How The Hell Did We Lose That Game??

Played a better team and got outcoached pretty badly. Offense put up 16 points, which isn't good, but Joe Philbin's decision to kick a 20 yard field goal and attempt a 53 yard field goal on 4th and short hurt. His decision not to let Carolina run out the clock and attempt a field goal also hurt.
 
Afraid to lose.

Second half again trying to dink and dunk our way to victory.

Lurch is bar none the most gutless head coach in the NFL.
 
They lost it because they're the Miami Dolphins, it's what they do.

We were NOT outcoached today. We had no reason to go for it on 4th. We had no running game
 
Football is 4 quaters all of our losses stem from this issue. I knew we lost game after the Nolan Caroll INT and we kicked a FG!!
 
Conservative coaching. Terrible offense.
 
Must not have been a dolphins fan long to ask that question. Same question I asked when Jumbo Elliot caught a td pass on a certain monday night game...or basically at least a few hundred times before...Typical M.O. of the cursed Dolphins. It hurts less as time goes on because you get numb to it. Welcome to the darkside. Put the kool-aid down and fasten your seatbelt on a ride into football purgatory.
 
I can't help but wonder how this game would have changed if they actually called the Luke Kuechly penalty in the endzone instead of picking up the flag. That would have been an extra 4 points for us and completely changed the outcome of the game. Carolina should be 6-5 not 8-3.....
 
Like Sparano, Philbin plays it close to the vest and like Sparano, loses more often then wins because of it.
