Week 3: Miami Dolphins (1-1) @ Las Vegas Raiders (2-0)

[Emerica]

We are terrible on short yardage situations.

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!

[Emerica]

Credit where credit is due, very good drive by Brissett

Austin Jackson single handedly derailing our OT possession...

[Tetsujin]

I turned the game off at the wrong time 

[Emerica]

How many big catches are we going to allow??? geez

 

That was the difference in the game. They could convert on their big plays at will and we couldn't. Oh well, we did better than I expected

Miami has themselves to blame, that naked screen 3 yards deep in the end zone is one of the dumbest things I’ve seen this team do. I blame Brissett for throwing it as well.

If we don’t get that safety we win, if sanders makes that field goal we win. So frustrating!

Lots of things the Raiders could have done to secure the win earlier too fwiw, but I get what you're saying. Both teams had their chances and it was a freaking close one.

GG and good luck going forward!

Basically the whole game. Just don't understand how this guy is 100% worse in year two compared to his rookie year when he was half-decent. Left Tackles never recover from this level of regression. Done. Put'em out to pasture.

Another nail bitter in Vegas... 

Pass pro shaped up towards the end. Running game still looks pretty rough. Line doesn't get enough push to win in short yardage situations. Jacoby showed up big for us in the clutch. Raiders had more good WRs then we had DBs. Coleman I think got beat a few too many times. Crazy that Igbo can't crack the lineup as a former first rounder and help in the slot. That screen pass for a safety may be the worst play call I've ever seen by a Dolphins coach. Did Adam Gase sneak into our booth to call that one?? Still had an opportunity to win this game despite how terrible our offense looked for most of this one.

The o line wasn’t a flaming pile of garbage this time, perhaps there is hope that Tua won’t be murdered when he returns.

Notes:

- That screen pass in our own endzone. Wtf? Terrible play call and momentum killer. Not a fan of this co-OC experience so far. 

- Coleman has been bad. On the wrong end of many important plays. Wonder what his snap count is compared to Needham but they should lower it.

- OL looked better. Maybe last week was an abberation but i was surprised at the step forward they took as a unit. Still leaving a lot to be desired but this was a good DL they went against and they gave Brissett enough time on most plays. 

- Pass rush was pretty good in the first half. Was pretty much non-existant in second half. 

- Malcolm Brown is our short yardage specialist who can't gain short yards. Obviously OL factors here but come on bro. 

- We allowed too many big plays. At some point it felt like every deep shot they took that wasn't out of bounds was a completion. We didn't have that luxury. Peyton Barber (who?) with 111 yards, 4.8 avg per carry. Not good enough

- Brissett looked fine. He is what he is but he kept us in it and put the team on his back at the end of regulation and in OT. Couldn't really ask for more from our backup QB

I only saw the NFL Redzone plays. Meaning the important plays. The o-line looked like a flaming pile of garbage on the important plays.
