I can hardly believe that we WON this game
start && end > -1) {
if (start > -1) {
var res = data.substring(start, end);
start = res.indexOf('>') + 1;
res = res.substring(start);
if (res.length != 0) {
eval(res);
}
}
cursor = end + 1;
}
}
}

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.
1. Since when is it legal to bump chests with the punt returner? The rules say that a returner has to be given a three-yard cushion to cartch the ball. So, why wasn't it called?
2. I DO NOT like Sean Smith. However, he made some important plays today. He defensed several passes, made some critical tackles-still, he had his hands on the ball AT LEAST a half a dozen times- there were only four legitimate interception opportunities, and he dropped them all. Sheesh.
3. Henne consistently holds the ball entirely too long. I think this is his biggest problem.
4. Doesn't anybody police the sidelines? What that guy on the Jets' sideline did was inconcionable. He should be out of a job tomorrow.
5. Brandon Fields was the MVP today-field position was the name of the game.
6.Rashad Jones was Fields right-hand man. He made great plays on at least three punts to prevent any returns at all.
7.Cameron Wake for All-Pro!
Did you see the coverage today? We had no one open. This is really the worst case matchup for us. With Revis on Bess, he is totally taken out of the game. Bess does not have the size or speed to be effective lined up at split end or flanker. And it is just magnified if he's matched up with an elite corner like Revis. Bess in the slot, matched up with LBs and Saefties, that's good. Outside against corners? Not so good. And Marshall at less than 100% was easily handled by Cromartie. And did you notice his complete lack of effort to get open on that last 3rd down rollout we called? With Marshall and Bess effectively eliminated from the offense, we don't have another legitimate WR on the team.
The offensive line pass protection was awful. On the first Henne fumble, Lydon Murtha gave the defender a free shot at Henne without even touching him. There was a ton of pressure allowed from that side all game, including my Mastrud at TE, as well. And there was a lot of pressure up the middle, with poor blitz pickups from the running backs.

I was impressed with sean smith today. Seemed like he was everywhere.

Go back and watch the game again, with unbiased eyes. You will not see anyone open. And we kept the backs in to block almost the entire game.

I agree, they are supposed to call interference if he isn't left a perimeter of about three yards. The only exception is supposed to be if some one on the punting team was blocked-into the punt returner.
Noldan Carroll was a goat last week for dropping that INT, but lost in the shuffle is that this kid is a pretty good player. Good KR and has been solid in the secondary.

You must have been at the game b/c you couldn't have seen that on TV.
