Tough game to sit through. I'm imho from what I saw, and I was right in row one on the fin side, is this team was just not prepared to play today. The whole team was flat had no energy and looked like they did not want to be there. Several of our dbs were limping around even before the start of the game. The defense was just pure garbage. Not much positive to take away from this one. I do have a video of the dvp td that I will post when I get home. Took place right in front of me. That was the only highlight of my weekend in Baltimore. Gonna go to the Jets game, hoping the team shows up for that one.
 
I'm not sure why we stuck to that stupid zone that left receivers with a 5-10 yard cushion all game? I had not seen that D all year. The Ravens did not even try to run. They passed all day and we couldn't stop it.

It was like the Patriot game....hate that defense.
 
That sucks. Going to be at Jets game as well. Flying in from Naples. Didnt show up for us there last year, but hopefully we turn a corner and find someone who can cover a TE! No Reshad, no Dion Jordan. LB's exposed. What has Walt Aikens been doing? Our safeties arent as physical as Jones.
 
At the game also. Bad scene if you were a Fins Fan. A bunch of them were at the game. Too bad the team gave them very few cheering moments. Good to be out with my son however. Still cheering for them. We couldn't take anymore and left after the last Tanny interception.

Yea it was bad; I was sitting all 22 view, and it was painfully obvious we needed to press and blitz. Flaccos timing was never disturbed.
 
There was very little life in the D today. A lot of walking on & off the field. The effort was lacking.

One of the things that struck me was how deep Rambo was playing. It was like he was in prevent on every down.
 
I flew to Miami couple year ago for my first at Miami game. We came out flat and also lost to Baltimore. Baltimore just owns us no matter what decade it is.

The Dolphins need a real defense and an offense that will take advantage of every opportunity they get to score if they want to beat Baltimore. Other teams do it, it's not like the Ravens were coming into this game 11-0. I'm tired of hearing the same spiel for this matchup since Jimmy left. "The team doesn't match up well with Baltimore". They haven't matched up with Baltimore for over 16 years time for the people running/coaching the team to fix that so we don't have to hear that lame excuse anymore.

Exactly. They destroyed the middle of the field with short passing darts, just like the Pats did. NE will do it again unless we shore it up.

We need 2-3 new Lb this offseason. Jenkins, Misi, and Paysinger can move on. We need some fresh juice from he position. Alonso can start with two new starters around him.

Lb, just like OG, are two positions the Dolphins have not been successful at developing.
