There are a few plays that standout in what has been a disappointing season. Tua not sliding, getting a concussion, and missing four games. Mostert's fumble against Buffalo when Miami was actually dominating that game.

But to me, the play that most characterizes this season was Miami's last offensive play against Houston.

Tua throws a 50/50 ball to Hill, who initially has possession, but it's wrestled away by Stingley. A big completion to keep Miami's chances alive becomes a game changing interception instead.

The play showed a few things. One, Stingley was more physical there than Hill. We've all questioned the physicality of this Dolphins team. Two, it just showed that the other team had a little more desire. That's a desire play right there. Who wants it more?

The pass was also just a little short, or maybe it goes the distance.

A little short. Not quite enough. That's Miami's season in a nutshell.
 
I haven't watched the replay yet but apparently Duke Riley is to blame for that fake punt. Running wrong routes and missing assignments is a great way to lose games, that sums up the season pretty well

........sounds like coaching issues and being unprepared......like always in these "Litmus test" games.

It's true, seems like a lot of times this year the play calling was correct but the execution wasn't there. I like McDaniel but I agree with those who say we might need a "tougher" coach when things like that happen.

A QB should ALWAYS try to overthrow a receiver - particularly a fast one. Rather INC than INT

Eh, I expect the #1 rated player voted by NFL players and coaches to make that catch, he had both hands on it and had it ripped from him. Tua played bad but Hill needed to make that play. Thats another common theme, Hill also fails to make plays when we need him in big games. His worst games and worst drops are in big games too.
