The Dolphins Make Me Cry.com - Forums

In one of the least anticipated match ups of the season the 0-5 Deadskins take on the 0-4  LOLphins.  This game could have huge ramifications for the draft and the respective teams quests to join the 08 Lions “accomplishment”.  With plenty tickets on stubhub available for as low as $25, expect a small crowd.  Also it could be a mixed crowd with some of the few Dolphin fan that show up rooting for a higher draft pick joining a small handful of retirees from the DC area in rooting for Washington. 

Fun fact: First week 6 or later meeting of two winless teams since in 2004. 

Predicted score.  Washington 2-0.  Only score comes late fourth quarter when a miscommunication between Haack and Pepper results in ball being sent out the back of the end-zone fueling endless debate if this was just a sign of how incompetent the Dolphins are or if this was a nefarious purposeful tanking.  🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

What is your prediction?
 

Week 9: NYJ @ MIA
Week 11: NYJ @ WSH
Week 13: NYJ @ CIN
Week 14: MIA @ NYJ
Week 16: MIA @ CIN

It is still possible for both Wash and Cinc to both go 0-16.  Also possible for SF and NE to meet at the SB both being 18-0.

Huge game for us, we really have to hope that Washington rallies around the new coach and wins this one behind Case Keenum. If they lose to us, they spiral and could go 1-15.

Trap game for one of these teams. We’ll find out who wants that number one pick more. Redskins or Dolphins.

7-0 Washington.

Go Skins!

Of course Flores goes for a 2pt conversion while at home against arguably the worst opponent MIA will play this year.

The fix is in, comrades.

Better bench Fitzpatrick next week, that asshole almost cost us a loss.

If Flores was looking to lose he wouldn't have switched QBs.  Going for two makes sense if you want to avoid OT.  make it you win miss you lose. 

Exactly, he had an onside kick and everything. I understand going for 2 completely. The season will be 2 wins at best, so why not go for it? What do you got to lose? Probably our best shot to win that game.

Of course, don't ever fucking do it again.

Going for 2 makes sense if you are an overmatched team hoping to steal a win from a significantly better opponent, or if you are on the road.

Or if you want to end the game. 

What happened today also happened twice in 2017 with Matt Moore coming in for Jay Cutler. 

Dave said the reason he played well was because the team hadn't prepared for his style of play and he was coming in fresh after everybody else was tired.

Is there a way the Dolphins can use this to their advantage with a two-quarterback system?

I agreed with it.

Under the old rules, i would have said try to tie the game, but a thirty five yard extra point is far from a gimme.

The Dolphins were clearly the weaker team.  The Redskins definitely would have had the advantage in overtime.

The play call was similar to what the Patriots did in the Super Bowl against the Falcons.

However, even Drake had caught the ball, he wasn't going to score.

Yeah, the call was fine. Going for 2 would've yielded a higher chance of victory than taking your chances in OT and having a coin flip heavily decide the outcome.

Horrible play call though. Screen pass?

Only when you are a shitty team with no real QB. No need to switch things up when Drew Brees is in.

Or great play call depending upon how you look at it.  ::)

ESPN's game summary said the game was decided by a dropped pass.

This is absurd.  Don't they know how to watch videos?

Drake had NO chance at scoring whatsoever. 

Also, can everybody STFU about tanking?

Drafting a quarterback number one doesn't do anything.  Just ask the Texans and Raiders.   

It would've been a miracle if he scored but he did drop the pass. Just a bad play call and execution.

If he hold on to the ball he has a decent chance of getting in.  The play calling was fine, execution was flawed.

I didn't see it but I've listened to three different Miami radio shows today and they said he had no chance of scoring even if he caught it including Joe Rose and Channing Crowder.  In fact ... Channing Crowder literally just said he'd had been hurt with the guys zeroed in on him. They seem to think the whole defense was keyed in on Drake.

I watched a youtube clip, looks like he had one guy to beat.  But it didn't include all22 so i could be wrong.  Not the call i would have called that situation I go with power it up the middle, QB sneak or jump ball to a tall reciever all ready in end zone.

That one guy was all over him, plus several other defenders were nearby.

Why not use the other two point play the Patriots used against the Falcons?  The direct snap to the running back

The read option that Tannehill used to run would have been my call. Fitz would have probably easily run it in on the edge. But then again we didn't really want him to score, haha.

Hochman & Crowder interviewed a reporter from the Washington Post who claimed that Redskin players said when Drake went into motion they all got excited as that was the biggest play they had prepared for all week. Apparently it is a well scouted play of ours. 

We can't risk coming that close to winning again this year.  There has to be an insurmountable lead for the opponent by the 2nd quarter for every game the rest of the year.  They can't keep screwing around by keeping it close like they did in the Washington game.  It was almost as if some of the guys WANTED to win last week.  I hope they got their asses ripped after the game for trying too hard.   ;D

It's all about gambling, the Dolphins got close enough to cover the spread....VICTORY!!!!
