Ok, the Bills picked the ball off with under two minutes left and the game in hand at 24-14. You could tell the defense was gassed and all but gave up, why use your last two timeouts? Let the Bills just run out the clock and lose 24-14. Instead they use their timeouts when there was NO CHANCE to come back and let the Bills add 7 more points to make the game a blowout. Pathetic and embarrassing game by the Dolphins today. I can't believe we lost to the Bills of all teams.

Season = Over
 
Why? Because you don't show your opponents you gave up. Just because chances were slim, the possibility for a fumble or anything still exists. You never say die unless you are out of options period. I have seen stranger things happen in football.

The game was over, even myself, a very optimist person, knew there was NO CHANCE of a miracle. They handed the Bills a blowout victory.

What made me angry was when we got the ball back when it was 31-14 and instead of trying to score we just ran it a couple times and then threw the final interception..

They should have been throwin downfield that entire drive, I was pretty disappointed when they started off with two runs..
 
When you're down by 10 in a must-win game, why wouldn't you do everything you possibly could to win??

Carolina was in the same situation against us 10 days ago. They kicked the FG, got down 7, got the ball back even though they didn't recover the onside, and were one batted ball from tying the game on the last play.

Why wouldn't you give yourself the same chance? I know what you're saying nubs and I'm peeved this turned into a blowout, but you have to try for the miracle.

Exactly, if you are calling timeouts like that at the end when the game is clearly over, you don't run the ball when you get the ball back.

1:37 left, Buffalo has the ball at the Dolphins 26 yard line up 24-14. Miami has just two timeouts left. Come on now, the game was OVER at that point. Jackson runs for 8 yards on 1st down to the Miami 18. They call a timeout. OK, maybe I can give them that one.

However, on the next play Jackson runs 11 yards for a FIRST DOWN at the Dolphins 7 yard line. They call another timeout to set up Jackson's 7 yard touchdown run. Why call that last timeout with 1:25 left, no other timeouts, the Bills have a 1st and goal at the 7 up by ten points? If you don't call those timeouts, the Bills likely just take a knee. Miami's defense was GASSED and the coaching staff handed the Bills offense another touchdown on a silver plate.

I know, but isn't that the right coaching move? Every snap they run is a chance for a turnover. Sparano doesn't care how much the Phins lose by...a loss is a loss. But as long as he can do something to give the team a chance in hell he will and should do it.
 
WHY? Because the OVER/UNDER was 40 ...THATS WHY.

even the NFL is corrupt. from the coaches, to the refs, to the ownership.
