dolphins play

[jtex316]

This is why analysts hype up "The Wildcat" (because it gives them something to talk about) but NFL teams really don't give too much of a shit about it because the Dolphins can barely win with it. They are really 3 last-second plays away from being 1-8 (lucky TD vs. the Jets, lucky goal-line stop vs. the Jets, lucky that the Bucs defense sucks and that Henne didn't cost them the game).

This is just like last year's 11-5 lucky-ass team where they eeked out victories against shit teams like the Jets and Bucs week in and week out. The dolphins over the last 2 seasons are by far the league's luckiest team because they always luck out wins. I'd like to see them TAKE CONTROL and START TO DOMINATE teams like the Colts or Pats or other top teams for a change. Until then this team - and the Wildcat - are gimmicks that cannot win important ball-games.

Yea, and we cut the kid that kicked those three 50+ FGs earlier this year. 

Yeah, and his kid brother helped kill the 'Canes last weekend, too (kicks for North Carolina).  I've had it with the Barth brothers.  Barth brothers make me barf!

The Barth brothers are the poor man's shorthanded caucasion version of the Zendejas brothers. I really think Casey is going to have a much better NFL career than Connor though...that kid has serious ice water in his veins.

Is there any chance our coaching staff looked past the Bucs during prep last week, with an eye towards the Panthers game? Seriously, the game plan was horrible. I've been -- and AM -- a big Sparano fan, but play-calling has been atrocious this year, but the Bucs game really took the cake. I'm HOPING it's a case of looking past the Bucs...

Yea, damn near 1-8 and damn near 8-1 mostly because of the Wildcat.  I'd say the Saints probably would have beaten us by close to 21 points or so (sound about right, Jtex?) if it weren't for the Wildcat.  The Wildcat might have pulled out a San Diego victory too, but that was left to an inexperienced QB that was forced to play due to injury.  I think the problem is more pass defense than our offensive sets.   

We beat the Panthers by conventional means but it took a relatively mistake-free effort by our receivers to do so.

Speaking of the Zendejas brothers, isn't one of their sons playing at the University of Arizona right now?   I saw an Alex Zendejas miss a 24 yarder that would've won the game against Oregon if he made it.

^^^ Yep...Alex jr is Alex Sr.'s kid. and the nephew of Max, Luis and Alan.  All of the Zendejas' family kicks in AZ, and Max and other Zendejas family members still run most of the kicking camps and clinics held in the Valley as well.

I saw that kick as well...and was completely unamused.
