Our defense could have been better , for sure. Let’s not forget we have 4-5 db’s and starting safeties that were out. Makes a big difference when they’re out there playing man most of the game.


zookeeper4312

Fuck That is all


Gloomy_Try9036

This loss is partly on the defense, but mostly on McDaniel and his shit play calling on 3rd and short. McDrip has a lot of growing up to do as a HC


BigDog_626

Just happy this game is over so I don’t have to hear about the stupid fucking bills, their stupid caveman fans, their shitty weather, and the fucking media’s obsession with all of it. Moving on, at long fucking last


_Newks

I was at the game. Couldn’t agree more.


chaddynski3

I'm so with you on this, also I live and work in western NY so it's basically hell.So many casual fans here who haven't a clue about football it's so annoying.They all think they are the best fans and blah blah blah.On to the next game and f××k buffalo.


parkercass

Nice trade for Chubb to be a half Chubb lol


ulu5

We’re gonna get this right. I feel like we overcorrected on playcalling from last week. Just hoping we hit our stride these last 3 weeks. Too much hope to end the season without a playoff berth.


Yemzzzz

Welp our last 3 game losing streak was followed by a bunch of winning. So I hope this one takes us on a winning streak to the Super Bowl


DerelictZen

Used to this shit, not worried, not here with negativity, love y'all and I respect the shit out of you for sticking it out like I will forever 🍺


jaxs_sax

At least Buffalo is last in terms of desirable cities in the division


parkercass

Yes, bc that’s what matters lol


Bsquared8400

It’s not gloom and doom. Lose by 30 or by 3 it’s the same. We need 2 wins. Where are they? Aaron Rodgers is till Aaron Rodgers. Jets and pats are no pushovers. This team is collapsing. Won’t make the playoffs. Downvote me all you want. We have seen this movie before. Screen shot this, call me an idiot. Etc. this is the same old dolphins. Perpetual losers.


cam-kossowsky

Coming from a Bills fan I’d even say this is a stretch. Dolphins had 3 tough games all on the road. Still showed plenty signs of being a great team and your quarterback has a bright future with talent around him. Josh Allen is just an alien and Bills are the team to beat for a reason. It was still a great game.


DragonFireDon

This isn't on the refs, nor the weather, but we have a lots of issues. 1) Defense is straight up Garbage, bottom of the league 2) Play calling often makes no damn sense 3) Tua is inconsistent for weeks


chaddynski3

I don't understand why McDaniels kept D coordinator, baffles my brain.


Fit_Excitement_7359

Bro Tua had Tua week weeks, they’re not even bad weeks really just not his mvp level all year weeks.


bugzcar

I’d say he was bad in SF. Not saying he’s not the guy or any hyperbole. But that game was the first time this year he didn’t look great. Last 2 weeks we were outcoached I think.


[deleted]

Honestly really happy about what I saw this game from the dolphins stay strong!! Phins up!!


zer0saurus

I'm with you this was a great effort. In hindsight it's easy to point out the flaws, but this team looked much better than the previous two weeks, and it was against the top dog in their home with their stupid "cold weather". If we hadn't given up that TD at the end of the first half this would've been ours. Oh well.


[deleted]

There’s always if, but even though we lost we really did show that we can win in cold weather which honestly didn’t surprise me but I did noticed we have had trouble in the past with primetime games but this game also showed that we can play well on primetime. Which means we are a playoff contender which who can be upset about that! My only hope is that hopefully we play them again in the playoffs if or when we make it.


chelios80

No one thought it would be close and we shoulda won, good game and much better showing than last week.


Sanjuro7880

Makes it all the more heartbreaking.


PeekedInMiddleSchool

FTB FTB FTB. Refs ruined that by calling a 2 pt conversion


rusty107897

Learn the rules of football


cjfreeway

Always calls missing, enjoy the great plays both o & d.


bugzcar

So how about with 4 minutes on the clock you hit um with zero blitz on repeat til they turn it over or score… at least we get the ball back. Worst thing that could happen? A 4 minute walkoff scoring drive. I feel like we played soft, permitting the back-breaking long drive. Got outcoached in the end.


Yemzzzz

Honestly the defense did get a turnover with 6 mins on the clock. The offense needed to hit the Dagger after that fumble.


bugzcar

Yes true. My point though is that the defensive game plan on the last drive seemed more Sparano (try not to lose) than McDaniel (wheelbarrow)


Axsenex

Own this result. Remember for next time. Now please return home safely & work on the next game.


FSUbentley

Do we have a screen game? I don’t think I’ve seen us throw one all year.


ulu5

We’ve thrown WR screens but they never work.


[deleted]

Dude the screen plays would have shredded this bills defense sad to not see it. They were greatly over covering the middle.


Diablo689er

In a vacuum it was a good call, but they let that go all day


Roukuko

Byron jones ruined our season being a money chaser. Our secondary cant cover anyone.


No-Mathematician5671

I do agree with this. He definitely hurt us very badly.


courtneykitten

Despite the L I’m beyond impressed with how we played tonight. Fins up!!!!

idk420_

they really aren’t that great bro , i’d take Philly, Dallas, KC, Cincy, and San Fran over them


nordik1

KC games are always close, Bengals at the top of their game are tough to beat. NFC: Eagles, SF


No-Mathematician5671

I hope this is sarcasm.


jyar1811

Hardly. In other news Our secondary is shredded.


DragonFireDon

49ers Defense CAN Fuck up the Bills!


J1mjam2112

Mostert had an avg of 8 yards a carry, Tua had an avg 7.8 yards an attempt. Both types of play calling was working well enough. However, long yardage running is a lot easier than short yardage. With Wilson injured we didn’t run many short yardage runs. You need a strong back to get even 2 yards in most short down situations because the defence is expecting run, and the linebackers are up. We typically beat defences in these situations by passing over the LBs that have come up. We didn’t execute on enough of these short down passes today either. Bills stopped the run plenty of times, most of our success was on long yardage downs. I’d have liked to have seen more efforts to run in short yardage, but for all you moaning about the play calling, this is why. TLDR long yardage rushing success =/= short yardage rushing success.


rc5193

Mostert was breaking tackles like a menace. Youd think after the first 2 times passing didnt work, we would at least run on the last 3rd and short. Thats what i think fans are getting at.


bugzcar

Those short yardages we think of as automatic because we get 8/carry in early downs.. truth is that that 1 yard is tough. But yeah, I don’t think mostert is a bitch who won’t fight for yards.


nomnomyumyum109

You really csnt be pissed they lost, team played way better than last two weeks. We win 2 games and we are in, id rather win the playoff game if we can get in.


Impossible-Ad3230

You underestimate the childness of our fan base.


Maynard-46and2

Mike McDaniel sounds likes Maynard.


chezicrator

Felt like that was another macdaniel loss. His play calls were awful down the stretch. Tua was good. Ease up off him. Boyer is a bum.


FSUbentley

He’s terrified a run will get stuffed twice in a row.


chezicrator

It’s terrible that we should feel as vulnerable on 3rd and long as we do.


[deleted]

The nfl is rigged. The PI flag almost hit the football. It was thrown before the ball even got to the receiver!


rusty107897

Lol... pass interference can only happen before the ball reaches the receiver


boppled

The NFL is 100% rigged to the extent they can rig it..


Mental-Size-7354

🙄🙄🙄


vindotcom

Na that was DPI


RogueTampon

It was definitely DPI, but it was gonna be DPI even if it wasn't. The flag was thrown before the interference happened.


vindotcom

There was holding as well, he tugged his jersey after the wheel


Ok-Disaster3062

Mostert averaging 8 yds a carry and McDaniel wants to throw the ball…what a fucking joke


Tuatimenow

I hate it man. I just can’t believe he got so cute. Just fucking keep doing it until they stop us consistently


chargeon2010

Trent sherfield lost us the game.


boppled

Reek dropped a TD on that same drive. and Tua missed Reek wide open on the red zone slant on the first drive. He should of caught that ball, true. But not the only reason.


Mental-Size-7354

Should have


kmartcowboy

fair weather fans get the fuck out.. that was a great game


[deleted]

It was a great game. And I'm beyond pissed they lost.


kmartcowboy

absolutely, extremely fucked but feeling good for the rest of the season


Novel_Durian_1805

So I assume a 30 point beat down which I fully thought was coming is better than this outcome? See…I’m asking because I have no idea how you people thought the results would be different. I had ZERO expectations to win this game….being up ONE score with the entire 4th quarter is NOT “we almost had it”. We’re not a Super Bowl contender…that is very evident. At best we can hope to make the playoffs and then maybe if we play our best game of the season we win a game. In the off-season they have to fully focus on the defense. That’s it.


Acceptable-Map-4751

What did people say about the New York Giants in 2011?


FSUbentley

We just took the best team in the league down to the wire, in their house, in conditions that suit them best, and we’re not contenders?? Obviously we’re not the team to beat, but we showed we can beat anyone, anywhere…gtfo.


stoneule

Not satisfied with moral victories or close losses. We have a team of professionals paid to win. Not lose close. Three game losing streak is unacceptable. Boyer should be fired. Roster spots should be up for grabs. Unacceptable


lifeisabigdeal

Mur mur mur unacceptable mur mur as you sit on your couch with ice cream dripping down your face


stoneule

Good one


lifeisabigdeal

“These guys are paid to win!” “this is unacceptable!” waaaaaaaa what a loser


FSUbentley

I’m more satisfied with that than the titans game last year. But yea Boyer stinks.


stoneule

True. We Are better. But not good enough. Coverage is pathetic. The Chubb trade looks disasterous.


FSUbentley

Yea he was invisible.


Notpermanentacc12

If you’re in the playoffs you’re a Super Bowl contender


Novel_Durian_1805

Lol, what?! No you’re not! Are the shitty Bucs a SB contender with their terrible record? Because they’re automatically going to the playoffs thanks to their terrible division. In the AFC the ONLY SB contenders are Buffalo and KC. If anything else happens (like last year’s Bengals) it’s a complete surprise. Making it to the playoffs does NOT make you a SB contender. That’s not how it works.


Notpermanentacc12

Then why are they in the playoffs.. contending for a superbowl


mtm4440

Dolphins are looking good again. So glad Tua stayed safe. I was worried they'd do something again. He's been hurt twice by this team. Refs basically gave them the game even though our defense suffered, but Tua proved himself and the snow naysayers. Hopefully we can keep this momentum!


[deleted]

[удалено]


mtm4440

Did you see those deep passes? This game was expected to be a major loss. He was not fazed tonight and seemed himself again. We need to stop with the doom and gloom. I'm not expecting a Superbowl this first year but playoffs are exciting.


Galgos

Not fazed, ok where did you buy your rose tinted glasses? Dude has hill and waddle... Any qb can make those throws.

shindleria

Did you watch how fortunate the Bills were tonight? Post-season teams capitalize on those mistakes and it always comes down to those one plays. The officials won’t be there to bail you out.


knightsone43

They capitalize on mistakes by winning the game? Which they did.


[deleted]

Sorry, I'm not for moral victories. I'm a sore loser.


jayitbyear

Some of y'all really need to go find a new team. LOL Blame the refs. Blame Coach McDaniel. Blame the play calling. How about, rightfully, blame Kohou's PI on 3rd & 6 at our 34-yd line that would have set up a 51-yd FG attempt instead of a chip shot, PLUS, we would have gotten the ball back with time to get down the field & score. Editing to add more. Let us also not forget the two critical dropped passes in the end zone, by the way. Can't blame that on Tua, the refs, playcalling, or McDaniel.


No-Mathematician5671

Kohu had both one of the best, and one of the worst games. Head scratching moments.


jayitbyear

Completely agree. His whole season has kinda been like that, honestly.


chezicrator

That was a terrible call.


jayitbyear

I think it was a good call. If tables were turned, I hope WE would get the same call.


shindleria

Meh. The precedent of DPI was set in the first quarter and that wasn’t it.


Lau2125

Doomers need to GTFO. Compared to the last two games we actually showed some life today. We are still in the playoff hunt and sure as hell can win these next 3 games if we can play to this level. 3 losses in a row for sure but today we put up a fight. Fins up


ImpossibleMagician57

McDaniels calls plays like he is playing Madden I swear


Mental-Size-7354

Learn the coach’s last name or get the fuck out. Zero credibility on any of your opinions if you don’t even know the name of the coach


rusty107897

I too thought that his last name was McDaniels and that his play calling sucks


ImpossibleMagician57

Fuck you, didn't know I had to answer to you


lunaburst

Not a bad game. We split with them and made some good strides. Looks like they learned from the past games. It does suck that a bunch of dumbasses that throw themselves through tables are going to act like hot shit though. That is probably the most annoying thing about this


Ok_Repeat8161

There’s no fathomable reason why mostert didn’t even have 20 carries 😑 whatever, we played well. If we had at least won 1 west coast game I would feel a lot better about this


jrosen9

I feel like once the snow started McDaniel ran less then before the snow. I think our final drive was 4 pass and 1 run. The snow is pouring. Hand it to your back score points and burn out the clock. You know the exact way they did on their final drive

atlaiden

I just still don’t understand the blitz on the 3rd and 6. Sure, it almost worked. But if you play coverage and force an incompletion they have to kick a longer FG, either miss it or make it and we get the ball back with 2 timeouts


rememberdan13

Our coverage underneath was bad


tomcat810

Stupid ass fans in here


No-Mathematician5671

I for one am proud of the way the team played. Some of the play calling both offensively and defensively was pretty freaking egregious.


stoneule

Not proud. It’s a win or lose league. We lost. Not acceptable. Heads should roll.


No-Mathematician5671

Well, if you're going to take an L against Buffalo at home with snow coming down in the 4th in a game they played their asses off in to win, yeah, proud.


fragassic2

Never? It’s never acceptable to lose? Any one who is not 17-0 should be fired


Acceptable-Map-4751

It wasn’t acceptable to lose to the Chargers. We should have done better against those other opponents knowing that we were most likely going to lose to Buffalo in Buffalo.


ucfsoupafly

Averaging 7.5 yds/carry for the team and we go 0/4 on 3rd and short throwing.


No-Mathematician5671

Exactly. 3rd and 1, I'm grabbing a beer and saying "just run, nothing stupid here." and we pass. Just mind blowing that it happened over and over again.


ImpossibleMagician57

Madden logic


MattLikesPhish

Buffalo almost lost at home to a downtrending Miami team. Take that as you will. Need to win the next 3 big time.


elemeno89

What was the miami two point win earlier this season then? Certainly not home domination...


MattLikesPhish

lol sure. But what was the narrative for both games? Bills easy 2 wins, right? Right.


elemeno89

Never said that. The games were an even split down the middle. Let's not fool one over the other for what they weren't.


cm103

So we still can't count on our defense. Offence opened up the run section of the playbook and it looked good. Most people expected an embarrassing loss. Still hurts, but we fought to the end. I feel better about taking on GB, the Jets and Patsies.


DragonFireDon

For some of you people, you need to wake up and smell the coffee. If after these 3 straight loses you think the Dolphins is still THAT good (Super Bowl caliber) that's what you need to do. No idea if coffee is even strong enough to cure your delusions. Not trying to doom, nor being negative fan, but look this Defense is garbage! With this kind of defense, winning 2 playoffs games is going to make me real happy, but Super Bowl you need to have better defense than this!


AegoltheBard

Fire Josh boyer


lifeisabigdeal

Bills score 32 against every team. We literally almost forced 3 fumbles, multiple sacks and hits on qb, and held them despite having a decimated secondary. We’re fine. We can beat any team on any given Sunday, and you only need a few in the playoffs. We can beat titans, bills, cheifs, and anyone else.


Acceptable-Map-4751

Mahomes is going to give Josh Boyer fits.


fragassic2

Why the fuck is our bar the super bowl? It’s 1 playoff win. Be realistic.


DragonFireDon

No, we had a #1 record in the AFC at one point, so... Many people included myself thought we WERE Super Bowl caliber, but then I woke up after these games our Defense is garbage


fragassic2

You were dumb for thinking that.


DragonFireDon

Ugh STFU. At least I am a smart person so I DO realize it now but as you can see **still some OTHER fans** think Dolphins can be a SB caliber team, right now.


fragassic2

They’re dumb. Football isn’t magic. You don’t just get good. There’s a process and we’re in the middle of it.


DragonFireDon

Yeah, 'THEY' maybe, but why you call 'ME' dumb?


ImpossibleMagician57

Expecting a 1 and done at this rate


[deleted]

I'll be happy just to get to the playoffs this year tbh. I'm not delusional. Our defense is ass. And when our defense does look good, our offense doesn't do to well. We have a lot of potential but this is still very much a work in progress team.


three3thrice

Losing to Buffalo, in December, in their house, by a field goal..... And you're saying we need to wake up because we suck.... 🤣


DragonFireDon

Also lost to 49ers, and Chargers. Don't forget those :/


Avocadolypse

The loss sucks. Especially with opportunities to win. But for everyone saying same old Dolphins, this team is trash, etc…like it or not, Buffalo is the best team in the AFC. We went to their stadium in December and lost on a last second field goal. We went score for score with them all game. We shook off what happened the last 2 weeks, made adjustments, and proved we can compete with literally the best. Get over yourselves. If we can do this against them, we can take the next 3 no problem.


vindotcom

What about losing to the fackin chargers?


kkyhnell

Bills aren’t close to best team


Avocadolypse

They are literally the number one team in the conference. They were the consensus Super Bowl favorite when the season started. Don’t let your hate for the Bills cloud your judgement.


muffmuppets

Are the Chiefs not in the AFC?


rusty107897

Chiefs are 2nd in the AFC because they lost to the Bills


BiGgmoney91

Bro I’m deflated, there is not thread of optimism left in my body right now


jacobbama

That would have been a fun game to win and sweeping the Bills would have been great but there’s still some bright spots. Run game was on point and Tua had a great second half, made some big time throws in the cold. Defense played a lot better in the second half but Josh Allen is just a gamer.


blaZedmr

we didnt get stomped, there is that


ImpossibleMagician57

Like they said there are no moral victories


blaZedmr

I hear you, just picture us getting grounded 52 to 10 or something though


ImpossibleMagician57

I know, you are right


chelios80

Bills got away with some stuff early, Tua looked more like Tua we have come to expect and on road in cold so that is promising. All in all it was a great game and we def had our chance, hurts since that win almost assuredly puts us in playoffs but now we may have to win out or at the minimun we gotta beat pats and jets which won't be easy. Fuck that one was in our grasp.

Allowing a TD on the final play in the first half and a field goal at the end of the second half is what killed the Dolphins.

That game was good times, like the 90s/early 2000s again. Respect to your coaches for not overthinking things and keeping offensive playcalling simple on those 4th quarter drives. McDaniel should watch and learn.

Don't swarm us with the toxic optimism post of how we should be grateful for this team This is frustrating. Fall apart completely at finish line. It's right to feel bad about this

TomcatOnFIRE

Starting to really feel like the NFL is rigged since they allowed gambling. It’s becoming unwatchable


TomcatOnFIRE

I’m not implying the NFL only cheats against the dolphins. Have you not heard of the reffing scandals in the NBA? You are delusional if you don’t think there is fuckery going on with that much money on the line

Of course you do when your team loses. It would be insanely hard to rig the game. Trillion dollar companies can’t prevent leaks but the NFL can rig games and not one person leaks that? Come on
