I honestly don't think I can take him throwing away nice drives any more.

I had his picture in my avatar with a big red X over his face after the Cardinals game last season.
Overall he's a horrendous OC who replies on gadget plays for everything. Unfortunately, he's a Parcells guy. -
He gets cute when he has NO reason to get cute, if we lose this game it will be because of that stupid stupid call. And I know it was early in the game but just like in San Diego when Ronnie fumbled on the one yard line it changes the complexion of the game and gives the other team new life.

I'll second that motion. He has made questionable calls for two seasons now and his play calling today just got us eliminated from the playoffs

Henning set the tone for this game early. It was about as bad a call as I have ever seen. I could not think of any reason that call would even come to mind in that situation. It would be a bad call EVEN if Ricky throws a TD. NO REASON for the ball in the air...NONE..You took all the momentum and threw it away and they never got it back

Awful 4th quarter defense the whole season combined with Henning's play call and Nate Garner's false start took 10 points off the board today. I fear the cupboard is too bare for any kind of run the rest of the way boys. Stranger things have happened but 5 wins in a row with this coaching staff is impossible - and yes, even Sparano's lost some of his shine in my book.

Some badly timed gadget plays today. Trickery is great when you are a bad team playing a brtter opponent, but as we have improved, we should have ONLY used tirckery when down, not while dominating a team easily out of our base offense.
Henning called a poor game. sorry, Dan. -
That was a dumb call
Rick was killing them down the field
Stupid call

I just hate knowing every time we line up in the wildcat that it will be effective 50% of the time against bad defenses, and 0% of the time against good defenses. And Henning will call a head scratcher out of it at least 20% of the time. -
That play call with Ricky throwing the ball...had me in heart attack mode the rest of the game. I lost it!. I just could not believe it even hours after it happened!

Should have seen more Hilliard in the first half
We were counting carries and it got behind us
We should have saved Ricky for the fourth QTR -

Sparano can override anything I would think?

Henning needs to be shot for calling that. Draft read it all the way.
Ricky hasn't completed a pass since 2000
Run the ball -

Yes, the INT was as stupid as everyone says. And yes, it's on Henne/Sparano, not Ricky -- you put the ball in an RB's hands at the goal line and tell him to throw, you're asking for it.
That said, people are getting carried away bashing it. "Change the tone"? I'm sorry, the Phins have lots of highly paid professionals. You don't play a crappy game because of a single stupid call in the first quarter.
The other call I really didn't like was the bomb to Ginn on first down from our two in the 4th quarter. But I assume that was on Henne.
Also, lest anyone forget, we use gimmicks because we're short on talent. We've lost our starting QB and RB and our OL is a casualty ward. Yeah, we were blowing them off the ball in the first quarter, but after that we were spotty running the ball. Ricky looked completely gassed at times during the long drive in the third quarter. Lest I be misunderstood, NONE OF THIS EXCUSES THE STUPID CALL FOR RW TO THROW ON THAT FIRST DRIVE. But we use gimmicks for a reason.
Oh, and Ted Ginn sucks. -
I did see Sparano with the play chart in his hands a lot in the second half, not something he normally does if I remember correctly. Has he lost faith like the rest of us? -
The D could not have looked worse on the Buffalo drive that followed our third-quarter drive. What was especially maddening was that they played like they were exhausted, constantly getting beaten to the corner, even though they'd just had halftime + the first nine minutes of the third quarter off.djphinfan likes this. -

We blew 2 leads after that.
