Dolphins choke away playoff birth, lose to Jets 20-7

As I wrote in my column yesterday, a loss today simply meant the Miami Dolphins just weren't very good.

20-7.

Season over. Playoffs gone. And a disastrous beginning to the offseason.

Everything that had to happen, did.

Baltimore lost. Miami had a 7-0 lead against Geno Smith, at home, in a must win game.

And then they were out scored 20-0.

With everything on the line, the Miami Dolphins had a melt down of epic proportions.

Ryan Tannehill threw 3 INT's. He wasn't good enough.

The Dolphin defense was gashed on the ground.

They weren't good enough.

The play calling was an abomination.

Mike Sherman wasn't good enough.

When they established a run game, they passed. When the pass was working, they ran.

On 4th and inches, Sherman ran Charles Clay, instead of just running a sneak.

On third and three, after a sleu of big time runs, Sherman called a screen to Mike Wallace.

It was simply horrific.

Tannehill overthrew a Mike Wallace TD.

Wallace dropped a TD.

Rishard Matthews dropped a third down pass.

Geno Smith was barely touched.

Point the finger wherever you want, the bottom line is this:

In control of their own destiny, the Miami Dolphins lost back to back games to Thad Lewis, and Geno Smith.

They were not good enough this season.

And now, it's over.
