Everybody but Hill and Sanders

The offense sucked

The defense sucked

The coaching sucked

Miami now needs a miracle to make the playoffs

Mike McDaniel.  The playcalling on offense was just terrible, and did not adapt to the game at all.

Punting with eleven minutes to go in the fourth quarter was stupid

Who was responsible for that third down defensive collapse at the end of the first half?

McDaniel, for the opposite reason of last week.

Defense played well enough to win, especially considering how much they were on the field.  We just couldn't adjust offensively.  They took away the mid-range / deep ball and we didn't do enough with the short game, flat passes, screens, etc. to make it work.

The Chargers were very beatable.  We played like ass and still almost had a shot at it.

But McDaniel didn't give our offense enough to work with.  Guys weren't open and we tried to throw to them anyway.

Tua...he played even worse today than last week.

Tua.  For all the talk of how accurate he is, he's missed a bunch of throws (or didn't even attempt to throw) these past two games.

I have resisted the urge to join in the Tua praising party for the first 11 games this year.

The last two games this year will be crucial to his future here.

His first two years, he has come up short with the playoffs on the line.

This year, if it happens again, maybe it's time to move on.

Tua with HM to McDaniel for playcalling.

Second week in a row Tua has been incredibly inaccurate, last night was probably the worst game he has ever played, counting Pee Wee football. To think he can course correct on the road in the cold against Buffalo is a prayer.

I think Tua had the worst game. I can't fault McDaniels for missing receivers and completely ignoring the dump offs.

I see this differently than you guys putting this on Tua.  I didn't see him missing receivers or making bad reads.  I didn't really see open guys.

It looks like we didn't adjust well when they took away our options.

Last week against SF, there were open players getting missed.  Not this week.

He was short to Tyreek on the first play of the game and it got defended as he slowed to catch it. If he put that out there, like I'm sure they practiced it several times this week, we would have gone up 7-0. Not as bad as last week but he hasn't putting the ball out front of guys and several passes were defended as a result.

^ I thought that first play to Tyreek was a good throw.  It looked like the defender held down one of Tyreek's arms, causing it to be incomplete, but the ball was there, IMO.

The 2nd play to Waddle also would've moved the chains, was dropped entirely.

One more thing in defense of Tua: protection broke down and he used his legs to get some crucial yards more than once.

I'll bite on McDaniel too. We go in against one of the softest run defenses in the NFL, and only attempt 15 rushes with our two RBs?

The 49ers provided a blueprint on how to stop our offense, and McDaniel hasn't adjusted yet... we're in for a rough game against the Bills if he doesn't.

Also, Waddle has got to do something before the 4th quarter - his last two games have been extremely poor, but I know (hope) it's a minor blip.
