NFL Week #3 - Bills at the Dolphins - Post game thread

[RichRiderBills]

This game felt "sculpted" by the refs. 

 

BTW, ugh on Milano dropped INT . We win if he catches that.

i think he was trying, but there was no chance for him to make it with the defenders there.

And legs giving out from under him

Injuries or not, this should be a reality check for the team - better to come early.  If anyone was a little too caught up in the headlines and media fawning this should fix that.  Use it as fuel

[Roundybout]

On a positive note...James Cook looked much more comfortable out there.

I'm not even that mad about losing. Miama feels like the 2011 bills to me. Hot start, but will come back to earth soon. Bills gotta get healthy 

Considering we were missing 5 starters on defense, a starting center...then the rest of the oline goes down to heat exhaustion or injury...and we onlly lose by two...I'm not mad either.

These are the bull#### losses that cost you the 1 seed. Then when the season is over you look back and think WHzy THE ***** are you in shotgun on 2nd and goal from the ***** 1!!

This just feels like the first Pats game last year except opposite weather.  Too much heat to overcome plus injuries.  Hopefully we get Oliver, Phillips, Dane, Poyer and Morse back soon... Oh and Tre White.

 

Felt like the Fitz game against the Patriots where Brady threw 5 INTs and it STILL took the Bills a last second FG  to win it.

It happens...KC had a similar games against Indy today.

 

People need to stop freaking out and just see it for what it is...

 

We played with a ridiculous number of guys out, kept losing players all game, didn't play our best and it still took Miami everything they had to win,

 

That likely never happens again.

 

This was Miami's Fitzpatrick game against the Pats 

I'm not freaking out. Just pissed that we lost.

Rewatch it. He could have gotten there if he runs straight out. 

Would he have been in range for bass?

 

I remember him needing a few more yards from when he caught it

 

(I don't have the ability to rewatch until highlights are out)

[PastaJoe]

At least the Sabres won their preseason game in OT. 😜

[Jerry Jabber]

Fire Beane, fire McDermott, Fire everybody!!! (Just kidding!!)

 

Between half the team being hurt, bad play calls on both sides of the ball, the hot/humid Miami environment, plus so many missed opportunities, it was too much to overcome. As long as we have a somewhat healthy team in the next matchup, the Bills will destroy the Dolphins.

What are you talking about? Did you watch the game? The team played its heart out. They were exhausted due to 100 degree weather and playing on a short week.

FYI, Chiefs lost to the Colts.  Everyone has bad losses.  Theirs is probably worse.

[njbuff]

The Bills outgained the Dolphins 497-212.

 

What??????

Yep 

[Cheektowaga Chad]

I think missing Morse was the biggest loss today, dolphins were killing the line today 

[What a Tuel]

I just cant wait until the fish come here again. Itll be like the patriots last year. We are going to torch them.

With all the people we had out, not to mention being much more used to the heat, they should have won running away with it.

They should have but honestly aren’t that good of a team. Even their coaching, this newfangled genius stuff, they didn’t impress me at all. They’ll get the W and whoop it up like a bunch of dingbats in the short term and may even hold the lead in the AFC East for a few weeks owing to scheduling, but between the short week, injuries, weather, refs, concussion protocol doctors and self-sabotage from the Ravens and Bills they have a better shot at Powerball than everything lining up this perfectly again. Enjoy it while it last; it won’t last long.

I'm not even pissed. They should have lost by a lot with all the issues. This team is amazingly deep and talented to almost overcome all of that.
