NFL Week 16: Bills @ Dolphins - Postgame

Not much to say about this game. It was unremarkable, dour and pretty boring. Was not enjoyable on either side of the ball for Bills fans, and judging by the quarter filled stadium, Fins fans didn't even bother.

The first two drives for Miami started off with a lot of power running, carving up the Bills D which had been shown up last week and continued to look like they couldn't stop a slight breeze.

A highlight was a blocked FG off the first drive by Alex Carrington who has now had 3 for the year. After this, Tannehill, the Miami QB, decided to run all over the Bills in his best Russell Wilson impersonation.

Offensively, Stevie Johnson killed a promising opening drive with a fumble. I guess it was symptomatic, because there were a huge number of turnovers by the Bills, which is consistent with the theme of the back half of the season, the  Bills finding a new way to lose each week.  This week was straight up giving the opposition the ball. Dickerson did his best Stevie Johnson impersonation later on, catching and then fumbling and then Fitzpatrick also joined in with a strip.

The team committed a bunch of false starts early on, then shifted focus to collecting other kinds of penalties. Fitzpatrick continues to show his inability to 'get it done', especially on 3rd down conversions. In this instance threw behind Dickerson and Johnson by about 3 miles. He threw a nice deep ball to TJ Graham, when it meant diddly squat, but still.

It's also a good thing the Bills limited Spiller's touches this season. That way he was nice and rested for his career long 62 yard run.


Offence was particularly offensive and impotent, until the 4th quarter where they decided to do something.
Then the interception at the end was the most fitting of plays for such an awful game.


A feature of this game was a bunch of awful calls including Bush's 2nd TD, Stevie J's TD, the Dickerson turnover. I'd be madder about them if the game meant anything, but now its just time to relax and look forward to the Jets v Bills snoozefest next week.
