Defense is playing well....unfortunately, our skill players can't hold onto the ball.

Jakeem is getting lit up, but he's small so that's expected...

Carroo siting....

Arian Foster looks good catching it out of the backfield...

Our corners are playing well. IAQ has a pick, and Reshad is beasting.

Problem is, Seattle has a damned good defense so it's hard to move the ball.

Stills major drop on a bomb where he was wide open, could have changed the whole game.

No Drake, no Pead love yet.

3-3 tie with a few minutes left in the half.
 
I agree we're hanging in there but honestly, we've squandered several opportunities. Gase didn't need to be so aggressive early...that was 3 points. And Stills lost us 7. We should have been winning based on the defensive effort.

Feel this one will be classic Dolphins...play up to our opponent but come up ever so slightly shy, like we did with Gase's Broncos.
 
I don't second guess the 4th and inches call. It would have shut the crowd up a bit.
 
I would've gone either way on that 4th and 1 call. Kick it because points are hard to come by. Go for it to take the lead. Easy to second guess after the conversion failed.
 
I understand the mentality so I'm not down on the call. I just think you have to know whether a game is going to be a shootout or a defensive struggle.
 
Wilson is hurting, but still may play (ankle).....this game is there for the taking right now!

Defense is playing their asses off....can the offense score??! That is the question.

If we take the lead, Wake, Williams and Suh can bring us home with their pressure.

GO Fins!!
 
Don't worry, the defense will break late in the game and give up when it counts.
 
Let's go defense!!!

Wilson is hurting, their offensive line is average as hell.....put Russell on his friggin' back and go home with the W boys!!!!

Fins up 10 - 6!!!
 
just reading this now - it's as if you wrote the script. Lol.

Watch the Fins your whole life and you know how it's going to go. You can change the owner, coaches and players, but when they put on that helmet, they choke.
 
We seemed to tackle much better than last season. I was also very impressed by the play of Quddus. An excellent under the radar signing.
 
I understand going for it but we were outside the redzone. Even a 1st down wasn't going to mean we'd get a TD. Best option would have been a FG that early from that far away from the endzone.
 
The D...other than the younger LBs, who should do nothing this week but run wind sprints until they vomit food they ate last Spring, really brought it. With a couple of minor exceptions.

It's nice that Kiko had some tackles, but it would be nice if they were closer than 7-10 yards downfield. I mean, that's Koa Misi's job.
