Game Thread: Miami Dolphins vs Cinncinati Bengals Game Thread

[Paolo305613]

One day away from game day - No one has started a thread so I will keep doing threads I guess.

Fins tried out a hand full of WRs yesterday but signed none - Beat writers stating they will go with what they got and that who ever they would have signed probably would not have played anyway given the short time to prepare. I think it is BS given that we our already without Keller and now Gibson that they would not sign someone to at least take up a roster spot just in case. While we do have options on the PS, the guys we tried out have a bit more experience.

Anyhow, this has to be the week we bounce back or our season goes down the drain.We have a stretch of 6 games that I think are very winable coming up before we close out against the division again. This is a crucial stretch if we want to be in it still in those final 3 games

I still think they have a chance at playoffs win or lose but confidence wise this would be a good one to win. I see more two tight end sets which can work. Lousy that Sims and Martin may not play. Overall they're just not catching any breaks....

I'm not the only one thinking Sherman is fucking up. See below.

Jeff Darlington of the NFL Network reports players in the Dolphins locker room are beginning to question offensive coordinator Mike Sherman.
Morning take: Sherman’s play calling has been an issue all year, particularly when it comes to abandoning the run. Sunday against New England, the Dolphins called 22 run plays in the first half and just nine in the second half. Questions will only grow if the Dolphins continue to lose.

I just don't get it especially when rushing for 5 yards on average! Do the math Sherman!

Thanks for starting the threads I appreciate it as I'm just busy these days....

Hate to say this, but if we had trouble with NE's defense, I pity us against the Bengals. This O-line better pass protect this week or forget it, b/c I dont think we'll be able to run the ball well against Cincy's tenacious D.

GO FINS!!!!

I don't buy into the talk that some players are questioning Sherman - That is just media talking its crap on an otherwise slow day of news surronding the team. When they were on the 3 game winning streak, there was no such talk - This crap only happens after a string of losses. There is nothing to it.

While the coaching has not helped with execution for the most part - All it really comes down to is execution on the field.

I like the idea of more 2 TEs sets, but hopefully that wont just translate to better protection but also more targeting of our TEs to get them involved in the short and intermediate routes instead of falling in love with our WRs which might lead to turnovers if the defense keys in on them

Already a bad start with a sack on Tannehill - Every time we get into passing formations that require time for things to develop, bad things happen. We need to go with quicker pass play calls. And run the ball as often as possible.

 

[Paolo305613]

Tough field position to start this next drive - We need to run it down their throats to get some space - otherwise we will give them good field position early.

 

[Paolo305613]

It had to be a Florida Gayturd to miss the FG - great opportunity to get going against a solid team and you fail - They shouldve gone for it from the beginning

Damn Miller, hold on to ball

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Did Sherman get the message???? I say wait until we see the second half!!! If he doesn't keep an even ratio fire his ass....

 

[Paolo305613]

We suck on third down defense and offense now

 

[Paolo305613]

Thankfully Cincy held - But we cant play this bad on third down defense… Its sad

 

[Paolo305613]

Pick 6 by Brent Grimes… A little guy with a big heat and big game!

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Huge pick 6.

 

[Paolo305613]

We win this game and all the Sherman whinning goes away for at least another week, hopefully!

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Another bad call when will it end.....

 

[FlyerFinFan]

We win this game and all the Sherman whinning goes away for at least another week, hopefully!

Depends if he abandons the run again or not....he did fine but the refs step in and fuckem

 

[Paolo305613]

Cant blame Sherman for not being able to stop Giovanni Bernard and the Bengals on third down, or can we? Fins Nation always seems to find a way

 

[Paolo305613]

Very bad miss tackle there - we went soft there
