If you were unable to watch today's game because a bunch of popular streaming sites got taken down, then I envy you. You missed an ugly football game.

- Devante Parker inactive. Insert commentary here.

- "Running into the kicker" should not be flagged when the player is pushed into the kicker. Likewise, Adam Gase should not challenge that if the video can't prove the ball was touched. You had a TV break to think about it and still couldn't figure it out? Dolphins need new review guys.

- I'm not sure that this is REALLY a positive, but Travis Swanson looked no worse than Daniel Kilgore. I mean really, I thought he looked better today than Kilgore did weeks 2-4. One game sample size, yeah, but Swanson looked fine. Wasn't terrible today, even in the second half when everyone was shitting the bed.

- I'm going to go ahead and say that teams are going to stop trying bubble screens in the direction of Minkah Fitzpatrick.

- Jakeem Grant needs more opportunities. Don't care if he still makes mistakes in the passing game. Get him more opportunities.

- Jerome Baker is a quality linebacker. Charles Harris just isn't athletic enough to be a good pass rusher. That's all I got on those two.

- Offense needs to score more points. The defense played lights out today, but you're not up against dim bulbs like Bill Lazor every week. Gotta score points.

- Who is this Spaight guy? You made a routine special teams tackle on a guy who was boxed in on the sideline, and you decided to get up in his grill about it? Congratulations, moron, that's fifteen yards. I'd cut that guy in the parking lot after the game.

- Ryan Tannehill, what the **** was that play? On that first defensive score, if you're going to throw it away, throw it away. If you're going to eat the sack, eat the sack. Awful.

- Adam Gase, you are part of the problem. The offense is playing back on its heels because you have it playing horizontally. Get vertical or keep losing football games. And it doesn't need to be 40 yards vertical. Ten yards will do.

- The Dolphins offense has been a complete and utter disaster during this road trip. You've got a net score of 3 points in two games, and that's counting plus seven points of garbage time production from your second string offense? You got a problem. You got a big problem.

- Quarterback play - Awful. Pass protection in the second half - SOMEHOW EVEN WORSE THAN AWFUL. Penalties - Awful. Play-calling - Awful. This is disaster territory.

- The Dolphins defense played very well today. The Cincinnati offense was impotent for most of the day. The special teams for Miami were also pretty good. The offense, despite converting some third downs for once, was dreadful.


3-2 is a reasonably good record. 3-2 is where I thought Miami would be after five weeks, and I thought we were a 9-10 win team. But 3-2 with a completely non-functional offense that simply can't score points on the road, and a team riddled by injuries? That's cause for alarm.

Going to be a long week.
 
Simple:

1. Done with Gase
2. Done with Tannehill

Will not attend another game, or buy another piece of Dolphins related anything until both are gone. I have tickets to the Patriots and Jets games that I won't use, give away, or sell. Let those seats stay empty as they should.
 
A lot is ****. But 3-2 is still better than O thought we would be after 5 games
 
- Ryan Tannehill, what the **** was that play? On that first defensive score, if you're going to throw it away, throw it away. If you're going to eat the sack, eat the sack. Awful.

I think he was throwing it at the feet of someone, but should have just held on to it and taken the sack like he has before.
 
we are 3-2 but it's after being 3-0. we've lost players, have an incompetent QB and haven't scored in weeks. this team is trending to 5-11, it's ugly and it's going to get uglier. this coach and QB just don't have it.
 
Or how about throw it in the seats like good qbs do
 
The problem isnt being 3-2, it's the complete backslide underway. The complete thrashing in Foxborough that our team wasn't prepared for and once punched in the nose, folded...CS included.

Then a week later, you can't put away a opponent after taking a lead. Shoot, just look competent.

It's not because they lost, it's how they lost. I hope we can put to bed that Gase had a master plan last week of keeping his offense buttoned up because they were never going to win that game.

He was in the pocket, so it had to be in the vicinity of a receiver. With that said, it was a putrid throw-away attempt. Eat the sack or throw it into the dirt where it's clear. Don't throw it into a mess of bodies.
 
I would have been ok with a 3-2 start before the season. This is a bad 3-2. This team has serious issues. Miami is not a good team. I will say the defense has been a pleasant surprise.
 
Tough offensive game to watch......I agree, 3-2 is a good spot and I would have taken it prior to the season, but we can do better.

I'm not sure what Gase is doing, but this offense is regressing not progressing. Need to figure that out quick.
 
Sick of Adam Gase's playcalling. Skape made the post about it, the third and one play action bomb that went incomplete vaporized all momentum after two effective runs by Frank Gore. Stop being a ****ing showboat and run the ball on third and 1. It's simple.
