Our Offensive Line Lost that game!!

[Lungoystr]

But just like last year vs new england in overtime, they couldn't step up and make a stop when the game was on the line? What about all that depth in the secondary that Rick is always bragging about? These guys make the big bucks and have a tendency to buckle with the game on the line.

Hehehe, it's funny that you mention this since I said the very same thing about the defense last week. Four quarters of football, not three or even one half. This defense has the tendency to buckle when the game is on the line. They are inconsistent. However, Feeley blew the game with the INT for the TD. He was NOT pressured on that play. He HAD TIME to make the throw and he blew it, plain and simple.

Oline sucked
Unexperiece QB sucked

The offensive line is worst than ever!.(Scary!)

A.J desicion making was terrible but he is unexperience so is not a big surprise.

Defense played outstanding football last night, especially considering how short-manned they were. Despite missing L. Chester, T. Bowens, P. Surtain and R.Howard, they still held Cincy to 2 FGs.

Only reason the pass to C. Johnson was completed was because we were minus Will Poole on the play, who had been impressive in his first NFL start to that point.

They should have little problem with Pittsburgh next week. Hopefully we get Surtain and R. Howard back into the secondary.

Meanwhile, Foerster and Tony Wise need to prove they're not the imbeciles they've appeared to be so far.

While true on the fans. When the WR goes one way and you think he is going the other. Things like that tend to happen, we do not know who is to blame. Most of the time passes are timing and if a WR breaks the a way the QB does not expect. It will make the QB look stupid.

Chambers & AJ are not in sync with each other. It will come in time.

Well, I think Chambers has been here long enough to know the routes in this offensive scheme so the blame would have to be............do I really have to say it?

AJ didn't make anything happen, but with that disgusting performance by our OFFensive Line, I doubt anyone but Vick could've done anything better. With this line, if they continue to play this way, we DEFINATELY WILL be one of the worst teams in the league this year...Before, when I looked at this team and what everybody was saying how horrible we're gonna be, I just couldn't see it. How could a team with such a good D be SO bad?? Well my friends, NOW I really see it. Doesn't matter how good the D is...After 4 quarters of a PERFECT performance just giving up 2 field goals, of course they're gonna break down! We would have won that game if it wasn't for that Intercepted pass for a touchdown return....We're in big trouble guys....

AF, like Fiedler, will not the the kind of fuy that can carry a team on his own. He looked like hell last night but that's mainly because of the OL.
yes, we can argue that the D lost it when it was won, but the longest break they had all night was at halftime.

Poole being out is no excuse. When you have 70%+ of your salary cap on the defensive side of the ball, players need to step up and play the game. It does little good to play like a superbowl defense all game if you are simply going to fold like a cheap suit on the last drive with the game on the line. There is no excuse....none.

 

[Lawrence]

Nah! You bow out of the argument because you know you can't win.

Win. This is an opinion debate..Haha your waiting for your "Finheaven I won a debate on a message board" prize? There is no winning or losing here, just opinions. Mybe if you understood that, you would formulate an opinion and back it up with facts, instead of resorting to childish name calling.

Oh hey, lets not forget Jay Fiedler couldnt connect on three straight pass plays, right?!

 

[JT21Dolfan]

of course AJ looked the way he did

you can't blame him when our pathetic o-line couldnt stop a Bengals week front four that looked like the best line in the game. Our oline and running game was pathetic. It was not AJ's fault, this offense is the worst and it might be the worst in team history. Fire Wanny and every other pathetic coach,,,especially Collier who was calling the wrong play every down

Probably so, but for anyone to say AJ blows because of it is wrong. Like I previously said. They are not in sync yet. It will happen.

These are the growing pains the usually happen with a inexperienced QB.

The D had a chance at the end to stand up like men and earn the millions of dollars, and all the pro bowl hype they always get, and what did they do? Bend and break to a very average offense. And while the O-line was terrible, they weren't even on the field when the game was lost.

I couldn't agree with this more, if you had to had one group of the team on the field at that time, it should have been our D, and as always they swift.

Oh, I didn't say that he blows. I am, however, laughing at all of these guys that thought he would be an instant success. Boy, there are alot of bruised egos after last night because most of these same guys don't even want to bring up Feeley today.

Look, we have four starters from last years Offense that returned (Chambers, McMichael, Konrad and Wade Smith) and one of those guys is hurt atm. So, what do Dolphin fans really expect when 73% of the Offense is new? We really must have a reality check here folks. I don't give a crap what team this happens to, they are going to fall flat of their faces until they find their feet. It's going to take some time for this crew to come together and until they do, we fans are going to have to face the reality that we are going to lose games. Our defense needs to make it up in their minds that they are going to have to carry this team until the offense gets it together. The defense MUST be able to keep the game close and NOT give the game up in the end (just like they did last night). JT said that he didn't want excuses from the offense but that's easy for him to say when 70%+ of the salary cap is on HIS side of the ball. I have a feeling that this offense will get it together but it will just take some more time. Until then, I will just hide my eyes every time the ball is snapped and advise other Phin fans to take their blood pressure pills.
