Clean up that stuff and the rest of the season takes on a promising\u00a0look.<\/p>\n<p>David Furones, Dolphins Writer<\/p>\n<p>The Dolphins fought hard. It was an impressive showing with how challenging of a gauntlet it was to travel to Buffalo and pull it off on a short week, but it still wasn\u2019t good enough against the AFC East power that has owned this franchise in recent years. The result still left me encouraged with what the team can do following a long rest with a little bit of a soft part of the schedule coming up.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Svekis, Assistant Sports Editor<\/p>\n<p>The Dolphins fought valiantly, but Buffalo extended its NFL-record streak of not losing the turnover battle in a game to 25 consecutive contests, and for the ninth time in franchise history, the Dolphins are 0-3. This sort of performance will win games for Miami, but they are now in a deep hole.<\/p>\n<p>Keven Lerner, Assistant Sports Editor<\/p>\n<p>The Dolphins have rarely been an easy out in Buffalo under Mike McDaniel, but the NFL famously doesn\u2019t give much value\u00a0to moral victories, and now the Dolphins are in a deep hole. Tua had a couple good drives, but another wrecking turnover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Quick thoughts from South Florida Sun Sentinel staffers on the Miami Dolphins\u2019 loss to the Buffalo Bills at&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":379290,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2048],"tags":[215,214,53,2086,7,4704,251,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-379289","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-buffalo-bills","8":"tag-bills","9":"tag-buffalo","10":"tag-buffalo-bills","11":"tag-buffalobills","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-highmark-stadium","14":"tag-miami-dolphins","15":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115228815252915864","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=379289"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379289\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/379290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=379289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=379289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=379289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
