Game Thread: Miami Dolphins - Buffalo Bills Game Thread

I said what would be most important about this game aside from winning and losing would be HOW the Dolphins played in this one - And they played like pure shit really in ever phase of the game. Similarly to how they played against NE. Not a good sign.

Fist pump. A tribute to Tony Sparano - needing TDs the Fins settle for 3 - should've settled for 3 at the end of the first half, probably wouldn't be in this situation.

The addition of Suh was a waste of money.

Why they have cap space and the team would be worse without him.

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Well, I think the plan with Jennings was to bring him in more so for the kind of guy he is for the locker-room and could be for our young receivers on the field, but more so off it - not necessarily for his production or potential production.

All he does is drop balls...

200+ yards rushing allowed by Fins D. All that toughness.

Fitting in with almost every Dolphins WR not named Landry or Matthews

Grimes again gets beat by someone faster, younger and better in RB Karlos Williams. He is a liability for our team at this point. His best days are behind him

They are a mess pull the plug play the rookies see what you have now. Clean out the front office and most of the coaches. Fix the oline and D...do it right.

Grimes had a bad game he'd still be a decent number 2 need to draft a CB..oh wait where's Davis???

Another reality check loss for Campbell and the Fins. On to the Eagles

Stills was better today but Parker being MIA hurt them this year. They could have drafted oline or CB and signed Crabtree instead of Jennings and been far better off. FO deserves some credit for this mess.

I am not defending the front office, nor am I trying to show any favoritism to any particular player - But, Davis has had trouble staying healthy and little chance to play when he was healthy. I agree Grimes would be a decent number 2 for most teams and our team - gotta find a replacement for him now and put him in that #2 role because he is a liability as the #1 now.

As for pulling the plug and just playing the rookies -- that may be a bit of an overreaction. As is the idea of cleaning out the front office - its only year two for these guys and they inherited most of these players and coaching staff - Rather, what they should do is clean out the entire coaching staff, or most of it -- and bring in some of their own guys. We do have some players to build around - others, can easily do without.

 

[Paolo305613]

I think the foot is a huge problem for Parker but I wouldn't say drafting him was a mistake - he was the best to be had at the position and filled a need. If the Fins had drafted an OL, I am sure he would've flopped just as bad or worse.

 

[Paolo305613]

Parker will be what the Dolphins thought he would be once he is healthy. I just hope he gets healthy before they give up on him like this franchise has a habit of giving up on talent.

I'm not confident in Tannenbaum look what he did with the Jets...we may be screwed for another 4- years now. Hope I'm wrong.

I hope so too but it killed them this year they really need oline and CB. LB too...

 

[Paolo305613]

No doubt we need help at those positions. Easier to say and see now with those guys struggling as well as our team. Still think Parker was the right move and will be long term. As for Tannebum - I don't put too much stock into what he did with the Jets - it was a disaster, yes - but they were set up for that and that isn't all on him. Thats further up responsibility above him

 

[Paolo305613]

After losing Wake last game - worth noting we get out of this game fairly healthy. One of the few, if not only plus out of today.

I'm glad that you are confident in Tannenbaum hope you are right...

I think everyone knew our oline and LB were weak and nothing done about it. No surprise there which is frustrating...
