We hadn't scored a TD on our first drive in forever, but the Packers couldn't stop us... we were rolling and Phin fans everywhere felt a surge of optimism. Just as we approached the end zone, THIS happens. To make matters worse, Stills, Amendola, and maybe even Gesicki were wide open for TDs,

 
And on Twitter I called it immediately that Aaron Rodgers would march right down the field and give the Packers a 7-0 lead. Why?

The NFL, or the Dolphins at least, are completely predictable.
 
Swanson’s good for one of those heat seaker snaps it seems every few weeks

Os obviously needs to fall on that but he’d have made the wrong read anyways multiple times if we had gotten a few more cracks at it.
 
As soon as that play happened I knew we had lost the game. I do like that the players continued to play hard (up until the INT, which just completely deflated them) but you can't make HS level mistakes like that on the road vs Rodgers and expect to have any real chance....especially when b.osweisker is your damn starter.
 
The center also neglected to come off the unnecessary triple block to slow down the blitzing LB.

This is a team replete with bad play for decades, regardless of the coaches, front office or ownership.
 
One thing the view from behind shows is that Osweiler had no chance to corral that snap. There were a lot people claiming Osweiler was to blame since it “went right through his hands”.

Until that view I thought that fumble was all on Osweiler...angles lie. And then the ball bouncing to the right as he was bending to try and pick it up made him look like a total doofus.
