It all comes down to stats. No matter how they get them.

[Fan in Chicago]

Please no turnovers, O

[Goin Breakdown]

idk  but I feel like the defense is going to come up big at some point

[CSBill]

Eventually, the front has to start putting some pressure on Tua.

The game plan is clearly to give them short to mid but eliminate the long game. And they're just taking it and driving right down the field and punching it in with Achane.

 

There's no Defense games and then there's what's happening today. Game feels like it's going to be like 60-53 at this rate.

I think it's more about Miami's offense being that good. Hard to blame McD. He's mixing it up trying a lot of things. 

Nah, I can’t absolve his coaching performance so far.   It’s still early though, but one… ONE.. third down forced and it was easily converted with a simple pitch and catch.

Halftime adjustments will be huge!!!!!

[HappyDays]

Please stop running out of the endzone

Look.....I am not there at practice.  I don't know what goes on or how players look.  But man, I really wish Elam was active today.  Right now, the defense has no answer with their original plan.  It would sure be nice to have an athletic press man corner to try an change things up a bit and try something else.  Not saying it would work, but it would be nice to have the option to try.

This defense is very sound but they just don’t have the top-shelf athletes to keep up with Miami’s speed. 

If Miami doesn’t make any mistakes, there’s almost nothing we can do to force them. 

that’s true. Two chances to get a pick and the fins get the high difficulty or unlikely catch.

Hes been varying coverage, blitzing, dropping zones….i mean Tua hit a double covered RB down the sideline.

 

You can’t do anything about this except keep playing sound (which they are) and hope the Miami luck runs out at some point 

 

Three times we have taken away first reads there have been chances for us to make plays on the ball. Gotta start making them.

[Warcodered]

I'm not sure why Shakir bothers taking it out.

Rush only 2-3 when you are 70% sure it’s a pass.  

Which is every play. Just play the pass. Let them try to beat you with the run.

He’s fallen so far from when he started this gig 

Right. I used to like his commentary, which I found insightful and informed. Now, he either gushes or stumbles incoherently half the time.

Tell Shakir to take a knee.

Right? What the ***** dude? They will lead to a turnover at some point if he’s running into a wall at the 18 every time. 

[LABILLBACKER]

Shakir, stop running it out. Losing 5 yards every time. 

[That's No Moon]

You keep attacking as a defense knowing that you will give up some plays. The trade off is that you will make some. Bernard dropped an INT that would have stopped the first drive.

[oldmanfan]

It does not have to be that the D is bad.  It is because both offenses on that filed are playing great.
