  • Our Offensive line is a piece of shit.

  • But seriously what do you all expect Weeden to do when every play he's running for his life?

  • Well...look at the bright side guys...we're tied for 1st place in the division.

  • I would lo,e to thank Skreen, Weeden, and the offensive line for showing up today!

    Yeah. We're in the playoff hunt.

  • Trent Richardson: Nothing the Dolphins can't handle. He'll be ok after this game lol

    Well it's pretty easy to stop a running game when there is zero passing game. Your running game was 10 times worse than the Browns, but Hartline looked really good. Haden had no problems with Wallace.

  • You know what makes me mad the most after today's game? The fact I thought our playcalling had improved considerably. It just did not. Chud and the rest of the staff have got 15 games to prove me wrong.

    I care... Benji had no chance to "fight" for that throw... which is why it was his poorest throw.

    Yup... too hard...

    That's an incredibly stupid analysis. It was a great call on third and long when we are already well out of FG range. Plus Weeden was hit as he threw. What are the odds a punt is downed on the 1 yard line? Pretty slim chance. It was a great decision to throw...

    lol... You're right... It was the single greatest decision to throw a cinch interception in the history of the NFL...

    It wasn't a "cinch" interception, but let's even pretend that it was for a second. If Weeden holds onto the ball, he is sacked and the Browns are forced to punt. There is about a 0% chance that we pin the dolphins on their own 1 yard line. It's not my fault you can't do the math. It's no wonder you never predict any games correctly when you can't understand simple math...

  • Negative: the offensive front, the receivers, and the secondary. Cousins played terrible, as did much of the rest of the o-line. The receivers made Weeden look much worse than he actually played, especially considering the lack of time he had. The secondary gave too much of a cushion, basically giving up 8 yd completions all day.

    Positive: Cameron looks like he is as good as advertised. Bess and Weeden are developing some chemistry. Desmond Bryant looks like he's going to be very good for us. The Front 7 shut down the running game, and provided decent pressure on the QB. Haden shut down Wallace, again.

    Neutral: Cundiff didn't miss any kicks. Richardson got as many yards as he could.

    Agreed. We needed to blitz more in the second half to make up for our poor secondary play. Owens and Skrine were giving huge cushions to Hartline and Gibson all day.

  • 6 sacks 20 knockdowns & 30 hurries? Never gonna win like that,Cousins sucks but it wasn't all on him.

    Got to give credit to the Miami front 4 but damn....

    I said before that most people overestimated our O-Line and they were gonna struggle having to protect longer.

    Haden did a nice job on the one trick pony but him and Ward have to catch those int's.

    I think Po-G went to the game and made another sign did you see the 16-0 banner.

  • I think calling 53 pass plays out of 72 in total doesn't help developing a quarterback.

    End of first quarter we had 4.1 yards per carry. But then we stopped handing the ball over to Richardson.

  • Very, very frustrating, but not surprising. Our #3 RB sure looked like AP today..............Yea right. Any old undrafted FA RB would've had the same game as TR. Lots of holes? No, this is the NFL, there are never lots of holes, so don't come at me with that crap. I'm not putting the blame on TR, I'm just frustrated that all of our high draft picks are just everyday Joes. Weeden sucks...Period. Nothing our coaches can call when we lack talent all over the field, and especially at QB, WR & RB.

    Our defense did a nice job, but not great, and again, I'm not surprised. It wasn't like they were playing the GB Packers, it was the fookin' Dolphins with their own (and much better) 2nd year QB after all.

    Another opening day ruined for me, time to sign off and enjoy the rest of my day.

  • Not so sure, I think hopefully one positive we can take away from this is Weeden got the shit beat out of him. Now of course that's not really a good thing but you would hope that it will somehow be a learning experience from it and give him a little more courage in the pocket. On that last drive he seemed to be a little bit more ballsy than the Weeden were used to seeing, he didn't seem to panic as much and stuck it out as long as possible, hopefully it carries over.

  • It's so tough to be a successful QB in today's league if you can't move well. Either REALLY well (Kaepernick, RG3, Wilson, Luck, Tannehill, Rodgers, etc.) or at least reasonably well (Flacco, Ben, etc.). Defenses are drafting/finding pass rushers for all over the field and if you can't turn a broken pocket into a gain... you better be brilliant at reading defenses pre-snap like a Manning or Brady.

    Weeden is neither and gets very uncomfortable with a dirty pocket. I'm sure I'll take shit for overreacting, but I don't think he's the guy nor will he ever be. I'd make the switch to Jason Campbell now because he makes sense next year mentoring Tajh. Weeden isn't a starter or a backup/mentor.

    Honestly, Tannehill is a lot better than Weeden, period. Both have the big arms but Tannehill's a way better athlete, a finalist for the Academic Heisman, and 25. It's not close in value. The upside is this regime would not have passed on Tannehill. Mayock's quote: "You don't overthink it. You take the QB at #4." He meant Tannehill and Banner/Lombardi have the same philosophy.

    We'll see but I feel about Weeden like I felt about DA: Big arm and... well, big arm.

    Got to Feed the Beast! Don't abandon the run...

  • As well as they played the run I'm not convinced at all. We did well today but if we were to give up 200 yards to the Ravens I can't say I'd be shocked.

  • Man Quarterbacks are like women, you know right away if you got the right one. If you're sitting around trying to make excuses and say well let's see maybe he is maybe he isn't you're just fooling yourself.

    The beast............Funny. 47yds on 13 carries.........I guess we have two very different descriptions of "Beast".
