The Dolphins Make Me Cry.com - Forums

Not a lot of talk this week on this board about tomorrow's game. I don't think we will see a lot of scoring. I don't see the Jets running on Miami. If Keller doesn't play that will really hurt the Jets offense. On the other side the Jets are gonna dare Miami to throw on them all day.  The Jets defense is solid and I think Miami will struggle to score points. I have a hunch it will be a touchdown or less type a game. A 3 or 4 pt outcome (that could go either way). Not sure if either side is capable of a blowout on each other since both teams have pretty solid defensive units. I think Week 1 was a bit of a fluke for the Jets scoring wise as was last week for Miami.  I think this game comes down to turnovers and field position. Which team can give their offense the best chance to score because neither offense is great.

And for the love of god if Tannehill happens to struggle Sunday vs the Jets and doesn't play a great game it isn't the end of the world. We don't need to hear the "HE IS A BUST" talk. Just save it. It's NFL start #3 for him and vs a good NFL defense and an excellent defensive mind in Rex. He is going to have his up's and down's this year and if he struggles vs a good defense it doesn't mean the sky is falling or he is a bust.

Keller is OUT for Sunday's game

I briefly considered taking the Jests in the Eliminator Challenge, but under no circumstance do I want to be happy about their probable victory over Miami.

I predict at least one Tannehill pick 6.  I think this one could get very ugly for the Fins and could very well be a shut out.  This is not an indictment of Tannehill per say, but more of an indictment of a rookie QB going against a defense that can make any young QB look bad. 

I hope I'm wrong because I'd love nothing more than to see coach Fist Pump keep losing in Miami.

I too agree it should be a close, low scoring game. For me, here are the keys...

Miami MUST put pressure on Sanchez. The Jets are not a big threat to run well, but the secondary needs to step up. 3-4 sacks along with 5-6 would be great.

Miami needs to have at least  a decent run game. I RT has to throw, esp. 3rd and long, we are sunk.

No turnovers on O, but create at least one on D.

I agree -- not much talk, but what's to say?

I think that today is our real test to see what kind of team we are.

Key to the game: Pressure on Sanchez.

Watching some of the Sunday Morning shows, everyone expects Tannehill to turn it over like 4 or 5 times and the Jets defense are being made to be the 85" Bears.

While I don't expect a perfect day from Tannehill, I don't think he will be that bad. I think he could struggle and I could see us losing because of it.  Miami will have trouble scoring points all year. It's just gonna be that way. It's not like we have a lot of weapons on offense. I think though it's a touchdown type game that could go either way. 4-7 pt outcome. Jets probably win but Miami could win and I wouldn't be shocked.

Marlon Moore inactive today for Miami.

I took Miami and the points lol.

If Tannehill continues to suck we can pick up Landry or Barkley in the 4th or 5th round next year. Lol

When did he start?  ::)

This is a tell-tale game for Miami in terms of what kind of season we are going to have

Watching the game at home.  I see a lot of orange in the stands

Don't know if I agree with that call.  That looked uncatchable.

Picked it off baby!!!!

It will be like that all year.

JAVORSKI!!!!

Jovorskie Clear The Lane for a first down!!!

Bush is running with authority

TOUCHDOWN!!!!

Awesome start for the Dolphins especially with the running game

looks like they are taking the momentum from last weeks game.    when was the last time someone on the defense got a pick in the first quarter.   great job

EXCELLENT. Whedn was trhe last time the fins scored TDs on the first drive of 2 games in a row??? Has to be Marino days.

Carroll needs to go!

RT looks great. Jerry also. Martin is having a little trouble. The DE is getting close...

NO MORE PENALTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Both on 3rd and long.

anyone here???

I am here.

And yes penalties are hurting big time here

all from the secondary. Notice they didn't show the one on 24

enough talk of sparono from the announcers.   i dont care about him!!!

marv albert + rich gannon = bottom of barrel.

Why not miami announcers???

Good pressure by the Dolphins

nice p[lay by smith. Wake almost gotem!

another penalty from carroll

why field a punt inside the 10?

looks like the refs are flag happyu and from ny. Miami 3 flags, ny 0

thought bess was returning punts. Have not even seen him...

cut outside 22!!!!

Wow, remember that play.  That was a big chance to keep the drive going

these refs are sucking the life out of the game.....LET THEM PLAY!

Daniel Thomas, you're killing me!!!

these refs suck

WHAT INTERFERENCE??????

AMEN!

No more passes on 3rd and short until they stop the run!!!!!!!!!!!

DMN ITR!

85% of jests yds. have been off penalties. that has to stop!

LB's still can't cover a TE.

Odrick was due. Wake is OVERDUE!

Sanchez: 4 of 9 for 25 yards and an INT. His passer rating is 12.0

Fins Defense playing great!

nice stats, sanchez

why the timeout????

Why not? Got the lead, a big 3rd down. Let's make sure we are on the same page. Game is going our way. Don't rush anything and have a F' up

Anyone notice the sideline seats are still 1/2 mile from the field. I thought they were supposed to fix that as soon as the marlins left???? So much for the crowd being a factor.

That will take a year to fix. That is a big construction job

Bush is doing great he needs more work

Looks like barney fife is in the secondary today. JP, make them adjust. They are calling everything.

Nice catch and run by Bess!!

It is official. IRELAND FIXED the O-LINE!!

Been watching Jerry. A+

i really wanted that TD

Why not use Lane down there at the goal. Didn't like they play calls at all. Sherm seems to have fell in love running behind Long

10-0 so far, now the defense needs to keep up the pressure

10-0.  Don't let up now, team!!

With Barney as a field judge, why run. Pass every play. You will get a call 7 out of 10. 

sparano fist pump!!! >:D

dansby maDE a play. Write down the date.

3 and out! Time to go for the kill on offense!

God damn!

need someone rushing up the midde sanchez too comfy.  

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??  THEY GOT FOOLED ON A FAKE PUNT BY TEBLOW!!!  ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??

they should be looking out for that shit.

shout -out for the Hamilton Tiger Cats

pass rush????? Another 3rd down conversion.

No pressure on that third down there

where the fuck is a blitz????????????????????

jets r gaining momentum

wake needs an inside move. the RT has his #

FUCK!!!!

ANOTHER 3RD DOWN!!!~!~

Gotta regroup right now

I am getting tired of Coyles BS on 3rd. Have not seen 1 Fing blitz and sanchez sits in the middle. Bring Dansby or Misi once in a friggin while!!!

It was the same shit last week. No pressure until 4th 1/4. Lucky to hold rads to 13 points with almost 400 yds. passing. That shit won't happen again.

We've let them chew up that clock

How many 3rd and lopng conversions? It started with letting tebow screw ya!

They have given up 1 TD in 6 quarters and your are upset?

Letting the Jets complete all those 3rd downs reminds me of how bad they were for the last couple of years.

I get antsy!!!! lol

It is just a matter of time given what I am seeing.

Well they aren't going to pitch a shutout forever! lol

looks like they took Hartline out. Where is the hooks?

It is the big play on 3rd that is upsetting. Passing situation. Put the pressure on. I want a blitz on 3rd and long. Is that too much to ask?

im getting worried....   jets r coming back!!

UGH! That was a quick non drive! Pathetic.

Thank you!

Take a knee and go to the half!

saved by the flag

OK, JP they say you are a master of 1/2 time adjustments. Go do your thing.

jesus christ why run a play! TAKE A KNEE! Now Bush is hurt

nooooooooooooooo   we dont need this

F'n idiot!!!  JUST TAKE A KNEE! Now the teams best player is hurt! Way to go

Oh shit.  Reggie is hurt

On a meningless play trying to run out the clock. Put in the waterboy for those. Hopefully, iy is just temp.

Did Philbin not learn his lesson in Houston?  JUST TAKE A KNEE!

Also, can Nolan Carrol be put to sleep at half time?  His game is in need of some euthanasia.

Should be an interesting second half in Miami

any kickoff in the endzone....TAKE A KNEE! 3 penalties now on that play

Miami is screwed!

How difficult is it to NOT push someone in the back? Idiots.

Miami is toast!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh h

Big play by the Jets

You have got to be fucking kidding me!!!!

Thanks to Sherman and Philbin for NOT taking a knee and getting Bush hurt.  Now it changes the entire offensive philosphy and Miami is screwed!

Just a bad throw. Why would he try that?

rookie mistake....   it happens

Game is over. Philbin/Sherman screwed themselves on this one. POOR COACHING!

nooooooooo....... goodnight its over

And now a fumble!!!  Are you fucking kidding me??

One meaningless play before the half changes everything. Poor coaching!

Sigh. Well, we can see if the team has any talent to come back from this momentum and game change.

Momentum is now back! Gotta find some offense!

wow :o :o :o

Picked in the end zone!!  Now can the offense respond?

haha people saying the game is over.

With no Bush I don't see Miami scoring again on offense

They took away Reggie Bush's helmet, looks like he is done

no more throwing by tannehill anymore?????

Looks like they quit letting RT throw.

Throw the ball...

They have to re-establish the run before they let Tannehill throw it. Miami can't just drop back and pass every play they will get destroyed

I hope not...

I am not liking the coaching thus far. Play calling, using Bush to run out the clock, wasted timeouts, no throws past 10 yds.  

Then we are screwed. Thomas and Miller will not establish dick against the jest. Throw to open up the run.

Sparano is still clueless!

That's what I have been saying. Bush opens everything up. They need to re-establish the run to at least get the Jets thinking they are just gonna throw every down

im not saying throw every down...  maybe just once in five plays!!!   :D

did thigpin just stop and let the guy taclke him??? He could have kept running to the outside. If he is still living on a td return, 15 minutes is up. Comeon man

Tanny is staring down his receivers again and making bad decisions.

Just keep running. They can't stop it

start small with tanny

Miller may be our best RB...

as the Jets cramp up and melt under the heat, just keep running. Just like last week. Opponents will die

goodby revis     hello hartline

Creative playcall to spark something. Let's hope that sparks a lot!

Revis down. Next play to hartline!!! no heistation!!!

Can the offense keep this momentum up?

If Miami can get into field goal range that might be enough right now!

Man the Jets players are dropping like flies

No way. 18 minutes left. We have a pick 6 and a fumble. 3 is not enough.

Keep running. Control the clock. Wear down the Jets defense!

Personal foul! 15 more!

dirty fuckin jet. Hit him in the knees!

god damn!

did i mention rich gannon is a dick!

Yes! These refs suck and it helps us!

awesome, now stfu gannon

Another horrid call, but I'll accept it lol

There's no excuse to F up a replay, but they found a way. 

hahaha   rex

Touchdown by Jovorskie Clear The Lane!!!!

get another turnover. Do I smell a fumble????

They finally made an offensive play. Dam

noooooooo

No that's a shitty secondary you smell....

damn it. Still think 3 is enough.

Can't bitch about jones, he has been decent. The LT own Wake today.  Wak is going outside EVERY play and sanchez just steps up in the pocket with no middle rush. I still say blitz a LB up the middle.

If they didn't give up at least 1 big play a game, it would not be Miami.

should be interesting to see what happens in this fourth quarter

Its ok to let your guy make a catch, but you have to make the tackle. Where was the safety????

that's 2 for Marshall. Why is Smith not on Holmes???

WIDE OPEN!!!!!!!!!!

GOAL LINE STAND BABY!!!!!

watch for another tebow fake fg

Kevin Burnett game saving tackle possibly

Looks like someone has been watching film on how easy a QB run up the middle is against us. Nice play, Wake. I STILL WANT TO SEE A SACK!!

Manage the game, run the ball, work the clock. Dont be stupid!

HAS THERE BEEN a run over jerry and martin today??? all i see is left, left, left.....nothing predictable about that!!!!

Too conservative !!!

Edit, maybe not....

One way to beat the Jets corners, let them injury themselves

now comartie.....ya gotta throw!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice lobby job Hartline. Washington has a place for you. lol

if you look at the tape you will see they ran left over an over again. Never to the right. Worse part is, very little production.

just run the ball. CLOCK IS OUR FRIEND!

FG!!!!

it's never easy with this team

noooooooooooooooo

Carpenter you suck!!

Carpenter with a big miss there hopefully the defense can rise up

still 11 minutes left after almost 3 hours???? GESH!!!!!! This is pitiful.

Sigh. I dunno. They can't do short, simple, quick passes. Can't seem to run anymore. Hopefully the defense can hold one or two more times.

Carpenter does not suck. He is one of the best in the league. The ball took a bad hook. No one is perfect.

seriously, just run the ball work the clock. Limit the Jets offensive reps now

Way to respond defense!!

jets r drooping like flies

Awesome. The D steps up again. If the offense can get a TD they can pretty much seal it.

The Jets have NOTHING left, just run the ball. wear them down! This game is over, just run it out

Why are they abandoning the run??

This is where the weather factors in. All we have to do is not turn it over and not give up the big play.

couldn't even take 1 min off the clock. Unreal. STUPID COACHING

Armstrong.....you are cut!

let them start at midfield, didn't kill any time...WTF are they doing?

keep giving the jets the ball???????     make it harder for your defense

I don't know how much longer the D can keep this up

Holmes is their only threat..... come on!

This D can't hold much longer I think. Hopefully they prove me wrong.

after 3 hours not 1 single game is complete. Yawn!

JUST RUN THE BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big possession right here

Now I would give anything for a clock killing touchdown drive.

I don't care if we run and go 3 and out, just take off time! It's a field position and clock game, don't help the Jets!

Excellent. The D with another save. For the love of Allah, score a TD and take time off the clock.

Raiders last week were 1-13 on 3rd down
Jets this week are 3-12 on 3rd down

we got lucky...he dropped the ball. I want to see more pressure on Sanchez. Where did the pass rush go???????????????????????????????? odrick? Wake? Starks? Soliai?

Mike Sherman is dumb!

AGREE.

Sherman is clueless. This is pathetic.

All they had to do was run 3 times, take off 2 min and punt.

That was ultra conservative.  Not good

This has been one long ass game!

Opposite. They tried passing at all. They used up no clock

Playing scared or Sherman/Philbin doesn't trust anyone. Reminds me of the Sparano era.

The D better hold, because the O is done scoring.

Defense is cracking now

They aren't playing scared. They are trying to pass out of their endzone and NOT working the clock with the lead.

What game are you guys watching?

got lucky on that one. I guess we won't blitz for another 2 games.

is smith wearing concrete shoes? That is 2. 

Coaching lost this game for Miami. TERRIBLE playcalling before the half lost us Bush. Terrible 4th quarter playcalling with the lead and using no time

Defense has been heroic in this game, but I think they're spent now

this looks bad, real bad. Need a sack, turnover....now tackling is getting sloppy. Smith is tired. Marshall is over loaded....

I'm watching a game where they're throwing one yard passes and running on 3rd and long. If the D doesn't hold them to a FG I don't think the O is going to respond.

With 3 min they aren't going to kick a FG

looks like they will take the lead and run the clock out at the same time. Need a stop here.

saw that coming. This one is on Philbin/Sherman.

COACHING lost this game

Oh fuck!!!!!

Touchdown Jets

Well let's see if Tannehill can lead the offense into field goal range

Terrible coaching. Terrible offensive playcalling. They had a lead and were in a shotgun trying to pass. Made no F'n sense at all.

USE THE CLOCK! Limit the Jets offensive reps. We keep going 3 and out and handing the ball back to them.

3rd and 1 and they blitz. Where was it when it was 3rd an 12?????

OK, regroup. 3 timeouts, 3 minutes. Time to step up! Startys with a good KO return.

Don't forget Carpenter's missed FG when pointing fingers

NOW HE RUNS THE BALL!!!!!!!!!

Jesus Christ!

That same old conservative BS and now a run up the middle. FUCK ME!

Coaching lost it. Unreal.

Well they have the two minute warning to regroup

Tannehill is going to get someone killed! He floats pass after pass out there to someone who takes a brutal hit. Been doing it all day.

A draw play and a dump off. Hooray! That'll march you down the field.

That does not make up for the shitty play calling. If youy expect your FG kicker to hit every kicjk, you will be dissapointed.

Armstron SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!

dont play for the fg play for the td

We can run the ball now ya know!

Tanny needs to run.

ok here we go

Where is Tanny's accuracy??? He looks like shit!!!!!

Tie game!!

Overtime here we come!!!

I'm shocked they allowed Tannehill to throw all of those balls when they're in FG range and three timeouts. Crazy play calling.

here is where we need a leader on D to get them pumped up. All I see is guys walking around....

Wow are we really calling timeouts now?

After seeing his throws, I am shocked too. I was thinking of a boot leg or run up the middle after spreading the D. I am not liking Sherman at this point.

Regulation game... 3 hours and 36 minutes. That is absurd.

The reason the game took so long is because of so many incompletions.

Anyway, the defense really needs to force a three and out.   

Hold on 74

you would think that the heat would affect the jets more, especially with game now into ot

anoither 3rd down conversion of 6 or more with no pressure on QB.

Problem is our D has been on the field most of the 2nd half. Both sides are tired.

i am real dissappointed with the lack of qb pressure the fins showed today, esp. considering the jets knew thay couldn't run. that is just bs.

I am so sick of hearing Gannon I could puke! STFU!!!

Big first down there.

Nice play action. Did Sherman go to the bathroom???

Run the Ball

Cross your fingers.

unreal

Dan Carpenter should be cut right now, don't even wait till the game ends

Ok, now we can point fingers. Same miss, same place. BS!

Carpenter you suck big donkey balls!!!!

Fins blew this one

game is over. see ya later.  

Dan Carpenter needs to be cut, I don't see why they can't figure that out.   

Wow. So upsetting. Stupid HC trying to ice a kicker for a chip shot. Carpenter failing again....

And another coach outhinks himself on the timeout right before the kick and it costs him. oh go f yourself carpenter.

I hate that icing bs timeout, esp. a chip shot. Just a fitting end to a piss poor coaching day.

I would not mind seeing Carp replaced. He had 1 great year and kickers are a dime a dozen.

Would definitely look for another kicker.....missing kicks under 50 yds just doesn't cut it!

Cost us the game PLAIN and SIMPLE!

Philbin you gd mf pos!

You stupid mf cs sob!

F you! F yuou and the horse you rode in on yougd mf!

Near 50 yard kicks should never be thought of as gimmes.  As much as I'd like to blame Carpenter, you can't.  Rookie coach is learning on the job.

If they TAKE A KNEE before the half, Bush doesn't get hurt. Miami wins. Period!

I don't know if it's a guaranteed win, but the decision to not take a knee was a huge question mark.  Plus, the decision to keep Daniel Thomas in throughout the 2nd half was dubious.  Was Miller hurt or something?

Miller was missing blocking assignments and was abotu to get Tannehill killed. Plus he forgot a play and went the wrong way on a handoff

I saw the mess up on the running attempt and don't think we saw him after that.  It's a shame if he was missing blocking assignments as he's a huge improvement over Thomas as he can actually do something with the football.  Have I mentioned how much Thomas sucks?

I know this loss stings but the pieces are there. Tannehill is quality. Miller is quality. The o-line is now outstanding. Let them get the rookie mistakes out of their way now.

It might be a long year but the future is looking up. This team needs more players and it isn't going to happen this year. It's a processes and at least we have some key pieces to build around.

The point is, we could be making a playoff push now if not for Carpenter.   

Uh, no. The Jets are a bad team. IF Miami beat them and was 2-1 they still wouldn't be in a playoff push.

2-1 is making a playoff push, my friend

That is just silly. Hindsight is always 20/20. He could have just as easily slipped getting his morning paper.

Now THAT is silly. Comparing getting injured on a meaningless play to falling at home. Plus who buys the morning paper anymore? Everything is online!

If you aren't taking a knee and are just running out the clock not trying to score, put in Thomas or Miller then! Don't risk your ONLY player on offense

Have you lost your mind today? Every single time Bush touches the ball he is a threat to score. The fact he got hurt doesn't change a thing.

They were just trying to run out the clock. They weren't trying to score.

Playoff push, push for a better draft pick...tomatoes, tomotoes....

Seriously, the Jets were a playoff team in 2 of the last 3 yrs. and only wasn't last year because we knocked them out. How bad can they be???

Last year and the year before mean nothing. The Jets are a bad team THIS year

Good god. I have to leave the house with 11 minutes to go and the lead and when I get back I see that they cluster fucked it away again. Why should I expect any different ?

Fins outright GAVE this game away. Obviously Carpenter, but they could have tried to get him a little closer. Anthony Armstrong also dropped what could have been a key 1st Down, hit him right in the numbers. CB Marshall also deserves some of the blame. And Philbin's gotta feel like an idiot calling time out to ice the Kicker when Fins block the FG attempt. Also did not really see any concerted effort to work on Revis' replacement after he went out.

no they weren't. Had Bush picked up some yards we would have then tried moving the ball.  it's one of those things where, because of field position, you run a safe play and then if you break it you try to run it into something. I was listening on the radio at that point and that's how they portrayed it. You, and I , have seen people do that numerous times.

The icing was luck

Philbin made the same mistake in Houston on week one.  Take a knee and go to halftime.  This is not a dynamic scoring team and under no circumstance were they doing anything but running up the middle and eating clock.

The injury is a freak one for sure, but it should have never happened.  That's on Philbin.

Once again, it sucks losing a game you should've won. Looks like a week of avoiding sports talk radio. I can't take a week of hearing: "How the jets are on their way, Sparano gets his revenge, Is it time to start Tebow?"

On a better note. The Dolphins are showing more promise than I thought they would at this point.

LOL Wait until next week. Everyone will be talking about the 4-0 Cards and asking when Tanny gets out of the hospital. Vick took a beating yesterday!

Excuse me for the prickish anti Tebow comment here....It might have already been mentioned...

When we play the jets again....Every time Tebow doesn't line up as a QB, I would liked to seen him get jammed hard off the line of scrimmage...On Special teams make sure he gets blocked down...While the Jets aren't fully taking advantage of what Tebow is doing now (I was shocked at how little they used him yesterday.) I wonder if they'd use him less as a decoy (lined up other than QB) if he's taking unnecessary hits..

I'm not talking about Knee capping Tebow, the poor player that ever hurts Tebow  :o

Cardinal talk, I can tolerate. But the green team from NY talk is nauseating. Once it starts, it doesn't stop.

Tebow was so god awful bad yesterday when he was playing offense  I wouldn't do anything different when we play them again. He went for a pass and the ball hit him in the head. He tried his little wildcat plays a few times and it blew up on him every time. Let Tebow be Tebow and don't mess with anything. Let him F' up on his own.

Aside from the fake punt he was worthless yesterday. On offense and hurt them more than helped them. And for the 2nd time in 3 weeks they line Tebow up at QB for a play it goes bad, the next play Sanchez is at QB and throws an INT. That is why it is a disaster for the Jets.
