Miami @ Buffalo - Historically

[phinfann13]

There's kind of a general consensus that the Dolphins don't play well in cold weather. I wanted to take a look at how we've fared in Buffalo during the cold weather months (Nov, Dec and Jan). Below are some passing numbers and points (for and against) from games in Buffalo during those three months so we can know what to expect going into tomorrow's game. I also included the numbers from just our wins and losses to see what we need to do if we expect to win.











So what's the point of all of this? I just want people to have the correct expectations going into this game. Historically, we don't go in there and throw for 300 yards and 4 touchdowns and win games. I'm not trying to create excuses for anybody, I just want to people to know what to expect. Go Fins!

thanks for the effort.

i suppose the majority here did not expect us to go into Buffalo and throw for 300 yards and 4 TDs

I don't think most did. But you'll find a number of people who will complain if we throw for less than 200 yards and win.

Part of the reason that Buffalo drafted Allen is because you need a superhero type arm strength to get through the snow/wind/suck of Buffalo winters.

I guess what i’m saying is, most teams don’t throw for a ton in Buffalo in winter. It’s not just the Dolphins. It’s hard for everyone.

Good read and yes, people here will say Tua sucks if he doesn't top 300 yards and 3 or 4 TD's but the fact is weather is calling for 80% chance of rain. We should be running way more than passing tomorrow and the passes should probably be short for the most part.

Tannehill was absolutely awful in buffalo. His backups didnt have a problem winning there.

Moore was good, Cutler was bad. But yes, Tannehill was terrible.

Oh yeah I don't think it's a Dolphins problem but it's probably more pronounced for us coming from a warm weather city.

Side note: I've only experienced the suck of Buffalo winter once for the NCAA Tournament but I had a great time. (I know that's not technically winter but it was still cold and rainy.)

March is like Summer compared to true winter haha.

Come during a snowstorm :)

More than the weather, which certainly is a factor, Buffalo is on a roll. That is my major concern.

Miami, on the other hand, comes in with a lot of injuries on offense. Not that they can't find a way to win.

To the OP, appreciate all the work.
