“Just not consistent enough,” Tannehill said. “I think you look at the way we started those bad games, we didn’t start well. You get off to a slow start and that makes you’re first half a little slower.”

Tannehill continued: “I think before we got a first down [at Detroit], it was 10-0. As an offense that’s unacceptable. We have to be able to move the ball and score points. Our defense is playing well right now, not giving up many points, but we have to score and we have to score consistently throughout the game.”

Should the see-saw continue, Tannehill is due for another big game Thursday.

Tannehill, now 20-21 as an NFL starting quarterback, told reporters Tuesday that he takes his struggles against the Bills personally.

“I hate losing,” Tannehill said. “I don’t play to come out and play close games and lose. You play to win. We haven’t played good football, I haven’t played my best football against them. It’s a big game for us to step up and do that, a night game on national TV. It’s a big opportunity for us.”

Too late. The genie is out of the bottle. Tannehill said that though McKelvin’s prediction isn’t exactly bulletin-board material, the team is aware of what he said.

Added receiver Mike Wallace: “We don’t have no time for that. We’ll be there on Thursday night. We’re not worried about that. That’s lightweight.”

Asked about Buffalo’s defensive backfield, Wallace said they were “all right.” That secondary has largely kept him in check since he joined the Dolphins in 2013; he has caught just 14 passes for 170 yards and a touchdown in three meetings – all Miami losses.

What will matter, more than anything, is how Tannehill plays. The Dolphins are 15-1 in games in which Tannehill’s passer rating is above 90. They have lost 20 of 25 when it’s under that mark.

Then there’s a question of his health. Tannehill acknowledged that he’s “a little sore” after being held out of some of Tuesday’s practice due to injuries to his right shoulder and ankle. He’s expected to play Thursday against the Bills. And if recent history is a guide, he’s due to play well.

“It’s a big game; I think we’re going to have to execute,” Tannehill said. “We’re going to have to complete a lot of balls, take advantage of the shots downfield when we get them.”

If we want to beat the Bills? It is time for Tannehill to hit the Deep Ball to Wallace, Twice. Mark it, it's happening...
 
Bills are his Kryptonite. He's gonna have to be better than Superman to overcome that d-line and this monkey over his shoulder. And hey it's only the season and possibly Philbins job on the line. No pressure.

Its freaking time to kick the Bills teeth in and I believe we will do it. I'm assuming CJ Spiller is still out!
 
they have to attack the LB's with passes to RB's in the flat, get Spikes to cover, LaMichael James is someone i'm anxious to see in this game, also CB Gilmore of the bills is having a tough season, i would try to get him on wallace as often as possible
 
Tannehill playing well is obviously important. Lazor scheming WRs open and scheming pass pro will be the key though. Short on OL against a good D will require putting them on their heels.
 
And to think we never lost to the bills in the entire 70s. How times have changed. It is time for us to win one against them.

Unfortunately, that is a weakness in his game. There's no denying it. I think Lazor has done a good job working with his strengths & minimizing his deficiencies. At this time, the Fins offense (& the fans) are all suffering from "Deep Ball Frustration".
