After last week's loss to the Texans, the Dolphins needed a win to get back to .500 and avoid a 2-4 whole. Heading into a stretch of their schedule with five out of their next six games at home, they had an opportunity to win some games and make a run. However, they were beaten soundly by the Ravens, and it was an ugly sight for Dol-fans to see Cam Cameron getting a Gatorade bath on the opposing sideline.
I thought when it came down to it, the reason we lost this game is because the Ravens were a better version of us today. Both teams like to hit up front and are lacking at receiver and corner right now, so the game was going to come down to either who out-hit who or somebody's little guys stepping up and making the other team's look bad. On this day, it was the Ravens out-hitting us on both sides of the ball, and our little guys didn't do enough to tilt the balance. All day long, the Ravens could run and we couldn't, and they pressured the passer while we didn't. The result was their rookie quarterback playing very efficiently while our veteran looked like a rookie, throwing a pick six. It was our second straight week giving up a return touchdown and, not surprisingly, our second straight loss.
Oh yeah, and we got out-coached by Cameron...ouch.
