***The Official Miami Dolphins vs Oakland Raiders Gameday Thread***

The offensive line looks solid so far

 

Williams has been somewhat impressive tonight so far.

Drake and Williams in the receiving game, light years ahead of Ajayi in that regard.

 

Horrible clock management

 

go for it. show some balls. 4th and 2 agtainst a terrible defense.

 

Gase playing for field goals....genius

 

Bushrod is terrible.

 

Thanks, Al Michaels: "Cutler has been perfect...."

 

i hate that FG attempt even knowing that he made it.

 

well at least Parky made up for the missed PAT

 

beyond the locker room disruption, you can see we are just gonna use the short passing game to RB's in lieu of running the ball because of our lack of run blocking and Ajayi was useless in that area.

 

For those interested, Cutler is 16/17, 146 yards, 1 TD and a QBR of 125.52 thus far

 

The only pass Cutler doesn't jump and throw gets blocked....WTF

 

Sparano Fist pump.

 

I think they're going to score again before halftime...

 

we deserve for them to come right back down in 30 seconds and kick a fg right back at us.

 

Would be interested the stats on kick off returns, seems like it's generally pointless to return it unless you have to. Just take the 25.

 

especially us.

 

Catch it with your hands, not your face Alonso.

 

who the **** is maurice smith?

 

lol of course.

 

KIKO ALONSO. holy **** how can one person be considered good and be this consistently terrible for 3 straight god damn years.

 

Can someone, ANYONE, cover Jared Cook??

 

It's crap like this that drives me crazy.

 

Just ridiculous we gave up another 3 with only 30 seconds or so on the clock. Terrible.

 

Lol. Just plain coward football. Glad we kicked that FG though.

 

Cool...give the 3 points back because we can't cover tight ends

 

Jesus. So, can our offense and defense have a good game together at some point this season??

 

That missed extra point is gonna end up biting us in the *** at some point.

 

They're mostly playing well but still manage to screw things up at the worst moments and frustrate us fans like always. I think they're just incapable of taking any type of "big" lead. On the verge of an actual two score lead after the ballsy onside kick, and that momentum is completely killed and they're losing shortly after the fumble. Also frustrating, the missed XP. Even 1 point is huge for this offensively challenged team.

 

Offense actually looks half competent out there. Defense not so much...

 

Only down by 4 and not 20 at the half. Some improvement i guess. I'm still not seeing those running holes Jay was missing though.

 

Also, can Cutler hurry the ****ing offense up? Our offense is so ****ing slow and deliberate it is like watching paint dry as far as the pace not even beginning to mention its lack of effectiveness. Snaps the ball with the play clock at 1 literally every single time.

 

The missed extra point and the fumble by Drake are the difference in the game so far. I hope the offense comes out in the second half and finishes a few drives.

 

Ajayi is sort of boom or bust, IMO. He'll have a couple of huge runs and a few that he'll get negative yardage. We haven't had many positive runs this game but I don't think we had many negative runs.

Gase I think is looking for more consistency at the position in that sense. Someone who'll constantly get 3-4 yard runs, while isn't great, is better than a guy who'll have a 20 yard run then multiple negative runs. I'm liking the versatility of the RB's catching out of the backfield also, which we've missed a bit with Ajayi in there.

 

It’s not over yet, dolphins are a 2nd half team.

 

If guys knew their assignments and Cutler didn't have to tell them where to line up, then yes.

 

how is it possible we have a holding on any running play over 2 yards?

 

Great start

 

F*** this o-line

 

Larsen and Mcdonald cant come back soon enough.
