Before you go.....Do the board a favor and again explain to us the merits of your original position about why it made sense to pitchback the ball five yards against the niners when we were leading by only 5 points with 2:45 left in the game and were at the bare edge of his field goal accuracy. Let's return this to being about football.

Ghotirule, Weren't you one of the "non-simple-minded" persons that kept saying that that field goal risking pitchback five yards was not a bad running play to call against the Niners ahead by only 5 points and with 2:45 left in the game and to say otherwise was just Monday morning qbing? I could have sworn you were.

Monday morning quarterback or making observations in hindsight (eesti?), I want to get this out right now. Most people see the question of who wins the division as being simple, 1) if we WIN, it's us or, 2)if we lose and the Pats win, it's the Pats, or3) if we lose and the Pats lose, it's the Jets. However, provided the scoreboard shows that the Pats have lost and we are in overtime, we sho

Well for people like eesti, they are gonna accuse you of monday morning quarterbacking. I agree with the call to go for it on 4 and 1 at the 5 yard line with only about 2 minutes and a little change to go. WHAT WAS FREAKING STUPIDDDDDD WAS THE DECISION TO PASS THE DAMN BALL!!!!!!! What in the HELLLLL WERE THEY THINKING? A run has two advantages. Either you make a touchdown or you ge

and we have such a lack of pressure on the quarterback that he forgets the age old advice of every coach from pee wee to pro that "when the ball is on the ground, don't try to pick it up, fall on it." I point this out to demonstrate the total lack of any pressure we have on the quarterback.

Well, eesti, I guess you agree also with the fact that the Buffalo Bills were rigbt to have J.P. Losman back trying to pass when he was sacked and fumbled the ball whereupon Shaun Ellis picked it up and ran in FOR THE WINNING TOUCHDOWN THAT THE JETS WOULD HAVE HAD TO WORK HARD TO OBTAIN AFTER A BILLS PUNT EVEN IF THE BILLS HAD RUN THE BALL AND GOT STUFFED. The problem with Ghotirule's logic is

Well, they are going to have to lose another game in order for us to beat them out for a wild card spot if it comes to that because they beat us head to head, Baltimore, that is. So like the earlier guy, I was just grateful for the call, correct or not, and I believe it was not.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

That brings up a second point. Some say that the ball went into the endzone whereupon the receiver bobbled it and then got a firm grasp of it after his momentum had taken his hands containing the ball out of the endzone. According to those persons, he then did the equivalent of the "two feet statute" as he and the ball were falling back into the field of play. I guess Montequi woul

There were two other "brilliant" calls by offensive coordinators that cost us and almost cost us. The first that cost us was the genius decision to have J.P. Lousyman attempt to pass while the Bills should have been running down as much of the clock as they could against the Jets. The fumble raises the question of what the hell he was doing passing anyway. An old coach from the 5
