I just learned today that the Hotel in Buffalo where the Dolphins were staying at for the Bills game ran a bogus fire alarm at 3 am asking people to evacuate. This obviously woke the players up and I am sure most of them were not able to go back to sleep for hours after that. I am not trying to make excuses for that performance on Sunday, but I am sure some of the players had to be affected. I think this was done on purpose and heads need to roll over it. Once again, we have individuals making bad decisions that affect the integrity of the game and it should not be allowed. Bobby Beathard pulled the same stunt in that 1994 Divisional Playoff game when the Dolphins had a 21-6 lead on San Diego. he had someone knock out the lights in the Miami locker room making the Dolphins unable to make any adjustment they may have wanted during halftime. The Phins went on to lose that game. We all know about Bill Belacheat's exploits. I am sure the Buffalo Bills organization will deny any involvement. But the NFL needs to find out why there was an alarm in the first place and if they are not satisfied with the answer, the Bills organization should lose a 1st round pick. This garbage should neither go unpunished nor tolerated.
The NFL Needs To Investigate This.

They should investigate why this team sucks every year.
It could deter anyone in the future from trying a stunt like that. I am sure the hotel has cameras to find out who the culprit was and question him or her why they felt the need to take such actions.

I think you are making a lot more out of it than it is.

This. Theres not a lot the league can do about this. More then likely another customer there caught sight of the team walking in and decided to mess with them.
This isnt new. In fact, i recall stories like this popping up almost yearly. Lawrence Taylor used to put this sort of stuff to shame. He'd send prostitutes to opposing quarterbacks the night before the game, call them up individually at all hours, whatever it took to get an advantage.
GoonBoss, let me appeal to you personally. Have you ever been in a deep sleep and was awaken suddenly? And if you were, how soon were you able to go back to sleep if at all? People are different. There are some people that if startled out of their sleep are not able to go back to sleep. This is one of the reasons why sports teams in High School, College and the Pros have curfews. They want to make sure the players get ENOUGH REST. It helps you both physically and mentally and I am sure you know that. Never underestimate the value of a good nights rest.

pretty sure curfews are set for 90%, so players don't get in trouble.
I remember him saying that. But that maybe a couple of individuals who are dumb enough to fall for it. This action here affects the entire team (including the coaches).
Dolphins 7273 it was supposed to be a thumbs up, celebrating Xmas a little too much. Sorry and funny azz reply. Can I change or delete thumbs down?
I think this could've had a great deal to do with the performance on Sunday. There should be tighter security measures, or NFL teams should stay only in hotels where those kinds of security measures are available.

Then I have done my good Christmas deed as I gave him a TU for you. Now do yours and drink another for me.
Not 90%. Ask any athlete regardless of the sport. When I played in High School and College, the coaches wanted us to get the right amount of rest. That was the priority. Staying out of trouble was next on the list. Do you think the College Tennis Team has to worry about getting in trouble?
