Our offense tonight did way more than enough to win this game despite all the crying going on.

scoring 30 isn’t good enough now we gotta score 40


I’m looking at you VJ for this loss. I don’t get it one game he looks great and aggressive the next it’s back to his old soft zone tricks. I didn’t see Budda crashing the backfield once on blitz packages.

we desperately need pass rushers

Agreed this loss to me falls directly on a D that could not pressure or stop a rookie QB all day long! Period! VJ sucks and it’s killing this team, we fight hard to score and take leads only to watch them instantly give them up...

They also gave 7 points to Miami. In theory the defense did enough to win if the offense doesn't gift a TD to Miami.

BS Kyler more than made up for his mistake by putting up a historical game for a NFL QB!
31-27 without the gifted TD to Miami.

Of course KM did enough to offset his mistake and of course the defense needs to be better, but we probably win this game without that first Miami TD.

Ok 31-7 if the defense doesn’t crap the bed all day?? See how that works...

A defensive TD didn’t make their rookie QB comfy all day and leave wide open wrs. Also Murray led the team and zeroed out that TD immediately! The defense lost this game period!

Were you expecting the defense to completely shut their offense out? What defense have you been watching this year?

I guess you missed the part where I said the defense needs to play better? I am not making the argument you seem to think I am making.

I am only stating that the KM fumble was a factor in the outcome of this game. In fact teams win a very high percentage of games in which they score a defensive TD (something like an 80% win percentage).

I understand it but that’s just not true. You don’t make up for points that never should have been scored to begin with. Minus that play we likely don’t lose. It won’t be the first time his ball security kills us.

Game ended after we scored to go ahead. We had Miami, 3 & 9 on 8 yard line with they defense exhausted waiting to come back in. Instead we give up a 6 min, 10 play, 93 yard td drive.

the same one that has given up ridiculous yardage all season and today against a rookie!
They gave 312 yards today. They need to be much better in the redzone than they were as 312 yards should not lead to 27 points (especially against a rookie QB).

What’s true is without Murray we aren’t even competitive! He again more than made up for a very early error where a guy came unlocked and made a play. Not the reason we lost that’s just dumb! The DEFENSE is the problem on this team period!

DEFENSE is a huge problem. But if KM throws it away, we win. Or maybe win, who knows? But it did affect the game in a huge way.

It’s 100% a part of the REASONS we lost. Listen it’s ok to criticize your star player when it’s deserved. You’re just being a total Kyler blowhard if you can’t recognize when he contributes to a loss. Not completing the pass for the first in the 4th which he SHOULD do. Did he make up for that too? We get it you love him. But he isn’t without flaws no matter how awesome he is much of the game. Those flaws contribute to L’s
