Down 4 points at home late in the third quarter 3rd and 2 and that's what you give your defense for getting you the ball back. But folks expect the defense to save us lol

Imagine spending all of your draft picks and money on the offense only to always ask our defense to bail us out lol Might as well just went with a defensive minded HC and used all your resources on the defensive side of the ball.

Miami kinda sucks.

[Smitty will punch you]

I absolutely hate Canalas as a HC and play caller. Back to back 3rd and short and we in the gun. With a back who has 120+ yard in the game

Excellent!!

Empty backfield on 3rd and 2….WTF….I’m not a coach…but….

DC doesnt know the finer points

Where was this defense in the 1st half...

[TN05]

The defense is playing incredibly well. They should have only 3 points on the board.

Both times he schemed guys open and Bryce couldn’t make the play. How is that Dave’s fault?

Bryce was turning the ball over every other play, no defense can overcome that

[CarolinaSock]

Either we are lights out covering downfield or Tua is terrified to throw the ball beyond the line of scrimmage all of a sudden.

Dallas looks tired just from fair catching it haha

We're in the gun for Bryce’s benefit. He played 90ish% of his college snaps from the shotgun. He has to do that to be able to see the field. But he cannot see the field if the pocket collapses he just panics and falls over into a defender.

Waller kills us all 1st quater and they just stop looking his way lmao. I would say we made adjustments but i know better.

They are double bracketing him when he's on the field with a LB underneath and Horn over the top.
