no more excuses

wow, what happened to the format of your posts.....thats WAY better

 

I blame the Orca-5 personally.

 

One of them is gone now, one of them is a third stringer, and a third is about to get beat out by his backup. I think it's time to swap out the sig

 

I know it was ugly, but I am not going to worry about one stupid pre-season game in the rain. We'll be sitting next to each other at the super bowl. RELAX!

 

The sky is falling, the sky is falling !!!!

C'mon man (in my best Keyshawn impression)...it's the first preseason game in a quagmire field. He played pretty well. Think about it, 8/11, 69 yrds looks pretty impressive for 1/4 game (had Marshall and Hartline caught those three drops)...

Way too early to dump on anyone but Stephen Ross for allowing that field to be that bad in the rain....

 

Lets count our blessings......no more injuries!

 

The second I saw that downpour in the first pre-season game I was hoping our key starters wouldn't even step onto the field. I didn't want preseason rust and that rain to combine for any torn up knees.

I'm certainly not worried about any aspect of what happened in this game.

 

Yeah, It has nothing to do with the fact that 3 key passes were flat out droped.

 

Ouch.

 

Those passes were not badly thrown, when a ball goes straight through a WRs hands it is that WR's fault.

 

There is no need to worry about anyone but Pat White. Giving Thiggy that much playing time and letting White just essentially take a knee does not augur well for Pat -- unless we're showcasing Thiggy for a trade.

Ok, I get it. You're being facetious, right?

 

Yah, dam him for throwing that pass right into Marshalls hands for a big gain, oh wait?

PS

Can we get rid of the Jersey # 19, its got bad karma.

 

Burn Marshall's cool-looking gloves, retire/burn the #19 Jersey, and torch that God-forsaken bubble (ship the ashes to Nick Saban's home in Bama).

 

Usually I agree with your posts, but you are way off base on this one. How can you say he was the greatest disappointment? Marshall dropped two perfectly thrown balls that hit him right in the hands, Henne threw another one to Hartline, right in the only spot that only Hartline could have caught that ball and he dropped it. If the WR's do their jobs and catch those balls, Henne goes 8-11 on the day, with at least an additional 30-40 yards probably.

Come on, people need to relax. Preseason week 1 Sure the offense didnt look incredible, but they never do at this time.

 

Sorry, but I didn't see ANY nervousness in him. I actually saw him wink at Fasano (I think it was) like he IS the man in charge out there. Honestly, the only nervousness I see is in you.... and it's unwarranted.

IMO you're reading way too much into what your eyes saw last night. This wasn't a playoff game. No one wants to risk injury in that friggin slop. I don't think we chalked the 1st half up to anything more than filling time in order to give the Oline (Jerry) a chance to show what they (he) can do.

Henne IS our franchise QB. He does NOT need any more competition. He has enough competition within his own self.

that quote applied when he was a rookie; it's meaningless now and can actually be detrimental to a player who feels they've worked their a$$ off to be the leader of the team. All you're doing is sending out a message that you lack confidence in him.... horrible approach no offense. Not to mention your "so called" competition would take away reps from your 1st string QB.... quick way to kill morale and leave an offense not knowing who to believe in as their leader.

 

I don't see anybody making excuses? Simply poiniting out that youre assessment of Henne last night is wrong, because WR's dropped 3 well thrown, catchable balls, is not an excuse, its reality.

 

That's what
reporters do.......
they create drama
b/c that's the crap
that people want to read.

 

It's hard to gather much from last night seeing as it was raining, they spent the whole time in the mud and there really weren't very many plays for the first team offense. No need to panic yet but all in all it is a little disconcerting. They pretty much looked like the same Phins that were on the field last year which isn't going to be good enough. Defense on the other hand looks much better and it looks like we have some decent depth on both sides of the ball.

With the new defense, if Ronnie Brown stays healthy and Marshall gets his groove on we should be in great shape...as long as it isn't raining

 

Are you serious? So you want to start a debate (just like the idiots in the media) about our quarterback, then leave, because people are disagreeing with you??? Come on bro, relax. Preseason week 1.

Obviously you have some sort of issue with Henne. But, you've yet to say what that is? You just rant on and on about no more excuses. Nobody is making any excuses.

Its week 1, preseason. There was nothing wrong with his passes, they just weren't caught by WR's that let them bounce off their hands. It happens, it doesnt mean the QB is worthless.

Again, those aren't excuses, those are the facts, and the reality in the situation.

Take a step back, take a deep breath. It's going to be ok. Stop being so damn negative about this team, and its QB after one pre-season game.

If you really want something to complain about, how about the lackluster play of your beloved OL. False start after false start, a ridiculous holding call on Carey that killed our first drive. That is the real major disappointment of this game.

 

Ugghh this is why I hate the main forum on FinHeaven. Wait...this isn't FinHeaven? Oh, I would've guessed it was with this thread.

 

And did you see that handoff from Pat White? Just terrible...

 

If we don't drop three passes he's 8/11 on the night. One of them was kinda tough. The other two hit them right in the hands. Minimum 7/11. Would have been first downs. How are those remotely his fault? Another pass came out of the mud like a duck.

It was a sloppy game. But I think this is a little too early. Henne got what, three series of muddy, vanilla football? One of which was killed by penalty.

 

I agree about no excuses...I am sick to death of them. I just don't know how much better Henne could have thrown the ball to Marshall. If Marshall catches those two passes, Henne's numbers look way different.

I think he needs to improve, but I think he is our franchise QB. Hes a tough, talented kid that needs others around him to play well. In two years, he will be on a different level, but right now, his teammates cannot let him down the way BM did last night.

 

I just want to say that Channing Crowder absolutely ANNIHILATES the FB on the first play by TB.

 

That's right, last season we played pretty much the same game against the Jags, massive downpour, 12-9 game.

The game that really sent up warning flags was gm #3 vs the Bucs, we were coming off of a 27-17 win vs the Panthers and the team just fell flat on it's face vs the Bucs.

Check out that game..

 

I blame it on the "curse of the Marlins" in the 1st quarter.

Honestly,I think that after the rain started to come down like it did,Sparano or Henning changed up to a very vanilla offense as to not get anyone hurt.I do believe this. There was not one play with Henne on the field that would indicate to me that we were actually scouting certain Buc players to go after.
It looked more like an evaluation for film purposes to see where we are at.
What else were they to do? They looked like sticks in the mud for a reason.

 

It was one quarter of the first preseason game. Its too early to give up on the team and everyone associated with it.

 

Jus' turrble man. I saw that too.
