    1) Why not challenge that one pass by Luck where he very obviously released the ball with a knee down?

    2) I honestly believe plays like the SS24 dropped INT should be ruled fumbles. He very obviously caught the ball with possession and dropped it trying to get up.

    3) We got screwed at the end on that special teams play. MM was certainly not holding but rather being held.

    4) We need better ball skills in the secondary. So many plays left on the field.

    5) Cameron Wake should sue the NFL. Seriously. He's getting abused on every other play. Today I saw him get dragged down by his facemask so many times.

    6) I wouldn't have called the TO on 4th and 15. You have a better chance of getting the ball back with your defense at that point.

    7) We were great at forcing third downs but awful at preventing conversions even on third and long.

    8) I really hope we don't extend Jake Long. Even at prime form I don't believe a LT changes the game anymore to the point where such a high salary is warranted. Couple with the fact that he is very obviously NOT in prime form.

    9) Luck has much better weapons than Tannehill. I'd love to see Ryan with guys that can create separation with their physical skill sets like that.

    10) I think the future will hold many more Luck vs Tannehill matchups in the playoffs.

    I wouldn't say Luck has much better weapons. They cost him plays today.

    To each his own. I know I'd trade our entire receiving core for their entire receiving core (including TE's). Our offensive lines are very similar and our run game hasn't been all that great lately. Better than theirs but not enough to make up for the impact good receivers can have.

    They still were in position to make those plays.



    I'll also add: Our O-line is really sub-par. Today Jake stunk, but none of them really played well, and that is a recurring trend.

    I agree that their core is better. Just not by far. I would take Hartline/Bess/Gaffney over any of their receivers other than Wayne.

    His knee was not down on that pass. I looked it at three times.

    I'll also add.

    11) Lamar Miller gets a nice gain hitting the hole hard and is never seen again.

    It wasn't down as his arm moved forwards but it was before he released it IMO. I also looked at it....three times.

    don't know what to tell you. My TV is a 240 Hz. The best resolution possible. AND I'm biased toward the Dolphins.

    I like that group. On the other hand, I can't remember the last time I saw a Dolphins receiver split a double team deep like Donnie Avery did today (okay, Ted Ginn). Or win a jump ball in double coverage like Hilton.

    Obviously we haven't had a Reggie Wayne in two decades.

    AMERICA!

    My 2 cents..

    12) Clay catches a nice pass for a td and isn't seen from again.
    Unless I missed it?

    My two cents :
    35 minutes TOP for Colts.
    2 missed FGs for Colts.
    One dropped TD for the Colts.

    We got our asses handed to us. 3rd down D was Olivadoti like. No excuses. We lost and it was much worse than the scoreboard indicated.
