I blame Brandon Marshall

[LikeUntoGod]

Once again we were running the ball well with D Thomas.

But on 3rd and 3 for a 1st down or in the RedZone with 2nd and 2 yards for a TD we are almost forced to force the ball to Brandon Marshall.

Keeping this baby "happy" cost us another game.

Maybe running Thomas at the goalline only has a 50% chance of making it. That is better then the 4% chance that B Marshall is going to beat D Revis.

In playing Madden I have a simple way of dealing of dealing with the Jets and Revis. I run the ball and make him and Crom become tacklers all game.

If you throw at Revis 10 times a game you are going to get picked off. But keeping our mental Diva Alpha WR happy is forcing us to do things we cannot do. And he is costing us games.

Well if it works in madden...

You blame Brandon Marshall for the D collapsing as well?

The game is not Madden.
I do believe that Brandon Marshall was a big reason why we lost the game.
His drops in the red zone have killed us in that game and ever since he has arrived.
To compound his performances is his personality. The guy is a cancer hiding behind a illness excuse.
The sooner he is gone the better. Give Gates his reps..or Hartline.
What happened to Bess, he would move the chains for us?

WTF was the deal w him running out of bounds w a path to the end zone? It's almost as if he didn't want to score. Who knows what is going on in that crazy @@@ mind of his.

Just another disappointment in a never ending stream of them as a Dolphin fan.

This B Marsh hate is idiotic. Not gonna argue back and forth with nonsense viewpoints, but rest assured it's asinine.

Yeah it was Marshal's Fault He got pass interfered and got a no call..YES,he did drop another TD,but what did ANY other WR do?.Hartline was dropping EASY passes,Bess was MIA..Marshalls 100+ yards was definitely the reason we lost! and Not our D not getting ANY pressure on Sanchez.

In a way...yes. The defense lost its fire because the offense was sputtering. We should have had a 14-0 lead that the defense could have teed off. In addition though, the pass rush disappeared in the 2nd half. Bad scheme and play calling contributed too. Once the air started coming out of the balloon, the Jets could sense it and got stronger, especially after the drop/pick by BM in the end zone..

Most over-rated under achieving wide receiver in the NFL...

The guy is 6'4" and 230 lbs. He's not the quickest, most nimble guy out there. If you look at the play, the way he was running his route, and where the ball was placed it would have been extremely hard to keep his entire body from going out of bounds. In short, he lost his balance.

I blame Bill Parcells....

 

[phinman1]

Yeah, real asinine to get on a guy getting paid a ton of money to drop catch after catch in the end zone, say crazy @@@@ to embarrass the franchise and run out of bounds w a path to the endzone. The guy is a loser. Period.

 

[Swantoon]

Marshall has his share of the blame, but this was a team loss.

It is asinine to love a man so much and not see the flaws in his game. Between the 20's, BM played great. Inside the red zone, he couldn't catch zip. Even the MNF commentators saw it too. Your man crush is understandable, but BM is fools gold.

 

[rob19]

Also, Brandon Marshall isn't calling the plays. And he didn't 'drop' anything, the pass was deflected by the best corner in football. ALSO, he didn't run out of bounds intentionally, dude was off-balance. It happens and I'm sure he's disappointed in himself, but the dude is a freaking warrior. Did anyone see how hard he stiff armed Revis into the dirt on his first catch? That was fierce man.

The thought of this receiving core without Brandon Marshall is scary. The thought of having our potential franchise quarterback next year going into the season with Hartline, Bess, and Clyde 'Igotlikeonecatch' Gates, as our receiving core? Give me a break. You don't trade 2 second rounders for a guy, and then re-trade him for lesser value.
