Dolphins vs Bills home game Summary 12/4/05

Grading the Dolphins

QB Frerrote was average in more than a half. He wasn't helped by dropped passes. Bu the story of this game aside from Chambers was backup QB Sage Rosenfels, in less than a half he was 22 of 37 for 272 yards, 2 TDs and an INT, including the game winner on 4th and goal without the opportunity to talk about it as the clock is running out (the previous play ended in bounce with no timeouts). Rosenfels more than deserves the perfect grade, so wel'll forger Frerotte's performance and give this grade to Rosenfels - A+

RB Ricky and Ronnie played OK. The Bills went up 21-0 really early so the running game wasn't a big part of the game plan as the game went on. Ricky finished with 46 yards on 11 carries and a TD (he also had 32 yards on 6 receptions). Ronnie only had 22 yards on 9 rushes but scored on a 23 yard pass. B

WR They did drop a few balls... but does it matter ? The performance of Chris Chambers, 15 receptions for 238 yards and a TD (those are real numbers) are both franchise records, the yardage mark breaking a 20 year Duper record (Mark "Super" Duper's record was 217 yards) and the receptions mark stood for 17 years (12 held by Jim "Crash" Jensen). His last receptions was the winning TD on 4th and goal as the clock ran out... Brilliant, amazing, unreal, perfect. A+

OL They actually did not play very well. The QBs were rushed most of the afternoon, the running game did not get its needed blocks and to top it all they jumped offside way too much. They should bounce back next week. D+

LB Not taking away the brilliance of the 4th quarter, the first quarter was a joke. Pope is playing well but the defense just wasn't good enough at the begining. C

DL Following a dominating performance at Oakland they had a bad game. They missed Keith Traylor and it showed as Buffalo ran wild through the middle and there was no pass rush whatsoever. Rookie DT Manuel Wright got his first action of the year and colloected his first career sack. it wasn't the best of games although they did play well at the end. C-

Secondary Sam Madison, after 33 games, finally had an INT...The first quarter was a disaster in titanic-himalayen proportions. Bills' WR Lee Evans had 3 TD catches for more than 100 yards in the first quarter. The solid play at the end aside, it wasn't their best day. C-

Special teams A bad game. The Bills had a few good retunrs and the Dolphins didn't. Jones' punts weren't as usual either. Mare was solid. C+

Coaching W-o-w, what can you say, what an amazing game, they were a little lucky at the end, scoring on 4th and goal, getting a frist down via penalty at the end. The first quarter was a disaster, but the end was brilliant. B
