Ouch.
Ryan Tannehill had one of those "rookie games" he'd avoided for most of the year today.
He was intercepted three times and never really got anything going offensively. However, there are bigger problems the Fins must address after the last two weeks.
The defense simply cannot get off the field on third down. Tennessee converted 8-17 third down attempts. That's horrid.
The offense, adversely, cannot stay on the field. Tannehill and company went 2-13 today on third downs. That too is horrid.
Another issue that Miami must correct is the turnovers. They committed four of them today. The Titans scored off each one.
How about that once great run defense? Chris Johnson ran for over 100 yards today, and was the first rusher to do so against Miami since week two of last season.
Discipline. The Fins just don't have it, and they haven't for a couple weeks now. Holding calls and personal fouls led to seven Miami penalties today for 67 yards. It got so bad that Richie Incognito was benched at one point after a costly personal foul.
Ryan Tannehill will be fine. The kid had a bad today, but he was also playing from a huge deficit the entire game. All rookies go through growing pains, it happens.
However, things must turn around quickly as the Fins will suit up again in just four days in Buffalo. And they will be coming off their worst loss in 12 years. Yikes.
It's gonna be a looooong four days.
More to come.
