One last shot for the Dolphins to get a win before terrible Tua comes back

 

[psaboy]

Doubt they get a win with the Jacoby nightmare playing QB. I know it is not all on him. The play calling really is terrible and the D made the Colts O look good. Most certainly to be 1-4 after next week. Terrible way to start season after getting W at NE

Jakeem Grant traded to Chicago for a sixth rounder in 2023

Fins moving ball well so far. The negative part about this game may be having to deal with Tony Romo commentary for 60 minutes.

Settle for 3 after stalling from a penalty

 

[Paolo305613]

TB takes the lead. Fins bring the pressure but as too often happens - they dont have the discipline on the back end of the play to finish it off successfully.

 

[Paolo305613]

Back and forth we go. Fins back in the lead after a nice throw and catch between Brissett and Gaskin.

Miami Dolphins: Tua Tagovailoa's future with team in question, per report

...

247sports.com

A recent report on how Flores did not want Tua(rightly so). Now, his job status is tied to that bum- he has to keep defending a guy he knows does not have what it takes. With Jacoby looking banged up now -- the Dolphins could be in even more need of QB help. Get Watson or Newton or just go with Sinnett until they can draft a guy.

 

[Paolo305613]

Third and short and the Dolphins OC's select for a pass play rather than trying to establish the run and fail on third down and help the Bucs continue with momentum. They need to stop trying to go for the big plays and go for the smarter, higher percentage play call instead.

Dolphins defense getting torched. And, Xavien Howard is non-existent unless he is getting an INT.

 

[Paolo305613]

A turnover on what looked like a promising drive for the Dolphins. That was a moment to run the ball with the time out in hand -- just to soften the defense and come up with another play on the next one. That play simply took too long to develop. The play calling has to be better for the Dolphins for the defense to be effective and help an ineffective defense.

 

[Paolo305613]

Down 14 at the half but TB gets the ball to start the second half -- might just be a matter of time before this one is done.

 

[Paolo305613]

The Gaskin Drive puts the Dolphins back in the game... for now

 

[Paolo305613]

This one is over. Run game was not leaned on enough - defense was virtually none-existent. Fins fall to 1-4 as they head to London( this needs to stop) to face the Jaguars. Unfortunately, the Dolphins were unable to take advantage of Terrible Tua's absence. Maybe they get another chance -- as maybe he is sat for another week given the long trip.

They've lost three in a row and somehow it's Tua's fault? I thought Brissett played better today but he's obviously not the answer at QB. I don't know if anyone could help this team especially with the D lifeless. The O needs to put up 50 to have a chance to win...not happening with Rogers, Watson, or anyone...

You got outplayed by Superbowl champs.
From what I saw (1st half) your team played well.
Nothing to be ashamed of.....

What happened to the D?? I thought they were supposed to be a top 10-15 unit this year. They are ranked 30th and don't they have two of the highest paid secondary players on team?
