The dolphins don't need the help

They're clearly a more talented team

But this game would be closer than it is if we had even replacement level officiating

I think Mac is physically incapable of throwing the ball away. I mean that literally, his arm isn't strong enough to throw it away while avoiding both an intentional grounding and an interception.

Mac is never aware of the game clock. He is always surprised by the two minute warning or the end of the first or third quarters.

Hard to blame the defense too much for this one. They are going to give up points against the Fins. 10 points for the offense and Mac sucking is the story...and the refs.
Yeah, my only issue with the defense was giving up some third and longs (could have been a penalty) and the fourth down conversions. But again that could all be explained by the refs if one wanted to look at it that way.

The booth said people were covered, not that he had no time. He had time, at the least he can throw it away.
He moved to the left into the rusher, he doesn’t have an instinct for where he should move if the initial read or two isn’t there and he has to buy time for his protection

The booth agreed with my post - he was doomed that play. You are just bitter now which is understandable. Nobody is selling Mac Jones here.
Dude. Rewatch the play and count it yourself from the snap. It was almost a full 5 seconds before he turtled. 5 seconds is plenty of time.

Mac is still the QB so maybe it is for the better. But with Judon and the rookie CB, this would be a much closer game. Its a shame they got hurt because this defense could have been special.

Getting our best receiver injured on a play that never had a hope of being a first down seems right on brand.

So, now no Bourne for the season?

Anyone ready to hop on the "top 3 draft pick" express?! I've been conducting this train for a few weeks. Only a few seats left on the caboose.
