Game Thread: Miami Dolphins Week 9 Game 8 Game Thread

And as is the norm, the Fins give up their first of many big plays on third and long

 

[Paolo305613]

Again

 

[Paolo305613]

Raiders have to settle for a FG but they moved the ball a little too easy especially on third down - that shouldn't ever happen

 

[Paolo305613]

Penalties again kill a Dolphins drive - we of course go conservative on third and long followed by another flag.

Needed a stop on D. Field looks like shit again

 

[Paolo305613]

Another scoreless first quarter but at least not yet out of this one

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Parker needs to put his head down and fight for the yard he seems to shy away from that

They are the best grounds crew in all sports from their days of having to convert a football field into a baseball field - but the rain has been a factor along with the Canes game there last night. I think they've done as good a job with it as they possible could under circumstances.

Agreed but not if he has to sacrifice ball security for it

 

[Paolo305613]

Nice effort from Williams there to get that TD

 

[Paolo305613]

Naturally, the XP is missed

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Ajayi wouldn't have made those catches good on Williams

Agreed not all on them but in years past it was never this bad. They need to figure this out for player safety. Canes shouldn't play same weekend as Fins at home.

 

[Paolo305613]

Good execution of onside kick

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Onside wow

 

[Paolo305613]

Certainly not. But to be fair he wasn't known to be a pass-catching RB to begin with. Williams and Drake have always been that since college - which is why I always screamed to go RB by committee because I know that they each bring something a little different the other may lack.

But, Gase wanted to feature only one guy I guess and then make it personal when it didn't work out.

 

[Paolo305613]

I was just thinking the same thing - thats obviously difficult for teams who share stadiums.

I believe it would have to be the Dolphins as primary owners of the stadium to start the conversation about scheduling

 

[Paolo305613]

And then Drake fumbles -- maybe because his name is drake?

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Crud wet ball have to secure it Drake otherwise he had a nice run.

The downside of SNF, IMO, is Chris Collinsworth. The most annoying, way-too-giddy white guy in the NFL.
