Ryan Tannehill: Miami Dolphins 'have to reset and correct our mistakes'

Sports Xchange wrote:DAVIE, Fla. - The Miami Dolphins were beaten and exposed by Baltimore 38-6, and now the Dolphins, who had their six-game winning streak snapped, must deal with the aftermath of a loss for the first time in nearly two months. And Miami (7-5) must deal with a serious blow to its playoff hopes.

"We have four games left," quarterback Ryan Tannehill said. "Everything we want is still right in front of us. We just have to reset and correct our mistakes. We'll be ready to go next week."

The Dolphins' defense was the element of the team most exposed. The pass defense allowed Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco a franchise-record 36 completions on 50 attempts for 386 yards, four touchdowns and one interceptions. He had a 119.2 passer rating.

To be honest this is a positive to hear. Miami has four games left and they need to win out.

It's a positive, but it's nothing new. All teams watch tape and try to correct their mistakes. What we need to see is how Gase and his staff work to fix those mistakes.

I'm not sure too much can be fixed on defense because the lack of talent may be too much to overcome. But on offense, it seems like when we face a tough defense (Rams, Ravens) the offense just disappears and can't do anything. As an "offensive genius", this is something that Gase MUST fix. We supposedly have the QB, the RB, the WRs, we have some pieces at OL...there's no reason we should lay an egg every time we face a good defense. Hell, even against the crappy 49er D we couldn't do anything offensively late in the game.

Sure, you can blame the players to a certain extent, but to me the playcalling must improve...stop with the 2-yard passes on 3rd and 10+, don't attempt a long FG instead of going for it on 4th and 2, don't keep using the same 2-3 running plays over and over...there's a LOT of room for improvement in the way Gase calls these games.
