This is clearly not the same old Dolphins.

Playing on back-to-back-to-back away games coming from the West Coast to the East Coast (**** you NFL) in a primetime hostile environment on a Saturday would normally mean the Dolphins **** the bed, we get destroyed, and the world laughs at us. That did not happen. If anything, we showed the league how you beat this supposed daunting Bills team.. Run the damn ball.


-I liked the Mostert signing but I imagined he'd be a part-time player and would eventually end up on IR but my goodness, he is really, really good. And Wilson, when he returns, is good as well. We have a nice 1-2 punch which is going to be super important when we make the playoffs.

-McD needs to stop falling in love with the pass. He'll get better and he has. 49ers game I think we ran the ball like 8 times total.

-Chubb is absolutely terrible. I watched him on every snap and he just absolutely sucks.
-Conversely, JP is slowly becoming my favorite active Dolphins player (still has some work to do but his motor is relentless)

-Our DBs are a hodge podge of absolute garbage. X is our best player and he's clearly taken a step back. Thank goodness Kohou has been a revelation. There were times in the game where we lined up with Iggy, Bethel, Crossen, Fejedelem, and McKinley. I'm going to repeat and bold that for the people in the back lol

-I kept telling my brother who was watching the game with me, "See that player, he's an undrafted rookie, that one too"

-There were times in the game where we lined up with Iggy, Bethel, Crossen, Fejedelem, and McKinley!!! You CANNOT win with that lineup.
-BYRON JONES, WE NEED YOU NOW.

-I was beyond worried that Tua just lost his superpower but he quelled my mind a bit. He played well enough to win. He still scares me anytime he gets sacked (fumbled on one sack ugh)
-Why are we throwing bombs to Braylon Sanders???

-Refs were garbage. T White got away with murder out there.

-Josh Allen is really, really good. He's like if Ben Roethlisberger took steroids and speed

-Get in the playoffs, match up with the Titans, beat them, play @Buffalo in round 2 beat them, and then play the Chiefs and pray to any and every god

I said elsewhere, with the injuries and mistakes, Miami lost mostly due to Mcd/Boyer. Think about that.

I think that play was specifically designed for Sanders, to catch them off guard not throwing to hill or waddle. MM likes to play that chess game, like how he ran away from running the ball when it was working.
 
Were not a championship team unless we get hot at the right time like the Bengals last year, the 2012 Ravens, or those two Giant Super Bowls.

The silver lining is the possibility the game last night did a lot for our long term confidence to go into any environment and win.
 
3rd and 1, 3rd and 2, 3rd and 3…..

Three passing plays, two incompletions and one sack on those three plus yesterday.

3rd and long isn’t scary for this team. 3rd and 2 is terrifying.

Also, Robert Hunt won’t be seeing a contract extension from me. He’s ok but not someone I’m worried about long term. I’ll take a 6th round pick and avoid a 8-9M salary on him, two years from now.

Robert Hunt had a Bills helmet on for quite awhile last night. Either that or his balancing skills were super bad
 
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
 
Agreed that this is not the same old Dolphins. This team played well in a tough spot. They got beat by a good opponent, barely. This is the NFL. That happens. But the team showed up and the team played well. It's not about it being a moral victory either. It's about the recognition that if you show up and play well in tough spots consistently success will come.

I was happy with how Mostert played. I thought his vision had been questionable all season. It wasn't to the level I recalled seeing in SF. It was mentioned in the telecast that Mostert felt the same. I'm not sure what he figured out, but he was much better. I don't think many here realize how good Mostert can be. He's the type of back that can get hot and you can ride through a playoff run all the way to a championship. That's not a guarantee or anything, but the potential is there.

I think the complaints about not running enough in this game are a bit naive (Against SF and LAC, they were warranted). Reality is that the Bill's defense adjusted and the numbers indicated pass on most of those.

I was also disappointed with Chubb. He didn't have the impact on that game that I hoped.

I was also happy with how Tua played. I think he was let down by his WRs. Sherfield catching that early TD would have changed the game a ton by itself. Or even the pass right before that to Hill. Both of those were perfect passes that should have been TDs.

I've been perplexed at what makes this guy a pass-rusher extraordinaire. His first step sucks and he looks soft....plus he jogs when the play is away from him.

I'm seeing a guy who has been paid and now will mail it in.....hope I'm wrong, but I'm not happy with what I see.

Hopefully it means, Grier gets canned. Terrible trade and an even worse contract. Grier is a sucker.
 
Chubb was definitely not worth a 1st….maybe a 4th. He is trash! Vast majority of our defense is trash including X.

I'm so hoping Chubb just needs proper conditioning........
