Can Someone Fill Me In?

OK, As usual the game wasn't aired here and Miami gets either one play or no video at all during the halftime show highlights, so can anyone tell me what the hell went wrong to cause us to get shut out by the Browns? I heard about Zach going down, but he can't be the ONLY reason we got spanked. What was going on with the offense, and what was up with our D to give up 22 points to a rookie QB?

Frye didnt score.. Dilfer scored.. Reuben Droughns annihilated the D on the first play for a 75 yard TD.

Well I didnt see the game either, but I lust looked the the stats, and well.....OUR QB'S SUCKED IT UP! But our running game was really good.

Running game was good. Gave up TD on oppostions first drive AGAIN!. Tried to play the field position and that failed. Sage was ineffective to say the least. 2 INT's didnt help. No 3rd down plays on Offense AND defense AGAIN. Defense was abused AGAIN. Sound familiar. We had chance to get a couple of useless FG's but we needed TD's at time so 22-0 wasnt the total story but 22-0 it was so there ya go. Worst we played this season.

Was this game anothe rcase of us passing the ball when our QBs were sucking while Ricky and Ronnie were getting the job done but not getting carries?

To some extent - our running game was getting 5 yards here, 8 yards there, 2 yards there - problem is, the defense could not stop the browns so the score was getting out of reach by simply running every down. There has to be balance but we could not throw when we needed it.

Point is, there came a time in this game when we had to throw and abandon the run and we couldn't do it

 

[Agent51]

well thanks for all the input, maybe its a good thing it didn't air here cuz I would have been screaming at the TV and I woke up with a headache already, lol.

basically, the team looked like they were playing a pre-season game. they have gotten worse every week...a little trouble with the "process, relative to..."

we were awful 51, just awful. the very first play from scrimage was a 76 yard run that went all over meaning it wasn't a straight shot in. We missed a lot of tackles. this seemed to set the tone and we proceeded to suck it up in all phases except running. We could not stop their run so there was no catching up with OUR run. We really stunk, the other coach even saw fit to give his rookie QB some reps because we were so hapless. They were using us as a practice tool before it was over. Schulters got knocked out but came back in Zach is out no word on that. JT was dinged for awhile, we just stunk.

sounds like a train wreck. I can't believe our D is like this now, we were one of the the top Ds in the league til the last two years, what the hell is happening to us.
