Game Thread: Miami Dolphins Regular Season Week 1 Game Thread vs Baltimore Ravens

Wonder if the Dolphins will give Rosen a shot in the second half at this point

Nice TD for Williams before the half

Williams looked good he's a keeper. I think that there was simply too much change they'll be better in a few weeks. Real scrub play by harbaugh on punt fake.

 

[Paolo305613]

Fitzpatrick out there still

Welp no Fitzmagic today that's for sure. Wow!

Anyone think Lamar Jackson can keep this up or is this just a fluke right now?

I thought about it but I didn't want to bring it up as its pretty soft to complain about such stuff at this point in the game - but its certainly looked like he has been trying to run things up at times. I would expect that from his brother at the college level but not here.

Any chance they get, the Fins have to do something similar - come at Lamar hard and try to knock him out. As long as they try to light up the score board at this point -- it should be game on against their QB to come at him with hard hits. If it causes him to get taken out of the game by injury -- those are the consequences.

 

[Paolo305613]

As for Williams, he's proven what he could do -- I think our WRs will be just fine - it would just be nice if the Dolphins would attempt to establish the run early enough to allow our WRs to do their part

 

[Paolo305613]

A lot of bad disciplined type penalties for the Dolphins D today - not a good showing when your HC is a defensive minded guy.

It doesn't surprise me that the veterans are the ones making the worse mistakes

 

[NorEEzta]

Phins will giving Flores back to NE by week 4.

 

[Paolo305613]

Josh Rosen finally in the game - unfortunately throws an INT right away.

Glad to see him in the game - but its about 3 quarters too late. There were better situations you could've brought him in to the game.

They just want to get him some reps. I blame that int on Grant as he jogged it...

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Now that was bush league play action pass.... Wow

Hopefully it won't be long before he is given a shot at more meaningful reps on game day.

As for the screen pass - classless is a word that seems reserved for the Cheatriots -- but its almost the way the Ravens have approached this game from the start.

Its one thing to go out there and handle yourself like a pro and do your job right - but some of the things they've done -- since early in this game -- has been unnecessary. Its too bad the Dolphins don't have enough of a pulse to do something about it like take out one of their key players -- its what needs to happen in times like these.

 

[Paolo305613]

Now that RG3 is in the game - I take back some of what I have said. No need to go out there and try to hurt him -- if it were Lamar still -- it would be a different story.

I am going to bring back the subject of a lot of my rants last season considering it was a problem today as well.

Yes, the Dolphins got down big, early. But, this was of their own doing by deciding to differ the opening kickoff, rather than trying to create some momentum themselves first. When you get down big, you are forced to throw more in order to try to catch up. That being said, 12 carries versus 32 pass attempts is simply a troubling difference. Most troubling is that our top 2 RBs only got 9 of those carries.

All week the team talked about, at the very least, trying to neutralize Lamar Jackson and try to make him and the offense one-dimensional, but the Dolphins did the complete opposite.

Again, no matter how low the expectations/goals for the season -- Some soul searching will be required after a loss like this.

38% ratio seems in line with gase look how that worked out with a pour oline.

It was as if Gase was still calling plays

 

[Paolo305613]

In his post-game comments, Brian Flores, confirmed the somewhat unfortunate obvious -- Ryan Fitzpatrick will go into week 2 at the starter

Yep pissed me off more than anything give your team a chance to compete...

Yeah expected that. If they want to pass all game may as well let Fitz take the hits.
