Wes Welker won't play in Denver Broncos' game Sunday as NFL, union fail to reach drug agreement before roster deadline - ESPN

It's a very good thing that you haven't heard his name Paolo ! He's playing fantastic so far. Maybe if Ireland traded for him last year he'd still be here. On a side note KC is suffering without him...

Inactives:C Mike Pouncey
DE Terrence Fede
LB Jordan Tripp
LB Koa Misi
G Billy Turner
DL Bruce Gaston
OT Jason Fox

Dolphins veteran Jason Trusnik will start at middle linebacker and Philip Wheeler is expected to start on defense.

Small thing but could become huge at times thats why it pisses me off - we win the toss but differ - we need to establish momentum, so we shouldve taken the ball to start off

 

[Paolo305613]

Bad personnel move on that third down situation for the Fins, blitz pick up is not a strength for Lamar Miller so its a bad idea to have him out there in that situation. He didnt even attempt to pick up a block. You have to stick with Moreno in that situation or call a different play.

Slow start for the offense, good field position for the bills - early pressure on the Dolphins D- they will only hold up for so long.

 

[Paolo305613]

Bills are going to kill the fins with that bunch formation - Fins better force them to run, I believe those short passes will kill the fins.

 

[Paolo305613]

our CBs are playing way off again - if thats the case , just let the bills in the endzone already - thats weak

 

[Paolo305613]

Bad play calling so far - too early to go to that deep ball to wallace and to follow it up with a weak bubble screen on third down. Not a good start.

A punt block could make things ugly. No reason for the DOlphins to be playing this bad. They are playing down to opponent and its costing them

 

[Paolo305613]

I expected that cutting Marcus Thigpen for no reason would start to hurt us at some point but not this early.

 

[Paolo305613]

Knowshon Moreno is out for the game with an elbow injury - some are expecting him to miss more time.

 

[Paolo305613]

so far the Dolphins are calling plays on offense that take discipline and time to develop , not a strength of theirs... They are throwing this game away early... Bill Lazor may have been kidnap and replaced by Sherman at OC again

 

[Paolo305613]

No disrespect to the bills, even with the early sacks - they arent doing anything special to stop the fins - fins just shooting themeselves in the foot too much

 

[Paolo305613]

Fins are playing dumb right now. They have established NOTHING on offense yet still going for the big plays. They just keep finding ways to lose this one so early in the game.

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Yep they simply decide no willingness to play football against Buffalo. I do give their D credit as they play sound fundamental football. Fins D is also playing well...or this could be worse.

 

[Paolo305613]

Weak 2 minute drill to end the half there for the fins but not surprised at all with the way they have played so far. They will need to score a TD on their first drive of the half to have a chance the rest of this game - if they dont score on the first drive, it will be over - even if we continue to hold the bills to 3

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Not a bad drive so there's hope. Need the D to play stiff the second half.

 

[Paolo305613]

Tannehill throwing those passes too hard - could’ve easily had a TD on one of those two passes. more pressure on the D to get a quick stop.

 

[Paolo305613]

special teams hasnt been special at all today - that may have been the game there for the fins

 

[Paolo305613]

Spiller got passed sturgis by the 10 yard line - that can’t happen... Calling for the head of ST coach .. always thought he was going to be gone with the last regime... not sure how he is even worthy of assistant coach status - i guess thats because of tenure.
