The most official game day thread (GDT) you are likely to find. Go Phins!

It seems they are going to be calling it more often this year (if thats possible). I think it means that Peyton Manning complained after the Super Bowl so they changed the rules again.

Terrible! As if the offensive side of the ball wasn't favored enough.

so our D didn't look so hot out there. pass rush not really getting there, linebackers missing tackles...

 

[SkapePhin]

It's damn near impossible to play defense now without getting flagged.

I think this will be a record-breaking year in scoring across the league.

I hope the second string lbers blow **** up tonight. And become starters.

Man..penalties are going impact this season big time! Geezz...

The rules are the same for both teams. The penalties weren't the issue on that drive, it's the same old defense not covering a receiver in the middle and not tackling that is the issue.

Thank Ireland for Wheeler and Ellerbe when you guys go to bed tonight.

 

[Dolfan Dave]

Wheeler and Ellerbe still suck. Misi looks a little lost too. Ugh.

 

[oasis]

do we get another tannehill drive before the super scrubs come in?

 

[J. David Wannyheimer]

This illegal contact stuff in the secondary is gonna be a real problem..

One of two things will happen:

The NFL will back off and stop calling it, or teams will stop coaching their players to grab and pull because they can usually get away with it.

There's only one Ryan you should be proud of tonight

 

[Billk78]

I hope the second string lbers blow **** up tonight. And become starters.

Was just thinking that. Is there anyone who actually has the potential to do it? Can they be much worse than Wheeler?

 

[mrbunglez]

This defense looks like Swiss cheese in the run game

 

[Bagga-Viagra]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the last year that Wheeler/Ellerbe's contracts count against the cap?

 

[nick1]

I wouldn't worry about the defense. They were nailed with like 3 ticky tack penalties.

Good job tannehill without your 3 best offensive weapons too.

 

[finfanaz]

We just had more penalties in a drive than you'd want in a game. Things will settle down as the preseason continues. Our D isn't going to be bad, comeon folks..
