Is anyone REALLY surprised?

Beaten in every phase of the game, and looking for new phases to get beaten in.
What was done to OL and run defense is illegal in several states.
Ellerbe and Wheeler: Nice job Jeff....:tantrum:
Sam Brenner: It was nice while it lasted.
I like the one where they say..............But Buffalo has a great DL.
NOPE! Not suprised at all

Actually the Bills defensive line is one of the best in the entire NFL. Perhaps you missed the fact that the Bills lead the NFL in sacks and that was even before the seven sacks they had against the Dolphins today.
The defense of the Bills hasn't been the problem this year. They were just inconsistent on offense and they didn't show up for every game they played, just as the Dolphins didn't show up today. The fact is that if the Bills get good play from the QB position next year, they have a lot of talent on their roster and it wouldn't surprise me if they don't end up being a bigger threat to the Patriots in the AFC East than the Dolphins are next year.
FinsPensFanforum_veteranNot at all
All work and no play makes Mike a dull boy...
slickj101forum_veteranBy the loss not at all. The god-awful play calling, a little bit.

Fameforum_veteranThe sad thing about being a dolphins fan is that you know what's coming. Disappointment is essentially guaranteed.
As soon as Moore hit that huge bomb I turned to my gf and said "now he's going to throw a pick." There's always a let down. Never good enough to win when it matters.

lol I did the exact same. I was praying we'd run it the next play.

KeyFinforum_veteranThat's what happens when you have an OC that puts far too much faith in a mediocre QB. Tannehill was awful, made bad reads all day long, and it only got worse by players like Thomas being on the field and not doing anything.
Buffalo is great against the pass, horrible against the run, and this game is in a monsoon. It's a no-brainer...turn Miller loose between the tackles and let Tannehill get mobile with the read-option. Coaching blew the first point, and Tannehill's repeated hand offs despite the DT crashing down on Thomas sealed the deal.
Winning football games at any level comes down to winning in the trenches.
NyPhinfanforum_veteranVery simply put. We played our worst game in our biggest game of the year.
Yes I'm surprised I thought it was a good idea to spend 16 of my last 24 hours in a car to see an embarrassment like that. Genuinely feel bad for myself and all of dolphins fan nation that supported and believed in this team. They better pray then do their job next week and get some luck and get in. I'm not asking for a superbowl just a step in the right direction.
Sethdaddy8forum_veteranWe are an immature team. We can't handle a big win. And we are bad off bi weeks and long weeks too. That's a sign of bad coaching, and I'm a an of Philbin. But today was a disgrace.
I did not think we would win 10 games. I thought the loss would be against NE to be honest. Getting swept by the Bills is a huge embarrassment. But I thought this would be a dogfight until week 17.
BigDogsHuntNew MemberI am surprised we got swept by BUF....and (3rd string QB).....but the taste could be removed by SWEEPING the Jets. That would make we dismiss the BUF issues with a pffft..worth it attitude.

finwinNew MemberNot sure winning today would have clinched it for us or put us in any better position?

Winning today based on CIN winning would not have clinched anything (as a MIA win would only have clinched if both BAL and CIN lost)...but would have had a far better taste in our mouth getting ready for NYJ.
In week 17 we need BAL to lose once again....just like they are hoping we lose....our insurance is SD winning next week.
FOR ANYONE INTERESTED:
If the Dolphins lose, they cannot make the playoffs. If there’s a four-way tie at 8-8 between Miami, San Diego, Baltimore and the Jets (who, by beating the Dolphins, would be 8-8), Baltimore wins the Wild Card. If there’s a five-way tie between those teams and the Steelers, Pittsburgh would win the final spot in the playoffs.

BigDogsHuntNew MemberReally, what's there to be surprised about, Buffalo tallied its first shutout in over two years - and first at Ralph Wilson Stadium since a 21-0 win over Miami on Dec. 17, 2006.

This. Hoping we are about to turn a corner (next year) but sadly have come to expect nothing less over the years. Doesn't keep me from hoping though.
I'd like to say its because of the New Logo............But we have sucked long and hard for a while now. :sad:
