If you were one of the hundreds of millions who missed the Dolphins-Bills tilt yesterday, just know this: Miami might've played their worst game of the season. And at 0-13, that's no easy task. The team had five turnovers, rookie quarterback John Beck was benched after just two pass attempts, and backup Cleo Lemon got knocked down on roughly every other play. By the way, I don't know if it was by design, or if the right side of Miami's offensive line was playing a lot of pass-blocking-optional schemes, but Bills backup defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove was crushing Lemon for most of the afternoon.
Unsurprisingly, some Dolphins' players aren't all that jazzed with how things are playing out this season:
Everything had happened so fast, Dolphins left tackle Vernon Carey didn't realize how bad it'd actually been. Going over his team's 38-17 loss Sunday in Buffalo, Carey couldn't believe some of the things he found out.High school football teams everywhere would like to disagree.
He did know the Dolphins had reached a new low, becoming the first team since the 1986 Colts to start 0-13. But ...
"Eight fumbles?" Carey said to the fellow tackle L.J. Shelton. "We're playing like a (expletive) high school team."

hey, at least with all the losses they'll have a good draft choice.

i feel that the miami dolphins need to have miami northwestern (#1 high school football in the country) be the replacement team. the dolphins are playing like they were totally new to the game. if the dolphins can't run with the big dogs, then they need to stay home and let a real football team take over.

The Phins will get the first overall pick and this is good for them, but remember the Pats will get the 3rd oveall if those Niners keep eating dirt. ITS A BEAUTIFUL WORLD!

it's 13 games in and they're 13 games out, they only did half the work to achieve that but it's still pretty impressive. as much as i'd rather not see the Patriots win out the rest of the season, it'd be pretty awe-inspiring to see a 16 in the "games back" column of the standings at the end of the year. that achievement could stand for a while
