Against the Raiders, Colts, and Jags we took leads into the half.

Starting is not the problem, it is finishing games to win.

Flores has shown the ability to get early leads. It's closing games and coaching to win.

Until Flores learns to coach for the win, we will continue to lose games. We hang on to leads instead of pushing the envelope. I was begging for them to get another early touchdown against the Jags. Couldn't do it. Our kicking game is hurting us. Can't rely on kicking this year and have to be aggressive for touchdowns.

Last year Gailey was great at helping Flores finish games with complementary football. Haack and Sanders were awesome. This year multiple OCs and lack of offensive identity has cost us a winning record.

We're not as bad as our record. Usually teams that take leads into the half win games but we're not doing that.
 
We are a fumble away from 0-6. So we are actually worse than what our record shows.
And a couple of missed field goals away from 3-3 as well. Why focus on the negative?

Why focus on the negatives? Seriously? Really? We are 1-5. One and five. We lost today on an international stage to an 0-20 team that is a total mess. It ended our season. Itā€™s over.

This season already has a 35-0 shutout, OT loss, blowout loss and today a regulation ending FG loss. But why focus on the negative. Right. Things are looking up for this franchise!
 
Everyone should just watch the first Dolphins drive of each game. Bottle that enjoyment up and turn the game off knowing they will lose and go about your day.

And yet, some of us are choosing to remain positive. Not because I think the season is salvageable, have hope weā€™ll turn it around, etc. but because it feels better than dwelling on the negative. The negativity here is like an infectious poison and Iā€™m choosing not to let it get to me.

I thought we had the half time lead in the JAX game too.

There are a few reasons to play 'coulda' - some reasonable, some not. Miami is 1-5 and look very much like a 1-5 team. 'Coulda' been 3-3 or 4-2, IMO, isn't a reasonable discussion.
Now, I agree Mia has shown what it could be with better coaching. That's a legitimate 'coulda.' Start of games the O looks better, but slowly looks worse as the goal seems to be 'play not to lose.' The list of failures is long, but just a few . . . use of timeouts, play-calls in critical situations, moving away from what works, . . .
Maybe too much rambling, but you have a valid point. Coaching seems to start out OK, but end up fighting their demons
 
Losers have the mentality of ā€œwe could beā€! This is the Grier and Ross mentality!

I mean I don't necessarily disagree. We could easily be 4-2. We could easily be 0-6. We would still have the same weaknesses regardless of our record. Big takeaway from me is that the difference between a bad team and a mediocre team isn't that great. Difference between a mediocre team and a great team is the real leap.
