I only watched the game from about 2 minutes remaining in the 3rd Quarter to the end of the game - the meltdown. The reasons for the loss are: loss of L. Tunsil and to a lesser extent the huge penalty on T. Macdonald. Sam Young is not a starting caliber Left Tackle. Without Tunsil, the whole flow of the offense got disrupted as we tried to compensate for him with TE, etc. Ted Larson had some problems too. I can't tell but may be Cincy loaded against our left side not to mention they have some good DLine players against our backup LT, LG and C. Another reason for the loss is bad decisions once or twice by Ryan T in Quarter 4. As a veteran, he should be better in those situations but the loss of Tunsil had a lot to do even with that. I see a lot of negative posts. Either these posts are unreasonable or not everyone sees the same game the same way. We all are entitled to our opinion. Without the injuries, we win this game on the road going away, simple. If some guys - LT, Wake, Parker, Derby - come back from injuries in a week or so, I think Miami has a solid chance of 8-8 or going to the playoffs. This team even today shows promise, no question in my opinion.
