Miami 30.9 PPG (1st)
Miami 411 YPG (1st)

They scored one touchdown yesterday. Who wouldn't have taken that before the game?

This loss is 100% on the offense, particularly on “Dak in the Headlights”. Rattled by Fangio again, our offense spent the entire 2nd and 3rd quarters punting and kicking field goals. Defense did its job, $60M man did not until it was too late.

There was a 10 point swing off the GL fumble… that’s the game IMO

You can’t gift wrap turnovers in the RZ — particularly on the road— and expect to win.

We lost the turnover battle— and most of the time when that happens— you lose the game.

The last defensive series was abysmal, but to your point, that doesn’t absolve the offense from their performance and lack of production.

Miami was averaging 33 points at home. In order to win, the offense would have to target 30 points minimum going into the contest. They fell way short, and the playcalling and game management was again suspect.

Chronic issues that have plagued us all year continue to show up. I don’t see how those are just going to magically disappear.

Dak didn't have a bad game. He actually played pretty well considering he was constantly under pressure and had zero run game. In fact he led us to a go ahead TD the last time he took the field.

Yalls qb expectations are stupid. You're not getting 300+ and 3tds+ every game, FROM ANYONE.

So are we going to ignore the 7 points "Dak in headlights" had that got completely left out of the game because the RB fumbled?

It's so ridiculous. So he commends the defense and claims they did their job when that unit is the one who technically let them march down field because of a 15 yard penalty lol.

Ultimately both units contributed to this loss.

And before I commend this defense let's be honest.....Tyreke Hill dropped a touchdown pass in the 1st quarter. But I do agree....from what I saw last week I expected at least 30 points. Defense played better but still flawed.

Fumble sucked. But it happened on the 1st quarter. The guy who was getting MVP buzz the last month should have overcome it. Instead he spent the next two quarters overwhelmed mentally.

Why do you guys think defenses don't get paid lol? Their defense played Dak well..l.the same defense that limited Mahomes to 1 Touchdown and 185 yards lol...

I just don't get some of you guys....you don't give Dak any credit for what he did because of "MVP buzz" lol...but you give this defense the complete pass despite them being considered a top 5 unit. I Don't understand.

Said it before, losers find a way to lose. Yeah, the offense should have been able to score more...and the defense let the team down on that final Miami drive. But that's the story for the team. If it's not one thing, it's something else that lets them down. Loser mentality. Winners put it together at the right times.

If Pollard runs to the corner of the endzone he probably would have beaten the defender and got the TD. But instead choose to cut inside and got tackled, then a fumble happened on the next play.

He runs to the pylon, even if the defender gets to him before reaching the goal line, Pollard at least would've been able to stretch the ball out after contact given the leverage.

He ignored his best playmaker for 2 and a half quarters which put Dallas in the bind they were in late in the 4th.

TP got spun around by a single arm. That's about as pathetic as it gets.

That's on the FO.

Luepke probably practiced 5 handoffs all week. That's on MM.

2 and a half quarters of deer in the headlights. That's on Dak Attack.

The D held them to 22 points. That's more than you can ask of them.
