Seriously...I want to know and I'm not throwing this out there to be inflammatory or to talk smack.

On paper, they should be very very good this year. And not just because ESPN predicted it and some of the other talking heads who know nothing. Going into this year I was anticipating this coming game to be a serious showdown from one of the better teams in the AFC facing an elite NFC team.

I live in FL (IL native) but I'm usually way too preoccupied with the Bears to watch the Dolphins to put my finger on what's going on down there in Miami. You have a pretty good defense and seemingly enough weapons on offense to get the job done (Ronnie Brown, Chris Chambers, Randy McMichael etc).

So what gives? What's the source of the problem?
 
Here's the problem

Everyone except the defensive front 7, Wes Welker, and Donnie Jones have been terrible this year. O-line and joey harrINgTon are main problems.
 
LMAO harrington is a MAIN problem?

how bout the recievers hold onto the ball? or the secondary stopping the pass? or some run defense?

but yea...harrington is the MAIN problem

Again, I haven't seen many Dolphins games this year...but I'm a firm believer that most of those problems start and lie w/ two components: Offensive line & playcalling. Your receivers are good, as is your RB. But, if the o line doesn't provide good pass protection or open up holes to establish the run...all of that is moot.

I'm not sure if this is the case, but it sure looks like it from an outsider. If it is, they're going to need to play great on Sunday for you guys to have a chance. Our defensive front 4 are insanely good and if we are in Harringtons face for a good part of the game it's curtains for you guys.
 
The whole team just isnt working for some reason. This season is very hard to watch.
 
Harrington/Culpepper is dealing with mass amounts of pressure and making bad decisions with the ball. Although some receivers have had a case of the drops, I wouldn't worry so much about that. I personally don't like Harrington's style of throwing the ball. Our secondary gives up the big play every once in a while which can kill us. Lastly, our kicker has been struggling as of lately. I don't agree with our playcalling all the time, it seems if we slow down and give the rock to Ronnie, we do well. Look at the Packers game, we were winning when our philosophy was let Ronnie run. Then we got pass happy in the second half and that wasn't a good idea.

You can be joey's defender all you want, bottom line is he isn't getting it done. He hasn't won one game yet, and he doesnt wake up til the 4th qtr. The only reason he scored in the 1st last week was because JT devoured Favre. Daunte at least won a game for us.

The more I think of Joey not leading us to a win, the more I blame the playcalling. The guy gets rid of the ball faster than anybody (tho he does make huge errors because of it), and u mean to tell me . . . even despite the drops we have seen, we can't call up some plays to march this guy and these players around him down the field. I'm sorry, it is just mind boggling

Against whom? The Kerry Collins version of the Titans. Give me a break, neither one of them has done squat.
It was painful watching DC look befuddled after the snap and taking sack after sack after sack......... you get the picture.
 
Have you been in the dark the whole year? Have u watched the team since game one? We've all been wonderin the same thing for 8 weeks! End of discussion

I'm gonna be your neighbor in about 5 years if I keep doing what I need to do...at least I hope so :rolleyes:

Anyways, is it largely a QB problem or an o line problem...or both?

No, I haven't. That's why I'm asking. I'm a visiting Bears fan trying to get a read on what the problems are so I know what to expect and look for.

Sorry we are a little bitter. Just expect your D to dominate us and us to fall badly to you. That's all. Don't worry! lol
