Live-Blogging Quest for Perfectville: Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins 09/25/2022

Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on Professional Football’. This Afternoon, I will be doing a new thing on ‘Shish on Professional Football’.
​
Since I am a lifelong Miami Dolphins Fan. And that franchise will be celebrating their 50th Anniversary of the Perfect Season. My alternate live blogs during the season outside of Sunday & Monday Night games will be the ‘Quest for Perfectville’.

There is only team that is in Perfectville in the NFL (Undefeated in both regular season & playoffs). And they are the 1972 Dolphins.

And I will begin this new blog theme, with the 2-0 Miami Dolphins taking on the 2-0 Buffalo Bills.

Bills have been played like their unstoppable the last two games. Their average margin of victory is 27.5 PPG. However, there is still questions about them when they play in one-possession games. As they were 0-6 including the overtime playoffs loss to Kansas City, Last Season. They were able to dominate the Miami Dolphins in both matchups.
​
Buffalo played the Dolphins during the 7-game losing streak that ultimately cost the Dolphins a bid to the playoffs for the 5th consecutive season and 18th out of the last 20 seasons.

But there is some sunlight in the South Florida Horizon in the 2022 Regular Season, as wide receiver Tyreek Hill and running back Raheem Mostert make the Dolphins stronger contender to make the Playoffs, This Season. And especially last week, as they came back from 21 points down and defeat the Ravens in Baltimore.

However, the Bills are certainly a test as they have defeated the Dolphins the last 7 consecutive games. With the last time this matchup was a one-score result, came in Week 2 of the 2020 Season.

So, will this be the same Bills & Dolphins? Or will the 2022 Dolphins continue to their quest for perfection?

It is Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins, coming up shortly.
