Charles Clay drop: How players and coaches saw final Bills play in Dolphins victory

Lieser: Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen is QB Miami Dolphins wish they had

‘They got their first look at Buffalo rookie quarterback Josh Allen, and he kept them guessing all afternoon. He wasn’t always the good kind of unpredictable, but he radiated confidence and potential in a way that’s been unfamiliar to this franchise the last two decades.’

Furious Bills lineman confronts refs, says one called him ‘bitch’

‘“Who was angry? I was angry?” he answered.’

Phillips penalty hurts as Bills lose to Dolphins 21-17

‘When asked to describe the call, Phillips said, “Borderline is very generous. … I hit someone’s foot, and that’s an unsportsmanlike conduct? OK.”‘

Dolphins can’t catch Allen but overtake Bills, 21-17

‘”He’s a big guy who can run,” Miami coach Adam Gase said. “His ability to move around causes problems.”‘

Bills DE Lawson fined over $33K for fighting

‘Players began shoving each other after Jacksonville wide receiver Donte Moncrief reeled in what was initially ruled a 30-yard touchdown reception. The 6-foot-3, 267-pound Lawson went after Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde, prompting Fournette to run across the field and intervene.’

Jerry Hughes denies video that shows Bills DE confronting ref

‘The video shows Hughes yelling at an unidentified official in the tunnel, accusing the official of calling him a “b—-.” Hughes is then restrained by a team staff member and a teammate as he continues to shout at the official, “I’ll catch you.”‘

The Bills fall one play short, fall to Miami 21-17

‘Miami’s offense didn’t get many yards throughout the afternoon, but hit the Bills where it mattered most with 3 touchdown passes from Ryan Tannehill. Tannehill was 16-of-24 for 137 yards, 3 touchdowns and 1 interception. Buffalo limited the Dolphins to only 60 yards rushing, with Kenyan Drake leading the way with 31 yards. DeVante Parker led Miami wideouts with 4 catches for 43 yards and 1 touchdown.’

So close!!!

‘I really felt bad for Allen who gave it everything he had in this game but came up painfully short. He will go to bed not only thinking of that final pass to Clay but I’m sure he will want the throw behind Jones in the end zone and the over throw of Foster on that bomb back.’

Sal’s Sticks: Bills at Dolphins

‘Far too often this has been an issue and written on this side of the Sticks this season. No doubt there were several calls that were questionable, to say the least (see below). But even with that said, 13 penalties for 120 yards is just unacceptable and several of those were critical blows to either the offense or defense.’

Joe B: 7 observations from Buffalo Bills – Miami Dolphins (12/2/18)

‘However, Phillips took it over the top. While yes, he felt scorned by the team that drafted him for giving up on him, that’s also a standard practice throughout the league for reserve players and Phillips couldn’t help himself. Right from the start of the game, anytime he would be involved with a play, he would march a few steps over toward the Miami sideline, staring at all of them and gave a prolonged clap. This act continued through the game, so you would think that the referees were already on alert.’

Bills comeback effort falls short in Miami

‘Penalties also hurt the Bills as they were flagged 13 times for 120 yards.’

Allen, Clay react to final play vs. Dolphins

‘”I didn’t know if it was catchable or not,” added running back LeSean McCoy. “First of all, the game wasn’t just that. There were other plays that we should have made together that we didn’t make. So we don’t blame Charles for that, or Josh. If they made a great play we’d all be going back to celebrate in Buffalo. that’s not his fault or Josh’s fault.”‘
