As it turns out I was of course correct all along and MJD was finally the guy smart enough to help me prove my point. Whats great is he did it to secure a victory over the JETS!!!!!!!!!
Of course this couldve been Jack Del Rio's idea who IMHO has been a genius when it comes to managing these type of games late. Remember how Garrard slid and they beat the Steelers in the playoffs that year?
Heres what happened today...............

Thats right folks. As I said all along last season, we beat the Texans if Ronnie simply gets on the ground once he gains the appropriate yardage for the first down at the 2 yard line. The phins wouldve been able to take 3 knees and leave the Texans with no more than 12 seconds and kick the would be game winning FG.
Instead, Ronnie stat-whores it up and gets into the endzone. Leaving of course almost 2 full minutes for a Texans offense we couldnt stop all day long to go down and score the game winnning TD. Yep.
Great job today MJD and Del-Rio. You are certainly playing the game on a much more intelligent level than that of Tony Morono and Ronnie are.
This is just further evidence of Morono's very weak game management skills that have come into question big time this season. He shouldve informed everyone on that offense during the TO right before that Ronnie TD that once you gain the yardage for the first down, GET ON THE GROUND.
You dont even have to take a knee. Just GET DOWN. Then we take the knees and kick the game winning FG. Ballgame. Phins win.
Its that simple. The GOAL shouldve been made CLEAR. The mission shouldve been GET A FIRST DOWN, not a TD.
But, oh well. Keep listening to Morono. I dont know wtf Im talking about.
Edit: Notice the similar situations. The phins were trailing the Texans by one point. I remember a lot of peoples argument was you dont play like that when trailing and Westbrooks move was with a one point lead.....BS. A chip shot FG like that is made 99% of the time. Much greater chance of success than our D stopping the Texans last year who passed all over us all day long. All Ronnie had to do was get down. They only had one timeout left and we couldve taken that clock down to around 12 seconds before kicking the FG.
