Something was wrong with his hand. It was getting worked on after the play on the sidelines. Hopefully just a cramp but there was obviously something going on with that throw that was out of his control.

It wasn't a trick play. Allen bobbled the snap on an attempted spike because we were missing our starting center and then he tried to make something out of it. Just another consequence of missing key players. There are myriad examples like this throughout the game. A hundred little things that all went Miami's way and eventually added up to enough for an inferior team to beat us.

This is so dumb. OP I hope one day you find something you care enough about losing to slam a clipboard against a table.

Josh should make this public. It is absolutely disgusting that Wilkins has repeatedly grabbed player's balls during a game. He deserves a suspension at the very minimum. In any other workplace he would be fired immediately. Allen has enough pull now that he could turn this guy into a pariah.

"...or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so."

The refs "missed" that and they "missed" another one of the Dolphins kicking our guy in the head on the SAME PLAY that they called Allen for a personal foul.

Yup. Miami will get the same treatment that NE got in our next matchup.

He missed a lot of plays due to cramps. And yes I was impressed by the defense today except that one 3rd & 22 play where they dialed up the 13 seconds defense.

Why? We only lose close games because otherwise we wouldn't lose at all (except that one Colts game we don't need to talk about). Do you think with a healthy secondary and Gabe and Stef playing at 100% this would have been close? I don't.

Yes, thank you. Obviously the number of losses matters for seeding but we showed today that it will take everything going against us (injuries, game condition, referees) for us to lose. At this point I don't even care if we have to play in Arrowhead again except that the fans who live in Buffalo won't get to see us stomp the Chiefs at home.

Yeah, we dominated despite everything stacked against us. So why worry? Either we get to the playoffs with half our team injured and we lose OR we get there with our team and kick the ***** out of everyone in our way.

We're past the point of being happy about wins we don't deserve. That's where Dolphins fans are today.

These posts only matter if you think these two teams are anywhere close to the same competitiveness. They're not. Miami played against a lot of backups and had every single detail break their way and still barely hung on. We'll win when it actually matters and Miami fans will be talking about this game for years because it's all they have.

When the referees let the opposing team knock the ball out and then make no effort to spot the ball in a timely manner then what are you gonna do? There was plenty of time for a FG after the McKenzie catch but they got screwed. I'm not gonna hold that against them.

The injuries do worry me for the future of the season. But that's not an indictment of the team. It's just luck, or lack thereof. No team ever won the Super Bowl without a majority of their best players.

Exactly. The fact that this game was even close has to gall Miami. They did nothing special against a squad of backups.

What does it mean? Besides a "1" in the loss column? You can't come away from that game thinking the Dolphins are a better team. They're miles behind. They got lucky breaks in their house. A house they can't even fill with their own fans.

Let's settle down and dispense with the overreactions. Can't win close games, Dorsey is worse than Daboll, McDermott doesn't know when to challenge, Beane doesn't address the offense. Give me a break. We played a game with half our starters against a good team with a historically bad officiating crew on their side in brutal conditions. And this game STILL wasn't even close in terms of quality of play. Give me this matchup in the playoffs PLEASE. Easy win and on to the next one.

Playing with half our starters and the refs giving the game to Miami all day long. Yeah, this doesn't bother me at all. Good luck even making the playoffs, Dolphins. Maybe we'll see you after we take a week off.

You are a joke.

And didn't call Miami for knocking the ball out of McKenzie's hand.

And the refs let the clock run out.

Wow they took about ten seconds to throw that flag.

That's PI. One chance for the refs to do something right before the end of the game and they won't do it.
