Agreed!

This is a tough game. The Saints dominated Carolina. The Fins have to get better at the line of scrimmage to have a chance to win this week. The Oline has to get Ajayi room to run & the team some time to make plays in the passing game. The Dline has to pressure Brees or he will pick the secondary apart.

Worthless wildcat formation that gets called for illegal formation

 

[Paolo305613]

Early on it seems that Gase is doing what he hasn't done the first couple of weeks and that is to find the right matchup and go to that - mixing it up on offense -- rather than sticking to one or two of the same guys.

And of course the drives ends in an INT

now to put it on that shaky defense for the Fins

Supposedly they will be playing more press-man this week- we can only hope

 

[Paolo305613]

After 1, Fins still in it -- for now - the defense looks poised to give one up here. On the other hand, Tankersley holding his own

Saved by the missed FG

Need a drive here. Thomas false start was killer right when they were getting rolling on the last one.

What a sloppy game. Seems London games are never a good representation of the league.

 

[richig07]

My god... Do Hocculi crews always throw flags like this? Or is this actually that sloppy?

 

[Paolo305613]

Bad blocking, penalties and no where for Jay to throw the ball and another promising drive stalls

 

[richig07]

Wow. Helluva game, eh?

We looking at a scoreless halftime?

That flag was very questionable. This crew needs to start letting em play out there. Especially seeing as the league is trying to sell a product to a lot of people who don't know the game. Flag every other play and zero points can't help that cause.

 

[richig07]

Okay, should have good field position.

Come on Jay.

There was maybe 1-2 times where a flag was thrown when it shouldn't have been -- on both sides.

To your point about London/International games - I am glad you brought it up so I can rant about it.

I am so sick of these games, not just because the Dolphins are involved and it fucks up fans sleep, players and all this other scheduling/logistics nonsense, but its just pointless.

I get the league is trying to grow the game, but there are many great cities here in the US that deserve and should get an NFL team - going to London without even entertaining the idea of one of these great US cities first is nonsense.

If they want to keep doing the London crap they need to do it just in the pre-season. In the pre-season teams struggle to draw fans because its pre-season and all that boring stuff - if you do a pre-season game oversees I am betting you will get the same great attendance in preseason as you would a regular season game as opposed to here. People over there just want to enjoy the sport and spectacle.

Would be nice for the Fins to score before the half here but I know thats a daunting task for them

 

[richig07]

This is completely ridiculous. Let them play!

I couldn't care less about "selling a product" They just need to calls things rightly and evenly. There is a lot of tension out there between some players so throwing flags in those situations is ok so things don't escalate into something unnecessary. Hopefully everyone involved gets their head out of their ass at the half

Yeah, I could rant about the stupid "going global" idea all day.

I don't care either, but this is brutal to watch as a fan. Especially since I'm pulling for the Dolphins, and they've had a handful of good plays called back. lol

With our luck, Fins will go 3 and out here and find some way to give up TWO scores in the time remaining even in this sloppy game... because Dolphins
