For the record, they led Miami by 17 points at halftime Sunday, not by 25 with 17:07 remaining in regulation. For the record, Lady Gaga did not rappel from this closed roof. Still, it’s one thing to blow a massive lead against the greatest coach and greatest quarterback ever. To be outscored 20-0 at home and lose 20-17 to Jay Freakin’ Cutler … that’s about as bad as it gets in a regular-season game.

The belief in many circles was that the inevitable post-Shanahan slippage in points and yards would be offset by a better defense. Hasn’t worked that way. The Falcons still aren’t stopping people, and they can no longer count on simply outscoring opponents. They’ve managed three second-half offensive touchdowns in five games, the scorers of those being Hooper, Gabriel and Justin Hardy. Julio Jones remains pointless.

Doesn't this just make everything a little brighter?

Interesting read on what a mess the Dolphins were before their comeback.

This is where I provide you an edited and carefully worded synopsis of all the trouble the Dolphins waded through the past week, most of it of their own making:

They ...

Performed horribly offensively for the third consecutive week against Tennessee, making the first home victory of the season feel about as satisfying as an oxygen sandwich.

Hours after the win, a video of offensive line coach Chris Foerster emerged in which he was snorting cocaine in his office at the team’s training facility. Foerster resigned the next day.

The Foerster video went viral and turned the Dolphins into a social media punch line.

When folks got bored talking about Foerster, they returned to the weathered conversation about benching quarterback Jay Cutler because he struggled for the third consecutive game last week.

Part of the Cutler discussion included the fact he and the offense were booed in what amounted to Cutler’s first ever game as Miami’s quarterback at Hard Rock Stadium. That booing included calls for backup Matt Moore to take over

And the festivities continued during the first half of this game.

The Dolphins dropped five passes to go with the five drops last week. Four of those drops came in the first half.

The Falcons scored the first two times they had the ball. And then they scored again to forge a 17-0 halftime lead. Yeah, not good.

The Dolphins offense, meanwhile, lost starting center Mike Pouncey to a concussion in the first half. Landry had three drops. And Cutler had an interception and a quarterback rating of 39.

There’s a name for this kind of stuff:

“Inept,” coach Adam Gase said.

And so it seemed as if the Dolphins were adding to their litany of yuck. It seemed as if this game was already out of reach for a team that hadn’t scored more than 17 points in any of the previous three games.

At this point no lead is safe with us. I expected our offense to drop off some but not like this. The amount of deflected turnovers we are having is just mind blowing. 

Oh well, at least the Dawgs are kicking ass.

I'll give you a beer just for the UGA part of the post.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
