I could easily blame the same players and coaches as most here...and I do...but I warned fans here that I didn't see any offense in the preseason...I didn't like the fact that the Dolphins were only acquiring an average of appx 14 points each game...against teams that were playing mostly 2nd's and 3rds...and cast offs.

I don't see the Dolphins offense good in any aspect of the game...are they a running team or a passing team? Do they have an identity? I sure don't see one.

I could easily blame Pennington...but he's not the ONLY reason why the Dolphins played so badly....the running game with the exception of ricky sucked...no trying to paint a pretty picture...the receivers again....are a joke...how can no one get open...play after play....the O-line...another expensive joke...did someone tie Long's shoe's together?...and Carey...was he worth the new contract? How come the Dolphins always have the best coaches for O-lines...but the Dolphins O-lines suck?

And I saved the best for last....the O.C....surely he can call a better game...or is it known to him that the offense is just that bad and he has to use trick plays to try to get something going. Trick plays have their place...but not to be used as the main stay...or just in case...mode.

So where do we go from here? I would say try Henne...but God he's no better...he's just as bad as Penny holding onto the football...and he has no mobility...to me again...he reminds me of Bledsoe...strong arm...lousy feet...a pure statue. I wish I could see something good in the near future...but it's only a hall mary...and unless something really changes...it's going to be a long long season.

I've been a Dolphin fan for a long time...but this just may be the first time I can say, I was truely embarrassed by the team I have loved and supported since 1968.

Really so in all these years no other game has emabarrased u more. Myself the Jacksonville game was much more embarrassing
 
I agree. Our offense wasn't imposing last year and it sure as hell wasn't doing much during the preseason. As far as Henne, I say start the dog and see if he bites. If he doesn't, than draft a couple of quarterbacks next year.

Which game did you expect more from the team? Sorry...but I don't see anything good from this game.

I expected us to not get beat by like 60 points. Sorry but there was no reason to expect that we would beat Atlanta at Atlanta as much as not getting beat down in the playoffs by Jacksonville. 2007 was much more of a disaster than any one game
 
Wow, you just got to love naysayers!!! Really you do! They are always the first to arrive to say "I told you so." However, when their dead wrong, it's like they never said anything. Let's see, I bet if we scan back to last year after week 1 we'd see identical threads and posts from this guy. Anyone want to bet? What's more, anyone wanna bet there aren't any threads in December or January entitled "Dang, I was dead wrong."
 
You know things are great when we're arguing over which loss is less embarrassing than the other....:lol:

Well I guess we have alot more to be worried about since the Atlanta game was suppose to be one of the easier games this season. Ryan didn't beat the Dolphins....the Dolphins beat themselves...errors...play calling...lack of any offense...either by the run or the pass.
For a offense that is going into it's second season...they sure didn't play like it.

Well I guess you want me to say I'm sorry I saw that the offense wasn't worth a hoot....well I'm sorry the offense played like crap...hows that?

You can say the same about many of our wins last year. The falcons beat us because they did not make mistakes and we did. if anybody thought the game was going to be easy, I question thier NFL commonsense.

I agree with you. I think QB play really held you back.

Nah, save the apologies for the up coming games when the offense rebounds and we're back on track.
