Wow....we win, however where do we need to improve??

Need to start getting Reggie Bush matched up on linebackers in the passing game.

Need Gaffney to shake up the rust and give us a solid 3rd WR. Bench Clay and bring out Egnew and hope to god he's improved. Cut down on turnovers....and start making some passing TD's.

More passes to Bush, A FG kicker.

Reggie is definitely hurt. He looked his usual the first 2 runs after the half. Even the announcers mentioned it. I believe he had a 9 yard'r and a 22 yard'r. I was like....yes!!!! then he seemed to tail off the more he played. I hate to say it but maybe we need to rest him next week.

Can't blame them for that third down throw. It was executed perfectly. Low risk, high percentage throw that may have given us a first. Worst case scenario was what happened on the bonehead out of bounds play.

Can't execute much better than that.

Can't help but agree Bro. We definitely need to be trying out a kicker. If nothing else but to send a message.

Trying to be constructive here. We are a decent team. Where do you think we need to improve.

I will go first.

Just under 2 minutes and we have 3rd and 8 or 9 to go. Instead of taking the clock to 1 minute by running the ball ,we throw on third and our back runs out of bounds. End result we give the ball back with almost 2 minutes on the clock.........................:no:

Just some play calling and better execution on good play calls.
I like how we started to use Bush more in the passing game and I like how we started using Javorski more!
Things will get slightly better when Gaffney gets in the game. Tannehill is continuing to look better and better! I didnmt see any blatent rookie mistakes.
Like you said the only improvement is some better play calls from Sheman at critical times. Other then that, the rest of the improvements we need will come this off season!

Why would we be throwing it to the kicker?

agree the play was executed very well. But giving the Bengals an extra minute to come back and beat us is suicide by stupidity.

-3rd Wr
-better Oline play

Most importantly, THill has to know when to check out of negative run situations, 8 in the box and he checks to a run is not going to work moving forward.

Cb depth is an issue as well.

Lol

Tanne is learning and you can bet it will be brought up in the film room this week. What concerns me is the easy stuff. Like running out of bounds on 3rd and 8 with under 2 minutes left. That is coaching!!

I know that's right. I am sooooooooo happy we won. I was literally cussing up a storm at the end because I was waiting for the end to end badly. It never came. What a great feeling.

That is on the player, tbh, CC9 has been wildly inconsistent this year.

DTrain looked like he got his bell rung again.

REGGIE BUSH NEEDS TO RUN FORWARD AND STOP KILLING OUR DRIVES!!!

Caps were meant to be on to display me screaming!

Also can we stop with 1st and 2nd downs as runs 80% of the time.. Mix it up let Tanny pass more often..

Bush's problem is decision-making, which I don't think is affected by anything physical going on with him right now.

I looked at it different. I thought the hip was an issue. Maybe not?

Sometimes I am like, wow this guy is the real deal. Then other times it is very frustrating. Bush is by far our best back though.

To be fair it's hard to run forward when you'd be running up the back of your offensive lineman. There were 2-3 plays he could have cut up for maybe 2-3 yards but generally I don't mind Reggie bouncing plays out when there is no-where forward to even run without crawling up someones booty.

The running game is killing the offense. I understand they don't want Tanny throwing 40 times a game. But he's the most efficient player right now. And all our running game is doing (especially the horrible Thomas) is making it harder for Tanny on 3rd down. Defensively we need our pass rush to sustain itself into the second half. It would also be nice if Carpenter reverted back to what he was the past several years.

I'm not sure he is if he's going to run like this in a zone blocking scheme.

My 8 yr old asked me earlier why everytime the Miami Dolphins are on do I have a "Potty Mouth"?? LOL

On the last drive of the game, runs of 3 yards, 3 yards, and 4 yards get a first down and win the game. That's not when you dance around and try to "create" something.

That's what tells me his problem is mental. Even in a situation where it's obvious a back should be hitting it up in there and getting what he can, Reggie Bush is still trying to "create." His problem is mental IMO.

We need to improve our ref bribing technique ... because we are seriously lacking in this area

I know what you're saying. I felt the same way, but that Reggie TD would have never happned if he did that. lol
