILLS!!!
