It's a slippery slope to set unrealistic expectations on a team where everyone knows is at best mediocre.
To infer that the Dolphins given a play here or there could just as easily be 5-3 vs 3-5 is bull****.
The cold reality is that the Dolphins coaching staff is going through as much a learning curve as the players are - this is seen by questionable play calls, game plans. Many explayers, sports analyst, excoaches have made this observation.
To blame the failure of a play because "the left tackle..." "had I known the left tackle wouldn't block his guy right I wouldn't have called the play" (Reverse on 3rd and 2) or to say " if the pass is a touchdown noone would question it" is an indication of refusing to admit the mistake.
It is the coaches responsibility to call the play that is best executed by his talent levels. To leverage his teams strengths and try to de emphasize the weaknesses. Knowing what your players can execute and what plays pose significant risk.
In addition, during the game, being able to observe and stick to what is working and avoid giving up negative plays.
These are all coaching. Player make mistakes, especially our players. We all know this.
So why put the game in jeopardy or call a high risk play that depends on one of the lowest rated QB's?
Why go away from success at running the ball straight at Atlanta's defense and try to get cute with a reverse. It didn't work in the first quarter.
Why didn't we at least attempt deep sideline passes to back off the corners and safeties?
Why didn't we send McMike deep down the middle to split the safties?
Where was the strategy against the cover 2?
Bad game plans have cost us this year.
This is not a 5-3 team or coaching staff and to say that a play or two is the difference is SPIN.
6-10 or 7-9 at best this transition year.
