We have allot of positives to take away from this game, unlike the game against ravens. We have a couple holes and we must accept that over the middle we're gonna get exploit. However if we don't give up the huge play such as the Edelman big td, there is always a chance of many random factors occurring during a long drive that could favor us.
Our defense as the game continued were bending but not breaking. Held them to multiple fg. So yeah our defense isn't elite but it is capable of playing good. We just need to play physical and Maxwell coming back will assist us.. and we need our d line to step up as big as they ever have against big Ben.

Offensively we should attempt to get the ball at first as opposed to kicking off. That way we can get ajayi going early, instead of playing catch up. Matt Moore did okay, I personally am not impressed but he manage to get it rolling as the game continued.. so he can build off it going into next week.. However our best chances are with Ryan tannehill. Lastly get grant out of PR, the kid has terrible hands, you can't teach him to catch, at this point in his life he is what he is regarding catching. You can teach things like route running, but not catching to a grown man.. time to send him to practice squad. Teach Drake this off season, he's been a stud on KR.

Anyways I believe in the dolphins and think we have a great shot in beating the Steelers.
 
I wouldn't say good because down by 20 and not a first down until just before half or so is awful. This won't make us winners most of the time especially against good teams. Defense sucked.
 
Like most NFL teams the Dolphins were their own worse enemy in today's game.

We started flat - its a BIG problem - and we have not gotten beyond this issue on our team.

We did not take care of the ball - cost us a shot at the game.

Team was physical and played with heart.

They got 3 or 4 or 5 big plays and we did not - they got 2 turn overs - the Edelman touchdown - and a ticky tack call from the refs that kept a scoring drive alive for them.

It was heart breaking for me to see them lose that way - knowing that if they could find a way to be more competitive and win those 5 plays in a game like that and make some breaks we could get them under our jack boot!
 
I agree, good wasn't the right wording. They were able to make a bad game into a decent game, to where they can build off it.

Ill finish the bolded for you: in the second half.

The first half was the most gutless, heartless play Ive seen from this team.

And, it just came to me, I should probably be giving Gase a plethora of credit for that.

edit: For the change of attitude coming out of the half.
 
I thought we were vanilla. What's my first clue? We didn't use TEs at all

We got beat by 21 points. We did not play good. We didn't even play fair. We had a lot of penalties and turnovers. We sucked today.
 
Sorry but when a WR drags 4 guys for 5 yards into the end zone I can't call that playing good. More like playing like a bunch of girls. I believe our team has played hard all year but today, Ajayi and Landry played their hearts out like they always do but that defense? They sucked all day

Ozzy rules!!
 
I think we are gonna see a great gase playoff scheme. Some stuff we haven't seen all year. Hopefully we continue some big plays and I bet gase puts some razzle dazzle trickery in for sure!!!
 
Would just be nice to see this team start a game firing on all cylinders. Four quarters of good football...well need it vs Pitt!
