Game Thread: Miami Dolphins Week 17 Game Thread vs Buffalo Bills

[Paolo305613]

Meaningless last game of the season - as the Dolphins will have been eliminated from playoff contention long before this game starts

 

[Paolo305613]

Howard, McDonald, Fales, Asiata, Sterup, Norton, Ford inactive for the final game of the season.

Maybe Gase AT LEAST hopefully Burke, will also be inactive after todays game.

 

[BigFin]

Better off losing this one. Although I officially predicted 8-8 before the season started.

 

[Paolo305613]

Dolphins D already melting down -- Kiko Alonso with a late hit to put the Bills in scoring range - hopefully Matt Burke can take Kiko with him when he is fired.

 

[Paolo305613]

Worth noting Fins won the toss and deferred

 

[Paolo305613]

Tannehill throws an INT on a bad throw - and horrible play call - Fins down 14 already

 

[Paolo305613]

A receiving TD for....Tannehill just before the half courtesy of Kenny Stills.

 

[Paolo305613]

With 48 seconds to go the Bills run a play as if Adam Gase called it and Reshad Jones returns it for a TD to tie the game in a matter of seconds just before the half.

 

[Paolo305613]

If only the Dolphins can bring back Joe Philbin for some second half magic rather than Gase and Burke

 

[Paolo305613]

Bills turn it around and come back to score on the Dolphins D with unsurprising ease. No resistance from the Fins D as usual

 

[Paolo305613]

Offensive line and play calling continue to betray Tannehill and the Dolphins offense but Tannehill will get the blame as usual

 

[Paolo305613]

Another dirty hit by Kikio that causes a near all-out-brawl

 

[Paolo305613]

Kiko rightfully ejected - hopefully Fins front office folks meet him in the locker-room and eject him from the team right away as well

 

[BigFin]

It looked like Kiko completely missed him, except his leg.

 

[Paolo305613]

Hopefully that defensive melt down on that drive is the clincher to fire Matt Burke

 

[Paolo305613]

It looked like Kiko completely missed him, except his leg.

An argument can be made for that - but I think history with Kiko and the notion of intent played a bigger role in the decision to eject him - the guy asked for it either way - and he earned it. As I have been expressing, it would only be icing on the cake if it actually led to the team actually, finally getting rid of him.

Time for a full restart. Clean house. Give Harbaugh whatever he wants. Let him make a decision on Tannehill.

 

[Paolo305613]

Kyle Williams is having a better game in the running game and catching than Fins RBs - thats how horrible this defense is.

 

[Paolo305613]

Time for a full restart. Clean house. Give Harbaugh whatever he wants. Let him make a decision on Tannehill.

Fins need a real coach -- not some college clown and his college antics on and off the field.
