Brandon Marshall caught 11 passes for 106 yards and a touchdown as the Dolphins fell to the Bills 17-14 in Week 15. The Dolphins have been officially eliminated from playoff contention, but it certainly wasn't Marshall's fault. The Fins got him matched up with burnable Bills RCB Drayton Florence for much of the game, and Marshall simply out-physicaled Florence in a chain-moving effort. Having missed two games, Marshall is on pace to finish his first season as a Dolphin with an 82/932/4 line. He'll look to up that pace against the Lions in Week 16.

“I want to apologize to the defensive guys, especially the players. All year they played their hearts out, they played together. They played like a unit’s supposed to play,” said Marshall, who is playing his second game since being sidelined by a right hamstring strain. “Offensively all year we didn’t get the job done. We didn’t make enough plays. Today we didn’t get the job done. It’s embarrassing. It’s just a shame.

“When you have a defense like that …you don’t have to be great as an offense. You just have to be okay and we haven’t been that all year and it’s embarrassing. So, I apologize to each guy on the other side of the ball.

“I’m held accountable too. I’m not pointing fingers at anyone on the offense. It’s all of us as a group, coaches too. We just didn’t get the job done [against the Bills] and it’s been that way all season.”

Marshall had a good game (finally) but that whole game it appeared he was still ready to go off & do something stupid. And just in general I still think he is a volcanoe awaiting to erupt.

I fell his pain... I too am ready to erupt when I watch that crappy offense fail to execute....

Interesting how going into the season I'd bet most thought that the defense would be the liability and the reason Miami might be a .500 ball club. The ground game, the young QB with the big arm, the Marshall acquisition...a lot of people thought this team would be putting up some numbers and excitement.
