Fins still in the game after 1 quarter - progress

Bobby McCain with a nice pick after it looked like Dak had all the time in the world

I know the critics will look at Rosens numbers and find fault in him - but he has made some great throws and moved around. Dallas has simply knocked down some of those passes and there has been some drops - but he is showing progress.

 

[Paolo305613]

Rosen might have to come out after that hit - might be Fitzpatrick time again - bad news

 

[Paolo305613]

Rosen is coming back

 

[Paolo305613]

Williams drops the would be tying TD

 

[Paolo305613]

Drake with a fumble at the worse possible time -- that is not going to help his case to get more carries

 

[Paolo305613]

Down only 4 at the half despite shooting yourselves on the foot a lot

 

[Paolo305613]

A lapse on defense and Dallas opens the second half with a TD to put the Fins down 11

 

[Paolo305613]

In more uplifting news, Adam Gase and hits Jets are getting throttled

 

[Paolo305613]

Dak may have just put the nail in the coffin

Taco Charlton gets a sack against his former team

 

[Paolo305613]

Now clowns in the media want to suggest the Dolphins are tanking because they didnt chalenge the TD that wasn't called in their favor. They didnt challenge iit because there wouldn't have been enough to overturn based on the call on the field. Its that simple

 

[Paolo305613]

It might be time to try and trade Drake, btw - His demeanor after his fumble was as careless as what caused him to fumble that ball.

With Drake, his attitude is not so much due to how the season is going for the team - but his playing time - He has continued to make mistakes that have affected his PT - if he cant understand that he has to rightfully earn his PT than he doesnt need to be here any longer

Tough loss yet again - but the Dolphins did create more chances to score - they just shot themselves on the foot one too many times, especially in the second half.

The good thing is, they showed gradual improvements on both sides of the ball - the kicking game must be better, however.

No turnovers by Rosen - the sacks were a combination of poor blocking on a particular play - and just have to credit the Dallas defense.

Still not happy with the lack of balance between running vs pass plays - but the Dolphins did do a better job with time of possession - despite ultimately losing that battle.

The penalty yardage was kept low - the timing of those penalties was the bigger issue

Thankfully, the Dolphins have gotten out of these 3 losses fairly healthy outside of the Hurns situation. Hopefully he will be fine eventually. It was looking like he was poised for a decent game prior to that.

All you can ask for in a rebuilding situation is to make gradual improvement - and we are starting to see that after the week 1 performance.

Yes agreed and we must remember that Davis went out early which eventually hurt the oline. It's bloody ridiculous he's played RG, RT, LT and now injured. deiter had to kick out to LT which is crazy for a rookie. Under the circumstances they didn't do horrible and Rosen played well too. D was also decent with all considered but they need more passrush...

I agree with you with regards to the pass rush. That being said, I don't think the coaches are being as aggressive with calling it due to the issues with miss tackles and the other problems plaguing the defense.

Once the defense improves in other areas - the pass rush will be more aggressive.
