The team played well enough to win this game. The turning point came with around 4-5 minutes left. They punt to us, we get lousy field position, but enough room to move. We are ahead at this point, but we need a sustained drive to run out the clock. So, do we stick with what has been working? NO. Gase calls two low percentage passes, both incomplete, then a slow-developing deep handoff for a gain of about two yards. We have to punt the ball back, we have run about 50 seconds off the clock, and the Colts now have the momentum and decent field position. They win. Gase's fault.

While Gase has to bear some if the blame for ultra conservative play calls the players on defense that allowed the Colts to run down the field unhindered at the end have to bear some blame too. Then our abundance of stupid penalties didnt help either.

Ken, you saw what I saw and have to agree. Gase is horrible play caller and D was severely out played by Luck who is a very good QB.

The defense was terrible, no doubt. It's hard to expect more from them when the starting linebackers are terrible, the DTs are worse, and we have one decent boundary corner in Howard.

That said, this game was winnable if the coaching hadn't actually helped the opponent. Miami's final touchdown drive was Miami running it down Indy's throat. When Miami got the ball back with the lead, there isn't a coach alive, other than the dumbass Miami is stuck with, that wouldn't have continued to run the ball down Indy's throat. You have the lead, you want to run clock. Might Indy have stopped them anyway? Maybe, but the running backs were making plays all game long. Coach Moron, knows better though. Pass, pass, run, punt and game over. With the lead and the running game going well, they used up less than a minute of clock. Pathetic.

I won't be happy until the day that Gase, Tannenbum, and Grier are fired. Until that happens, this team has no hope of being anything more than mediocre.

The defense did get 3 or 4 turnovers and was the first team to sack Luck in how many games? don't remember the exact # but its been a long while.

But they do always seem to blow it when other teams adapt. Our defensive coordinator cant seem to keep up. That zone shit …...the players don't have a clue and are constantly out of place. That needs to end.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

If you want to blame Gase, blame him for keeping Tannehill in a pocket passing offense.

The defense collapsed at the end, like they always do but I get it. We have no DTs worth a crap. Our linebackers couldn't start for any other teams. With the exception of Howard, we have no one that can cover anyone. But this loss is squarely on Gase. His play-calling was exactly what the Colts needed to pull off their comeback. Gase is like that dumb-ass we've all known at some point in our life that thinks he's smarter than anyone else. To hell with conventional wisdom and common sense, Gase is going to do things his way because everyone else is wrong and he's always right. He blew it for his team and the fans. I think he's arrogant like Bellichick without any of the winning games part perfected. I wonder if www.fireadamgase.com is available?

He seemed pretty comfortable in the pocket on Sunday. Stepped up made some rocket passes......or what would you know? You didnt even watch it.......

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

I think the defense would be OK if we had 2 DECENT replacements for McMillian and Baker. Those 2 are playing horribly. They have no clue what they're doing out there and we're losing games because of it. We need a stud LB in next years draft. I'm fine with Kiko though

I wanted either Roquan Smith or Edmunds with our first pick last year...I want a beast LB so bad...

Hell yeah! I love the defensive side of the ball! Zach Thomas used to say his success was because of the amount of time he spent watching other teams offense. He would call plays out on the line and knew where they were going every snap. We have some athletes on D but after a big play you can see how clueless they are.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!
