20 things we learned in Miami Dolphins’ 26-11 loss to Buffalo Bills

If the Buffalo Bills are the cream of the AFC East, if Miami’s division rival is the top dog in the AFC Conference, then what the Miami Dolphins are building isn’t good enough. That&#82…

  1. 2nd 7 game losing streak under Flores.
  2. Tua’s worst career games vs Buffalo
  3. Miami and Houston continue to play hardball for Watson
  4. Allen had all day, no pass rush
  5. Austin Reiter decent compared to rest of O-line
  6. Run game abandoned again, 21 2nd half rushing yards
  7. Beasley destroyed Miami secondary, caught 10/13 targets
  8. Diggs beat Howard for another score
  9. Defense better without baker
  10. Special teams continues to regress, missed FG, return game nonexistent
  11. Wilkins continues solid season
  12. Elandon roberts missed tackle on Allen on 3rd down proved costly
  13. Tua struggles vs winning teams now has career 69.8 rating with 4 tds 5 ints
  14. Tua struggles vs the AFC east, 65.6 rating vs division this season
  15. Passing in nfl has evolved: avg rating in Marino’s rookie season was 78.4, today it’s 97.7
  16. QB matters, Pennington is the only Dolphins QB since Marino to finish top 3 in rating (2nd in 2008)
  17. 2001-2006 Brady had a 74.3 rating vs Dolphins.
  18. Bills own their first 6 game win streak vs Miami
  19. Belichick tree remains underwhelming Flores now 16-24 as coach
  20. Next up Houston. Miami is 1-8 all time vs Houston. Texans will be the 5th Dolphins opponent to enter the game with one or zero wins.
 
Jason Sanders is unreliable from any distance
OCs had a good game plan early, they kept the Bills' defense off balance in the first quarter with motions and runs.
We don't have a QB who runs the offense.
If a punt receiving team recovers the ball in endzone, it's a touchback. :cool:

That rule about muffs still be a touchback if recovered in the endzone needs changed

Tua and his receivers have no idea where they are to line up. Gesecki does.

I dont know about that. I want to add another thing we learned:

Our receivers love bunching up in the same zone on the field, or just stealing other receiver's zone from him.

wait i thought we fixed the wr position in the off-season? how could we even decide who to cut?? we have so much talent and depth. i mean albert wilson is out there tearing up camp and that's just like a cherry on top!

Which is really sad.

A guy on another practice squad up to a few weeks ago, and he's a known player so not not hidden gem rook, is the best offensive lineman on the team.

This team has no clue how to draft/develop offensive linemen.
 
Also we can't score a TD in the red zone to save our lives!

No possession of the football was established so it can't be a safety. It is however a live ball at that point and had Miami recovered it would have been a touchdown.

I think the offense should get the ball where it was muffed. In this case at about the five.
