    Yup. Jumping as Allen pump fakes a 2 yard pass taking guys right out of the play being undisciplined. Standing still while he's runnign at you. Man up... go and hit that ****er. I get it, he's a good athlete, but so is everyone in the NFL. So step up and hit him. Same with the WR's, sure they're quick, shifty and excell at YAC yards... but if you stick to your fundamentals and take proper angles and wrap up, instead of arm tackle attempts you can stop Allen, and take down the WR's. To me, the game plan was frustrating as they dink and dunked us to death, but ultimately it's why we won. They didn't get beat deep, didnt get burned by a thousand crossing routes, didnt... basically do everything they did last year. So... it's frustrating to watch sometimes against a team like Buffalo because they can easily turn 2 yard passes in to 20 yard gains, but if you stick to your fundamentals and TACKLE... it can work.

    Yep. We should legit be eyeing a 12-13 win season at this point - we can challenge the Bills and should be an elite WC team if we do end up in second in our division. Things are open, the schedule the next weeks is open ... the opportunity is there for sure.


    I mean, we've played 3 good teams, and the Pats game wasn't really close. Ravens and Buffalo are legit SB contenders. It's understandable that the games have been close. I'd like us to beat garbage teams like the Jests and Bears by multiple scores though.

    They'll fix that. At least there are no glaring weaknesses that we'll likely have to suffer through the entire year. Refreshing tbh.

    Realistically we could be 9-2 before the next tough stretch begins. We face the Bengals, Jets, Vikings, Steelers, Lions, Bears, Browns and Texans. Assuming we win 50% of the tougher games there that's realistically 9-2.

    We're actually now the only undefeated team in the AFC. Philly, Giants and Bucs are the only others left.

    We’re sitting at the bar exhausted. This game took everything out of me. I just knew they were going to give up the safety and have a chance. The defense came up huge.

    Being in Greece, watching with a bunch of ex-pats and my son who we haven’t been able to watch a game together in a couple years, this win was special. Something we will always remember.

    100% reminds me of the Patriots offenses that always gave us problems. Short over the middle 3-5 yards that got 10-15!

    honestly surprised we didnt go deep more often this game. With all their injuries and our speed we didn’t really even try! Maybe it was a game plan this week to run

    If I was at the bar I’d be drunk by halftime and starting fights with every bills fan I saw. I would have been crying at the 1:30 marker and buying drinks for everyone after the game. Yes I’m an emotional rollercoaster for this team!!

    Every time you thought Miami would lose this, they found a way to win drives or battles when it mattered. I know Buffalo was decimated with injuries but breaking that 7 game streak, doing it the way we did, feels pretty darn good. Just need to keep Tua healthy and will be interesting to see how this season plays out.

    Allen threw a whole bunch of near INT's, including at least one that should've been a pick 6. There's no need for what if's in this kind of game. This was a slugfest and a test of wills like many playoff games. And we won! No need for what if's.

    The NFL has opened up a review on our concussion protocols on Tua. Let’s see what this develops into.

    It wasnt a concussion. And the nfl independent neurologist onsite clears a guy to return to the game. So the nfl is investigating itself…

    All of the preseason talk about the first four games on Miami's schedule...Everyone was saying how difficult it was going to be and predicted Miami would more than likely be 0-4, or 1-3 at best. We now sit as the only undefeated team in the AFC.

    -We beat the Patriots
    -We beat the Ravens
    -We beat the Bills

    Even if we do lose to the Bengals on Thursday, we'll still be 3-1 going into the easier portion of our schedule before our west coast run. The Dolphins offense wasn't spectacular today but keep in mind, we were playing against one of the best teams in the league against Buffalo. Our defense was on the field for a LONG time today having difficulty getting the Bills offense off of the field but keep in mind, we were paying against one of the best teams in the league against Buffalo.

    The Dolphins are finding a way to win. They are willing the team to win. Credit to the coaching staff and the intestinal fortitude of every member of the team giving everything they had to make a play when it counted.

    The last time the Dolphins were 3-0 was 2013...but then the wheels fell off the wagon, but those wins were against the pathetic Browns, Colts and Falcons before we started playing REAL teams. Our 3-0 start has been against true high caliber teams and being battle tested early in the season bodes well for our chances for a successful season.

    My voice is still hoarse from all of the screaming at the local sports bar watching the game. Still loving it! :up:

    I mean, their secondary was hurting .... but we held an ELITE offense and ELITE QB to 19 points. Their DL and LBs are excellent positional groups and they are a well coached team that made two high level playoff teams from last year look like the Texans.

    It will be a different game later in the season in the cold at Buffalo, but this win was big. As much as we struggled with this team in the Flores years ... to come up with a tough win was huge. We showed we can compete and can't be overlooked. We are real.

    We go up against the Bengals and then frankly it's a bunch of teams that we are flat out better than. It's time to go on a roll and show the league we belong in the KC/Buffalo tier.

    Not meaning to nit-pick, but the defense held Buffalo's offense to only 17 points. Surely you can't credit Buffalo's offense for a special team's safety :up:

    We started 3-0 in 2018. I think we're going 4-0 though, and the last time we went 4-0 was 1995. Of course the game after that one is against the Jets, so 5-0. Then the Vikings. 6-0. Last time 6-0 was 1992. Then the next benchmark is Marino's incredible 1984 season where we started 11-0. We'll see how far we get, but we're officially on perfect season watch.

    Keeping Armstead and Tua healthy are gonna be key to this teams success. We saw how bad Bridgewater looked and we’ve seen how bad our OL is when Liam has to play LT.
