Shame of the game - Jets

[DZA]

SHAME goes to the Freakin offense... What a way to bore me for 3 hours.

[Jim Gray]

Smith defended a bunch of passes.  While I wish he would intercept some of those balls, his coverage is solid.

I have to vote for Henne today.  I'm not asking for 300 yards against a good defense; but 55 yards is just sad.  When he did have opportunities, he missed receivers.  Even when he hits a receiver, he doesn't put the ball in a place where they can continue running.  Also, he didn't take care of the ball, with 2 fumbles.  With Miami in field goal range (a score that likely would have sealed the game), he fumbles the ball away without being hit.

To Dave and Jim comments...I agree he's over coached,and I don't think he trusts his receivers are going to be there, run the right route,and fight for the ball at times.I feel Bess is the only one he really trusts....

The one fumble, I don't put on him he got drilled...the other,he flailed around on the turf,was just plain horrible...Ronnie's fumble was just as bad....

I didn't like the game plan...But I think Henne could have done a better job.......

Shame goes to Henne....

Honorable mention

CBS,I don't need 10 shots of Fireman Ed during the game,The Next two weeks, I want 10 shots a piece of Big Pappa Pump,and No throwing a big advertisement over him so you can barely see shit,when coming back from commercial.....

Henne didn't win us the game, that's for sure.  But he threw the game's only TD. 

The entire offense sucked, not just Henne.  So its gotta go on Henning.  Poor preparation, running game stifled.  No one can catch, and that damn WILDCAT!  When will he stop calling this crap?  Try running out of the I-formation, you might fool a defense every now and then.

I think Henne showed that he's better than Sanchez today.

[Dave Gray]

I can't blame Henning today, at all.  I don't think play calling was the problem.  It was execution.  Drops, check-downs, turnovers and missed receivers.  I could see some big plays called and Henne decided not to throw the ball (which was fine).  Henning can only call the plays, he doesn't go out there and mess up the execution.

Henne hands down. I actually kinda feel sorry for him because with the right team I think he would be a solid QB. But as everyone here knows, if you play for the dolphins you have to be the "needle in the haystack" QB to be successful. 

[dolfan13]

henne was pretty bad yesterday. 55 yards total passing?

dolphins won because amazingly, as putrid as henne was, dirty sanchez was worse.

[jtex316]

55 Yards and 5 (five) completions, 2 fumbles.

Henne.

I think Henne played bad but I have a really hard time giving it to him for a couple of reasons. He protected the ball for the most part. I think he took two smart sacks and didn't force things. The game allowed for him to be that conservative but it was also him being smart enough not to reach. We could have easily lost this game by trying to do too much on a day when clearly the whole offense was struggling. We didn't and for that reason alone I think he played it smart.

With that said I can't think of any individual to give it to other than the Jets conditioning coach. What a freakin tool!

[bsfins]

I don't have a problem with giving it to Henning,but for the first time I felt,Henne lost confidence in everyone (sort of himself included)...and it showed...It was the first game where I was praying,DON'T throw the ball!.It felt very much like the game against the Bills (a Wanny Game), where Fielder was QB,and we won because Ricky carried the ball a zillion times....It seemed every time Fiedler dropped back to pass,something bad happened....

It almost felt like the CBS Broadcast was streamed directly to Henne's helmet,and everything they said about Sanchez,Henne took it as them talking to him....

It's why I shouldn't do game ball/Shame of the game the same day as the game...because I'm too emotionally attached to it!

Modified to add, I still like Henne,but this game baffled me...

[Brian Fein]

I gave it to Henning because the offense as a whole sucked balls.  And he is the offensive coordinator.  He is responsible for the offense.  That's how this works, I thought.  You always say "one guy employed by the Miami Dolphins" - If you'd prefer I'll give it to "the whole offense" like everyone else.

[jtex316]

...We could have easily lost this game by trying to do too much on a day when clearly the whole offense was struggling. We didn't and for that reason alone I think he played it smart.

This is why the Dolphins are 7-6 this season, with extremely very few touchdowns. They should be 10-3 with that defensive unit.

You can't be a good / playoff-caliber team by hanging in there by a thread each and every week. If you do, you'll win some (@ Jets, @ Packers, @ Vikings) and then you'll also lose some (vs. Pittsburgh, vs. Cleveland).

This team isn't going anywhere by relying on Dan Carpenter for all of their scoring all the time.

I have a couple of reasons Henne looked so putrid yesterday. 

First of all, the weather didn't exactly lend itself to passing the ball.  Henne wasn't the only one that looked bad.  Sanchez did, the WR's did, EVERYONE looked bad, so I think you have to cut Henne a little slack there.  Even Ronnie lost a fumble. The ball seemed a bit hard to grip.

But the 2nd reason and the one I'm more concerned about is that I think Henne and Hartline had started to develop a chemistry.  Hartline was missed more than Marshall was missed the last couple of weeks.  I know a lot of you don't think much of Hartline, but I think he's been one of Miami's most consistent WR's this year and Henne I think clearly missed him not being on the field yesterday.

Getting back to Miami should help with the weather issue.  With Hartline on IR now, not sure what can be done about that issue.  Someone needs to step up.  Wish that someone would be Marshall.

[Brian Fein]

^^ Marshall needs to show in these last 3 games why he's one of the best in the league.  I'm getting sick of how many balls he drops.  Seems like 1-2 balls per game, and yesterday was no different.

BTW - Marlon Moore = Ted Ginn

[Tenshot13]

Henne for sure.
