Yes the Dolphins lost....and they made plenty of stupid mistakes....yet they still had a very good chance to win...and thats the good part.

Anyone watching that game knows where the Dolphins will be picking in the future drafts....Wide receiver and secondary....both are so obviously needs.

Watching our so called primary receiver GINN...is like watching time go by....I believe the Dolphins would be better off if they used one of the cheerleaders instead of him. What a wasted pick...when you think of the players the Dolphins could have had instead!

When you think of all the receivers the Dolphins have had over the years...just where do you place Ginn?

If not for the Dolphin TE's....the receivers could have played cards behind the stadium.

There's enough blame to go around...just one on mind really bug's me...3rd and 2 on the Jets 2...what do they call...a pass...why? You have Ricky and Ronnie...and they can't get 2 yards for a score? Well that pass fails...what do they call on 4th down...your right...another pass...where is Wanny when you need him LOL...bet he wouldn't have called two passes in a row.

Again...our weakness is the secondary....two scores on two busted plays....one no better than a hail Mary...and yet the Jets get a TD....How many of you wanted to throw something into your TV?

This was a game that the Dolphins should of...could of won....and I hope we don't have to say that too many more times this season. The Dolphins are a young team
and we expect them to make a few mistakes...lets hope they learn as they go.

Take away the mistakes from the secondary...the defense played very well...it's also obvious that the rookies and the players signed on the defense are the right players for the future...and it's been a long time since we have seen that.

I agree, as long as they make adjustments and improve, they should win some games.

I agree again, but this is Parcells, I wouldn't be surprised to see more O-line and linebackers

I'd still give him time, but it is becoming hard to make a case for him. He should not be a starting wide receiver, he only is for us because e have nobody else.

I agree, but we can go on all day about playcalling. If plays work then it was a good call, if they don't then it wasn't simple as that. On 3rd and goal from the two, knowing we would go for it on 4th down, I would have ran it.

Our secondary annoys me. They are okay, they can cover people, but nobody know how to make a play on the ball once it is in the air, they just assume if they cover someone then the ball won't come that way, they need major improvement in that area.

My thoughts in blue
 
I agree. When you look past the miscues.. if thats possible, I could see what the playcalls were leading. If CP had hit on a few of those poor passes this offense would've been exciting. I say it won't be long until we start making those plays.

Ginn,.. oh my .. where to start. Even though this loss can be spread around. But he's our #1. Did he even catch a pass? Unbelieveable! What happened to our running game? Are you kidding me? No matter if you're in the RW camp or the RB camp, neither were impressive.

We need our receiver to step up. We need to see some fight in them. Until that happens, our aerial attack will be enemic.
 
I agree, WR and CB are obvious needs.

As for Ginn I disagree, he was double teamed the whole game. Yes theres some recievers who beat Double teams but Ginn isn't one of them.

As far as running on 3rd and 2 is concerned, you're very wrong imo. we were on like the 12 yard line with 13 seconds left, after seeing our Offense in the 2 minute offense, i think it is safe to say it wouldve been hard to get back and get a play off in time. However, had we called a timeout before the 2 minute warning giving us 5 extra seconds or so, 4 WR set, 1 fade on each side and out route on each side, pump fake to the fade and hand off a draw to brown, we would've been real close to a TD, and we would've had a 1st down and could've spiked the ball. But with only 13 seconds left you do not run imo.

I agree, our secondary played pretty bad with the excpetion of 1 person, Yeremiah Bell. I seen Will Allen, Renaldo Hill, and Andre Goodman all beat, and for Crocker, he was just lost out there, heres hoping he's on the bench next week.
 
I agree obviously about WR & secondary, but we need to upgrade at least one of the LB spots as well.

They consistantly ran to our left and got yardage. It seemed the LB were stuck on blocks more than they should have been...

Warner played great yesterday too. None of our games this year will be easy. The Bills look strong.

IN TUNA WE TRUST....
 
you are wrong R&R express. The first time we were down on the 2 there was more than 4 minutes left in the game. We had PLENTY of time to run the ball. Hmmmm...let's see....Ronnie averaged 3.8 ypc and we only need 2 yards....RUN THE ****ING BALL HENNING!!!!

I'm not sure what your talking about....the Dolphins still had over 9 mins to go in the game when they were on the two yard line...and two plays to get 2 yds.

Check Dolphins ball 12:11;

Ginn was NOT doubled team all game...Ginn doesn't need to be doubled teamed...and Revis is a far better player than Ginn.

Ok I agree with you there, had my mind on something else. There was actually over 12 minutes to play as fishypete stated.
 
I'm wondering if Henning over analyzed the situation on 3rd and 2. If we (as the fans) are figuring the Dolphins are going to run the ball. Do you think he's thinking the Jets are figuring on the same thing. So, he thinks he's crossing them up by passing it. Nah, he should have ran the ball. If he really wanted to cross up the Jets, spread them out, 5 wide, Chad in the 'gun, and delay run it in.

On the last play, and it's easy sitting here in my chair with a dvr and remote, but Bess looked open in the left corner. Just sayin'.
 
You seem to be letting the LB's off the hook. Except for Roth, who was finally a beast, the LB core did very little. I would draft the best MLB the draft has first.
