"This is an ugly loss, about as ugly as it's been in the coach Mike McDaniel era. Forget about WR Tyreek Hill being out with a season-ending knee injury. The run defense was terrible and the Dolphins' ability to get the ball to TE Darren Waller disappeared. There's no excuse for this kind of loss, especially blowing a 17-0 lead in the process."
"The Dolphins' sieve run defense allowed 242 yards before Bryce Young started kneeling to run out the clock. That represents record futility for the first five games of a Dolphins season with an insane 872 yards on the ground. Dolphins need to get into sell mode for the trade deadline now, if not sooner. The Dolphins' collapse was unsightly and it goes primarily onto the defense's shoulders. Dolphins are staring into the abyss."
The Miami Dolphins surrendered a 17-0 lead and lost to the Carolina Panthers after a dismal defensive performance and a stalled offense. The run defense allowed 242 rushing yards and contributed to a season total of 872 ground yards through five games. The offense struggled to involve TE Darren Waller and went quiet after the early lead, with WR Tyreek Hill sidelined by a season-ending knee injury. Staffers labeled the loss ugly and unsightly, urged the team toward sell mode for the trade deadline, and warned that the season is sliding into crisis.
