    after being shutout for the second time this season, we are officially at 11.2 ppg this season and have taken the Brown’s throne as the worst offense in the NFL.

    Just to throw this random stat out there, under Cam we averaged 16.7 ppg and we only won one game.

    We are beyond pathetic.

    They're not physical. They're moody. They're not able to run the offense thru the key - Jay Ajayi.

    Years of drafting OL and they still suck, Parker can’t stay healthy, we’re on our 3rd QB and we don’t have any big time playmakers on offense. Landry is the closest thing we have.

    And they will trade or let him go watch. Parker will play 2-3 more years and leave and become a top 5 w/r somewhere else

    Ugly stat. Just ugly.

    Lets not forget though... We started the season with a backup QB, who was planning on being retired, not playing football up until August. Tonight we played his backup, as a starter for the first time this year, on a short week, against a team that's dominated us recently. That doesn't exactly scream opportunity for us to win, or have an effective offense in general, especially when you combine that with our awful OL, who doesn't seem to know how to play at full speed, or with physicality.

    3 first round picks on this offensive line. THREE. That is pathetic considering the return we are getting for it.

    The only other team that has invested more in their offensive line than we have are the Cowboys who have three first round picks starting for them, a third round pick and Lael Collins who went undrafted and shouldve been a first round pick had they not falsely accused him of murder. And the cowboys boast the best line in the NFL.

    It is so bad, i am willing to put all three of our first round offensive linemen on the tradeblock and see if some team is desperate to give us a high pick for any of them. Philly needs a LT dont they? Sigh

    I really don't want to talk about the game too much since it was that freaking ugly. But I will say that Gase and our D coordinator had a hand in tonight's loss as well. The first play of the game was a shot downfield, followed by a 21 yard Ajayi run. Then it was screen pass, run, short pass, punt. Then it was run, screen pass, run, punt. There were a few downfield tosses that were dropped or poorly thrown, but we just weren't challenging the field....we basically gave up trying.

    And on defense, how did we not notice the unbalanced line over and over and over again? That drove me nuts. There were bad plays and bad decisions everywhere tonight.

    The 2007 Dolphins were more productive on offense.

    And we've basically been shut out in all 3 losses, even though technically its 2. That last second garbage TD against the Jets to make it 6-20 shouldn't count. That might as well count as a shutout considering.

    No worries everything will be fine. Gase is an offensive genius. For reals don't worry. I mean seriously he is a genius. People tell me all the time.

    The Aqua and Orange post game show broke it down: Ajayi averaged 6....INCHES per carry tonight. Chew on that.

    Right! He is the Guru!

    Everyone around the league knows that Miami has the most simplistic offense. It is college level. The defense knows what our offense is going to do before we line up. Honestly, we need a OC in the worst way. Moore knows the offense; Cutler was bought in because he was suppose to know the offense. So, WTF is Gase doing calling pop warner plays. Lol, Deion called it at halftime about the Gase offense. Gase clearly wasn’t calling the plays in Denver. That was all Manning.

    Plus, the offense line is absolutely atrocious. I bet Tony was setting in the booth last night thinking “Damn, they couldn’t pay me enough to play behind that ****”.

    I know we have some people here who have a lot of stats at their fingertips. I was wondering yesterday even before this game how this offense ranks historically. Are we potentially witnessing a record setting offense this year? I know other teams in the past must have scored less per game because it was harder to score even 12 years ago. I am just wondering how far we are behind the average team this year and how that compares to the worst offenses ever.

    I just remembered reshad jones had a fumble returned for a touchdown. Which means our offense is averaging 10.2 ppg. Ill let them keep the three points that our defense set them up with last week to win the game

    So CAL
    I just said that in another post, how many times did they bring in another lineman to run and we just sat there chasing the qb and they chunked off yards it was annoying. I would like to not talk about this game ever again gase's play calling sabotaged this game 9 guys within 5 yards of the LOS and we didn't score im just literally shocked, stacked box ok bubble screen, stacked box ok hand off just unreal.

    Lol, right! Gase playcalling looks like my son’s HS team. I heard my son’s coach screaming out onto the field during a game “run the ******* ball up the middle”. The defense stacked the box and we ran it into a wall all night long.

    We were clearly out coached last night. The Ravens exposed our D and knew what our O was going to run.

    Gase considers himself a pass offense guru. He accidentally stumbled upon Ajayi last year and hasn't committed to him in ways he should. This is also evidenced by the money we're willing to throw at the WR core.

    You guys realize Gase has had to simplify the offense because our receivers and probably oline cant handle anything more complex right now. Look we had to fix the secondary, linebackers and online last year. We fixed two out of three. Our starting qb is out. If we don't go online heavy in the off-season next yr then you can ***** and have a point. Right now you're wishing for something that is probably impossible

    I'm not buying this crap about the players being stupid and can't run gase's genius offense. First of all it's not much of an offense if most players can't understand it and run it correctly.

    Second of all It's the coaches responsibility to teach the offense correctly and have everybody understand it. All of the starters on this offense have at least two years of experience running the same system. There is absolutely no way that you can sit here and tell me that not knowing the offense is a valid excuse when they have had multiple years to learn it.

    At the end of the day if it's not working it's because the system in place is either not so great or gase has done a terrible job of coaching it.

    But Gase said he could get a Guard off the street. Too loyal to Pouncey, Bushrod and Thomas. Maybe play Fales or Doughty
