Andre Goodman - consistently got beat in coverage, on a physical level

Paul Pasqualoni - responsible for defensive collapse, and schemes allowing for wide open receivers

Tony Sparano - for comprehensive offensive and defensive meltdown, including multiple mental mistakes

Don't blame Goodman.  The refs wouldn't let him cover the receivers

Pasqualoni - the entire defense was horrendous.

seriously, enough with blaming the refs.  The Refs didn't tell him to stand 10 yards away while Boldin ran by him all day.

I don't blame Pasqualoni, cause Will Allen's side was shut down for the most part, except for when Chris Crocker tackled him instead of Fitzgerald.  You gotta give some responsibility to lack of execution, and that means Goodman is the only choice here.

I totally blame Pasqualoni.

There were several plays where Boldin and Fitzgerald were uncovered, because of scheme.  On Boldin's first TD, a LB was covering him, with no safeties.  That falls on whoever is calling that play.

Fair enough - point taken.  The defensive play-calling was horrendous, but mostly due to lack of talented personnel.

I actually feel bad for Goodman.  He (and many other corners and safeties) got beaten because they aren't as good....bottom line.  Sometimes, they'd have great coverage on Fitzgerald and Warner would throw it anyway.  The dude is so big that he's just jump up and take the ball down anyway.

I think I have to give my vote to Sparano. This team was not prepared and is not disciplined at all. That starts at the top.

What really got me peeved from Sparano was the 12-man penalties....twice.

I think that discipline stuff and not knowing where you're supposed to be comes from the top down.  Although it didn't really matter, when we finally did make a stop, we'd have some meltdown and let the drive continue.

It was unreal I was watching the players sub and they were running into the huddle trying to figure out who was replacing who. There was so much confusion I saw someone and I don't remember who at this point run out, tap another on the shoulder to send him in got into the huddle and sent someone else in after that. It was like this all afternoon with the subs. It was a cluster fuck and the Cardinals knew it. On three different occasions they went into their hurry up offense (up by 20) to get flags on the Fins because they were all over the place. It was a joke.

No, I'm not going to stop.

The refs didn't tell him to stand 10 yard away, but every time he breathed on the receiver, the flag came out.  Eventually you start getting timid.

I'm blaming the refs based on what I saw on my TV screen

Were you watching the same game as the rest of us? Something tells me your picture must've had a lot of static and you saw things we didn't see.

I'd put this one on DB's coach Kacy Rogers, but he's not there, so I'm giving it to Pasqualoni.

How is Cam Cameron NOT an option here? His 1-15 Season has had a cascading effect into this season and possibly next season too. You just don't wash away the stains of Cam Cameron in one off-season - you have to work hard for several years to clear an organization of that plague.

How in the heck can you blame the defense when the offense was just as pathetic?  I don't get it. 

Thats why I went with Sparano.

vince lombardi himself couldn't coach these guys up. its really hard to blame coaches, when physically these guys were just in over their heads.

i would want to vote for jeff ireland for not signing the right talent with respect to the secondary or receiver core.

Cleo Lemon and John Beck

I didn't get to watch the game since no one cares about the Dolphins anymore especially here in Vegas, but it's sure nice to know that my favorite player Mr. Goodman has received recognition for his talent yet again. 

Guru, I will be in Vegas Oct 26.  Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find us a place to watch the Dolphins before then.  This message will self destruct in 10 seconds.

Hey Guru, I hear a lot of the casino's in Vegas have sports bars that serve super-cheap drinks.  Is that true?

^ Not in the bars.  On the casino floor, as long as your gambling your mortgage away you get free drinks.


Do you want a "strip" feel or do you want laid back casino and relaxed environment? 

I would like a relaxed envrionment where I can hide in the dark with my Dolphins gear on.  ;D
