Is it to early......Great game an all around perfect win offense ,defense, special teams.
I am going outside the box and giving it to Tony Sparano.
HM Chan Gailey lol.

its the start of the 4th quarter.  while they're up by 29 (soon to be 22), I still think its too early to assign game balls.

Yeah I know it was early but I am stoked best game I've seen dolphins play in a long time. I am guilty of premature celebration. I hope we have some gas left for thursday.

If it was the Giants playing the Eagles I would agree.  But I think Mia's lead over the Bills is safe.  

Matt Moore. Too soon to get overly excited about him, but I'm beginning to understand what all the talk was about in Carolina a few years ago. -EK

It takes time for a QB to develop and even for a fully developed QB to get use to the WRs.  By the time the Dolphins need to make a draft pick, they will have much better idea of what Moore can and can't do than anyone had at the begining of the season. 

I figure the offense was constructed to utilize Chad Henne's strengths and avoid his weaknesses.  Matt Moore is a different guy and so the game plan required adjustment.  You notice that Moore has been better but so has Reggie Bush and so has the defense.

Just takes time to adjust, I guess...?

I am liking it.They said its our highest scoring game since 2009 against the bills.

Very good defensive effort. Only allowed 6 defensive points, and 3 of those was from a 56 yard FG.

Sparano.  Everyone unit looked good.

Good game phins..

Defense once again shut a team down. Granted KC, Wash, and Buffalo aren't high scoring offenses. But I have said and will keep saying that since Week 1 this defense has been an above average to outstanding unit.

I mean Cam Wake has disappeared this year and been a non-factor and once Rashed Jones left the starting lineup the secondary has improved, but aside from that this unit has been stellar most weeks.

This is something that we'd hoped for at the beginning of the year, that the defense was going to be pretty good, and we'd hope for some improvement from the offense.  It started looking that way, with Henne playing better, but the defense was a turd out of the gate.  I wonder what happened?  Which is the true Dolphin defense?  The one that sucked to start the season, or the one shutting teams down now?

This also leads us to thinking about next year...does our defense need big changes?

Couple things in response....

1) Henne wasn't playing better. He is out for the year so not worth harping on it but he as bad if not worse than last year. This notion he improved is silly. He had a good opening drive on opening night after that it was all downhill and he sucked.

2) GOING FORWARD.. Miami needs to get YOUNGER on offense  (at both guards, RT, TE, and QB) and get more athletic on offense.  And the Fins need to get OLDER on defense (more experience in the secondary and a vet pass rusher). You can't fix all those problems in one offseason of course. But that's the blueprint as of today. Make a nice dent in it this offseason and hopefully polish off the job the following offseason.

The real test of how good this defense is will be Thursday.

Yes do they have gas in the tank for the cowboys. I am hoping so 12 quarters without allowing a td thats 3 games of D....And our offense is looking good I am giving Matt Moore props.Didn't like him Didn't want him GLAD HE IS HERE.

A lot of people deserve game balls for this nice win. Defensively we have shut teams down for 12 quarters and not allowed a TD. I wish they would have started the season this way but it is nice to see our defense finally come around. Offensively Moore has been very careful with the ball and making wise decisions. Yesterday his accuracy and leadership showed so he gets my gameball for the victory over the Bills.

Matt Moore..when you have a QB rating of 133, you played a hell of a game.


Honorable Mentions to Charles Clay and Yeremiah Bell..Bell actually looked like a ball hawking safety yesterday and Clay has really come into his own over the last few weeks. 

Matt Moore.  Did a good job spreading the ball around.  Moved well in the pocket.

Gas in the tank isn't what I'm worried about.  We saw what NE did with the multiple WR sets and Dallas has the best recieving TE in football and a premier WR in Miles Austin. 

If we can get to Tony Romo like we got to these other QB's we'll throttle Dallas.  But this is gonna be a test.

I agree that Dallas' TE is good, but at best he's the thrid best TE in football. Gronkowski and Graham are heads and shoulders better. Let's not get too ahead of ourselves on that. -EK
