Do you think that our players took it easy....

during the bye week instead of dedicating themselves to prepare for the Bills. I know that it's hard to win on the road especially vs. a rival but the product that we put out there yesterday looked like a team that wasn't sharp and that didn't properly prepare for this game. If this team would have come out with the same intensity that we came out with vs. the Panthers and the Broncos, this game would have been a blowout!

I don't know what they did, but it wasn't enough.

I can't stand Randy Cross but he had a great line yesterday. He said with the Dolphins playing the way they were, you'd lose on a bye week! Classic and true!

This is all new to everyone on this team. They have never played a game in Buffalo with these circumstances. It is only human nature to have some apprehension when in a situation like that. This is why Saban fights so hard to try and convince his players you just have to beat the guy in front of you. I wish it was only that simple for a newly formed team to get over that kind of situation.

I respectfully disagreee. This isn't new to all the veterans that have been on this team for years. The Madison's, Thomas's, Seau's, Taylor's, etc. have been to Buffalo and know what it's all about. The veterans seemed to have a harder time composing themselves more so than the rookies.

Bottom line: This is a veteran team making some of the dumbest penalties you can possibly commit. There is no excuse for yesterday's performance.
