    Division road wins are always good.

    Henne is troubling me though

    Henning ugh same as last year. Henne played decent but looked timid by not trying to make a mistake. Receivers dropped balls. Defense except for one drive played brilliantly, but needs to capitalize on the opportunities they had. Game management was questionable again.

    Not really a fun game to watch. The win is like pain going away, what a relief. Defense looked great, offense needs a lot of work. Coulda had two pick sixes today which would have really mad this game a lot more fun. Thank God for this win!

    Stop whining. We start the season with a division win on the road and people are complaining. Yes, there are things to correct but everyone played pretty well.

    Great way to start the season! Go Dolphins!

    Lots of room to improve....but all in all....happy.

    1) Cant miss FGs
    2) Henne has to run down the clock prior to snap, and no TO when kicking end of half FG try...let it run down
    3) D cant have the 4th down TD brain cramp

    all in all...happy with road AFCE win....happy with aggressive D, happy with tackling and lots of open field tacking....and gang tackling

    and happy with some of things I saw with O side play calling...not all...but more than enough

    Calvin Johnson just made a ridiculous catch against the bears with seconds left for a TD, but theyre going to overrule it apparently.

    He makes the catch, gets two feet in, his body lands, ball touches the ground then he looses posession, they are apparently going to overrule it because of a stupid rule about the process of a catch. At least according to Fox. Thats a shame.

    We'll disagree on that. I think Henne was the reason why this game was so close to begin with.

    The kid really needs to get his act together because this kind of performance will not win at Minnesota.

    :lol:

    By all means this is a great win.

    In fact my only complaint is Henne's play man because other than that I thought we did really good and its given me some renewed faith. :up:

    Henne just needs to tighten it up because right now he still looks off to me.

    To all the people unhappy with this win, we played a Buffalo team that was opening at home, against a division rival, and has a pretty darn good secondary/pass defense.

    Our defense kept a stable of VERY talented running backs to exactly 50 yards combined.

    The only time this team looked bad was against that no huddle offense, and when Clemons botched the coverage on that TD (same drive).

    The only part that I'd say was a bit upsetting was our pass play in the 2nd half. Prior to that, we were dominating a good pass defense.

    I disagree...completely. Your not taking into account a very good pass defense when you make that statement. Guys werent open...not Ints....

    Of course its a great win.....minimized mistakes.....limited penalities...no turnovers....

    missed FG, dropped two INTs for pick six.....and had 6 offensive drops.....all that adds up to room for improvement....but nothing to HATE on.

    I have to appreciate these wins, because in the past decade, they lose this game 9 times out of 10.

    Of course I am. I forgot the all-world pass defense the Bills have.

    I am also taking into account that he had all day to throw since it was obivous from the beginning our OLine came to play today.

    Hey, its OK.

    We've got 15 more games to go.

    If you think this performance was great more power to you.

    Oh give me a break, Henne was fine. There were dropped passes and he didn't make any mistakes. The Bills have a good secondary too.

    Youre right. Theres no way thats not a TD catch. What a joke. He had complete posession, in the endzone, two feet down, plus his entire left side in bounds. Just ridiculous.

    I'm not going to bother to read the rest of this thread because I know there are about 100 "Henning Sucks" posts and another hundred "Henne Sucks" posts and finally a sprinkling of "the sky is falling, we're going to be 4-12".


    We won.

    The offense looked a little out of sync but this is also the first time we've really had a chance to stretch out and see how they work together in a full game that mattered. There were some spots where I could see there are good things to come.

    The defense looked pretty solid I thought the rookies looked great, DB's did a lot better than most expected. Aside of the mis-step on the 4th and 11 and two pick 6's that were dropped they put a smile on my face almost the whole game.

    Bottom line, we're 1-0, it may not have been pretty but give me an ugly win over a stat plumped loss any day of the week.

    Clemons was IMHO the biggest help. He made a couple of great tackles.

    He defnitely stepped up his play today from the pre-season.

    Great day for him.

    Hopefully he can continue to improve against the Vikings as we will need another repeat performance from him.

    Bell was the anti-run man he always is...MISI...wow the kid really steped up as well.

    Just great day from the entire defnse which one play (Culver mistake) cant ruin it. Great day.

    Ricky and Ronnie...awesome. OLine, wow. They really came to play today.

    Fasano showed up! Thats what he needs to do every game. Show up and not get swallowed up by the D.

    How about Jason Allen comming to play as well? The dude totally blew me away at how he was ready to go today. He needs to be consistant and keep it up.

    Just a great day by everyone. HOWEVER, the one negative that stood out to me was that Henne seemed to still be playing the way he did in pre-season. I just didnt see anything to show me that the guy stepped his game up. I really hope that Henne can go up to Minnesota and play better because the Vikings offense is not the Bills offense and we will need much better QB play to get this offense in the end zone at LEAST 2 times.

    I said Henning, not Henne. You know, that old guy that likes to outsmart himself when we are ramming the ball down their throat to close the game off.
    The old guy that gave them one more chance to win it. Maybe he was just as impressed with Nolan's defense as the rest of us and wanted to see it one more time. :confused2:
    Fighting tooth and nail against a team most are predicting will go 2-14 isn't something I'm going to get excited about.
    Sometimes I question if people even read posts before responding to them.

    Nice road win vs a division rival to start the season, aye boys???

    Yes, we left 21 points off the board(2 pick 6s and the bomb to marshall)

    we didnt play well enough to beat a decent team. we need to play better, and hopefully we will. its just nice to be 1-0 for the first time in years!

    Well, we'll agree to disagree.

    Maybe its the WR in me comming out but I dont see what a lot of you are seeing.

    I think CP could've done everything Henne did today and more.

    I think Henne needs to develop more because the arm is there but I just dont see that mental toughness that a CP has. We'll see. He is still raw. Needs more time to 'cook'. Thats all I could think of when I say his play today.

    The drop pick 6's really did suck...but they'll be going to Minny next week and they'll definitely get those opportunities again against Favre.

    I have a lot to complain about, but I'm not going to complain about much at all because at the end of the day.... we're 1-0.

    I'll take it and assume that my legit complaints will be complaints of the coaching staff as well, and they'll be worked on heading into Minnesota next week.

    benny sapp played well, save for that 4th and 11. misi and wake...a lot of guys really shocked the hell out of me. our safeties were amazing. dansby is so good, so fast.

    and ohhh, that would have been such sweet redemption for jason allen...the tough road he travelled. i wanted that pick 6 for him.

    sean smith must really be in the dog house, i hardly saw him out there.
