You don't hear much about the Bills-Dolphins rivalry these days. Just like you don't hear much about the visitors being intimidated at Ralph Wilson Stadium any more.
For good reason--the Buffalo Bills have lost seven of their last eight games in Orchard Park, three of four this year. Rebuilding their home field advantage is an important step towards eventual playoff contention.
"Yeah, it is tough,' says veteran receiver Lee Evans. "It is tough and it is hard to aspire to go to playoffs and things like that when you dont win at home. It's certainly been tough. I was talking to somebody the other day and they said, it kind of feels like weve been on the road a lot this year."
Bills interim coach Perry Fewell is hoping to change all that. "It is difficult to come home and only win one game at home, that has been difficult. All i can say is this week, we need you there. We need our fans there. This is ideal weather conditions to bring the Dolphins in and play them here."
Fewell has ruled Tackle Demetrius Bell, Defensive Tackle John McCargo, and Cornerback Ashton Youboty out of this week's game. The Bills injury report also lists cornerback Terrence McGee, Safety Jairus Byrd, and Defensive tackle Marcus Stroud questionable for Sunday's game
