Dolphins play best game of season – Fall to Bills 31-21

QB Ryan Fitzpatrick played his best game of the season for the Dolphins. It wasn’t enough however due partly to his own huge mistake, a terrible INT at a point of the game where the Dolphins had the ball for about 10 minutes on a long drive to start the 3rd QTR and Fitzpatrick threw a crucial interception at the BUF 12 yard line. The Dolphins had an opportunity at a minimum to go up 17-9 with a FG, but the Dolphins wanted the TD, much like the decision to try for the 2 PT conversion last week. Good idea, poor execution.

It’s clear that Mark Walton has now emerged as the lead back as Kenyan Drake is expected to be traded before the deadline. That would leave the Dolphins with Walton, Ballage, Gaskin, Laird and Cox. I wouldn’t expect a big return for Drake, probably a 5th or 6th at best. DeVante Parker had a nice game, one of his best contributions in some time, and it wasn’t even really that good. Parker finished with 5 catches for 55 yards and 1 TD. Gesicki is really heating up making tough catches almost routinely now. Gesicki added 4 catches for 41 yards, a couple of them in serious traffic with a high degree of difficulty. Also very encouraging is WR Preston Williams who continues to grow before our eyes. Is he not doing what we hoped DeVante Parker could be? Williams finished with 6 catches for 82 yards leading the team in both categories.

The Dolphins won the T.O.P. battle in this game but still ended up on the short side on the scoreboard. As per usghe, we need to score more TD’s. We have had a devil of a time getting into the end zone, which is odd considering we have a fairly strong runner in Walton, 2 WR with good size (P. Williams 6’5″ and D. Parker 6’3″) and a TE with a huge catch radius and great vertical capabilities in Mike Gesicki. Hopefully we will figure out a way to use all of them.

The Dolphins managed to get 2 sacks yesterday and to no one’s surprise, it was newcomers, LB Vince Biegel got his 2nd and Taco Charlton added his team leading 3rd sack. Once again, Charles Harris remains sackless and once again you can read that as you like. It’s amazing we don’t get torched with the guys we have been playing in our secondary. Ken Webster, Ryan Lewis, Jomal Wiltz. Bobby McCain and Eric Rowe started at S yesterday. I mean who are some of these guys?

It’s impossible not to respect for Brian Flores. He’s doing this with smoke and mirrors. I know we haven’t won yet but it’s hard to expect him to win with the roster we’re throwing out there week after week. The Bills are a legit contender in the AFC for at a minimum a WC berth, but their defense is one of the better units in the NFL and we handled them in this game. The score doesn’t show it but the T.O.P. does. If not for that ill timed INT late in the 3rd QTR we had a shot to win this game. I think that was the turning point right there. Last week we took the game to the very end although we played so poorly in that game. This week we played head to head with the Bills but came up short. We’re heading in the right direction, and have to take comfort in that. At 0-6, it’s all we got.

GO DOLPHINS!!

    Minkah!! Make that difference!! Steelers going all the way with you!

  20. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    I like the NE O, quick passing game, but using big possession receivers.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      They’re all still learning but I like what O’Shea is doing and how the team plays hard. They’re not playing to lose.

    NICE!!! I’ve been saying “wooooooo!” here for years, and thought maybe y’all thought I was strange! 😀

  24. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    M – Never hated Fitzpatrick, on the other hand, if I had the choice between Rosen and Fitz it would be Rosen. They bailed on Rosen pretty quickly. Since we’re all about the future it makes more sense to see if Rosen is part of it or not. In any case, I’m freaking enjoying this game!

  25. mf13ss's avatar mf13ss says:

    “Atomic Dog” on the commercial!!!

  26. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    At slatterys watching the game with booker

    We both keep trying to guess who is on the field
    Serious…who are these guys?

  27. ElephantRider's avatar ElephantRider says:

    Pre game Steve Young went off on us saying what the organization is doing is putting players at risk. Hes a typical idiot. I bet he hasn’t watched more than 2 minutes of our team. Just sees the line up and says “who?”.

  28. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    X almost picked that one too

  29. ElephantRider's avatar ElephantRider says:

    M

    Fitz has started games looking awful and he stays that way. His first pass tonight had me worried. LOL

  30. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    #52 is good against the run brutha

  31. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    Nice work by our Taco Baker

  32. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Jenkins is making up for that bust Wilkins the DL
    😜

  33. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    It takes some time but Flores and Co. has this team playing with purpose.

  34. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    You all can forget about that time I said we had no other punt returner besides GrAntman right? I was probably drunk or something. 😉

  35. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    If we win, we make our own pick worse but the one we got from the Steelers better, so there’s that!

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      Playing for draft picks is such a shitty way to look at this game. The work everyone puts in. It’s a media and fan driven idea, not the people coaching and playing.

  36. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    don’t see much of #39

  37. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    TOOOOOOMBSTONE

    Who is Ryan Lewis ? Nice tackle!!

  42. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    Biegel is a DAWG !!!!!

  43. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    They are embarrassed to be losing to the worst team in the league booooooo

  44. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    Our team is a lot better at one on one open field tackling than they have been in the past few years

  45. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    Getting some decent pressure on qb as well me likey 👍

    We’re progressing and playing a competitive football game. Let’s just all enjoy it! 🙂

  49. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    We need a drive right now

  50. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    Can we decline the 2nd half ?? 🤔

  51. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    I kind of agree with Booger. I wouldn’t mind Chase Young

  52. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    We have looked better each week. This week we look like the better team, but keep in mind the 2nd half has been treacherous for us all season long. Flores needs to learn to adjust

  53. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    Damn Minka

  54. ElephantRider's avatar ElephantRider says:

    Lmao

  55. herdfan's avatar herdfan says:

    That was unfortunate

  56. mf13ss's avatar mf13ss says:

    Fitz-to-Fitz

  57. New Age's avatar New Age says:

    We have zero pass rush. It’s painful to watch.

  58. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    I think Piggy will agree we need less ham

  59. ElephantRider's avatar ElephantRider says:

    Held his arm and turned him. Didn’t push off dumb announcers

  60. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    two hands grabbing the arm and pulling down isn’t interference? If he didn’t do it X would have had another. He has had 1 pick and 3 other almost picks.

  61. New Age's avatar New Age says:

    The refs are almost ruining the game. It’s really close. No one knows what PI is anymore(and that was obvious PI)

  62. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    Wtf was that 🤯

  63. ElephantRider's avatar ElephantRider says:

    WTF was that?!

    LMAO

  64. New Age's avatar New Age says:

    I’m not too sure about our DC.

  65. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    Neeham is a player we obviously see some upside in. Yes he gets burned but he’s also physical. Guys get better.

  66. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    And we called timeout to set that up

  67. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    Howard? WTF

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      That was on the blitz not Howard. Graham got a little too blitz happy.

      Now we have to play well in the 2nd half. It’s a learning process. We’re on the road and up by 4. It’s okay. LOL

  68. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    Bad call on defense there. Learn from it.

  69. Randy's avatar Randy says:

    Clearly offensive PI. Come on. I hate this league. They’ve dicked with the rules so much to promote offense/scoring nobody knows what’s what anymore.

  70. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Hamless

  71. New Age's avatar New Age says:

    That might be the worst defensive play call of the entire year…for any team in the NFL.

    • The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

      I don’t mind
      If we were in the afc championship I would be furious
      But they went for the kill with that all our blitz
      It could have went the other way

      • New Age's avatar New Age says:

        But what’s the value? We are up 11 points and riding high. Now we are just up 4 going into the second half …where we have struggled more than anyone.

      • The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

        If needham or Lewis (I think that’s their names) make the tackle they should have made, it’s probably not as bad a result

        We are just playing to let it all hang out

        It’s not strategical sound sometimes

  72. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    Here comes the true test.. can we play a second half ??

  73. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    I know we stripped the ball on one play, but with all the blitzing we’re doing it’s crazy that we don’t even have a sack.

  74. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    It’s a funny thing. We scrutinize the game as in winning the game. Then at the same time worry about draft status. Fuckin’ pick one!!! LOL

  75. bookman11's avatar bookman11 says:

    I know the names of more people in Slatterys than I know in the Dolphins secondary.

    Piggy is an excellent host!

  76. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Tim – I’m not worried about draft status. I was just making a statement that even if we win it’s not bad for our draft stats. Chillax man.

  77. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    That bust Wilkins has 2 tackles

    • New Age's avatar New Age says:

      IMPOSSIBLE. Devin Bush has only two tackles and he has been better than Wilkins for ages………..or so I’ve heard.

  78. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Oh shit, you guys are at Slattery’s? We’ll lose 34 -14. LOL

  79. Dloxahatchee's avatar dloxahatchee says:

    This guy has these guys playing this tough
    Won’t take but a great offseason or two
    This team could be special
    Going to be a fun ride !

  82. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    When I said 3-2
    I meant tackles
    Wilkins 3
    Bush 2

  83. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    you see that egregious holding!!?

  84. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    I think Ross called that blitz that allowed the TD. 😉

  85. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    Wiltz got beat off LOS and battled back to make the play.

  86. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Should have had Bush kick that

  87. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:
