The Defense gets it for me 

Chris Clemons was all over the place.  He gets my game ball.

The whole defense played great.  I just wish the DBs could catch the balls that hit them in the hands.  There are no excuses for those dropped touchdowns.  Conceivably, it could have cost us the game.

I second Clemons!  Needs a haircut........but he was a Monster.  Crowder who!?
Misi also looked great in his first game.   But that special Teams punt to the 1 yd line really took the momemtum away from the Bills that were coming on strong.

Mine goes to Kacy Rodgers - Defensive Line Coach.

Our line had penetration all day and made for no Bills momentum.

Dansby - big stops in key situations.  Great 1st impression from our offseason pickup.

Only got to watch the first 30 minutes of the game, then listen for 30 more minutes on my phone through iheartradio on my way to work, but I have to say Mike Nolan gets my game ball....I love how crazy our defense was.  The looked like, dare I say, a pack of wolves out there (you know...because Sparano said "feed the wolf").  I was really excited to see guys running up to he line and backing off, and while guys were backing off, other guys rushed to the line...they didn't know where the blitz was coming from.

Clemons baby!

Clemons and Jason Allen.

Jason Allen gets shit on constantly by fans.  Today he played well, IMO, and deserves some props.  Woulda been nice if he didn't drop that INT for a sure score, but at least he made a play on the ball.

Clemons was generally all over the place and played well.  A huge upgrade over Gibril Wilson, IMO.

The defense, and I'm going to give one to Joe Berger as well.

My game ball goes to Jason Allen,

He was covering lee evans the entire game, evans catched 4 balls for an 8 yard average per catch. That allowed vontae to shut down the WR2 by himself which allowed for safety help in shutting down the running game.

he also downed that brandon fields punt inside the 1.

Chris Clemons gets my game ball...the guy was everywhere, and was in on quite a few more tackles than he ended up being credited with. We need that fire from our safety, and Clemons looked like he was bringing plenty of heat on every single play.

Honorable mention to DC Mike Nolan. Miami's D was a big concern coming into the season, and Nolan had them playing very well in the opener. The explosive CJ Spiller: 7 carries for 6 yards. Nice work there...

Ok, I'll agree that game ball goes to the D, but I'm still very skeptical.  It was after all the Bills and Trent Edwards who has no business being the starter for an NFL team and the D still managed to make him look good on one drive.

Game Ball to the defensive coordinator.  This defense was relentless.  Aside from that one drive, they shut the Bills down.  Holding CJ Spiller to 6 yards gave that rookie a lesson he'll never forget.  I'm sure Chris Clemons being from Clemson had something to do with it.

I am going with Dansby...he was an animal and all over the field yesterday!!!!!

it was a completely different dolphins defense sunday. all over the field, attacking, fast ferocious
just a beautiful display of defense.

A separate game ball from the one I gave to Nolan...

On behalf of every gambler who dropped cash on the Dolphins and gave 3-1/2 points...the game ball goes to Bills HC Chan Gailey. When Gailey decided to give Miami the intentional safety to try to get the ball back in better field position, those 2 "gift" points made a lot of Dolphins bets pay off.

...and no, I didn't wager on the Phins. ;D

I agree the Defense gets the game ball, they didn't give Edwards any time to pass all day.  On the other hand, the Dolfins O-Line gave Henne all day to throw the ball, it was too bad the O coordinator didn't call many long pass plays.  I was at the game and my Bills friends were complaining all day how Henne had forever to throw the ball, and when Edwards had the ball they were all over him.

I am going to go with Y-Bell.  Clemons played great but I think Bell played slightly better.

I can't argue with giving it to the whole defense though, lots of contributers this game.
