The Miami Dolphins problems continued this week, as they were beaten 19-14 by the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football. Miami has now dropped three straight contests, and don't seem to have any answers to how to solve their issues.
The Dolphins have a mini-bye week this week, with the team having 10 days between the Bills game and their Week 12 game against the Seattle Seahawks. During that time, Miami has to find a way to run the ball, get after the quarterback, and fix the offensive line.
Miami ran 58 offensive plays this week. Here is the break down of the Miami offense, by position groups:

Thoughts: Jerry and Martin each missed one play due to injury, and Garner filled in at right guard and right tackle on those plays. Otherwise, the starters played the entire game.

Thoughts: The Thomas getting more snaps than Bush streak continued this week, with Bush coming close to falling below the majority of snaps played this season. The team is using Thomas more on passing downs to provide pass protection, plus he has become the third down back, meaning Bush is simply standing on the sideline more and more every week.
