    What a horrible, horrible game by what should have been the biggest game by the best player on the team.

    Thigpen gets so much blame with little reps. He needed the players around him to step it up.

    This was the type of game that Miami paid Marshall the big bucks for. Not only did he not play well, he actually played horribly. He dropped passes and then he got stupid penalties.

    Blame Thigpen all you want, however this was the game that Marshall should have earned his money.

    Marshall quit on his team tonight. He just plain quit. That diva is coming out. I told you guys we should have ran the other way when Denver approached us for a deal.

    I cant fault the team for taking the chance on Marshall. We desperately need a playmaker. He knows that and uses it as leverage to do whatever he wants. But clearly some discipline needs to be assessed. One time, you get a slap on the wrist and dont do it again. Second time, you have a problem and letting emotions interfere with your work. I hope they dont tolerate this kind of behavior. That isnt what I want to see from my team.

    I think Brandon marshall really does believe in Chad Henne. I doubt Henne kept him in check mentally or anything but Marshalls antics didnt start until after we benched henne.

    and on the opposite end of the spectrum, marshall probably thinks Thigpen is a joke. And lets face it, he sure looked like one.

    He played poorly... but when he went out with the injury, you knew we had no chance at coming back... him and Henne should get acquainted in rehab...

    I wish we could get back the two second round picks we gave up for Marshall. All he does is drop passes. It looks like he is totally un-interested in playing. At least Hartline and Bess aren't faking it.

    hes 5th in the league in receptions, so clearly he does a little more than drop passes.

    Also, he hurt himself doing a ridiculous spin move in an effort to make a play and gain just a few more yards.

    Diva? Yeah, he is. But he certainly doesn't give up on plays or stop trying like Moss or anything.

    Then the FO was really stupid for trading for him.

    A great wide receiver would have taken that up as a challenge.

    Wins bring stability throughout, like all the great receivers in the game today, if they arent winning and catching TD's they arent happy. TO, Ochocinco, moss, etc etc The guy is playing on a BS team right now and he is starting to show how displeased he is. Is he acting like a *****? YES... IS he losing us games no... He is the playmaker we need and we need to find a way to get the man the dam ball. 10 catches for 166 yards and a td against the Jets week 3. Jets Defense is pretty good, 5 catches 57 yards not bad against the dam steelers... He needs the dam ball, the offense needs to move the ball we got 3 exceptional receivers no need to check down every f*cking play. Wheter its checkdown chad or henne or thigpen. This offense is ****e! I would be angry too.

    For the record im pissed he quit tonight too though.

    i think he gave up on the idea that we could win. But really, if he wasnt trying, he wouldnt have gotten hurt. A guy not trying doesnt catch an inside slant and fight for more yards. A guy not trying just drops it and says **** it. He didn't do that.

    If we desperately needed a playmaker we would have drafted Dez Bryant but nooooooo.

    I do not think what you said made any sense.

    For Miami to win they needed their big stars to step it up. Marshall is their number one big star. He did not step it up. Even though he was injured at the end of the first half, his play up to then was not worth 2 second round picks or the money they paid him.

    There was no excuse for him to flip the ball at Cutler. I thought Marshall had matured but he is still a punk.

    And thigpens performance wasn't worth the 5th we traded for him. Fumbling a hand off, not getting the ball out to open guys, Getting sacked instead of throwing it away. We could have drafted a 5th rounder who'd have done better than that tonight.

    Marshall is a diva wr, he plays as good as his Qb. He definitely did not play well tonight but Thigpen being a terrible QB probably ruined his psyche entirely.

    He's dropping way too many passes. Easy catches they are too.

    He played like crap tonight with the drops. However, the toss to Cutler didn't deserve a flag. It was obvious they were messing with each other. Even after the game they were chatting it up. Cutler and Marshall are competitive. They talk a little smack to each other. They do have a history.

    I don't think Marshall quit. I think he needs to get focused. However, this is the 4th QB he's been catching passes from in 3 years. It takes time for WR's to get used to not only the QB throwing them the ball, but the offense they are in. This was only his 10th game with 3 different QB's and a new offense. That's got to count for something.

    eh good points. The toss to cutler though with the flag he got on sunday makes me think he's starting to act out more then anything though.

    He's acting like a probowl receiver in an anemic offense. Hes about to blow up, 2 or 3 more weeks of this bs playcalling and i guarantee he'll have some nice stuff to say in a press conference which will lead to us releasing him putting us back 3 or 4 years or they'll fire the OC and maybe we'll make the playoffs next year.

    im in no way giving him a pass. but we traded for a playmaker, a guy whose capable of changing a game in one play. We didnt trade for a constant professional like Hines Ward or Dieon Branch.

    He is what he is.

    I do not agree. Thigpen played as well as a 3rd QB with less than a week to prepare for a game with a line where the only guy who wasn't injured was Ingonito, who has sucked.

    If what you said was true then Miami made a huge mistake in trading and paying Marshall.

    time will tell. No one really knows about that.

    But you're wrong about Thigpen. He may be a 3rd qb but this was his 12th nfl start and there was almost no glimpses that he's ever taken a snap in a big game before.

    Agreed DD, Rotten Richie had a guy lined up on a screen to Ronnie Brown, had a running start, and literally, bounced off the guy, as in basically ran up to him and stood there.

    So if we have a team that when healthy has a pass oriented OL, three WR options, and a good if slow TE, can we finally finally finally admit we're a passing team? PLEASE....

    ****. This charade of being a running team is over. Ricky is almost done, Ronnie is done. We have no one worth much as far as running the ball after that. At least we have a defense for now. There's hope though, I think next year we can become one of the best passing teams in the league if Henne improves just a bit even and the coaching staff changes. Perhaps use the 2003-2004 Patriots as an example. We might not have Brady, but we can have a better offensive line and somewhat better running game.
