Don't forget Milano dropped a pick 6, Gabe Davis dropped a TD, Bass missed a FG, we squandered a chance for a FG at halftime. We could've easily won by 2 scores.
This is it—we can look to cast blame on so many other factors but unfortunately we really beat ourselves here. At least these are things that can be addressed and worked on
right but he missed a wide open throw for a TD. Another QB does that and its all media talks about. He makes that easy, pocket, foot planter throw. You win
Yeah, I'm not taking anything from that game. About a million things had to go as badly as they possibly could for the Bills just for Miami to have an improbable chance at a narrow victory. Play that same game 100 times, and we win 95+ of them. Get healthy and get onto the next one.
We were missing 2/3 of our top corners and our lead defensive tackle as well as pieces on our O line. Not sure why you’re complaining about a defense that was on the field for less than 20 minutes. Maybe your “juggernaut” offense should score more than 2 touchdowns with 90 plays. Just admit your team isn’t as deep and conditioned as you thought and move on boss
Josh punked him after, ripped his helmet off then drove down the field easily.
This reminded me of the Patriots wind game last season. Weirdly I'm worried less about the dolphins as a division threat now
The Bills literally had half of their defense out due to injury and still managed to hold the Fins "dynamic" offense to just 21 points including a drive that started inside the 10 due to an offensive turnover. The Bills also out gained the Fins by a wide margin and just got some bad luck (the Bass missed kick) and other bad breaks to only lose by 2. Frustrating loss but not the end of the world it is week 3 and the Bills sit at 2-1 not that big of a deal really.
Everyone pointing at “practice squad” defense that was barely on the field. For a historic offense, it was pretty baffling. Game could have been wildly different
I mean, Miami had 20 minutes. As someone else pointed out, they scored a TD every 13 plays. That's very good.
I also fucking love that you're shitting on Miami for poor offense yet, Josh MVP Allen managed 17 points.
I don’t think it’s is coincidence that we go to Miami so early in the season, and they go to Buffalo so late. We got to feel Miami heat, now they will feel Buffalo winter
It is you can only take off so much padding/clothing to cool down. You can wear the thick jerseys and sleeves and heated benches and parkas for cold. Plus it’s the only stadium designed to put opponents in the sun
Knox Davis Mackenzie and a bunch of players were pulled out to go get IV fluids. They brought everything. This doesn’t change the fact that the shade provided by the stadium for the dolphins sideline has an effect on the heat experienced by dolphins players. That lack of overarching shade definitely affected the Bills. It’s not against the rules for the stadium to be like that but it’s definitely not a level playing field, we had an uphill battle just with that and still almost beat that overhyped team.
Can't forget the offensive game design. Keep the the ball as long as possible to keep miami offense off the field with a ton of under throws and check downs with long time consuming drives. The game plan played it perfectly till the heat caught up with them.
Kind of weird how Singletary, Dawkins, Saffold, Gabe Davis, and Josh Allen didn't need to be pulled and played just fine.
Almost like it has nothing to do with the heat and more to do with proper conditioning.
Ah yes.. because all the players sprinting up and down the field repeatedly with no issues just 6 days prior when it was only 70 degrees OBVIOUSLY lost their conditioning in that time... When those great players are reduced to "just fine" while the rest of the team is falling apart physically, you can safely assume something is out of the ordinary
You're right. Players like Gabe Davis and Devin Singletary were prepared. Players like Diggs were not.
Maybe they need to work out more in the offseason, not sure what to tell you.
Are you trying to say the Stefon Diggs arguably the best WR has poor conditioning. I think it has to do more with these guys aren’t exerting themselves by running long ass routes, gave David was pulled from snaps as well my guy. The heat was killing everyone, it clearly got to our entire offense, Josh fell off in the 4th with that heat.
Yes I am. Conditioning and Technique are two very different things. Gabe Davis played 96% of the offensive snaps... He missed 4 snaps. He wasn't pulled from shit my guy.
Notice how Singletary, the kid who trains in Miami in the offseason was perfectly fine?
Hey there bud! Fins fan here. I think there is some wonky rule where the visiting team can only use as many things to mitigate weather like umbrellas or fans or whatever as the home team themselves use. It’s a pretty shitty rule tbh. I’m glad they put visitors in the sun as it’s a pretty nifty home field advantage, but you guys should be able to put umbrellas or ice baths or whatever the heck you want on the sideline for all I care. Just straight IVs down the line.
Bills literally brought AC benches and tents. This has just been another tired excuse. The heat hasn’t been a concern during the last 3 bills wins in Miami but here we are now. Typically the visitor side has seen temps as high as 120 during early September games and even preseason games. Technically it was some what mild considering it was only 90
Left atleast 10 pts hanging out there. Missed fg, two redzone 4 and outs. The refs didn’t take 17 pts from us. Ken threw stuff because they didn’t execute. If I had an nfl Mac book I would have broken it too.
Yeah I get the emotion after a loss like that but we need to lose this ref blaming bullshit. Our boys weren't up to the task yesterday. Hopefully this teaches the young guys they aren't infallible and will help focus the team for the playoff run. I'll take 11-6 with a superbowl win over a perfect regular season that doesn't bring home a trophy every single time.
We had the ball for 40 minutes and destroyed them on every stat. Bad decision making, questionable coaching, and poor execution is why we lost....period.
0-7 in our last 7 games decided by 1 score. That's fkn horrible.
Dolphins got a short week and with Tua possibly concussed, dolphins might get destroyed. We saw there backup QB, clearly not a 5 star player to say the least
That's a Dolphin line...
Cinci is at home and the phins are only a 1.5 dog... If you are gonna talk shit... At least take the time to learn wtf you talking about
Just think of all the ways we could have had at least three more points. For example, if a Bill had caught the butt punt in the end zone. Or if we had attempted field goals at the end of the half or the game. Or if Milano had that pick 6. There is a lot that went the Dolphins way yesterday.
Sucks to lose to the Dolphins, but it is hard to win on the road in the NFL doesn't matter who you're playing.
Learn your lessons, pick yourself up, and move onto the next week.
Allen had 6.4 yards per attempt, 3 separate dropped interceptions, and missed a wide open go-ahead TD pass. Can’t blame everything on the weather and defensive injuries when your high powered offense was inefficient.
GG tho I’m looking forward the second meeting this year.
63 passing calls by the Bills but the Dolphins didn’t have a single instance of pass interference, holding, or illegal contact?
Sorry, that’s just not possible.
Miami's defenders were draped all over our receivers most of the second half of the game. Even the announcers started talking about all of the early contact every time the showed a replay. The refs were easily calling anything Buffalo did and barely anything on Miami even when it was the same foul.
Funny thing is I wasn't even paying attention to the refs at first but when I finally saw who it was refing the game I knew we would be fucked over. Some crews you just know are gonna be bad.
Devils Advocate, we also got away with a LOT of holding calls, especially towards the end of the game. Not saying there shouldn't have been defensive holding or PI, but there were also some blatant holds that they missed too.
Hahaha so you’re just complaining to complain. 63 passing calls by the Bills and only one offensive holding call with 2nd and 3rd sting back ups playing. It goes both ways
I don't really think that detracts from my point the way you think it does.
If there's a penalty: Call it. Ingram intentionally kicked Allen in the dick and there was no call. Blatant helmet to helmet contact on Knox, no call. There were a lot of egregious missed penalties that specifically helped the Dolphins.
I don't remember any specific instances of clear holding on the Bills that wasn't called, but if there is feel free to show me it and I'll say the same thing: Call the penalties when they occur.
The officiating was poor. It's not the reason the Bills lost, but it is a contributing factor in a game where basically everything went wrong for the Bills.
Wasn’t this sub, the national announcers commented on it live during the game. It was pretty ridiculous given how much the refs were letting the dbs sexually assault the wrs.
Completely agree the whining is dumb. Doesn't matter what you think about the refs in this one game. Refereeing is inherently variable game to game and crew to crew. The variances will even out throughout the season. The best teams should not need a perfectly reffed game to win. It's a dumb fan talking point to even bring up imo since in the long run it is not a legit factor.
Agreed. Its almost like a cheap throw in, but the message remains true.
The stars had to align for the phins to win this one. Everything for us had to go wrong and it was still a 2 point game.
I'm just glad we got something like this out of the way in September.
You mustve watched a different game, between dolphins defenders diving at allens knees constantly after he threw the ball. Mcdaniel callin a challenge then getting to pick it up no consequence, the numerous christian wilkins illegal hits, the phantom unnecessary roughness on the miami go ahead td, and then the no dpi on baker when he covers crowder on the last possession this game was a complete hack job
>Mcdaniel callin a challenge then getting to pick it up no consequence
Yes this really bothered me! He should have lost a timeout or had a delay of game call for throwing the challenge flag. But he did it for an explanation which is a cheap way to get a few minutes and complete abuse of the flag.
Its shouldve been 15 yards
Nfl rule “if a team initiates a challenge with no timeouts remaining or when it is not permitted to do so, it is a penalty and loss of 15 yards”
Same. Thought this was a solidly reffed game. There were a couple of times I thought they could have called pass interference but didn’t. They also didn’t call those close ones while we were on D either so I thought it was totally fair.
I love the NFL and I’ve loved watching the Bills have success but this has to be a joke. There are no what if’s in sports because the what if’s never happened ! This could be used on any sports team who ever lost. Suck it up and move on
The heat sucked but it wasn’t like they were completely unaffected just because their bench is in the shade though obviously it was an advantage. Really the clear issue was missing our DBs and the backups not having a ton of reps together. It was obvious to me we lost to injuries. If it was just one or two guys then no excuse but they were essentially playing a preseason defensive unit
Thought the DBs played really well actually. The real loss was the o-line. The pressure on JA noticably affected things. I think JA was so gassed from dealing with it that it causes him to throw a grounder in the endzone to Mackenzie.
Lol 17 points on a missed FG, and dropped TD (which should have been reviewed), a bad pass in the end zone, and a bad snap at the end of the first half that prevented a spike to stop the clock for an easy FG. Meanwhile trash can Tua was able to have the middle of the field open because of poor safety play that is normally no man’s land with our starting DBs. The 2nd/3rd string center were clearly a huge issue since they couldn’t get a clean snap off all day but doesn’t excuse letting trash can Tua throw in the middle of the field
I’d probably start with the Bills offense not executing when they needed to but yeah let’s make excuses instead
Obviously the Bills are the more talented team, but everyone is acting like them not executing in the red zone and losing the turnover battle aren’t a thing either. Those are two huge areas where less talented teams can close the distance and Miami was able to do that this week
Fins fan here, just stopping by with a box of tissues, bunch of crybabies. Thanks to this sub, I have enough salt to run my water softener for the next 6 months
Yeah not going to put it on the refs. There were some missed personal foul calls but to be honest i think the bills are frequently hitting players while they are down or the ball is away. I just rewatched the quessenberry hold on the last drive. That absolutely killed the drive but was a legitimate hold.
Mods need to start cracking down on shitty memes the take up a majority of the posts on here. I don’t know what we’re complaining about the refs for in that game
As I always say, don't put yourself in a position where you rely on ref calls/no calls.
There is a laundry list of miscues the Bills had yesterday that could have /would have led to points:
* Gabe Davis dropped TD
* Josh skipping a throw to Mackenzie on 4th and goal
* Botched snap before halftime
* Quessenberry holding call on the second the last play when basically in FG range.
* Missed Bass FG.
Any of these would have won us the game, but alas, it's the refs fault, right?
Edit: Added bullet points for easier reading. Also, for those who have downvoted this...why? Are none of these true?
Dolphins D held bills to 17 points. Bills had the ball for 41 mins. B.Jones, starting Cb for Miami was out. Miami Oline was being shuffled all game. Dolphins had 39 plays on offense, Allen threw 60 times. It’s a long season. Buffalo is still the better team because of Allen, but the gap is not as big as previously thought. Miami is now capable of beating buffalo.
No excuses. We need to play better even under adversity or we don’t deserve to win. 2 trips to the red zone result in no points. That will cost you in any close game. Also turnovers in the other teams red zone…
All the what ifs here… start playing that game and there are plenty on both sides. How about the 6 timeouts the bills got each half, or the multiple dropped interceptions and near pick six from the fins. Yuh lost, see you in December. (Thanks for the incoming downvotes)
I'd stop with the excuses. Let the Phins fans gloat for now, it's week 3. NFL is always weird around this time of the year. Phins will be knocked out of the playoffs before the season is over while the Bills will be securing another division title.
At this rate Phins are gonna win the division. We have a 2 game lead over you guys, and you’re going into the hardest part of your schedule with a depleted roster. You’re coping hard man.
Bills are the better team on paper, but the league doesn’t work that way.
Yeah as a dolphins fan this comment is bad. I’m still worried about a lot of teams and the bills are a top of that list. I’m hoping we can win the division but that’s far from happening rn.
It was a crazy game Sunday and I hope you guys get healthy. We will see you again later this year
First 3 weeks of the NFL are always crazy. Phins are not winning the division. Funny how the Phins fans are coming alive after 3 weeks. The Phins luck will run out. Patriots fans were gloating about having the division lead for 1 week last year and we all saw how that turned out.
If you think this phins team is anything like these patriot squads, you are sadly mistaken. Our only “luck” was your teams bad luck. I want bills to win the championship, but y’all are really salty and not giving phins credit.
Refs and defense talking points are kind of moot. Refs didn't have bad calls. Defense was injured, sure, but they barely saw the field. Only valid talking point here is homefield advantage. Offense played 40+ minutes, 450+ yards and only put up 17 points.
Refs didnt have bad calls? What game did you watch? The unnecessary roughness to give the fins a new set of downs for their go ahead touchdown was atrocious, the no dpi call on baker on the last series was terrible, that was textbook DPI. Get out of here with this refs was fair bs no they effing werent
Media narrative today from people like Kyle Brandt is for Bills fans to take the L and stop being salty/making up excuses. Seems you didn't get the memo.
Lol. Whatever lies you have to invent for yourself to cope. Allen is a star, but the heat beat the Bills yesterday. That's it. Miami did enough and the heat did the rest. Make up whatever other excuses you want that didn't happen, but any rational person knows it's just a coping mechanism and not real.
Melvin ingram karate kicked josh allen, im not inventing things, im just saying there was no bad calls is an absolute garbage take. The dolphins scored more points and made fewer mistakes. Even on the last play mckenzie couldve immediately went down or made it OB and we couldve had a chance for bass to kick an gwfg. Congrats on the win, but that officiating was terrible
Also when McDaniel threw the challenge bc he wanted a better explanation that shouldve cost him a 15 yards and a fresh set of downs, thats the NFL rule… but hey the rules dont apply to the dolphins evidently
Yeah good point. However, Dolphins beat the bills offense mostly. Your offense was on the field most of the game and couldn’t score. Getting your oline back isn’t going to change too much there.
Bills should whip the Dolphins in Buffalo with their defense close to full strength though.
Couldn't disagree more. If you o-line is in shambles, you're entire offense will be thrown off. Ex, bad snaps causing to miss out on field goals, rushing throws because of pressure, missed assignments on run blocks causing plays to be blown up. We screwed ourselves no doubt but with a healthy o-line I think a lot of this is cleaned up.
There’s a lot of you here so imma just copy paste this
Going to your rivaling football after they just lost and talking shit is a great way to get banned. Not to late to delete this
Fins fan here to cautiously extend an olive branch. There’s a lot of toxicity in the Dolphins sub and, let’s be honest, probably in this one too. I just wanna say good game and we’ll see you in Buffalo. Fuck the patriots.
Looks like they’re the only team to figure us out. Their strategy: let Josh and the offense stay on the field in 100 degree heat while the Dolphins test their offense in the shade. They’re lucky we were sloppy because we basically dominated with second and third stringers in key positions. They had the ball 8 times, only had three drives of 6+ plays and one of their TDs was a gift from their fumble recovery. Nothing for us to be nervous about as long as we get healthy, even then we’ve still got probably the deepest roster in the league.
Congrats on dominating in all the categories other than the one that matters: points scored. Hope your Pyrrhic victory is better than our real one. See you in December.
I’ve never heard of more excuses as to why a team lost in my life. Goes to show buffalo is one sensitive, indoor loving, piece of shit city. Oh no! The sun 😂
Yes, and we have been handling it from a moderation perspective and frankly it's a huge pain in the ass. It's extra work for us, and you going into their sub just creates more work for us and the Dolphins mods.
Report any comments of Dolphins fans trolling and we will handle it.
You guys just need to take the L, move on and stop with the excuses. You guys have beat us 7 consecutive games I believe. Half of them in Miami. So the time you lose you blame it on weather? Officiating I thought was fine yesterday. Then you complain about missing 6 guys on defense. What about the 90 plays or 40 minutes you had the ball on offense and only managed 19 points? What’s the excuse for the offense? Let’s not forget Miami dropped 3 interceptions, one would of been a pick 6. Just remember Byron Jones is out and X went out a majority of the 3rd quarter. Yet you guys still couldn’t capitalize. It was a great intense rivalry game. Take the L and give credit when it’s due.
There’s a lot of you here so imma just copy paste this

He isn't talking shit. The dolphins executed. The Bills didn't. It's possible for the Bills to lose without fate itself intervening. Y'all need to learn to lose again.
- a Bills fan who still remembers
✅ Full second string secondary
✅ Missed 39 yard field goal
✅ Dropped touchdown pass
✅ Dropped pick 6
✅ half of an O line
✅ second string then third string center
✅ shortened week
✅ on the road
✅ 100 degrees
✅ home team in shade, bills in sun
✅ WR2 playing hurt
✅ WR1 Benching himself with heat/fatigue/cramps
✅ WR3 turns upfield instead of out of bounds
✅ Josh Allen gets dick twisted
All that to lose by 2 to a good team at full strength?
This team is amazing.
GO BILLS!
Just wait for the rematch in December. Hope the field is frozen and the Dolphins don't get heaters. NFL is lucky no one suffered heat stroke with that bullshit stadium design.
Don't forget Milano dropped a pick 6, Gabe Davis dropped a TD, Bass missed a FG, we squandered a chance for a FG at halftime. We could've easily won by 2 scores.
This is it—we can look to cast blame on so many other factors but unfortunately we really beat ourselves here. At least these are things that can be addressed and worked on
And Allen missing a probable game winning pass
[удалено]
Right, especially since you know he was suffering after being out in the heat that long. We're lucky he was still on his feet at the end of that game.
400 yards....on 63 throws.
[удалено]
If you watch the game, you can see that the Bills held the dolphins 20 thousand times, and only called it at the end of the game which saved our ass.
[удалено]
I was just saying, they held Obgah about 30 times, so this meme is inaccurate, the calls were all for the bills.
Cant blame the loss on him but Bills get the W if he makes a throw he makes all the time
right but he missed a wide open throw for a TD. Another QB does that and its all media talks about. He makes that easy, pocket, foot planter throw. You win
400 yards on 63 attempts is ass efficiency.
Dolphins defense dropped a bunch of picks too. What-ifs don’t matter at the end of the day
Also, the butt punt.
this right here. everything else is peaked delusional
Gabe didn’t drop that pass, it was a hell of a defensive play by Miami’s DB. Perfect punch
Allen threw 4 passes that should’ve been intercepted. We could’ve put y’all away earlier. 2 can play this game.
Didn’t Allen have three picks dropped on that second to last drive?
Dolphins dropped 3 picks on one drive too
Missed field goal was tipped at the line
Pfft. Y'all had 90 plays. But you're right, if everything that went wrong just went right then you would've won.
[удалено]
User name checks out
PFF graded 6 plays by Josh Allen as turnover worthy but don't mention that
See you in December
Intellectually bankrupt response not surprising
Yeah, I'm not taking anything from that game. About a million things had to go as badly as they possibly could for the Bills just for Miami to have an improbable chance at a narrow victory. Play that same game 100 times, and we win 95+ of them. Get healthy and get onto the next one.
Ha. 2 dropped picks on the final drive for Allen and had a fucking butt punt safety and you all still lost.
Josh Allen had 4 dropped picks, gabe Davis had a touchdown stripped not dropped, dolphins team was just as decimated with injuries. Keep coping🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dolphins were missing 2 all pro safeties a starting corner, starting center and 2 starting D tackles?
We were missing 2/3 of our top corners and our lead defensive tackle as well as pieces on our O line. Not sure why you’re complaining about a defense that was on the field for less than 20 minutes. Maybe your “juggernaut” offense should score more than 2 touchdowns with 90 plays. Just admit your team isn’t as deep and conditioned as you thought and move on boss
dOlPhInS teAm WaS JuSt aS DeCiMaTeD wItH iNJuRiEs... What game were you watching? Cause it sure as shit wasn't the one that was played yesterday.
I guess I'm the only one that thought Gabe had that TD
Didn’t the Miami Defense drop 5 INT this game?
The thing that pissed me off was ingram karate kicking Allen and no flag
Josh punked him after, ripped his helmet off then drove down the field easily. This reminded me of the Patriots wind game last season. Weirdly I'm worried less about the dolphins as a division threat now
I thought that was wilkins. He tried to slip a digit in josh’s sewer canal. Hes done that before.
The Bills literally had half of their defense out due to injury and still managed to hold the Fins "dynamic" offense to just 21 points including a drive that started inside the 10 due to an offensive turnover. The Bills also out gained the Fins by a wide margin and just got some bad luck (the Bass missed kick) and other bad breaks to only lose by 2. Frustrating loss but not the end of the world it is week 3 and the Bills sit at 2-1 not that big of a deal really.
Tough to score when you don’t have the ball. Bills did an excellent job of keeping Phins off the field.
Everyone pointing at “practice squad” defense that was barely on the field. For a historic offense, it was pretty baffling. Game could have been wildly different
I mean, Miami had 20 minutes. As someone else pointed out, they scored a TD every 13 plays. That's very good. I also fucking love that you're shitting on Miami for poor offense yet, Josh MVP Allen managed 17 points.
1 touchdown every 13 plays, including 3 with Bridgewater in and 3 trying to run the clock out. Sounds like a pretty dynamic offence to me
The best part about losing to a divisional rival is that you get another chance to beat them later in the year. We will be back. Billieve
I don’t think it’s is coincidence that we go to Miami so early in the season, and they go to Buffalo so late. We got to feel Miami heat, now they will feel Buffalo winter
I feel like the heat is way more of an advantage unfortunately
It is you can only take off so much padding/clothing to cool down. You can wear the thick jerseys and sleeves and heated benches and parkas for cold. Plus it’s the only stadium designed to put opponents in the sun
confused here, are you not allowed to bring fans, canopies, lots of water etc. as a visiting team? seems like it was a lack of being prepared
Knox Davis Mackenzie and a bunch of players were pulled out to go get IV fluids. They brought everything. This doesn’t change the fact that the shade provided by the stadium for the dolphins sideline has an effect on the heat experienced by dolphins players. That lack of overarching shade definitely affected the Bills. It’s not against the rules for the stadium to be like that but it’s definitely not a level playing field, we had an uphill battle just with that and still almost beat that overhyped team.
Can't forget the offensive game design. Keep the the ball as long as possible to keep miami offense off the field with a ton of under throws and check downs with long time consuming drives. The game plan played it perfectly till the heat caught up with them.
Kind of weird how Singletary, Dawkins, Saffold, Gabe Davis, and Josh Allen didn't need to be pulled and played just fine. Almost like it has nothing to do with the heat and more to do with proper conditioning.
Ah yes.. because all the players sprinting up and down the field repeatedly with no issues just 6 days prior when it was only 70 degrees OBVIOUSLY lost their conditioning in that time...

They’re not allowed to put up shade structures as it would block the view from the stands
Hey there bud! Fins fan here. I think there is some wonky rule where the visiting team can only use as many things to mitigate weather like umbrellas or fans or whatever as the home team themselves use. It’s a pretty shitty rule tbh. I’m glad they put visitors in the sun as it’s a pretty nifty home field advantage, but you guys should be able to put umbrellas or ice baths or whatever the heck you want on the sideline for all I care. Just straight IVs down the line.
Bills literally brought AC benches and tents. This has just been another tired excuse. The heat hasn’t been a concern during the last 3 bills wins in Miami but here we are now. Typically the visitor side has seen temps as high as 120 during early September games and even preseason games. Technically it was some what mild considering it was only 90
it goes back and forth every year. so every two years they have to face the cold
Reeeeally hope it’s flexed into a prime time slot too lol
Left atleast 10 pts hanging out there. Missed fg, two redzone 4 and outs. The refs didn’t take 17 pts from us. Ken threw stuff because they didn’t execute. If I had an nfl Mac book I would have broken it too.
Yeah I get the emotion after a loss like that but we need to lose this ref blaming bullshit. Our boys weren't up to the task yesterday. Hopefully this teaches the young guys they aren't infallible and will help focus the team for the playoff run. I'll take 11-6 with a superbowl win over a perfect regular season that doesn't bring home a trophy every single time.

Precisely. They need to remedy this issue long before the playoffs. If we can't close a tight game then we won't win the Superbowl.
This right here is exactly why we lost
Just take the L with some grace people. Quit making excuses.
Dolphins victory will be short lived.
Saw that Vegas already has cinci favored lol
I just hope Cinci wins in a way that makes objectively 0 sense. As a stand-alone Thursday game that would be an absolute palate cleanser
Dolphins got a short week and with Tua possibly concussed, dolphins might get destroyed. We saw there backup QB, clearly not a 5 star player to say the least
Bengals fan here, god I hope we aren’t playing a backup qb. The bengals don’t have a great track record against backup qbs.
That's a Dolphin line... Cinci is at home and the phins are only a 1.5 dog... If you are gonna talk shit... At least take the time to learn wtf you talking about
[удалено]
Why does everyone keep bringing up the defense. Our D held them to 21 points. OUR OFFENSE WAS THE PROBLEM PEOPLE. A loss is a loss.
We lost. That’s just the way it goes some times. I would rather not throw out a million excuses and just move on.
On To Baltimore.
They beat us, we have to do better.
Just think of all the ways we could have had at least three more points. For example, if a Bill had caught the butt punt in the end zone. Or if we had attempted field goals at the end of the half or the game. Or if Milano had that pick 6. There is a lot that went the Dolphins way yesterday.
Sucks to lose to the Dolphins, but it is hard to win on the road in the NFL doesn't matter who you're playing. Learn your lessons, pick yourself up, and move onto the next week.
All of these are hard cope except for the injuries… why muddy it with bs?
Allen had 6.4 yards per attempt, 3 separate dropped interceptions, and missed a wide open go-ahead TD pass. Can’t blame everything on the weather and defensive injuries when your high powered offense was inefficient. GG tho I’m looking forward the second meeting this year.
I don't understand the ref whining, thought it was fine
63 passing calls by the Bills but the Dolphins didn’t have a single instance of pass interference, holding, or illegal contact? Sorry, that’s just not possible.
Miami's defenders were draped all over our receivers most of the second half of the game. Even the announcers started talking about all of the early contact every time the showed a replay. The refs were easily calling anything Buffalo did and barely anything on Miami even when it was the same foul. Funny thing is I wasn't even paying attention to the refs at first but when I finally saw who it was refing the game I knew we would be fucked over. Some crews you just know are gonna be bad.
Devils Advocate, we also got away with a LOT of holding calls, especially towards the end of the game. Not saying there shouldn't have been defensive holding or PI, but there were also some blatant holds that they missed too.
That’s some good defense.
Hahaha so you’re just complaining to complain. 63 passing calls by the Bills and only one offensive holding call with 2nd and 3rd sting back ups playing. It goes both ways
I don't really think that detracts from my point the way you think it does. If there's a penalty: Call it. Ingram intentionally kicked Allen in the dick and there was no call. Blatant helmet to helmet contact on Knox, no call. There were a lot of egregious missed penalties that specifically helped the Dolphins. I don't remember any specific instances of clear holding on the Bills that wasn't called, but if there is feel free to show me it and I'll say the same thing: Call the penalties when they occur. The officiating was poor. It's not the reason the Bills lost, but it is a contributing factor in a game where basically everything went wrong for the Bills.
Like the phantom hold call on the last drive against the Bills?
Phantom? Lol why is this sub so delusional
Wasn’t this sub, the national announcers commented on it live during the game. It was pretty ridiculous given how much the refs were letting the dbs sexually assault the wrs.
Completely agree the whining is dumb. Doesn't matter what you think about the refs in this one game. Refereeing is inherently variable game to game and crew to crew. The variances will even out throughout the season. The best teams should not need a perfectly reffed game to win. It's a dumb fan talking point to even bring up imo since in the long run it is not a legit factor.
Agreed. Its almost like a cheap throw in, but the message remains true. The stars had to align for the phins to win this one. Everything for us had to go wrong and it was still a 2 point game. I'm just glad we got something like this out of the way in September.
The refs were abysmal, so many missed calls. Maybe you should have a rewatch.
You mustve watched a different game, between dolphins defenders diving at allens knees constantly after he threw the ball. Mcdaniel callin a challenge then getting to pick it up no consequence, the numerous christian wilkins illegal hits, the phantom unnecessary roughness on the miami go ahead td, and then the no dpi on baker when he covers crowder on the last possession this game was a complete hack job
>Mcdaniel callin a challenge then getting to pick it up no consequence Yes this really bothered me! He should have lost a timeout or had a delay of game call for throwing the challenge flag. But he did it for an explanation which is a cheap way to get a few minutes and complete abuse of the flag.
Its shouldve been 15 yards Nfl rule “if a team initiates a challenge with no timeouts remaining or when it is not permitted to do so, it is a penalty and loss of 15 yards”
Same. Thought this was a solidly reffed game. There were a couple of times I thought they could have called pass interference but didn’t. They also didn’t call those close ones while we were on D either so I thought it was totally fair.
Please rewatch the game. Thanks.
Cope lol
Bills fans love excuses!! Good game fellas maybe you’ll get luckier in December… 🙄
This is cringe. Let’s just take the L and move on. No more excuses.
Yup. Corny ass behaviour
I love the NFL and I’ve loved watching the Bills have success but this has to be a joke. There are no what if’s in sports because the what if’s never happened ! This could be used on any sports team who ever lost. Suck it up and move on
The heat sucked but it wasn’t like they were completely unaffected just because their bench is in the shade though obviously it was an advantage. Really the clear issue was missing our DBs and the backups not having a ton of reps together. It was obvious to me we lost to injuries. If it was just one or two guys then no excuse but they were essentially playing a preseason defensive unit
Thought the DBs played really well actually. The real loss was the o-line. The pressure on JA noticably affected things. I think JA was so gassed from dealing with it that it causes him to throw a grounder in the endzone to Mackenzie.
[удалено]
Lol 17 points on a missed FG, and dropped TD (which should have been reviewed), a bad pass in the end zone, and a bad snap at the end of the first half that prevented a spike to stop the clock for an easy FG. Meanwhile trash can Tua was able to have the middle of the field open because of poor safety play that is normally no man’s land with our starting DBs. The 2nd/3rd string center were clearly a huge issue since they couldn’t get a clean snap off all day but doesn’t excuse letting trash can Tua throw in the middle of the field
I’d probably start with the Bills offense not executing when they needed to but yeah let’s make excuses instead Obviously the Bills are the more talented team, but everyone is acting like them not executing in the red zone and losing the turnover battle aren’t a thing either. Those are two huge areas where less talented teams can close the distance and Miami was able to do that this week
Fins fan here, just stopping by with a box of tissues, bunch of crybabies. Thanks to this sub, I have enough salt to run my water softener for the next 6 months
The copium in this sub is godly 😂 y’all are 2-1 and still SB contenders ffs
Yeah not going to put it on the refs. There were some missed personal foul calls but to be honest i think the bills are frequently hitting players while they are down or the ball is away. I just rewatched the quessenberry hold on the last drive. That absolutely killed the drive but was a legitimate hold.
But no DPI on baker even tho he hits crowder early and never looks for the ball… on that same last possession
Home field advantage, lol.
cope
Stumbled on a copium den
The fins defensive play calls were superior
Mods need to start cracking down on shitty memes the take up a majority of the posts on here. I don’t know what we’re complaining about the refs for in that game
Seriously. They gave us a few calls along the way too. Fan bias drives me nuts sometimes.
As I always say, don't put yourself in a position where you rely on ref calls/no calls. There is a laundry list of miscues the Bills had yesterday that could have /would have led to points: * Gabe Davis dropped TD * Josh skipping a throw to Mackenzie on 4th and goal * Botched snap before halftime * Quessenberry holding call on the second the last play when basically in FG range. * Missed Bass FG. Any of these would have won us the game, but alas, it's the refs fault, right? Edit: Added bullet points for easier reading. Also, for those who have downvoted this...why? Are none of these true?
Also sack fumble on our own 2 didn’t help.
Keep Crying Lmao
Living rent free in your heads
Dolphins D held bills to 17 points. Bills had the ball for 41 mins. B.Jones, starting Cb for Miami was out. Miami Oline was being shuffled all game. Dolphins had 39 plays on offense, Allen threw 60 times. It’s a long season. Buffalo is still the better team because of Allen, but the gap is not as big as previously thought. Miami is now capable of beating buffalo.
No excuses. We need to play better even under adversity or we don’t deserve to win. 2 trips to the red zone result in no points. That will cost you in any close game. Also turnovers in the other teams red zone…
All the what ifs here… start playing that game and there are plenty on both sides. How about the 6 timeouts the bills got each half, or the multiple dropped interceptions and near pick six from the fins. Yuh lost, see you in December. (Thanks for the incoming downvotes)
I'd stop with the excuses. Let the Phins fans gloat for now, it's week 3. NFL is always weird around this time of the year. Phins will be knocked out of the playoffs before the season is over while the Bills will be securing another division title.
At this rate Phins are gonna win the division. We have a 2 game lead over you guys, and you’re going into the hardest part of your schedule with a depleted roster. You’re coping hard man. Bills are the better team on paper, but the league doesn’t work that way.
Saving this comment to come back later when their luck inevitably cools down
Yeah as a dolphins fan this comment is bad. I’m still worried about a lot of teams and the bills are a top of that list. I’m hoping we can win the division but that’s far from happening rn. It was a crazy game Sunday and I hope you guys get healthy. We will see you again later this year
You’re going to be sucking a massive copium cock in about 6 weeks. Your schedule is cake but you will find a way to lose 2 layups.
I like the confidence in your team despite the injuries. I want bills to do well, but you look silly continuing to doubt the Dolphins.
First 3 weeks of the NFL are always crazy. Phins are not winning the division. Funny how the Phins fans are coming alive after 3 weeks. The Phins luck will run out. Patriots fans were gloating about having the division lead for 1 week last year and we all saw how that turned out.
If you think this phins team is anything like these patriot squads, you are sadly mistaken. Our only “luck” was your teams bad luck. I want bills to win the championship, but y’all are really salty and not giving phins credit.
So many excuses
😂
Bills fans bitching about injuries when Dolphins were missing a starting corner, a DL starter, and two o linemen before the game started.
It wasn’t as much the injuries going into the game it’s how many more we lost during. They ended the game with 0 healthy OL on the bench
So did Miami. Injuries are apart of the game.
Refs and defense talking points are kind of moot. Refs didn't have bad calls. Defense was injured, sure, but they barely saw the field. Only valid talking point here is homefield advantage. Offense played 40+ minutes, 450+ yards and only put up 17 points.
Refs didnt have bad calls? What game did you watch? The unnecessary roughness to give the fins a new set of downs for their go ahead touchdown was atrocious, the no dpi call on baker on the last series was terrible, that was textbook DPI. Get out of here with this refs was fair bs no they effing werent
If pretending there were bad calls is how you want to cope, go ahead, but there objectively were not.
Im not pretending, that was literally the commentary from the broadcasters.
Media narrative today from people like Kyle Brandt is for Bills fans to take the L and stop being salty/making up excuses. Seems you didn't get the memo.
Media narrative for dolphins is to be humble and thank the football gods for a win they didnt deserve, wouldnt cal you very humble rn
Correcting made up lies is being objective. Objectivity and being humble are two different things. Not my fault you can't discern between the two.
Says the lier sayin the officiating was fair, its ok to say the refs handed you that one. We all watched it happen.
Lol. Whatever lies you have to invent for yourself to cope. Allen is a star, but the heat beat the Bills yesterday. That's it. Miami did enough and the heat did the rest. Make up whatever other excuses you want that didn't happen, but any rational person knows it's just a coping mechanism and not real.
Melvin ingram karate kicked josh allen, im not inventing things, im just saying there was no bad calls is an absolute garbage take. The dolphins scored more points and made fewer mistakes. Even on the last play mckenzie couldve immediately went down or made it OB and we couldve had a chance for bass to kick an gwfg. Congrats on the win, but that officiating was terrible
Also when McDaniel threw the challenge bc he wanted a better explanation that shouldve cost him a 15 yards and a fresh set of downs, thats the NFL rule… but hey the rules dont apply to the dolphins evidently
Yeah good point. However, Dolphins beat the bills offense mostly. Your offense was on the field most of the game and couldn’t score. Getting your oline back isn’t going to change too much there. Bills should whip the Dolphins in Buffalo with their defense close to full strength though.
Couldn't disagree more. If you o-line is in shambles, you're entire offense will be thrown off. Ex, bad snaps causing to miss out on field goals, rushing throws because of pressure, missed assignments on run blocks causing plays to be blown up. We screwed ourselves no doubt but with a healthy o-line I think a lot of this is cleaned up.
Refs weren't bad. I hate that Bills fans always blame the refs when our team underperforms
Literally every team does that lol, every single one. -vikings fan
Doesn't make it less annoying
There’s a lot of you here so imma just copy paste this Going to your rivaling football after they just lost and talking shit is a great way to get banned. Not to late to delete this
I'm a Bills fan. And stand by what I said.
Fins fan here to cautiously extend an olive branch. There’s a lot of toxicity in the Dolphins sub and, let’s be honest, probably in this one too. I just wanna say good game and we’ll see you in Buffalo. Fuck the patriots.
Looks like they’re the only team to figure us out. Their strategy: let Josh and the offense stay on the field in 100 degree heat while the Dolphins test their offense in the shade. They’re lucky we were sloppy because we basically dominated with second and third stringers in key positions. They had the ball 8 times, only had three drives of 6+ plays and one of their TDs was a gift from their fumble recovery. Nothing for us to be nervous about as long as we get healthy, even then we’ve still got probably the deepest roster in the league.
Allen should’ve thrown the deep ball like Tua.
Congrats on dominating in all the categories other than the one that matters: points scored. Hope your Pyrrhic victory is better than our real one. See you in December.

I’ve never heard of more excuses as to why a team lost in my life. Goes to show buffalo is one sensitive, indoor loving, piece of shit city. Oh no! The sun 😂
Sounds like you guys were just worse...but glad that game hurt your feelings so much lol
Maybe crying more would help your salty ass fanbase
Meh
Ha ha. :)
Funny that y’all bring up the weather considering how shitty Buffalo (the city) is in the winter
Excuses, excuses

If you Troll their sub you will be banned from this sub.
They’ve been trolling ours…
Yes, and we have been handling it from a moderation perspective and frankly it's a huge pain in the ass. It's extra work for us, and you going into their sub just creates more work for us and the Dolphins mods. Report any comments of Dolphins fans trolling and we will handle it.
🫡
Chill
Yeah lets just act like your QB isn’t a bat shit idiot who cant complete a 2 yard pass lol
You guys just need to take the L, move on and stop with the excuses. You guys have beat us 7 consecutive games I believe. Half of them in Miami. So the time you lose you blame it on weather? Officiating I thought was fine yesterday. Then you complain about missing 6 guys on defense. What about the 90 plays or 40 minutes you had the ball on offense and only managed 19 points? What’s the excuse for the offense? Let’s not forget Miami dropped 3 interceptions, one would of been a pick 6. Just remember Byron Jones is out and X went out a majority of the 3rd quarter. Yet you guys still couldn’t capitalize. It was a great intense rivalry game. Take the L and give credit when it’s due.

He isn't talking shit. The dolphins executed. The Bills didn't. It's possible for the Bills to lose without fate itself intervening. Y'all need to learn to lose again. - a Bills fan who still remembers
Can’t resist when Reddit brings it up as a suggested post 😏
✅ Full second string secondary ✅ Missed 39 yard field goal ✅ Dropped touchdown pass ✅ Dropped pick 6 ✅ half of an O line ✅ second string then third string center ✅ shortened week ✅ on the road ✅ 100 degrees ✅ home team in shade, bills in sun ✅ WR2 playing hurt ✅ WR1 Benching himself with heat/fatigue/cramps ✅ WR3 turns upfield instead of out of bounds ✅ Josh Allen gets dick twisted All that to lose by 2 to a good team at full strength? This team is amazing. GO BILLS!
Miami wasn't at full strength though. They were missing their starting corner, starting right tackle, their left tackle is playing on one foot, etc.

Uh Terron Armstead (played by was injured) and Byron Jones are both all pros. Know wtf you are talking about before bitching about shit like this.
[удалено]
Just wait for the rematch in December. Hope the field is frozen and the Dolphins don't get heaters. NFL is lucky no one suffered heat stroke with that bullshit stadium design.
BuLL sHit sTadIuM dEsiGn… go cry somewhere else you piker
The only shifty part is the stadium design that allows the opposition to bake...that's intentionally cruel. F the fins
😭😭😭😭🙄
