It was a first half to forget: Punt-punt-punt-punt-fumble-int.-FG! Except for the ten-play late half field goal, the Dolphins offense once again stranded the defense with six consecutive four and out drives. Miami's offense ran 34 plays in the first half. The defense was out there for 53. For the game, the Dolphins' offense ran 48 plays and the defense, 92! Unacceptable!
Turnovers! Four of them doomed any chance the Dolphins had to pull this game out! Enough said!
The score might have been worse in the first half if not for the Dolphins punter, Matt Darr. He boomed four punts for a 50-yard average!
What's up with Mario Williams and Cam Wake? Williams had one solo tackle, and that was the total between them!
No Foster, no running game. Hurt, again. The Dolphins ran the ball 16 times in the game, with Tannehill accounting for six carries. Let me say that again, the Dolphins averaged 4.4 yards on the ground, yet ran the ball only 16 times!
The only thing the Dolphins seem to be good at is inflicting pain on opposing quarterbacks, they almost knocked Wilson out of the game last week and succeeded in knocking Garropolo out of the game yesterday!
Yeah, it's only 2 games, but the offense had better get it together before they dig a hole the team can't climb out of.

You really think they can climb out of THIS hole? Please… Name one thing this team is actually good at, other than running talent out of town.
I am the biggest homer. The only positive i could find is that the team kept fighting. If they can get a W this week maybe they can get some momentum for the season.

more worried about thr defense,you can blame the offense if u want but giving up 21 on the first 3 possessions to sny team and you will lose. we list at Seattle and new England, the same new England team that beat Arizona in Arizona. it will get better but we cant have a bad d and no running game or we are doomed.

Guys, thanks for your points of view!
Drumrboy, don't despair. There are still 14 games to go!
Gary, agreed!
Jason, you gotta admit, 92 plays for a defense is too much!
absolutely,but give up 21 on first 3 possessions and we won't beat about any team.
