Miami at Buffalo (1 Viewer)

Lewis missed badly on a screen set up and also down the field to what I thought was an open WR.

Miami partially deflected the punt or it was shanked, Miami gets a 13 yard punt from Buffalo, set up in Buffalo territory i believe.

I saw a live shot about 1/2 hour ago of the players warming up and I was like "lame, they're showing footage from an hour ago when only the hard core fanatics were there"

These days I think all the stadiums are empty until right before the kick or after the 1st possession as folks are trying to get in from the parking lot. It takes minimum 10-15 minutes to get thru entrance and security.

 
Lewis with a beauty to Woods along the left sideline, Miami DB never really turned around to find the ball, Buffalo set up at the Miami 30 yard line, field position now changed just like that.

Not sure what Philbin is challenging.

…foot out of bounds, Woods stayed in bounds and gained more yards, silly challenge by Philbin, was already a big play and the extra yards were not worth burning a timeout on when you have a QB who can do damage inside of 2 minutes of the half, save those GD timeouts for him you idiot.

Am I totally crazy for thinking that if Buffalo doesn't draft a QB, that they should give Lewis a chance to compete for the starting job over Manuel?

There's actually more people in there now than I was anticipating. The weather is ####....just above freezing with ice cold rain...the worst weather for fans, IMO. There were only like 59,000 tickets sold....it is blacked out on local TV.

Only 1 blackout game this year though - that's better than the past few years.

I think it should always be an open competition, and I think Lewis and Manuel are fairly equal at this point, all things considered. That said, I don't really see anything out of Lewis that makes me think he's a long-term answer at QB. Manuel, on the other hand, could be that guy.

The thing that I like a lot about Lewis is that he seems to have a ton of confidence. He plays like a guy with nothing to lose...which he pretty much is.

Yeah, the confidence is huge to me. The fact that he's not a chicken about throwing downfield is a big plus IMO. That's what the offense really needs to have to open up. I'm just sick of seeing the dink and dunk from Edwards to Fitzpatrick and now to Manuel.

 
I hate the play I just saw Koa Misi make. You have the WR/RB in this case rookie Goodwin and he is running out of bounds, likely to not make any progress and Misi gets to him just before he is out of bounds and tackles him hard, rolls him into the players on the sidelines, coulda been called roughing or a 15 yard penalty of some kind, it's a bad play by Misi and he should be called on it.

Unnecessary roughness I would call it.

 
I love how Lewis is pushing the ball down the field. He's looking a lot like a more accurate Ryan Fitzpatrick today.

 
MOP - is it as bad as it seems? I cant watch the game but it doesnt seem our offense can muster much thus far.

 
Miami has one of the best red zone defenses in the NFL right now, looks like that will battle tested today.

Miami has no rhythm on offense, defense looks a bit lackluster, and as I say that Buffalo runs over Miami into the end zone, nothing fancy, just good ole smash mouth football and Miami is getting their ### handed to them right now.

 
The Bills defense is a tough matchup for Miami's slow developing offense. And Daniel Thomas sucks at pass protection.

We look terrible on offense, no running game which they sorely need today, Tannehill no shots down the field, Hartline dropped an easy catch that would have at minimum been a 40-50 yard gain, might have scored but he flat dropped the football.

Miami has none of that "IT" factor it has displayed the last 3 weeks. I hate to be the guy that ays I told you so but I fears they would do this today. Just because you beat Pittsburgh in the snow on the road doesn't mean you win @Buff in lousy weather.

Will Miami roll over and die today or are they gonna get their ### in gear and make a game of it? We'll see but Tannehill looks shaky and Miami is already down 10-0.

 
Miami had a retainer for a defense attorney representing the OL early in the season for manslaughter charges vs Tannehill. I thought those charges might be dropped but they look alive and well today, Tannehill very little time to throw.

Miami looks like they are ready to abandon the run at any moment.

3rd time Tannehill has been sacked on 3rd down…I'm speechless.

4th 3-n-out today. This is terrible if you root for Miami. This is shades of earlier Phins in the season. Lack of real leadership shows up in these tough games.

 
Bills just gashing Miami thru screens and straight runs. Not sure what Miami is expecting Buffalo to do. I can't believe Miami is gonna lose to Thaddeus Lewis twice in the same season...

And finally Miami gets a turnover but they have already squandered good field position, they have a total of 19 yard on offense so far. This is just brutal watching the Miami offense today.

Buffalo has no fear of Miami's offense, none. Tannehill must must must connect with Wallace on a couple long plays to stretch them out or make them pay. The short and middle of the field is completely covered, NE last week allowed it to go uncovered and Miami made them pay. Rishard Mathews a total non factor at the slot today.

 
And Miami continues to play into the Bills hands with the dink and dunk, they are trying to get 5 and only 5 yards on 1st down no matter what the play call. No chunks of yards. Miami has a short 3rd and inches coming up, Sherman likes to pass on these downs so I expect him to do it again.

QB sneak would be nice.

Wallace is catching everything his way even after the big hit early, it might have woke him up. I believe he has 3 catches on this last drive before the half, he seems to be dialed in but on short patterns, would like to see them try a long pass.

Daniel Thomas was just tackled 1 armed by a Buff DB, guy just falls down in the back field. Our running game sucks.

Mathews is non existent, not much form Clay, Hartline has dropped balls and is having a terrible game, Wallace better be Superman or we are sunk. I would even take a FG here before the half just to make it a 1 possession game going into the locker room.

 
I love this Robey kid. Other than him getting slaughtered by big receivers in the endzone, he's been phenomenal. Best nickel corner in the league IMO.

The 4th time on 3rd down that Tannehill is sacked. Guy was flying off the corner on a blitz, timed perfectly and Miami will go into the locker room shutout.

Miami was beat week 17 last year in New England 28-0, cold wet weather and they stunk up the joint. They look pathetic right now, a shell of what we have seen the past month plus. Shameful to tease the fans and then turn in this pathetic excuse of a first half vs a 3rd string QB(no offense Bills).

Miami is not a playoff team and if you look at the whole body of work you can see it. They are average, plain and simple, they do nothing exceptional. They have the 25th ranked run, 17th ranked pass, they are not that special.

 
Tannehill does nothing…holy cripples they look terrible.

Midfield-NADA

Interception-NADA

2 drives inside of 2 minutes in the half-NADA

Bills fans can jump in here and correct me anytime they like but I think I'm doing a great job of summing up the sucktitude of the Miami Dolphins today. 50 total yard on offense, good bye Phins, thanks for trying to make a season of it for the fans. been a while since we had something to play for in week 16, looks like we will go from controlling out destiny to out of the playoffs today. Cinci will win, Baltimore will win, Miami stays home for the holidays.

Yep. Complete steal.

Other than Manuel, Whaley's first draft has been a huge success already. Jury is still out on Manuel and obviously a miss there is bigger than anywhere else (although they basically had to go QB and Glennon seems like the only guy that has outplayed him)

And we still don't know if Tannehill is Miami's QB of the future, 30 games into his career.

I don't know how much of this performance I'd put on him. He's been getting slaughtered with guys in his face all game.

And as much as the Bills have dominated the first half, it's still a 10-point game. Still a wide open game.
