I think we lost because of Special Teams. Everytime we get momentum, they blow it. I knew Starting a rookie in the return game was a coaching mistake. Philbin made Several mistakes today and he didn't help put the best team on the field. I don't know if they would have won without the blocked punt and the Return for a TD, but I think the D would have kept them in the game and they would have had a fair shot.

So many things went bad this game it might take us to Thursday to cover it all

Fields crapped the bed today. 6 punts - 33.2 yard average, net average of 26 yards. Landry had at least 2 returns end before the 20 yard line.

Landry looks very shaky returning punts and I don't trust his instincts... it just doesn't look natural for him.
I worry he could cost Miami a game down the road.
Hickey should be scouring through what is available. -

He hasn't been bad. Not great... but top half in both departments. -
Buffalo's average starting position was their 43. Miami's was their 21. Buffalo started 5 times on Miami's side of the field. Buffalo's worst stating position was the Tannehill interception at the end of the game. Huge reason why Miami lost.
Edit: Two of these were on downs, so if we account for them Buffalo's average starting was their 39 yard line. -

I think it was Damien Williams who missed that key block on the punt block. Stupid rookie.
-
He looks uncomfortable and unsure of himself when the ball is in the air. On a couple short punts he didn't break on the ball correctly.
Some guys just make it look easy, he doesn't seem to do that. -

I like Landry on punt returns but he just doesn't have the vision on the kick returns IMO. What about Wallace or Miller?

ST is 1 and 1 this yr, had a great game vs the patsies, had a horrible, Bonamigo type of game vs Buffalo.
To me, this one falls at the ST units' feet as a whole. -
Rizziman will be busy this week. Major breakdowns on special teams that cost the Dolphins at least 13 points (blocked punt, short punt, and kickoff return).
