First of all, let's try to please just try to keep this thread civil and calm.
I wasn't able to watch live because I was driving home from Tennesee, I got a text from a friend asking what was up with the phins, and couldn't resist checking the score even though I was trying to save myself. I saw it at 20-0, so I was totally anticipating a shitshow - and especially from a quick browse of the forum thread titles.
However, it wasn't as bad as the sky falling crew wants to believe. There were good things we saw. and bad, PLENTY of bad. Don't get me wrong, it was an ugly game but...
-The defense was okay overall considering who we were playing. I'd like to see Anthony out there to lay some wood over Hull. I felt like we played tighter coverage and it was good. The flags though killed us... speaking of that...
-Timmons played okay I guess, I felt like his presence was a boost to the defense.
-I liked how Tankersley played and competed. I'd rather see him out there getting reps than Maxwell at this point. Maybe someone would offer up a late round pick, doubtful. (seattle? with an injury to lane just now) Next year our cb rotation should look a little better with Lippett back, and young guys gaining some experience. I didn't notice X too much, anyone else key in? Hoops I know you will have had an eye on him.
-Some of the worst officiating I have ever seen. The holding call on Godchaux and then OPI on Stills? Pfft. I think there was a questionable blocking down the field on Fasano. Plenty of other bad calls in the game too. Our offense was actually able to move the ball better than last week and the defense was better too but the flags killed us. Absolutely killed us. Not saying it was the only reason, but plenty of drives stalled / first downs lost / on defense - drives extended.
-Ajayi ran hard as usual
-About the offense- the OL still needs to play better, but is better than last year. Not sure how I feel about the LG rotation in games...
-Cutler had his usual ugly, inaccurate throws- but still had some moments of looking average at least. Can't blame him on that interception too much in my opinion...
-Julius Thomas put forth absolutely no fight or effort for that ball, didn't even try to stop the cb from catching it. Get him out of the starting lineup. Throw all fades to Parker now. If anyone should be in the doghouse it is JT. No effort on blocking either. Gray needs to be our starting tight end.
-I do think Gase's play calling could be better, but he is likely limiting the offense somewhat due to the conditions --> downgrading to Cutler, a shaky OL, which then in turn hurts the defense and they are continually gassed.

That's all for now.
