Lots of holding, late hits on the QB, PI's being committed against the Dolphins on this drive - refs go blind, of course

Bobby McCain with a much needed takeaway with that INT

Another wasted drive after getting a turnover - no running game to speak of at the moment - which is why getting the TEs involved is even more important today - more bogus penalties against the Fins - more weak ass third and long play calls - drive done.

Every play one Cheatriots OL is holding multiple guys on the play and none of it is called - on the other side, phantom penalties called every play.

Whenever a winning streak is broken I say its a good lesson to bring to light the things the team has been doing wrong but getting away with - but games against the Cheatriots are always bad game-film -- so many bogus calls against the opponent, you can't really make note of actual mistakes you've made.

Beyond some bad play calls on offense that is

Hey FFF, we have disagreed many times. Not surprising considering our teams. I have enjoyed most of the disagreements we have had. Calling you out for making excuses prior to playing the game seems appropriate. Take it how you like but you are better than this. May the better team win Sunday.....
You were saying about the refs...wow brutal today already.

Kilgore out with injury now

And, no, the refs calling 3 penalties on one play doesn't make up for all the bogus penalties they've called earlier - and the ones they've got left in them

And now a botched snap that the haters will blame on Tannehill without a doubt

This one is just about in the bag. Fins have no pulse on either side of the ball. The refs give another assist to the Cheatriots

Doesn't matter they aren't remotely prepared to play today but refs sure didn't help to start. Phantom holds even on uncatchable balls it's over...

No doubt the refs are a factor as they usually are in any game that involves the Cheatriots - But, another issue that has been masked in the 3 wins that I have complained about is -- the lack of commitment to the run. And the UNWILLINGNESS for Gase to stick with it -- he abandons the run way too easily and quickly. It is almost like he could care less about the running game being apart of the game plan.

Adam Gase continues to run an all-or-nothing offense as I call it - go for it all on every play with the pass, if its not there/if its not working just fold as opposed to trying to run the ball. I have always said that approach is going to get old eventually.

Definitely have to run the ball but why give gronk a free release they are giving them the game...

Adam Gase has got to go back to elementary school with regards to play-calling/game-planning/approach

The idea of running a tempo-offfense/no-huddle offense is well and good, but if you can't possess the ball for even two minutes its just pointless.

Hope Adam Gase realizes and addresses the teams mistakes and problems and actually corrects them - and doesn't just go all Belicheat on us as usual in his post-game press conference.

7 yards rushing in first half against the 31st rushing D in the league is anemic. I really thought Fins had something going this year, looks like a case of the "same ole same ole"

15 pass attempts vs 7 rush attempts for the Dolphins offense in the first half - You can't call that balanced - then again, I am not convinced that is a priority for Gase.

They can still get something going. Its early in the season. Its a 16-game regular season. If any one thinks that 3 games was going to tell the complete story for this 2018-19 season for ANY team, simply is out of their mind.

As I mentioned in previous post, the first thing Adam Gase must do is acknowledge the mistakes - not go all Belicheat post-game and get cocky with reporters by throwing things under the rug because he thinks they may not understand coach-lingo about the strategic aspect of things.

Maybe its because I'm pissed but it looks like Walt Aikens has had one too many unsportsmanlike penalties on him this season. Again, I will say that this season is surely one of the better seasons as far as the Fins have more high-character guys than usual, but there are still some guys who seem to only be able to show their "toughness" with lousy behavior like that on the field.

Already seeing the silly narrative the idiot local media is trying to sell the fan base after this loss " well at least the Dolphins will remain in first place going into next week"

Always trying to sell the worthless moral victories to disregard the real issues.

The Fins have FOUND ways to start the season 3-0 now they must face the Cheatriots, the NFL and the refs to try and continue their winning ways in what should be a more challenging stretch of games leading up to their bye week.


Nice thread, Faggot. :L

Another unsurprising(to me) thing that has proved costly for the Fins today, is the fact that they've been predictable as usual as to who they target on offense. Yes, its great when they spread it around, but its the same fucking guys in the same fucking manner every week. Adam Gase has to allow for Tannehill to target other guys.
