and it's all on McDaniels and his clock management, taking forever to send in the play, not giving his rookie QB time to do what QBs do before the snap...as if the rookie didn't have enough on his plate already.....at the end there it was like a fire drill, having to use all his TOs to prevent delay of game penalties, and they still got hit with another one at the worst time on 4th and 1 and this was even after a Bills player is hurt on 3rd down and there's time to figure out what play to call and get it in to Skylar they still couldn't get the snap off on time and instead was a 4th and 6...then pass incomplete.....game over, and of course no timeouts to stop the clock. I hope McDaniels gets drilled by the media on this, so we can be entertained by his cute witticisms...

what a battle by the Fins, the D was as tough on Allen as I've seen anyone be able to do it....Allen was rattled, they hit him and he couldn't run free....on offense Miami did enough to score when given the chance but no way could they drive the length of the field, with Skylar under pressure every time and of course missed chances downfield...he also suffered from a few drops, a couple of them what would have been long completions....the kid took one for the team, knowing the team had no backup QB...a few times he got up from hits looking like had to come out but hung in there.....

The Dolphins ran a complex offensive scheme this year. Might have helped to change some of that up for the rookie….but that ain’t McD is it?

Can't blame McD on this, he did his best. The NFL was determined Buffalo would advance. I'm no conspiracy theorist, but the end of this game was rigged. Laugh at me all you want, but Miami stopped Buffalo and was screwed out of a last possession. My hat is off to Skylar, he did well, considering he was a 3rd string QB. Nobody thought we had a chance in this game, but Miami made it tough. The Buffalo runner did not break the plane, it was pure BS.

Yep, good take. Your criticism of McDaniel is justified.

Agreed, Skylar sucked. He made some nice throws but also made questionable decisions on where to go with the ball. He missed wide open receivers. He also took too darn long in the huddle and trying to get the offense up to the line and set.
It’s not all on him though. Our receivers had some disappointing drops as well and our defense got chewed up for 34 pts.

that’s not what McDaniels said in his post game PC....he said he was told from “upstairs” they had the first down, “upstairs” means his coaches.

Sorry, that mess and others similar throughout that 4qtr that consumed all their timeouts (and in a couple of other instances where Buffalo bailed them out with TOs), is on the HC and his staff. Read what Armstead said after the game, he used the term “operational problems” in this game and also referred to other times in the season. One can only imagine what that circus was doing to the rookie QB, with the playoff atmosphere, the crowd.....

Quote:
Running back Salvon Ahmed‘s run on the previous play was close to a first down and head coach Mike McDaniel said after the game, via Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, that he heard “from upstairs” that they got the yardage needed. Officials ruled otherwise, however, and McDaniel said the shift from a first-down play to a fourth-down call caused confusion that led to the penalty.

In the postgame presser, McD looked like he just got a fistful of reality jammed down his throat and it didn’t taste very good. Hopefully this humbling experience motivates him.
