Don't think I can disagree with anything you said. We lost because of those on the field (and in the coaching booths), I'd argue more than those who were missing.

Sadly the gaffe is what helped lose us the game. It's all very well doing the brilliant, but the simple has to be done too. And he does, for the most part, but...

You could argue none of them. Far too many stupid mistakes by those present, who have generally otherwise done brilliantly for us - Josh, Bass, Milano, Davis, McKenzie, Dorsey...

Our defense coped better with the losses than the offense, which is promising in one sense. And, admittedly, we could plan for the losses on defense throughout the week whereas we had to continually adapt with the offensive losses (Morse aside). But still - simple errors in a pressurised situation is why we lost today. And why we've lost the last 7 one score games.

On the Sky coverage, Jason Bell said the game came down to conditioning. When Josh was preparing to throw to Isiah for that TD he didn't have the legs to do it. And that's what gave Miami the win.

It's not as though the close game record is 0-1 or something. 0-7. Our last SEVEN one score games have all been defeats.

This is what I mean by the mentality.

In fairness, he spent big on Miller but he didn't really turn up today. Rousseau did far more.

Yes, there was one bad play on defense but with the injuries I thought that side of the ball did brilliantly.

And I had faith we were going to finally do it too. That's the worst thing.

Trying to compose myself. The issue is the majority of injuries was on defense. If we lost 42-38 or something I don't think I'd be so annoyed. But somehow we only put up 17 points (plus the screwed up safety on their part). We needed the offense today, we needed our MVP today. And it didn't work out.

It's not the losing, it's the way we lost. OK, fair point, I'm probably over-reacting. Just had a **** day and this has topped it off.

The blowouts are great, but we can't win every game by more than one score.

In fairness, the Dolphins missed plays too.

So losing the close games is fine?

We always have excuses, don't we? Like blaming the wind for losing at home to the Pats last year.

Not exactly. The blow outs are great but we need to keep our cool and see out games that are close too. 0-7 since the start of 2021 now?

Miami are very oridinary - have beaten a poor Patriots side, a beat up Ravens and then a beat up Bills. But our offense should have won that. Only 19 points is very poor.

Putting it simple - when was the last time we won a close game?

The defense was fine for the most part and that's where the issue was with injury. We should be capable of scoring more than 21. Yet again, we choked.

Complete chokers across the board, with no clue how to play when under pressure. Offense was putrid and the play calling little better. Favourites for the Superbowl? Only if the defense is fully fit because the Offense, even with the so called predicted MVP, is not good enough. ETA 15 minutes later - Won't delete the original post because I have to own it. But now I've calmed down slightly... still annoying. And I think I'll still have doubts about us being able to able to cope with the pressure of a one score game at the death until we win one of them.

I don't think he's fit. In hindsight, should have chosen Shakir.

Depends if we win this.

This is insane.

Come on Josh, prove me wrong.
