Dolphin, its whats for dinner
ok, first off, im a bills fan, but im not one of those trolls here just to rub it in. i acutally want to give my take on the game.
i have been saying for a week now how the fins would not change offensive gameplans to run the ball. i was wrong. they did run, and were effective doing so. but they were stopped on 4th down twice early which i feel were the game changing plays/calls of the game. and after that the running game was slowed and harrington didnt complete many 3rd downs.
the fins secondary is the weakest link in the fins D. they didnt give up to many plays, but the ones they did give up resulted in points. i dont think that was a surprise to many since everyone in the nfl knows the safety position needed improvement. i see the fins signing a big name beast at safety in the offseason to correct that and lead the secondary like JT has for the D-Line and ZT has for the LBs.
the fins limited McGahee and even put him on the sidelines for a while. the fins D did what they were supposed to. The fin offense screwed up today.
I have been a big fan of harrington ever since the bills wanted to draft him. but the fin offense seemed to struggle all day. the bills were playing the pass all day, and actually slowed the runnig game down after the 1st quarter and managed to keep the fins from completing 3rd downs, even if that was due to a few drops and poor passes from harrington. i knew harrington would throw some INTs which would determin the outcome of the game, but a 0 passing rating was unexpected to say the least. nothing went well for him. dropped passes on 3rd down by one of the best afc TEs, really turned the mommentum to the bills.
in the end the fins, with harrington, could not pass the ball effectively. lemon did ok, but that was really just junk time and the only thing he ended up doing was trying to break the shut out.
i will give saban credit for going for it on 4th down on the bills goaline. that was something i can respect.
this was the bills superbowl. we are "still in it" but i am still in touch with reality and understand that this was our only real playoff game. i was very worried going in to this game, but it turned out to be one of my best memories of bills football.
the fins D-line played well, and the fins D played well. especially Thomas who is a god damn beast. JT had some good plays, a sack and defelcted pass on a 3rd and 1. but overall i think the bills O-Line playing ok agenst a very good fin D-line, JP making accurate passes, and the bills D stopping the passing game on 3rd down resulted in the bills win. :D
