The call on the two point conversion. Sucked in my opinion.

I would have spread the defense out with four or five reciver and ran a draw with Daunte and slants with the recivers in case daunte wanted to throw.


SIGH.............................
 
not a hb pass on a reverse direction, dumb call
 
I would have actually put my offensive team in a running formation and told them something to the effect of:
''If you want this game, go get it... smash this 2 point conversion down their throat''...
 
Booker was wide open in the middle of the endzone...... so it wasn't a terrible call. But that play went like most and just wasn't executed properly. People around here are looking for a place to put blame...... if the players don't make plays that are there, it will be hard to call any good plays. Any play that worked would have been a great call. But that's why they play the games. Heck most around here had us in the super bowl...... and now these same people are questioning other peoples ability to make judgements. Seems kinda like the pot calling the kettle black to me.
 
Let's see.....

Ronnie run to the right
Ronnie run to the left
Ronnie up the middle
Culpepper throw a pass (maybe play-action)
Culpepper sneak

I'm no offensive coordinator, but any of those plays would have been better than some stupid gadget play.

Well do you think it would've been easier for the players to execute the gadget play, or a run it down their throat play? Seems pretty simple.
Also, if you know your players aren't executing as well as they should, wouldn't you do whatever you could to keep it simple?

I know there are a lot of knee jerk opinions and chicken little's here, but you have to admit the playcalling in general, the entire season, has been suspect at best.

The first and last plays of the game were not good calls. If they were executed I would have been happy but still would have said "What the hell, we were lucky".

The Houston play with the naked bootleg - risky good call. Whether he makes it or not.

Our play - stupid. No matter what
 
I've would 've called a qb rollout of the pocket with the option to pass or run it in himself .

Well said.....If the play worked out, we would be talking about how Mularkey called a great play....If you seen the play, Booker was open for quite some time in the endzone....When the ball was delivered, he just happened to be on his ***....Those who are saying what play should have been called, need to get down to Mr. Huizenga's office and get your appilications in for the OC job....The Dolphins need you:rolleyes2

That's exactly what I was saying out loud just before the snap.

No need to be on a high horse.

It seems obvious to most that the play calling isn't what it should be. This was the worst run defense in the league, Miami had the lead for essentially 3 quarters, and ran the ball a grand total of 14 times. If you don't think there's something wrong with that then you may need to reasses how we're attacking theses bad defenses.

Also, if your line is suspect, and your QB isn't mobile, why in the world would you call a fake dive/reverse playaction that takes sooo long to develop and lead to a sack on the 1st play of the game?

You can't call plays being scared of sacks, etc., but you do have to give those players on the field the plays that will give them the best chance of success, and we haven't seen that all year.
