    " As Dolphins players scattered into the night after Sunday's once-in-a-generation flogging, their coaches were in a police convoy, headed back to work.

    It was a late Sunday evening — or more likely, a very early Monday morning — at the Dolphins' Davie training complex for Joe Philbin and his staff. They wasted no time sorting through the carnage from just hours earlier, a game in which, as offensive coordinator Mike Sherman put it, "we looked like we never practiced a day."

    No time to wallow in self-pity about the 37-3 thumping by the Titans, however. The Dolphins had more pressing matters: preparing for Thursday night's game in Buffalo.
