The answer is not listed.

Correct answer is Jai Ajai.

He ran like a man possessed. When we stopped him it almost looked like luck. He and an underrated O Line (they lost their best lineman to injury early in the game) wore down the D and enabled Miami to execute a very smart game plan.

Cutler TORCHED our defense! Too many penalties.

Cutler didn't torch the defense.  He averaged 4.58 yards per pass  and only threw for 151 yards.  He was awful.

He should have torched the defense though.  Everybody was wide open all day long.  It's just that he was terrible.

And the Dolphins still won.

It's a combination of factors and personnel. 

Harris with the botched snap? That's just a WTF moment. Probably the only time that will ever happen. 

The O-line struggled badly, as did the D-line. More than the lack of pressure, the problem was that we were  getting gashed for 4 and 5 yard runs all day. 

The flag on Rocky was a bad break. Grady made a mistake, but it isn't like he does this frequently. And it wasn't *that* bad of a penalty anyway. However, I'd have rather seen him plant Cuttler into the turf if we're gonna get the flag anyway. 

I don't know why everyone is mad at Sark -- our O-line couldn't keep Matt clean or open up holes in the second half. We were running well in the first half, and that opened up some deep shots.

Why would you have rather seen Grady plant Cutler in the turf?  That's what makes the penalty so bad, Cutler was horrible in this game, why are we hitting that guy late?

Here are the reasons you can't blame Sark:

1. Sark is not on the field, and even if he was the crappiest OC of all time, these players are professionals and should already know how to catch a football, make a block, or know when to throw a football.

2. These same problems existed before Sark came to Atlanta.

3. Sark is not the one dropping passes, ignoring defensive players and letting them get to the backfield, or throwing the ball to the other team.

4. The fact that Ryan can audible any play. He is not forced to run a play he thinks sucks.

 

Here are the reason you can't blame Grady Jarrett. Yes, he made a bone headed play which allowed them to continue ONE of their drives, but one stupid mistake isn't going make the Dolphins score AND prevent the offense from scoring.

It's not Austin Hooper's fault since he didn't throw an interception. He didn't tell the QB to throw the football in his direction let alone double coverage.

The idea that your going to single out one guy **** why not blame the long snapper while your at it lol.

You win and lose as a team you don't single out 1 guy Jesus is this what this place drops down to when we lose good god.

I thought crap like this was behind us obviously not.

Yeah man I understand Grady's penalty was brutal but this whole team collectively played like *** yesterday. From the owner and looking like he didn't give a **** while up 17-0 to the coaches getting out-coached in every aspect and the players not executing when they had a chance to.

If you're gonna get a flag, you may as well get your money's worth. 

I'm not saying he should have ruptured his spleen or anything, but if you're gonna get flagged, I want Cuttler seeing stars when he gets up.

Yeah I wouldn't have wanted the Falcons to touch Cutler without the ball in his hands, might hurt him.  He tried to give the game to the Falcons several times, he was really really bad yesterday.  Most of his incompletions were just him throwing bad passes to wide open receivers.  That late hit by Jarrett was just one of the dumbest penalties ever.

This loss is on Dan Quinn. 

He is quickly losing the team.

Lol this is thee dumbest post I've seen in along time.

The idea a coach that has not even half a season from taking this franchise to the big game is losing the team is as above the dumbest thing I've seen post d on here in awhile.

Right up there with the idiot who thought we'd trade Jake Locker for MR2 straight up.

When ALL three phases look so sloppy and uninspired, at home, after a bye, Quinn is pretty high on my list ...

Bingo.  People want to point the finger at this one guy or that one guy, this was a complete and utter failure of the entire team.  Offense, Defense, Special Teams, Coaching.  Complete failure all around.

Wow,  lemme go cry a fkn river in my pillow.

By the pure kneejerk reaction of your comment, there is clearly no doubt that my comment hit a sore nerve.
