ORCHARD PARK, NY \u2014 The Dolphins believed they could win and they nearly did.<\/p>\n
Miami went into the Buffalo area with a plan to play physically and run the ball and they did.<\/p>\n
Of course the Bills have Josh Allen and he led the game-winning field goal drive in a 32-29 victory on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
It wasn’t quite as cold or treacherous as predicted by local weather experts.<\/p>\n
But we are all glad to be back in Florida after a tiresome three-game road trip.<\/p>\n
“I was very, very proud of the effort and the lack of excuses that were made in the locker room,” coach Mike McDaniel said Monday. “Now that I can talk about it, yeah that was difficult.”<\/p>\n

The Dolphins were 0-3 on that swing. But they should not feel terrible about their visit to Western New York.<\/p>\n\n
Many coaches believe “The Tape Don’t Lie,” and that list includes Mike McDaniel.<\/p>\n
“The game tape survives time,” McDaniel says.<\/p>\n
Here are some things we noticed in Miami’s loss at Buffalo:<\/p>\n
Strong run game blocking<\/h2>\n
Terron Armstead, Brandon Shell, Connor Williams and Robert Hunt, in particular, all did a really strong job in the run game on Saturday night. They were physical, aggressive and decisive.<\/p>\n\n
Miami came to Buffalo with a plan to be everything but soft and they were successful in that area.<\/p>\n
All credit to Armstead for playing through injuries to his toe, pectoral and knee, and playing well.<\/p>\n
The Dolphins certainly seem set at left tackle, center and right guard for the next few seasons.<\/p>\n
Raheem Mostert was outstanding and Salvon Ahmed was very good on Saturday night. But improved run-blocking in recent weeks by the line have been a critical factor.<\/p>\n
