Shame of the Game - at San Diego

[jtex316]

How about Anthony Fasano?

This guy has been a complete and total bum all season long. He fumbles twice in week 1, then he misses a big play in week 2, and in week 3 he does absolutely nothing again. For the wildcat to actually scare people and work, you need a Tight End who can be a safety valve and can block well. Fasano can't do either of these things. He is the biggest bum on the team, with Ted Gimp a close 2nd.

Gloria Estefan, Emilio Estefan, Marc Anthony, Venus Williams and Serena Williams.

They have done nothing to improve this team and since coming on board the team is winless.

There actually is some merit to this. This may very well be a bad ownership situation from here on out. Bill Polian and Robert Kraft are two of the best team owners in the game, and consistently their teams are two of the best, regardless of players or coaches. Meanwhile, Al Davis's team sucks, and Jerry Jones' team can't win. How will a team owned by Gloria estefan and serena williams perform?

Wayne Huizenga should re-buy the Dolphins.

If you guys are going to give Ginn the shame for not catching any balls, you HAVE To consider Fasano.  Good for one is good for both.  Fasano hasn't caught a ball in 2 and a half games and fumbled twice.  Who's the bigger disappointment?

I'm giving the shame to Will Allen.  He got beat over and over and got torched by Jackson for a deep ball.  He just got burned right off the line.

Honorable mention to Chad Henne for playing like a terrible QB.  I'd rather have Fiedler back than Henne at this point.

Bo objective.  I think the problem is that you guys expect way too much out of Ted Ginn, and look for any reason to blame him.  Both of the balls thrown to him were thrown poorly.  I'd love to hear the argument that those two mid-range passes not being caught were the reason the Dolphins lost.  Not Henne's pick-6.  Not Ronnie's fumble.  Not the secondary's pourous coverage.  Ted Ginn's lack of amazing catches.

Shame of the game is whatever linebacker blew their assignment and allowed Rivers to walk into the endzone from the 6 yard line.

I have a feeling this is what the Penny lovers and Henne haters (out of spite) are about to do from now on. (Just take a look at the Brady Quinn thread)

Not keeping in mind he's had no REAL game experience outside of preseason. He IS going to make mistakes, God forbid. This is his first crack at the helm on a sub-par team and coaches calling Ãœber conservative plays. Start talking after a full season if there's no development.

Our safeties.  Again.  Were awful.  Three teams, three times carved up in the passing game. 

[jtex316]

I agree with ^ except for the part about the Dolphins being a sub-par team. They are much worse right now than a sub-par 1-2 team. They are tied for dead last in the NFL at 0-3. They keep this up they may be able to draft Colt McCoy!

[Dave Gray]

The Dolphins are better than their record indicates right now, and are not playing the worst football in the league.  That said, we certainly don't look good.

I give my shame to Dan Henning.  His play calling bordered on ludicrous, and never gave us any shots at scoring, when we were in the red zone.

[DZA]

I disagree. Last week, he drops the game winning TD pass. This week he has 6 balls thrown to him, and ends up with....ZERO receptions, including back to back drops in clutch time. And this is supposed to be our number one receiver with the multi million dollar contract. In no way is he is a "fine receiver"....he's just a huge disappointment.

Perhaps his problem this week was a vaginal yeast infection.

When did anyone say he was a sure #1 option?  Do you u see a true 1 on the fins, and if so can the QB  utilize their talent?  I always found ginn to have great hands  but that did not show against SD.

I've heard this story before, the kid's name was John Beck.  How'd that work out?

[Thundergod]

Which is where all the confusion sets in. Beck was in the same position, but all the Beck apologists are now acting like the Beck haters then towards Henne. Odd.

I was (and still am) a Beck proponent, or apologist (c'mon, his name is John!  He MUST be awesome!).  I am also a Henne proponent now.  I really hope he's the guy so Miami can focus on drafting safety, linebacker, and wide receiver help next year.  Maybe a tight end, too...

At least our offensive line has improved dramatically since then (despite waving a linebacker through for a sack against the Chargers). That's probably the #1 thing for an inexperienced quarterback. That and a good running game - which we also have.

Don't blame the linebacker for that, blame Paul Pasqualoni.  He's only seen it on film about 8 times now and hasn't adjusted or made a correction yet. 

My vote goes to Ted Ginn for dropping a couple passes.  You can't really bitch at the offensive line, quarterback got fucked up but was standing upright nearly the whole game then because of said fucking up was replaced by a first year player,
the defense played well until the first year player got picked off on a throw he never should have made.  Ronnie Brown had a fumble so that's probably at least HM status, and the TE's never showed up.
