1) I've been to hundreds of sporting events in my life but that crowd noise when the Dolphins were on offense was the loudest experience ever, even more than any concert. My beer was vibrating in my hand, it was absolutely crazy

2) Great stadium and plenty of food options outside before going in, you could also bring in water and lots of people were selling it for a buck outside the stadium

3) Tyreek was open downfield a bunch of times and Skylar missed it every time, there was at least 2 times he was looking at him and chose the shorter option. Skylar might have the heart but that dude should never see another snap, he's not starting material, not even close

4). EZ was really fired up on the sidelines, thought for sure he might get some plays but nope, nothing

5) McDaniel was pretty animated for most of the game, obviously frustrated. He should see how we feel!

6) Tons of Dolphins fans there, I think might be the most I've seen at a road game. Seahawks fans were cool, although they were all in a great mood for some reason

Well, the wife was happy, she's a Seahawks fan so I guess it was worth the trip. I guess 😀

Thank you for the write up - I was wondering about whether or not anyone was open. I was sure there were open receivers, but Skylar does, indeed, not belong in the NFL. Every one of his scouting report weaknesses were exposed and amplified this game. Maybe he will make a decent coach somewhere, someday.

Hope your wife gave you a little something in return for her happiness! :chuckle:

I have heard similar things about the noise there. Never been, but maybe someday.

I lost "our bet", she was pretty happy. I had to wear a Seahawks shirt though, lol
 
the continued signs that this is a bad team are no longer outliers but the norm now. All the penalties, poor performances on 3rd down and in the redzone. The fact miami still does not have a lead. Bad teams trail consistently.

The defense looked like they knew what they were doing for the most part. The offense was a complete mess, just chaos almost every drive with people yelling from the sidelines, coaches screaming, arms waving, just nuts.

Play calling was just terrible. In game play calling, not necessarily play design. Throwing it on 3rd and 4th down inside the 5 with your back up QBs is just not smart.

Skylar really looked lost. I take back every positive thing I said about him. He was seeing ghosts. He was turning the wrong way after the snap on hand offs and looked like he had no grasp of the play book at all. Hearing from people in the stands that he missed wide open WRs is more proof that he has to go. Boyle looked 10 times better and showed he should start over Skylar.

The penalties were simply unacceptable and evidence of poor coaching....especially the illegal formations. This is elementary football and this is 100% coaching.

This game was winnable until the 4th quarter. The defense did everything they could to keep us in the game, with the exception on 1 blown play on the Metcalf t.d.

Jason Sanders has to go. We can not depend on him. Ever.

To me it seems McDaniels just calls plays, there is no specific rhyme or reason. I would see a play and be like, ooo ok that is setting something up for later, however that later never comes. It doesnt seem to me his offense has a play building strategy to it. When he is able to call his script, yep it does, but seems the minute he has to get off script it is like hmmmmm lets try this one.

Oooo and that Ingold Dive needs to go in the trashcan EVERYONE in the world knows when it is coming (also no counter off that either)

I went to a game there a number of years ago. It really does get unbelievably loud.

I was considering going this year until Tua got hurt against Buffalo, thanks for the review. I actually found some Cheap flights leaving Saturday and coming back today when i was monitoring.

It's definitely a venue i would like to experience at some point.

Yea, its mind boggling. He needs to give up play calling. It takes him forever to get the play in because he's always just coming up with stuff on the fly.

His clock management is atrocious too. Never seen anything that bad...
