What a frustrating mess of ****. You lose to a bad team coming out of a bye week on a comedy of errors, and torpedo pretty firmly whatever momentum you had with a good start.
I'm not sure why people are screaming and kicking their legs about the coaching staff on this one. This was execution, pure and simple.
Ryan Tannehill had a god awful game. I think the best thing you can say is that he took his eyes off the field in order to do something about the rush some of the time. His accuracy was pretty bad, his timing/decision making was pretty poor, and losing the football on the sack was pretty awful as well.
The management of the run game was pretty good- They canned the outside zones for the most part, except for occasional change-ups out of shotgun formations. They focused on what works in the run game, and it was successful.
Both Daniel Thomas and Lamar Miller played well, and I think that's about both their upsides. Thomas had I think a good selection of plays for him.
Mike Wallace shouldn't make it to the end of the season on the field at this rate. An occasional long catch isn't worst the consistent failures to do the basics of the possession well.
Brandon Gibson should be getting more snaps.
I liked to see more blocking from the tight ends.
People are going to **** on the offensive line, but overall the performance was pretty good. Two sacks, and not a lot of pressure in 37 drop backs is not a bad day, combined with the run blocking. Tyson Clabo didn't have a good day, but people acting like he single-handedly lost the game have lost their ****ing mind.
We miss Cameron Wake. Olivier Vernon has been pretty decent, Derrick Shelby really hasn't, and Dion Jordan looks promising but not ready.
I thought the linebackers had a decent enough day all things considered. I didn't really have a good angle on the Jelani Jenkins to see how deserved the foul was.
Nolan Carroll really did a **** job tackling this week. Was he clearly benched on the television broadcast?
I thought Reshad Jones came around a bit, and begin playing more like the Jones of last year with some errors.
Dan Carpenter made all his kicks, and Caleb Sturgis didn't. That's embarrassing.

Tyson clabo did lose the game, yes. I'm not out of my mind. Everything was going fine until Mario Williams started singlehandedly stopping our offense. You can say Mario Williams won the game for the bills if that makes it sound less accusing of clabo, but that pos we have at RT is why we lost.

Ryan Tannehill did have a really bad game. He stared down receivers all day and rarely went through his progressions. When he did go through his progression, he made plays...he needs to do this more. I blame coaching though more than anything. Playcalling, coming out flat, dumb penalties...you can put all that on coaching. Offense was anemic the majority of the day, you have to fault that on the coaches. The o-line had a average day which is good for them but Clabo wet the bed when it did matter most. You cannot deny that.

Execution was bad, but it's certainly not all on that. Ultimately, it's up to the coaches to put players in good spots to execute, and I don't think the staff have done a good job of that since week 2. Even Joe Philbin said in his post game press conference that they didn't do a good job getting the team ready to play. Yikes.finyank13 likes this. -
Tannehill with time has proven he can be quite the qb. Which makes clabos inefficiency that much more glaring.ASOT, Rocky Raccoon and maynard like this. -
if you lost the game within the first minute of the game down only 7, then the their is something very wrong with your team....

Same as that dog**** 2 weeks ago, and here you are defending that pooh.

For me, you can't lose to this Bills team, at home, coming off a bye.
I thoughy tge play-calling was solid. Tannehill was not. You just can't spot a team 7 points like that. Mike Wallace may go down as one of the worst signings. What's the difference between him and Ginn?
Defense played well, but you have to tackle Fred Jackson at the end of the game. Our tackling was poor.
We're a very marginal team with little room for error.finyank13 likes this. -
**** him. Can't believe there's a person alive defending him right now. I had a friend, a niners fan, text me after the game saying "that clabo guy needs to be put down like old yellor"MAFishFan, mcdave21, Ohio Fanatic and 1 other person like this. -

Here's the second to last:

As for the last drive, with the fumble, that's squarely on Tyson Clabo. He got beat one-one-one to the inside. -
I don't think play calling was the biggest problem... Execution on both sides of the ball was bad.. Ryan atoned for this poor start with some better plays but he did make a lot of mistakes.. The line played well enough but fell apart late.. Defense gave up too many big plays on third down.. But I don't blame play calling one bit.. Nice mix of run and pass.. Could we have run the ball 3 straight times and punt sure, maybe we break one for a first down.. I think joe want to put the dagger in their heart but failure to block Williams killed it.. Maybe not doubling him on key passing plays is on the coaches but I don't question the decision to throw it there..

We didn't spot them 7 points, we spotted them 14 points.
Ryan Tannehill came out rusty after the bye week. For a young quarterback, behind an OL that has struggled, maybe that was to be expected.
Which, seemingly the coaches were on top of it, going with the run as much as they did in the first half.
But then it's inexcusable to go away from the run in the second half, and with a lead in the fourth quarter, choosing to go with Lamar Miller MORE than Daniel Thomas when you did run.
And then the cherry on top, I see Dion Sims helping Jonathan Martin in crunch time. Who was he helping Martin block you ask? Well, it wasn't Mario Williams. Apparently our coaches THINK that Tyson Clabo doesn't need the help on his side going up against Williams.... :lol:
Not sure how anyone can defend the coaches, particularly on the offensive side of the ball, for this one.
We still can't defend a screen.... we still can't execute a screen on offense. I do wonder what happens in practice though... which side wins when a screen is called. Does the universe swallow itself up during that moment of time? -

He's got to multitask more from the pocket, he's got to take more matters into his own hands..it's his team..he's the leader, it's a critical mistake that can lose ball games in this league.. -
If he hasn't developed into a player more capable than what we're getting out of Clabo till this point, then why keep him on the roster? If he's not better than the current Tyson Clabo, please free up the roster spot.
I say give the guy a shot.dont fumble, Ohio Fanatic, Paul 13 and 1 other person like this. -
Execution was much more of the problem. But coming out of the bye week, this is surely on the coaches at least a little bit. Isn't it supposed to be their job to put the players in position to execute properly. These were execution mistakes we see on Thursday night football games. Not something we should be seeing with an extra week to implement a game plan.....at home....against a below average defenseDisgustipate likes this. -

Do we attack the middle of the field? No.
Do we run any screens? No.
Are we good in short yardage? No.
Are we good in 3rd and 2-4? No.
Does he move his athletic quarterback around? No.
I'm done. This team is cooked. We're going to get blown out of the building next week. 7-9 here we come.Da 'Fins likes this. -

I would argue if you're to blame coaching, you've got to have specifics. It's overly simplistic, but there's a rock, papers, scissor going on here, and I think there needs to be an observation on who did what and why it was bad. -
Daniel Thomas TEN of TWELVE carries came with Tannehill under center.
Lamar Miller SIX of NINE carries came with Tannehill in SHOTGUN.... and you guess it, those last two carries by Miller... shotgun...
That's a pretty big friggin tendency/trend that defensive coordinators are going to take notice. -
