Miami DEAD LAST in 40+ yd passing plays..

[finomenal]

Look people...DEAD LAST...is DEAD LAST. You can't make anything good out of that. You can blame in the OL if you like, or Lazor, or Tannehill. It doesn't really matter. The fact that we can't go down-field means the D gets to compress us and we can't move the ball....and if you do...it takes 15 plays to score. That is very difficult in today's NFL.

Oh you just wait. FinHeaven can find ways to excuse away anything wearing Dolphins colors.

That another meaningless stat how many of those 40+ Yards plays were the ball thrown 40yards

It's not meaningless. Although the pass may not be 40 yards, it gives you an indication of the team's overall ability to create explosive plays.

Correct. This statistic is an indictment of:

1. QB
2. Offensive Coaching Staff
3. Other Skill Players

Fact is that with an offense designed to create YAC, you would think we'd have more plays that involved receivers busting loose and getting yards in the open field. If you watch Philly, that's a big part of their offense. We don't have that, and at some point you have to ask why we never, ever get those plays. I don't think you can blame that all on the QB. Or even the coordinator.

Not one part of our team performs when we need them to! Are we going to act like RT is the only thing that folds? Our coaches fold, our D folds, Our ST's fold, Our O line folds. Everything. Out of the things that have performed most consistently on this team RT may be at the top. Our D has had moments and probably won some games but have also cost us games.
