According to the stats late in the 4th Quarter:

MIA
BUF
First Downs1913
Total Yards230317
Passing Yards150202
Rushing Yards80115
Penalties (Yds)3(20)6(40)
Turnovers10
Punts (AVG)6(26)4(32)
Time of Pos.29:3328:29

These stats are not overwhelmingly bad for Miami!

SO WTF HAPPENED?

1. Giving up at the end of the 1st Half
2. Tannehill!?!?!
3. Moreno injured on his 1st play with the ball.
4. Defense gives up in the 2nd half
5. Special Teams (Buffalo +1 - Miami - Super Minus)
6. Coaching?!?!
7. TANNEHILL?!?!?!

My hopes are dashed for this team!
 
Emotion was the difference maker. Bills played with the same emotion as the phins played last week at home against the patriots. Same result.
 
They have our number. Beat us twice last year with a back up at quarterback.
 
Huge Tannehill supporter here. The guy has looked bad starting out games. Really out of rhythm and slow tempo. Doesn't help that his receivers dropped some passes, but that's no excuse for his inaccuracy. Bad ball placement on routes for the most part. Doesn't have command of this offense and doesn't bring the best out in the rest of the players. That's a big flaw in a QB. If he doesn't show me much much more than he is right now then sadly we might have to move on.

If there is one thing I know about Tannehill though, he is very inconsistent, so next week he might have a good showing. Not holding my breath though.
 
Not even close......
1. Tanny still has plenty to prove and by no means was today excusable, but i think Buffalo especially @ Buffalo just seems to have his number.
2. The Moreno injury was strange to say the least, why was he trying to break his fall with arm to begin with? Id have to believe someone like Moreno who has been playing football and taken to the ground for years would of known better.
 
The fact that Moreno went out didn't help but the biggest thing was the passing game from all aspects.

The O-Line was having trouble keeping pressure off of Tannehill. He was sacked four times and was under big time pressure many other times.

Tannehill was not very accurate today. Even many of the passes that were caught were not as accurate as they could be which cost the team YAC yards.

Drops! When he did throw a good ball, they couldn't catch them. There was a little short pass to Miller had it been caught, he could have run for days. Hartline dropped a perfect long pass near the end of the game although at that point, it was too late. There were several others that should have been caught.

The defense played pretty well considering.
 
Season isn't over but it all depends on what your expectations were anyway. I had Miami going 0-2 to start and winning vs. KC and "at" Oakland. If they can get to 3-1 at the bye things wob't be so bad. Already though there are still issues with this team that even a guy like Lazor can't solve.
 
chiefs at home than raiders in london before the bye.

still got a chance at 3-1, but if tannehill plays like he did today, 1-3 is more likely
 
This was a bad match-up for us. Their line dominated ours. The weaknesses of the OL were disguised by a very passive defensive effort by the Pats.

Lazor made some good adjustments in the second half, but we can't have guys returning the ball 102 yards. We were starting to take momentum until then...
 
Not so much 1-1, but the QB playing like garbage. This team needed Tannehill to step up his game if they were going to go anywhere. Tannehill has been awful and despite what some want to believe, he appears to have taken a step backwards from last season.
 
I got my hopes up after the Dolphins beat New England the way they did, but I now believe they are the exact same team they were last year and the year before, no better no worse.
 
Not only is it the end of the season, it may be the end of the world, if you go by the posts on this forum. We lose too a good Bills team in Buffalo today and the majority of you give up on the team for the season.
