Game Thread: Miami Dolphins @-VS New England Cheatriots and the refs?

[Paolo305613]

And we give up a TD before the half - we get the ball to start the half at least, but obviously pointless being down this much already - yet we are lucky to only be down 19 at the half.

Lifeless first half for the dolphins - especially on offense

 

[Paolo305613]

it was a bush league play call, so we got a bush league result - thats how it works

Take knee here

 

[psaboy]

Please dont run a play

 

[psaboy]

please stop running plays so you don't turn over ball

 

[psaboy]

lets see this FG

 

[psaboy]

get blocked and Pats score again?

 

[Paolo305613]

And for no reason we attempt a worthless long field goal and miss it 19-0 at the half

 

[Paolo305613]

58 points last two weeks in the first halves - nothing this week - funny how good any coach looks when he is coaching a team playing against less than stellar opponents huh?

Our defense has kept us in this game, so to speak, thus far, but that won't last for much longer if we don't score points soon

 

[Paolo305613]

A quick strike for the Fins to start the half - could've used it to start the game - lets see what happens now

 

[Paolo305613]

Fins had at least been a good third quarter starting team under Philbin, maybe the motivate, Dan Campbell went to the so called comatose Philbin, for some advice at the half on how to get going again?

 

[Paolo305613]

alarming stat there 5 pre-snap penalties tonight for Fins - unforced errors. not good.

Philbin coached team would have scored 30 at best against same teams, he sucked.

O Line looking at each other and scratching their ass as Tanny gets sacked twice

Ordinarily, I'd give a fan-base a bunch of s___ for a thread like this ending in a game like this.
I won't tonight because Paolo will do it for me.
You are heading in the right direction, you'll get there. Good coaching change.....

Dude, stop defending Phibin. He was/is not a good head coach. It was a bad hire and extension from one of the worse owners in league, period.

"Good game you guys" - The Cheatriots.

D played well but the offense did everything that they could to lose it. Still too immature and Campbell allowed Lazor to get away from the run way too fast again. If they ran more worst case they are down 9-12 zip. Would have been in the game in the second half. Ah well hopefully they learn from this.

 

[Paolo305613]

So what are the excuses that are going to be used to defend the motivator Campbell or will he get the criticism he deserves? There was an early commitment to the run, but they obviously got away from it with the early deficit. We didn't get the tight ends involved - In our passing game we only go to Landry or Mattews - we were as predictable as people cried about us being under Philbin last night.

Defensively we started great but obviously ran out of gas thanks to an inefficient offense. It wasn't until about midway into the second quarter where the dolphins defense decided to bring pressure on Brady - Then Cam Wake got hurt, which could be season ending.

The worst aspect of our game last night is one that probably went unnoticed - it was our return game, both punt and kick returning - we just did not create any positive field position to help the offense, add to that a bunch of pre-snap penalties - far too many.

A lack of mental discipline and preparation. Who does that fall on? hmm! the coach? The short week, the opponent is not an excuse. And, I thought the refs would be a factor in this game, but the cheatriots took care of us before that and made the refs a non-factor.

next week against the bills as we are now 0-3 in the division. division title hopes over - still, gotta pick up a few division wins and conference wins for tiebreaker purposes for the playoff hunt.
