we always get conservative at the end of games. its bs. put your foot on their throat and finish them. such bs
 
Same old dolphins. Fail to get a td late, settle for fg , then allow the gw td to lose it. I've seen this exact game at least 3 or 4 times every season for the last decade. Sadly I knew when we were in scoring position how the rest of the game would play out. :(
 
we lost to a very tough team but this is the very good team we should have beat. You do not give Rodgers or a stacked lions O ball back with that much time. its sickening.
 
we're a few o-line players away from winning a game like today. next year, we win a game or two like today or the GB game, if the o-line continues to piece good players together as it has.
 
It's simple: we have a coach who plays not to lose instead of to win. When that occurs, you usually always end up losing.

im a coach and have been under this type of head coach before. we would always argue about it. I would always tell him play to win the game. but he played to not lose. huge difference
 
Where was the read option today? Did Tannehill run today?

If we employed that to pick up first downs, we would get the first downs and ice the game, IMO.

I was trying to stay positive and say we lost to a powerful team in their building, but it was our game to lose at the end and we lost. Just can't sugarcoat that.
 
Tanny had some roll outs today. The Lion d line was expecting us to run out the clock. We did. Why not roll Tanny out or run a qb sweep. Idk..

Tannehill would have got destroyed if they tried to read the read option. Detroit was constantly hitting Tannehill on handoff out of shotgun to a point where I saw him throw his hands in the air a couple of times to show he didn't have the ball. Detroit was waiting for it. The 1 time I remember us running it he got hit for a 3 yard loss? as well.
