On to face the Bills after a much needed victory vs the Steelers.

Are the bills better than the steelers? Highly doubt it just as long as the team plays like they did today they can win. They just need to remain healthy on the oline as thats obviously the key to this team. WR's need to catch the ball as well too many drops.

 

[FanofPelicans]

The Fins showed what can happen when their Oline is healthy. The pass protection was at its best & the run blocking was great. Ajayi is really proving himself to be the starting RB.

I see this game as a big challenge but not impossible. If the Fins get another win it could be the beginning of a winning streak after the bye week based on the schedule.

R Jones being out is a major setback but winning teams have to be able to overcome adversity.

I watched a replay of the Steelers - Dolphins game during the week.
It certainly was a big improvement, however, a lot of things fell your way.
I hate to call it a "lucky" win but I'd take the Steelers again in a heartbeat if all things remained the same.
Buffalo has owned Miami recently. They are a "hot" team right now (make me puke)
If you play the way you played against Pittsburgh, it might not be enough to win.
If you can stop the Buffalo running game, you'll win by 30......

Shady being out will help.....

I'm taking Buffalo but I would be very happy for Miami to beat Buffalo.....
Go get Geno, Suh!

 

[Paolo305613]

Solid first drive for the Fins but of course they had to settle for 3 -- special teams didn't help and the defense doing what it does too much of in giving up too many yards too easily and now we are down 7

 

[Paolo305613]

I like the way we are running -- from the amount of times, to the success. We are doing a lot more shifting motions in this game -- dating back to parts of last game, its helping. More of that is needed.

Hopefully the defense will get their head out of their ass -- I have confidence in our offense

 

[Paolo305613]

Then we settle for a FG after some dumb penalty

 

[Paolo305613]

Terrible decision to just let the clock run without making an effort to move the ball down field at least for an FG before the half -- especially with the Bills receiving first in the half.

At least we are running the ball well. The rest of the offense has to come together and the defense has to show up and we can take this one

 

[Paolo305613]

Huge and much needed stop by the Dolphins D to start the half.

 

[Paolo305613]

Unacceptable to come up empty on this possession

 

[Paolo305613]

Great stop by the defense to keep us in this one. Time for the offense to execute

 

[Paolo305613]

Drive killing penalty at the wrong time. Didn't like the play call on that drive given the field position.

 

[Paolo305613]

Good blitz pick up from the Bills and then bad Byron Maxwell shows up. This could be a bad turning point now

 

[Paolo305613]

Must score on this possession to stay in the game. It must be a clock eating scoring drive

 

[Paolo305613]

Cant let that big run happen there

 

[Paolo305613]

Great stop by the defense and Suh there after letting them move the ball a little too easy. Force a punt on what looked like would be 3 for the Bills

 

[Paolo305613]

Not the greatest of field position. But a shot at another long scoring drive which is still much needed

 

[Paolo305613]

Ajayi with a huge run -- could be even bigger depending on how this drive ends
