Today Tannehill threw the ball well enough to win the game. The defense played very good against a potent offense thats been putting 30+ on teams all year. The complete lack of a running game simply put cost us a game we would have won easily if we had been able to move the ball on the ground. Trading Bush looks really stupid now especially since we didn't bring in a proven talented runningback to replace him. Ireland thinking we've got Miller and Thomas, we'll be fine is an epic fail that has taken all the teeth out of our offense. If you can't have a respectabe ground game it kills you on so many levels that I can't believe we didn't make it a priority during the off-season. I've seen cases where the o-line isn't doing the job in runblocking solved by bringing in a back that hits the hole with power and brings experiance and vision to the table. Philbin in his post game presser said that the complete lack of a running game MAY have hurt play-action. DO YOU REALLY THINK SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? Bush was moved out because of negative plays???? I must have seen 10 of them today!! We really cleaned that up!! We have to fix this problem to give us a chance to be a better team and we don't have the talent on our roster right now to do it so again Ireland has crushed us with his erroronious thinking. I'm a fan of Miller but he's a nice change of pace scatback. We drafted Gillislee(sp) but he isn't good enough to even be active. Another bust for Ireland?? No running game is killing us in the redzone, putting us behind the chains constantly, taking the threat off play-action off the table, murdering us late in the game when we need to rack up clock killing first downs etc. I think this can only be fixed in the offseason, that's the worst part of this. Meanwhile, it keeps costing us games.
