Unser Chat » Jay Cutler couldn’t escape questions over the Miami

ORCHARD PARK Cullen Gillaspia Jersey , N.Y. (AP) — Dolphins inconsistencies on offense all season long.The quarterback was busy confronting them again following a 24-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday that dropped the Dolphins to 6-8 and all but mathematically ended their already slim playoff hopes.Six days after Cutler threw three touchdown passes in a 27-20 win over New England to enjoy one of his best outings with the Dolphins this season, the 12th-year player was busy trying to explain the three interceptions he threw against Buffalo.“I’m not going to make excuses for the way I’ve played or the three turnovers. I’m responsible for all three of them no matter what the situation was,” Cutler said.“We’ve talked about inconsistencies all year,” he added. “When we win, we do a lot of good things right. And when we lose, wo do things like that.”Cutler’s outing mirrored that of a Dolphins season in which the team followed a 4-2 start with a five-game skid. Then, after winning the past two Rock Ya-Sin Jersey , Miami endured a familiar meltdown on offense and defense.The Cutler-led offense settled for field goals on its only two drives into Buffalo territory in the first half in a game Miami never led.Down 21-6, Cutler then threw two interceptions on the first two drives of the second half. Then, after punter Matt Haack recovered an onside kick at Miami’s 37 with 28 seconds left, Cutler volleyed a pass that was easily intercepted by Tre’Davious White to seal Buffalo’s win.Running back Kenyan Drake scored Miami’s lone touchdown on a 1-yard run.“It hurts,” offensive tackle Jesse Davis said. “We put ourselves in some bad spots. Got in the red zone twice in and should’ve capitalized on that, so that’s our own fault.”Miami’s defense endured its share of inconsistencies as well.After holding its past two opponents to converting just 1 of 24 third-down attempts, Miami allowed Buffalo to convert 7 of 15. That included two on the Bills opening drive http://www.indianapoliscoltsteamonline.com/ben-banogu-jersey , which running back LeSean McCoy capped with a 4-yard run.“We just made too many mistakes. We allowed them to move the ball, especially early, give them their momentum and we can’t allow teams to do that,” defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh said. “We’ve got to be able to get off the field.”McCoy scored twice, including a 16-yard catch, and with 50 yards rushing became the 30th player to top 10,000 yards.Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor finished 17 of 29 for 224 yards passing Parris Campbell Jersey , and also had 42 yards rushing, including a 9-yard touchdown run.The Dolphins have had little go right for them since starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill was sidelined by a right knee injury in August, leading to Cutler being signed. They were also playing their 14th consecutive game after Miami’s opener was postponed due to Hurricane Irma.“Yeah, I’ll think about that later,” Dolphins coach Adam Gase said when asked about the past.Cutler’s inconsistencies are well-documented.He’s never gone more than two games without throwing an interception. And Cutler has had back-to-back interception-free outings just six times — and none since Weeks 2 and 3 of the 2014 season when he was in Chicago.This year, Cutler has 18 touchdowns versus 14 interceptions and been picked off at least once in nine of 12 games.“Good teams find ways to do it game in and game out,” Cutler said. “The young teams and the teams that are struggling to figure it out Will Harris Jersey , they’re going to have to have ups and downs.”131<button class="view-gallery">View Gallery</button> Gallery:Miami Dolphins cheerleadersSteve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports | Steve Mitchell ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — A person familiar with the decision has told The Associated Press that the Buffalo Bills have fired special teams coordinator Danny Crossman.The person spoke to The AP on Thursday on the condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the move, which comes four days after Buffalo closed a 6-10 season.Crossman was the Bills’ longest-active tenured assistant after being part of Doug Marrone’s first staff in 2013. Injuries and a large offseason roster turnover led to Buffalo’s special teams’ struggles.The Bills finished 31st in gross- and net-yard punt averages, and 24th in kickoffs returns.Buffalo also went through two punters over the final half of the season after rookie Corey Bojorquez sustained a season-ending shoulder injury.Crossman’s departure comes after Buffalo fired receivers coach Terry Robiskie and offensive line coach Juan Castillo over the previous two days.
