No one should be shocked by all of the F’s, but you’re probably wondering why I gave the wide receivers a C-. 

The reason for that is the hope I got from seeing DeVante Parker on the field. Targeted seven times, Parker pulled down three receptions for 46 yards. Why only three receptions? His last four targets came in the red zone, and on one play he caught the ball but was shoved out of bounds before landing, and on the play after that he caught the ball before Ronald Darby broke the pass up. 

Before that, he had two targets in the red zone on a drive, but the pass was nowhere near him due to the pressure from Buffalo’s offensive line. 

He and Jarvis Landry (whom I fault for Tannehill’s first of three interceptions in the game) are going to make a great wide receiver pairing for years to come, which is what I figured when the Dolphins drafted Parker back in April. 

The question is, will Parker see more of the field in the coming weeks? He should. He looks ready to return and adds a weapon the offense is sorely lacking. 

As for the rest of the team, if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all, but since it’s my job to say something, I will. 

Ryan Tannehill rightly deserves his F, as he continues to struggle against the Buffalo Bills (he’s now 2-5 against them). Yes, a lot of that is on the lack of a run game and a poor offensive line, but at some point, it’s on him too. He gets too skittish in the pocket and forces throws too early. He did have a great drive when Miami scored a touchdown in the third quarter, and then he avoided a sack in the fourth quarter to connect with Rishard Matthews for Miami’s second touchdown.  The focus should be on more good games. 

The running game was non-existent, once again a product of a porous offensive line. 

Now on defense, once again there was no production at all. Miami forced no turnovers and no sacks. Once again on key drives the Dolphins managed to bungle a third-down stop with a bad penalty, something the special teams unit was able to do. 

This game was bad from start to finish for the Dolphins.
