Dolphins vs. Bills: TV Schedule, Live Stream, Radio, Game Time and More

Wes ODonnellDec 14, 2011

The Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills aren't so different any more. Buffalo started the season like gangbusters and quickly fell of the map.

Miami got off to a dismal start, strung up a few wins and now they are without coach. The Dolphins decided to part ways with Tony Sparano and now Todd Bowles is in charge for the time being.

This game doesn't have a ton of weight to it, but we get to see two teams focused on their futures.

What's At Stake?

Nothing. The Dolphins and Bills, if anything, are battling for a shot at potentially drafting the quarterback the other needs (and yes, that is saying the Bills made a mistake giving Fitzpatrick all that money).

Dolphins' Injury Report

Jake Long, OT—Questionable (Back)

Stevie Johnson, WR—Questionable (Hand)

Fantasy Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Sleeper

Start 'Em: Reggie Bush, RB, Dolphins

The Bills' rush defense is 25th in the league and Bush has played well this season.

Sit 'Em: C.J. Spiller, RB, Bills

The Dolphins are the league's No. 3 rush defense.

Sleeper: Daniel Thomas, RB, Dolphins

Buffalo can be so bad against the run that Thomas could see a big day as well.

What They're Saying

The Sun Sentinel talks about how difficult it will be for interim coach Todd Bowles to handle a me-first team:

"

Make no mistake about it, Bowles will have to fight against an every man for himself mentality, which doesn’t exactly work well in a team sport. However, from what I know about Bowles and his approach, he’ll be just fine. (Will) Allen said he’s doubtful Bowles will change that approach, which is candid and honest.

"

The Buffalo News talks about Chan Gailey handling his quarterback situation:

"

Bills coach Chan Gailey extended an emphatic vote of confidence for quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick on Monday, despite the team's and quarterback's corresponding tailspins.

"None. Zero. I have no questions about him," Gailey said when asked whether he had concerns about Fitzpatrick as the franchise's long-term quarterback. "We've all seen him do it. We know he can do it. I think as soon as we continue to work on getting everybody on the same page, I think Fitz'll be fine."

"

Dolphins Player to Watch: Reggie Bush, RB

The former No. 2 pick has arguably played the best he has his entire career. The Dolphins are going to move forward with a new quarterback next year, but the starting running back position can easily be Bush's if he continues playing well.

He's rushed for over 100 yards in each of the last two games.

Bills Player to Watch: Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB

Things are getting dicey for Fitzpatrick's future under center for the Bills. He, like the team, started the season great but gradually got worse.

Depending on what happens with Chan Gailey as the coach, he could be playing for a job despite his contract.

Key Matchup: Bills' run defense vs. Miami RBs

Buffalo is terrible against the run and Miami is struggling to throw the football. Plain and simple, this game will be won and lost on the line scrimmage when the Dolphins have the ball.

On the Hot Seat: Chan Gailey, Bills

He has to start winning games or he won't be a head coach any more.

Prediction: Dolphins 20, Bills 17
