2nd and GOAL at the 1

[K D]

Yes it deserves its own thread. You have a few inches to go and you are in SHOTGUN? Of course the result of the play is a loss of 2 close to 3 and they need to throw at that point. Discuss

[Steptide]

Qb sneak woulda been nice 

[GunnerBill]

Yep. True. Bad call. But even after that Josh has Isaiah wide open for a touchdown. 

 

Too many mistakes. Players and coaches. But offensive line again is the theme that stands out

[Murdox]

The team couldn't handle the heat.  Amusingly, all the long drives - normally great to weaken the D - took a toll on the offense in the heat.  So many players on their knees, out with heat exhaustion, etc.  Miami won with their home field advantage.

[Norcalbillsfan]

Dorseys worst call this season. The read doesn't freeze anyone when it's at the 1 yard line.

[ToGoGo]

The truth is the Dolphins have a (in my opinion) incredibly unethical advantage with the sunlight hitting the road team. 

 

Incrediblely bad sportsmanship by the city and team. 

[Jerboski]

Those calls were absolutely atrocious 

go under center and sneak the damn ball it works 80% of the time 

 

just ridiculous 

[Mikie's Bills]

I think being on the 3rd string C played a role in the playcall. C/QB exchange has been shaky under C without Morse

Can't run to the middle in shotgun vs goal line defense.  Just can't.

Agree you can't. I'd have been under centre and whether it is Allen or Gilliam push forward.

[Rocbillsfan1]

I have no idea why you put Josh in a shotgun there, I give the OC a lot of credit so far this year but that was horrible.

The bad snaps forced their hand

 

[NickelCity]

"OLine depth is awful!" I said all off-season. 

 

Well I'm often wrong and I wish that I was wrong about this. Admittedly, when you're down to your last lineman...

[716er]

Team just did not execute. The play calls we’re fine. Josh failed to put it in the endzone 4 times.

Agreed on the O line.  They were under fire the entire game (even without the heat-related injuries).  This just felt like one of those games where it wasn't clicking.  I think this could be another game like the first Patriots game last year, where when they watch the film, they'll see how much they left on the field.  Hopefully this is an early-season galvanizing point.

yup typically I would agree, last week I was screaming for QB sneaks. Twice they fumbled snaps under center including one that cost us a chance at 3 points. People would be moaning if Allen fumbles there and the Dolphins recover

just 4 times in a row and I couldn’t fault the play call - it’d be all the players at that point

Dorsey showed his ass several times today

[716er]

The decision to go for the FG in which Bass missed on a 4th and 4 was a much worse decision IMO

That's called home field advantage.
