My notes from the game:
Started watching in the 2nd quarter due to my entire family being complete *******s.
The crowd looked feroscious. So jealous I couldn't make it to the game, but I can't attend night games. It was on fire. Didnt listen with volume too much, but you could just tell. I had never seen a Fins game this packed with Fins fans. Hopefully, same thing happens against the Bills and Jets, with Fins fans though.
Wildcat was rolling. Felt like they ran it a little bit too much at times, but if they cant stop it, keep running it. Using the same logic, if you go into a game, and the other team is stopping it, stop using it.
Passing game looked great. Sooooo many 3rd down conversions. Every touch by Polite, I called it, and every sweet pass down the middle by Pennington was awesome. Pennington showed great zip on the ball at times.
Ronnie was on fire as well, not only in the wildcat, you could really see him run for the extra yard or two. And what I like about our players is that if they know they're going down, they go down low, and dive for an extra yard or two. ALWAYS helps
Receivers did a great job catching everything their way. The Ginn play wasn't his fault. Gotta give him credit for getting up really high and giving it his all. The defender had great coverage but you could see him pull Ginn down. Should've been called pass intereference.
The 3 minute drill was horrible. No excuse for 2 plays costing us an entire minute and a TO. And that time out was as the play clock ran out.
No excuse for doing a QB sneak with under 2 minutes left just to get the 1st down.
Cant blame them for calling the TO when the Colts player went down since you have to call it right away.
Rush defense looked tremendous. So did pass defense. Both sides struggled in the part that if a Colt was running free inside the 50, they would give up.
But listen to me here:
Last week, the defense played outstanding and the offense played horrendous. The offense's mistakes were corrected completely in a matter of a week. The defense wasn't horrible. But these same mistakes will be fixed by next game. Dont forget that last year, its not that we started 0-2, but after being 2-2, we went on to lose the next 2 games to get to 2-4. Different schedule, but we won't be 2-4 this season.
Last week, I posted a thread called "Feel Good Loss". This was the most painful Dolphins loss ever for me. I really thought we were going to pull it through. But you know what? ONE play goes different(offense or defense), and we have Penny for MVP, Sparano for HOY. etc. The game was a lot like the Miami-FSU game in that perspective. One play changed how everyone analyzed that game and both teams. Im a UM fan, so I went to sleep very satisfied and very pumped up about the next day, but now I know how FSU fans felt. That feeling of hopelessness, that feeling of ...............(complete the sentence).
I was supossed to study after the game, and I just couldnt. I went to sleep and just couldn't. I had a few tests today, and I just couldn't concentrate.
I dont ever want to go to bed feeling like that again.
Peace
