The Miami Dolphins welcomed the Buffalo Bills into Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday night and were defeated 21-14.
Mike McDaniel’s team didn’t play their best on either side of the ball. They may have taken the ball away from Josh Allen and company three times, but they didn’t make key stops on plays that they should have. Miami’s offense also went silent in the second half, as they punted four times (one of which was returned for a score) and threw an interception to end the game.
Throughout the contest, Dolphins fans on social media were not happy with their team’s performance. Here’s what they had to say:
Achane was WIDE OPEN down the sideline and Tua stares Hill down the whole damn time

Even when Eli Apple does something good….

i would have killed to let achane not get hurt this year, what a special talent

Hell of a play by Van Ginkel taking Diggs completely out of the game

DeVon Achane took Poyer's ankles lmao

Old stubborn Fangio won't take Apple off Diggs lmao

Mike McDaniel has really had an awful game in play calling.
Love the guy, but he just doesn’t grind games like he should.
Some horrendous drives in second half.

FANGIO WHY IS INGRAM IN COVERAGE
— Grand Admiral Drac (11-5) (@Drac72) January 8, 2024
Whoever tricked me into thinkin Fangio was some defensive mastermind I wish the worst for u
— Phins ❤️🩹Tua (@TheOnlyET96) January 8, 2024
Dolphins offense in big games really has been the perfect combination of Tyreek Hill drops, bad play calling, followed by a bad Tua interception.

The Miami Dolphins just letting Josh Allen run rampant is ridiculous! They need to step up and stop him. It's like they're not even trying. #Finsup
— Andrew (@andrewsofamous) January 8, 2024
McDaniel, tua, defense everyone chokes
— Suiko (@SuikoR6) January 8, 2024
If you're surprised that Tua threw a pick to end the game, you're a sweet summer child with hopes and dreams. That's precious, but don't let this Miami Dolphins team delude you. You'll only get hurt. Trust me.

Everyone is going to put this on Tua and maybe rightfully so. How many times was Cheetah off the field when it mattered (Tua’s last INT top of mind) and how many dropped passes by Reek too? Dude is great but he hasn’t shown up once in a big game for the Fins all season #FinsUp
— Hoyl’s Heaters (@billyhoyl) January 8, 2024
Sigh. I’m sick. Literally sick to my stomach. BUT – I LOVE MY TEAM. AND LOVE THOSE GUYS & THEIR HEART. 🐬🐬🐬🐬 We have a TON of injuries. They are FIGHTING. I stand with my FINS. ALWAYS!! On to KC. #finsup @MiamiDolphins we love you!!!!
— Heidi Personett (@HeidiPersonett) January 8, 2024
Miami Dolphins, you are stupid! I do not want McDaniel or Tua on the team anymore! They are not it. Josh Allen is it. Unfortunately for the bills he’s all that they have as he’s the only player they have but we lost him. I’m counting our season as done. #finsup
— Daniel K Barone 愛が答えです (@Dankbarone) January 8, 2024
2 minutes against the bottom-feeding Tennessee Titans ruined this season for the Fins.
Beat Tennessee, we win the & rest everyone tonight. We blew our second chance, and now prepare for our annual first round playoff exit. #FinsUp
— Mike MacGregor (@__MIKEYMAC__) January 8, 2024
Still believe in the fins and still believe in Tua. Regardless of how the playoffs go, they’re building something special in Miami. #FinsUp
— Doc ^-^ (@DocRL_) January 8, 2024
Be nice if we weren’t ending the game with our WR as Berrios, Claypool and… Cedrick Wilson?
Tua has to make a play though—Tyreek and Terron had rough games, no one on the offense stepped up to help the defense except Achane, and McDaniels pulled the ball out of his hands.
