Shame of the Game - Indianapolis

[dolphins4life]

Whoever was responsible for that horrible clock management.

I can't give it to Ginn for that "Drop" which was a very tough play.  He had like 11 catches, and almost all of them converted third or fourth downs.

Let's not beat ourselves up over this.  The Dolphins were 0-2 last year, remember.

Defense.  Allowing over 10 yards per play.

[doctord56]

Pennington for his awful clock management with the game on the line. And Gabril Wilson played like a girl, getting his ass beat all night.

Ted Ginn!

What a terrible WR. He's so scared to take a hit (he ducked one out of bounds earlier), and then dropped the game-winning TD!!

Honorable Mention: The Wildcat.

Honorable Mention #2: Game Management (clock management)

Side Notes: The Wildcat simply does not work in the National Football League. I don't care how many yards per attempt the Wildcat gained against the Colts, who have the worst defense in history. It simply DOES NOT WORK in the NFL. How am I so sure of this? Because when the Colts went up 27-23, and there were 3 minutes left on the clock and ACTUAL NFL football needed to be played, it was absolutely pathetic by the Dolphins. They are running the slow-huddle, traditional 1st quarter offense with 1 timeout, down by 4, and on your own 15 yard line? And then completely blowing over a minute of time doing absolutely nothing but huddling and Chad Pennington waving to the crowd?? Then you allow completely tired DL's and DE's to beat your offensive linemen on pass protection, including an almost game-losing fumble by the Colts DL? Pathetic. And where was Ronnie Brown on the final drive?? Horrible.

This should have been a total Dolphins destruction of the Colts. Instead, they played cutesy, used gadgets, gimmicks, tricks, trickeration, and show. But when it was all said and done and NFL football was needed, the Dolphins simply could not deliver it.

...Oh...and they play @ San Diego next. I hear the Statue of Liberty works well against Shawne Merriman

Pennington.  You're supposed to be the veteran and that clock management was that of an 8 year old playing in his first pee-wee league game.

Dave should give us the power to delete comments in our own threads.  The wildcat kicked ass tonight

And please, shut up about Ginn, if everyone else on the team had played HALF as good as he did tonight, the fish win easily

[stinkfish]

Ginn.

Pennington.  You're supposed to be the veteran and that clock management was that of an 8 year old playing in his first pee-wee league game. 

I agree, especially how the defense was nice enough to let the colts take the lead going 80 yards in 4 plays to give pennington all that time to drive down the field.

[stinkfish]

The Dolphins really suck. Give it to the entire defense for letting Manning throw for over 300 on 14 completions.

[Defense54]

CHANNING FUCKING CROWDER.   Missed tackles, and because of him we need to play Zone instead of man to man.  He's just not helping our corners out at all. WTF did we give him a new Contract? He's all mouth and no action.

I LOVE how the commentary of the whole game was about how little the Colts had the ball...they were fucking scoring with 3 plays!!!

Colts drives:

Dallas Clark 80 yard TD pass from Peyton Manning (Adam Vinatieri extra point is GOOD), 14:48
Drive: 1 play, 80 yards in 0:12 

Donald Brown 15 yard TD run (Adam Vinatieri extra point is GOOD), 10:06
Drive: 6 plays, 79 yards in 3:17

Pierre Garcon 48 yard TD pass from Peyton Manning (Adam Vinatieri extra point is GOOD), 3:18
Drive: 4 plays, 80 yards in 0:32  I

fuck this defense is bad.

[Guru-In-Vegas]

That offensive play calling was TERRIBLE.  running the ball with 3 minutes left deep in your own territory?  Sure, their run D sucks almost as bad as our pass D but shit dude!!!

My Shame of the Game goes to Gibril Wilson.  On ALL THREE of those drives, he missed a tackle that could've stopped those touchdowns!!!!!  On the final TD with Garcon, he just tagged him!!!  On top of that, he dropped a pick late in the 2nd quarter that led to an Indy field goal!!!!!  Gibril, you're a piece of shit!!!  We should've NEVER paid you all that money to come from NY and Oakland!!!!!

Honorable Mention goes to that official who failed to call pass intereference on whoever was covering Ted Ginn in the end zone in the closing seconds.  That was clear pass interference!!!!!!

^^^

I thought so too, but on the replay, there was no PI

Good call

The refs did a good job tonight
