TVD looks way off. Really good chance to steal one today

Defense is playing great. Let’s make this 14-0 and really put the pressure on their offense.

Miami is the one running the stupid plays today

We can’t keep going up the gut for all of our runs. Either hit the edge or throw in some passes.

Goddammit I love Malik Washington so much.

Like I said mix in some passes :wink:

Would’ve been nice to convert there but can’t be mad at 10-0.

Also this commentator needs to calm down lol, he’s losing his mind whenever Miami makes any semblance of a positive play.

Real shame he’s only here one year but definitely something to sell a transfer receiver in the offseason

Good open field tackle from Kam Robinson to force the 4th down.

Another score here before half would be real nice, especially since we get the ball to start the 2nd.

WTF are we doing right now?

Did we decide to run out the clock as soon as we received the ball with 4 minutes left? Picked up a first down, then burned like 90 seconds doing nothing.

Another first down, sat on the ball for 20 seconds…

Not impressive.

I loved the clock management at the beginning of this drive, but with that new set of downs you have to pass. No risk of Miami getting the ball back at this point, go try to score!

First off what the hell was that playcall.

Second off what are we doing with this time management??? This continues to be a MAJOR problem for Tony.

What a disgraceful end to the half. Embarrassing.

Inexplicably bad game management

Getting stupid here… We can’t kind of be aggressive and then NOT aggressive and then stupidly aggressive on the last play?!

Another game where we go into the half playing scared.

I’ve liked a lot of what I’ve seen today but this kinda shit is still inexcusable. You had 1:15 left on the clock at the 50 with all 3 timeouts and you concede the drive, pardon my language but that is a bitch way to go into the locker room.

Yep, at 2-5 let it roll, don’t get conservative in that position! It’s one of the benefits of being 2-5 you play spoiler every week.

Still, plenty to be positive for in the first half.

Will say that outside of that last drive, I’ve liked the playcalling overall on both sides of the ball. Des is keeping it balanced and we’re actually running the ball fairly well, and Rud is doing a good job of bringing delayed heat and forcing Miami to make plays through the air. Our guys are also starting to get off the blocks and make some really nice open field tackles.

We’re playing well but getting up two scores is gonna be vital I think. Can’t let them build momentum or have drives continue to stall out, they’ve got too much speed at the skill positions to be held down for the rest of the game.
