This is year 2 of the rebuild. This team needed to be humbled by this loss. Tua needed to be benched. With Tua and the teams competitiveness they may get 2 to 3 more wins this season.

I hate to see all of the lashing amongst us after a loss.

I believe in Flores and remain optimistic about this teams future.

Let's keep things in perspective.
 
I'm a believer in the idea that you can learn a lot from failure. It's an opportunity to sit down and think about the hows and the whys of why you failed, and then to do something about it.

Stupid people can't do this. They make excuses, or just lack the mental acuity to take the next step.

Tua isn't stupid.
 
The whole team, including coaching , was flat today. Never thought i would say this, i feel Flo was out coached today.
 
Given how we were exposed on offense, how we have a brutal four game stretch to close the season, and how we lost ground to flat out more talented teams in an immensely talented AFC this year, this game was just a tragic blow to our playoff hopes. So its hard to feel that excited about moral victories. I know it wasn't going to be a Super Bowl year but playoff berths themselves bring me a lot of joy...and if your roster and coaching staff isn't built on a shaky foundation one playoff berth usually leads to bigger things later.
 
We had 5 straight wins. This was a bad looking loss but it's still only one loss. We're 6-4 and have a lot of work to do to clean up what happened. Still we held them to 20 points and if the offense was clicking at all we would have won the game. We came away without any bad injuries and have the Jets to beat up on next game.
 
Saw this coming. We were flying way too high. Defense and ST have carried us for the last couple of weeks. Tua's clock needs to get better. Running game need to show up. This is fixable!!!!!!!

PS: We really missed CW!!!!!!!
 
One game isn't a huge call for alarm. Next week will be a very winnable, bounce-back, game.
But what does concern me a bit is this was game 2 for Tua where he had under 100 yards.
It doesn't all fall on him, obviously, but not cracking 100 yards as a starter is a bit alarming. Weapons or OL be damned.
Now, we have seen him play well, like last week vs the chargers, so it's not like he's struggling every game. And he has traits that show that he could be a special QB in the NFL...

The first game was against the Rams where the defense bailed out the offense and well they could focus on top/clock then needing to play catchup.

Was it just a perfect storm of playcalling, line, rookie-ness and no talent at WR outside of Parker?
Possibly. Just crazy to see this happen twice.
 
Boy , did we get spoiled or what? Haha. I would rather talk about this current situation today than the last 20 brutal years. I think everyone here loved the five game winning streak and thought it would go on the rest of the year. Get over it, this is the NFL and to be honest this loss is a good thing. These players probably started believing their own bullshit. Hey, we are not a "good team" we are a team on the rise playing better because we have a competent coach. We are going to lose more games this year, get used to it, but we are going in the right direction. I just hope Tua learns form this outing. He was clearly uncomfortable right form the start of this game.

Click to expand...

You never thought 2 year coach Flo and staff could acutally be outcoached by another caliber NFL team? Interesting....
 
Tua, the rookie O-line and the D-line having one bad game does not a bunch of busts make. The team will all be taking lumps this season, even more so with no pre-season. Season is a literal trial by fire.

I trust Flores to help them learn from the mistakes of this game and get ready for the next game, and I like being able to say that about a Dolphin head coach.
