Game Thread: Miami Dolphins @ Pittsburgh Steelers Week 8 Game Thread

[Paolo305613]

I like the versatility the Dolphins are showing on offense when it comes to personnel - which speaks to part of what I have ranted about in the past - in that the coaching staff seems more open with Fitzpatrick over Rosen, and its not due to any short-comings from Rosen - its favoritism and its part of whats hurt Rosen's development, among other things.

We are seeing a lot more different formations than usual tonight as well as personnel - the Fins are finally not running the same shit over and over.

uh-oh, the Fins are up 14 late in the 1st. The "Tank For Tua" bandwagon could be coming to a crashing halt. And I love it!

Horrible play call on 3rd and long for the Dolphins D - the Dolphins D rears its ugly head as the half comes to an end, and they have allowed this to be a game again now up just 14-10

 

[Paolo305613]

Fitzpatrick reverting back to his bad self again and just forcing throws now

Beyond horrible playcalling after a decent half. How do you all out blitz when it's 3-20???

Feel bad for the players as they are trying but playcalling blowing games...

 

[Paolo305613]

Bad QB play midway through this game along with collapses in that secondary have caused the fins to lose the lead

 

[Paolo305613]

As per usual with Fitzpatrick, the find abandon the running game and get pass happy

I blame the coaches horrible playcalling although I liked the rollout there.

 

[Paolo305613]

Fitzmagic fails yet again . The fund unnecessarily go for it in 4th — even more unnecessary to run it with Fitzpatrick— they got what they deserved there

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Well there was clear evidence there...F me. . If that was NE Pitt wasn't getting that spot.

 

[Paolo305613]

Flores looks foolish still complaining about the ruling on the measurement . He needs to look in the mirror, as well as the OC — for that horrible play call - as well as the play calling the entire second half

 

[Paolo305613]

That might do it . Of all the losses the fins have had this season , this one if easily one that can be said they earned — most of their previous losses have been a lot of unfortunate circumstances contributing— but this one is one they certainly earned . From bad coaching to unforced errors by the QB . The fins got away from what was working .

 

[FlyerFinFan]

DC blew the game in first half haven't recovered since then. Won't go anywhere with idiots like this...

 

[Paolo305613]

Wouldn’t you know it ? Another costly mistake from “ Fitzmagic “ at this point we need to change it to FitzTragic

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Bye bye Graham good riddance.

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Actually oshea can go too after that skins 2pt playcalling. Better to fix cordinators now than when games count. These guys are clueless.

It looked promising at first . It looked like they had a game plan . The running game was working and it opened things up — then mistakes by our secondary hurt the defense . As soon as Pittsburgh got back in the game , the dolphins abandoned the running game , along with the rest of their game plan — Fitzpatrick was his usual , reckless, pass happy self - and it predictably hurt the team as a whole . That’s why he’s not the answer . The “ spark” he supposedly provides is a falsehood. He’s only good enough to provide a small spark , then reverts to being the usual washed up, back up QB that he is . Josh Rosen needs to play the rest of the way — and he doesn’t need to sit unless he is hurt . At this point, Fitzpatrick is not doing anything on the field that could be a teachable moment for Rosen or any young QB that has to put up with watching his performances on a weekly basis . For all the shortcomings Josh has , as any young QB does - he is better off learning on the field than on the bench watching a guy that is only hurting the development of the offense and team at this point .

Agreed. The oline can at least decently protect him now make the switch please!

As per Flores he covered the bad calls during his presser but everyone on NFL network laughed at it... completely embarrassing.
