** Phins/Titans Post-Game Rant

[McMikey Mike]

Which three out of the next four are you putting your money on?

Uh uh...sure, I'm in the Optimist Club, but I'm their closet pessimist. I expect the Dolphins to lose out after tonight and I'll keep that mindset until they show me something other than squalor.

Did Gink play today?

You've never heard of the abrupt movement penalty?

Never saw it called

I don’t give a f*** about the regular season. We just need to be competitive in the layoffs and win 1 of those m********* to build confidence for next year. We aren’t tough enough to win right now

This team does not play well on the road. It looks like they will be playing on the road in the Wild Card round.

Titans tried to give us the game and we still couldn't put them away. Our passing offense was abysmal. O LINE is injured, McDaniel still makes poor decisions/playcalls.

I do not get why everyone here was begging for McDaniel to be hired, he stinks

I don't know that is would have changed the outcome, but I didn't like the "sudden movement" cal vs the defense. The false start on the offense would have made it 2nd 17. Instead they hit Miami with the odd call and it's 2nd and 2 and setting up Henry's game winning run.


Also don't know I've the cioaches just didn't trust the pass protection, as it did collapse late, but I would have liked to see them let Tua take at least 1 deep shot to Hill or Waddle on the final drive. Maybe get a pass interference call to put them in fg range.

Did Gink play today?

He did but did nothing noteworthy.

 

[ANUFan]

You're not going to see him until its absolutely necessary. The 2k **** is over. You can't throw him out there on one ankle unless it's desperation mode.

Worst the refs didn't even call the defender on the horsecollar tackle.

 

[JamesWsenior]

Notice we never get a massive punt when we really need (our last drive) it and they get a decent return.

We don’t play well with pressure. Soft. Just like our coach who I love, but he’s a soft motherf*****.

I was dreading the Phins MNF game this year, however this is far worse than imagined with C Williams out for the season and burning questions facing the team moving forward. Next week almost a must win.

Williams is done for the year? It's confirmed?

 

[brumdog44]

I am just numb.

For those of us who enjoy bitching and moaning after a loss or claiming that the sky is falling... this game was for you. Enjoy it.

I'm frustrated, disappointed and maybe a little angry... however if this team is going to be a serious threat they need to bounce back over the final month of the season. I admit I'm a little worried about playing the Jets without Wynn, WIlliams and Hunt up the middle. Miami will face some decent defense over the final month and could be playing with one starter on the oline.

Lose to the Jests and the Fins won't win another game all year

So what was the reason we gave up 28 points to a garbage offense with a rookie QB that had been awful since his initial game? Tell me? The defense got manhandled on two drives with 3 minutes to go. Didn’t put any pressure on a rookie QB. Sorry, they treated Levis with more respect than you should proved to an all-pro QB.

The defense in this game gets a B or at least a C.

The reason we gave up 2 TDs in last 3 minutes is ideology. Fangio is an ideologue, he believe in ideology, his rules, he does not believe in players or reality. The same reason he was giving up 30 point earlier in the season.
The reality is the strength of the defense is not the seconday, it is the defensive front. The reality is it takes time for long ball to develop and we have a defensive front to prevent that, they are quick and get to the QB. So you should not play zone and prevent. But he believes in his ideology and what should be done in certain situations regardless of reality or the strength of the team. This is general criticism of Fangio.

And the offense too. Miami's so-called great offense didn't even earn a single TD tonight. The defense had a Pick 6, and both the defense and special teams gave the offense the ball just outside the goal line. On their own, the offense managed just 2 FGs... pathetic.

It was embarrassing. Settled for too many field goal attempts because of McDaniel's awful goal line play calling.
