No ability to run for some reason.

Too conservative against a team we are better than. We continually play DOWN to the competition instead of playing with any sort of urgency. This is Coach Carroll's fault.

Horrible call against Earl Thomas for going to the head of Tannehill. This was a horrible call.

Dolphins are really good against the run. It didn't help that Bevell kept calling plays into their 2 strongest defenders.

running up the middl on a delayed handoff and a crappy marshawn run to lose any hopes of a winning field goal. very poor play calling

Sorry, but that call on Thomas was right. Rules are rules. As ticky tacky as the contact may have been, it was still contact with the head. End of story.

Our O-line was manhandled today. Lynch was lucky to even get 40 yards with the way those guys were playing. Although, flip that and the holding calls that weren't called really piss me off.

The broadcast crew was saying our Defense was gassed. I didn't see it. All I saw were blown coverages by Hill, Trufant, and even saw Thomas biting hard on play action. Dudes didn't seem to have their heads in the game.

Playing to not lose instead of to win. It was one of the things that always infuriated me about Knox (who was a much better coach than anybody who is on the field for the Seahawks now.)

Yup, that's how I've seen it all season. When the Dolphins scored, we finally opened up a little. Then, we get a lead and back it goes to the pathetic, predictable conservative playcalling.

Punt on 4th and 1 at the opponents 36 yard line or did I miss something? Miami drove that for 7 pts. To risk adverse

I agree the sprinklers did it.

6 penalties in the 1st quarter alone. Every time we got something going early, we shot ourselves in the foot.

Our defense is regressing against the run. With good run teams like Buffalo and SF looming, it's not looking good for us.

WRs were pretty good, but Baldwin dropped a deep one he should've had.

Our OL isn't very good. They're above average in a very OL friendly system. I still think we draft some more talent there, then LB, then possibly WR, although I'm starting to feel good about our corps.

"incidental" is a factor here and always plays a role, not to mention it was "unintentional" you just have to be smart enough to consider those factors, it was a bad call and many professionals thought so as well as many fans

good grief

Exactly,no confidence in his offense to get inches on that 4th down?? How bout not even attempting the 52 yard field goal an punting? I know field possession is big but have a little faith and or balls Pete!

Better team won. Stuffed it down the Seahawks throat and stuffed the run.

First 4 possessions were 3-n-out. Couldn't stop a rookie twice in the 4th quarter. It happens and kudos to the Phins
