This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
INEXCUSABLE>>>>I put this on SPARANO"S SHOULDERS!>>BEEN CALLING FOR HIS HEAD FOR SOMETIME>>>as long as he's manning the ship this team will be no better than.500.
TIMEOUTS WASTED AND CONFUSION ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL>>>INSTEAD OF LEADING MAYBE 21-10...we go in tied 10-10.
Screw the cap locks....take off your glasses and watch this idiot in action on the sidelines....keep hping for miracles...they won't happen with this loser at the helm!
I have no control over what happens. I find it to be more fun to be optimistic about this team than to be an obnoxious and negative fan, like so many others on here.
The Dolphins were 1-15 and easily the worst team in the league.
Since then they've won a division title and picked up a significant amount of talent. Only one team wins the championship each year. It's been two years. Freaking calm down.
I have to agree with everyone. Yes, we won. Yes, we have done well given the past. But seriously, if anyone thinks that the coaching staff is a good gameday staff, you are smoking something.
The playcalling is for the most part horrid. Clock management is still a problem. The players on offense and defense seem constantly confused, and we still go into both 2:00 warnings with one or no TOs nearly every game. We continually seem outcoached as the game progresses, which says to me that this coaching staff cannot make adjustments.
At least we fixed some of the special teams problems, but this team still has a LOT of work to do.

The time-out management definitely stinks. The decision not to throw a hail mary up for B. Marshall at the end of regulation? Bizarre.
I think the front office has done a good job acquiring talent and putting together a solid team. I think Dan Henning has designed a good offense and schemes well, even if the plays being called are often head-scratching.
But yeah, I am not impressed by the coaching either. I know it's easy to sit here and say "the coaches are making mistakes," but perhaps there's a reason for that. If they keep doing the same dumb things every week, then you're damn right it's going to be easy to criticize them.
Great win, definitely game could have been managed better, but winning makes it all better.
Wake was the player of the game! This guy has star power written all over him. He reminds me of a faster Demarcus Ware!
Love the fact that we are using Marshall even in double coverage. This guy is a beast and eventually this offence will explode for 30+ points per game.

I complete agree here. I think people that are ripping the FO, really don't have a clue. This team is top 10 in NFL talent. We just beat another team that is top 10 in talent, although 3 of their best players are injured. By every rights we should have blown them out. The players played well enough to blow them out. But there was something missing.

I don't know about that. Hard to say the offense is "designed" well if it is not executed correctly.

I have actually been on their side for the past three years. But I'm slowly turning. I thought they would have figured out the clock management thing by now. I thought they would have ditched the WC before NE. Not firing the old ST coach after the Jets game was the final straw for me.
At least Tony Sparano threw the Red flag. He should have won that challenge. But since he lost, he'll probably never throw it again for the rest of the season, no matter how bad the officiating gets.
The playcalling is really predictable. The end arounds have not worked at all this season, and you have to wonder why we use them when we have no speed on offense. And you can always see those toss sweeps coming, and we can never get them blocked. We haven't been able to execute a screen pass to a running back consistently since Tony Nathan was here. And we always try those inside handoffs from the shotgun when we jump into hurry up mode. That's another one of those predictable calls.
But, as annoyed as I was with the playcalling today, I have to admit the screen pass to Fasano was a great playcall and a great design.

The TD to Fasano SURELY was a pre-designed call. The lead blocker didn't just happen to be be there in exactly the right place for the screen. It was intentional.
OH and by the way, that makes it a GREAT OFFENSIVE PLAY CALL. Gotta point attention to that when it happens....because it isn't often enough!
I think the two best offensive calls of the season were screen passes that ended up being TDs. One to Ricky in a previous game then this one to Fasano.
