Dolphins fans criticize Mike McDaniel for his terrible plays against the Bills

Mike McDaniel's arrogance is clear to see, and Miami Dolphins fans are having none of it. The Dolphins are being dismantled Football on Thursday eveningand McDaniel is a big reason why.

His final drive of the first half was completely unacceptable. McDaniel was down 24-7, calling running plays, not using his timeouts, and his team looked more like they were just trying to get to the locker room.

They had to settle for a field goal after barely testing the Buffalo Bills defense in the end zone. McDaniel wasted too much time on his plays before finally using his timeouts. It was as if the Dolphins were defend a lead, not a deficit of several points.

The first half couldn't have gone much worse for the Dolphins.

Tonight was a joke, to say the least. McDaniel's moves are doing the Dolphins no favors, nor is his selection of players. On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Dolphins fans and analysts have had enough and are no longer holding back.

The signing of Grant Dubose has been a mistake so far. His first appearance with the Dolphins was a deflected pass that Buffalo intercepted.

Dubose has been here long enough to know the playbook, but it doesn't show. Robbie Chosen obviously doesn't know where he belongs, and that's a problem. Without a solid number three wide receiver, the Dolphins' passing game is ineffective because there are no threats other than Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Buffalo can handle them just fine.

Running the ball was successful, which means McDaniel will step away from it in the third quarter. So far, it's the only part of the game that's working. Fans aren't thrilled to see the same plays the Bills have been developing. On third and one, everyone knew Alec Ingold would get the ball. He lost a yard, and of course, McDaniel tried it on the fourth attempt and Tua got a sack.

The game isn't over yet, but McDaniel and the Dolphins need to make serious improvements.
