Knowing that we beat ourselves more than the other team pummeled us is a little better feeling. We absolutely beat ourselves more so than the 9ers beating us.

Tua hearing foot steps and seeing ghosts coming at him all first half is why we lost easily was suppose to be up 28-to 30 points first half. Mcd as usual schemed up some good plays to keep guys open all game. Bunch of overthrows and underthrows cost us.

i wont even start with the refereeing but Also on that first catch challenged. We have to be smarter and hurry up offense and hike the ball like new England used to so swiftly do. I notice the guys taking their time after plays like that. Gotta hurry it up and hike the ball kill any chance of challenges.

It's all fixable and will be fixed moving forward.

Please do not tell me that every loss that you are going to say that Dolphins beat themselves instead of giving teams their due credit for defeating the Dolphins
 
100% this was a winnable game, that's what makes it sting.
Having said that the 49ers are not pushovers either, they are a legit team that can go far in the playoffs.
Dolphins made too many mistakes and need to move on and focus on the next opponent.

Not taking anything from 9ers there D came to play and all those "almost" interceptions Tua threw in previous games they cashed in on them today.

But you can't tell me the first half we didnt have plenty missed opportunities. Wide open receivers overthrown. The 9ers didn't stop those and they couldn't stop them. We just missed them
 
Games like this will make McD earn his paychecks. The players came out not feeling comfortable. Way to many mistakes (inaccurate throws, dropped catches, penalties).

How do you teach your players to calm the hell down and let the game come to them? That is the the lesson from this game.

He's not wrong about this one. The Dolphins had guys open. Had Tua hit them the game would have looked a lot different.

Ok, that is just a dumb take. I’d rather say we lost to a better team and that’s that. And I wish we got flat-out beat because the way we lost was embarrassing I can accept if we actually lost flat out. But saying it’s ok that we beat ourselves is stupid. It ****ing sucks we beat ourselves and that should not happen. No silver lining in that. When you beat yourself it basically says you’re not ready for prime time. Yes, we did beat ourselves and that’s not ok, it’s disturbing
 
Lots of mistakes by the Dolphins…Tua poor accuracy day, Wilson fall leading to int., Sherfield dropping ball on 3rd down, Gesicki not making clean catch on 4th down when if Miami finished the drive could have got the lead late in game, X intercepting rather than knocking the ball down where Miami would have had the ball at the 39 instead of 19, porous defense on McCaffery TD to end the half, etc.

Waddle’s injury certainly didn’t help. Thought the refs helped out the 49ers as well, but hell I’m a Dolphins fan so I always think they got screwed by the refs.

As a Dolphin fan, this one stung falling behind Bills. Hope they kick the sh*t out of the Chargers next week!

Any update on Waddle
I know he came back into the game later

We could have and should have beat them silly.
 
The first over turned catch was weird because although the ball moved, his hand was under it and it never touched the ground. Anyone know what the rule is on that?
from my understanding usually in cases like this they'll keep it like it's called, bc i didnt think there was clear evidence it wasn't caught.

I haven’t heard any news on Waddle.

Did hear Tua further injured an already injured ankle. Not sure if that played a role regarding his accuracy today. Hoping it was just an off day.

Yes you have to survive the ground. For example same thing on the Poyer pick. Ball moved in his hands after hitting the ground. Never touched the ground and was overturned on replay for not surviving the ground.

I agree except today we REALLY did beat ourselves. That was blatantly obvious. Were you watching?
