Default What do we have to Build on after today?

OK Fins just outright out gameplaned us, kicked or D all over the field, stopped our run game & took away our passing game. is there anything positive to build on for SD game?

I didn't see much, don't like the coverages & fact our biltzes continued to get picked up all day long. I think we are going to see a long year against our Passing D. JT just returns last play for TD, how embarrassing...

This was one of those games that was so pathetic, it would be better if the team pretended it didn't happen... I know i'm gonna take that advice.

Actually this could work in our advantage. One of my worries about preseason was that we never lost a game and you want to make some mistakes in preseason so they don't show up in games. Miami worked us at every possition and exposed and attacked every weakness. At least moving forward from here we have a good idea of where we're weak and we can (hopefully) make som changes to address it. That said, if bailey is out for long, I'm not seeing a bright light at the end of this season.

Funny how we didn't have many injuries in PS then got down to last 2 CB's!

Shanny & Coyer got schooled by a college coach!

Why? So that Shanahan can pick the worst of the bunch? Personel moves on this team have been questionable at best.

We were beaten before all the CB's went down. We were LUCKY to hold them to 6 at half time. It could have Been at least 8 points higher for fins.

Saban had a solid gameplan. Mike tried to be fancy & never allowed the O to get any rythm & settle down. Saban had great coverages & we did not get rod into the game until it was TOO FREAKING LATE.

Our pass D had a horrible game...Plummer had a horrible game...the offensive line coudn't open any holes for Anderson/Bell...


We have nowhere to go but up. THAT'S what we need to emphasize. I'm not ready to call it a season by any means, but we have to get the fundamental mistakes fixed in a hurry.

Try building the mindset you have to score points to win the game ?

Ron Dayne was untouchable today...I don't recall seeing one Miami defender lay a hand on him at all today. Just incredible. We really have to build on getting the unstopable force of the Great Dayne the ball more.

We did have some good pressure and played very good d in the first half. But when defense is in the heat for that long, bad things happen.

Um...there's nowhere to go but up? Does that sound encouraging?

****ing slacker-assed punks. You either show up or you don't. I'm embarrassed.

The only thing that has been proven without a shadow of a doubt is that we can't finish the regular season 16-0...

Where to place the blame? Several places. First the OL. They couldn't open a hole for a RB all day. Pass blocking just average, but OK. Now, Plummer, he couldn't his a Bull in the a-- with a base fiddle. When he was on target, he threw the ball way too hard to the short receivers, or missed them badly. He just looked bad! All deep balls were over thrown, the short ones off to a side etc. Then he got frustrated late in the game and threw 2 intercepts. I thought that one of his passes in the end zone on 4th down should have been caught for a TD. Bounced off the receivers hand. I also thought Shanny or Kubiac called a poor game. Got completely away fron the running game. Kick offs werre poor!!! So much for this weeks play. Maybe better next week. If not, it will be a long season.
