This IS the official Miami Dolphins Week 1 Game Day Thread !!!

I love Starks but that will not sit well with anyone on the Dolphins staff

 

hopefully, as was said by someone else, he was just ****ing around. He won't see the field if he keeps that up though. He's got to actually play if he wants big money. Miami has a say in that.

 

seriously???

 

I'm pretty sure his is serious, and I am pretty sure that most people would agree with him.

We should be asking you that same question.

 

I blame David Canter.

 

Wins a win. Yeah I'm glad we played browns but old phins we fall and lose. We came back 2nd half and took that game

 

I agree. All teams from '09-'12 would have lost that game.

 

Yessur...and so many were worried, on the road, can't beat the Browns cuz they keep winning against us, Tannehill's crap on 3rd down, etc etc. I hope they're pleasantly surprised. Wasn't perfect, but a solid win overall against a good defense.

 

Glad too we played a team like the browns too were we can play bad and win. Big news is afc north or south, ravens division all lost! Could be big later on. Miami is 1-0 on the road. Lets go to Indy and go 2-0. Cleveland is better then people think

 

Dion Jordan is happy...http://landing.newsinc.com/shared/video.html?freewheel=91082&sitesection=dash&VID=25144496

 

Helmet to helmet

So who else was pissed about that helmet to helmet no-call early in the game??? Jackson def. hits tannehill and they pick up the flag. I have NEVER seen that flag get picked up just cause it wasn't intentional. I felt that was complete BS.

 

I rolled it back and watched it a few more times and definitely...if you watch it (besides from some lame stream) you'll notice he even tilts his head into it to hit him. Bull**** non-call.

 

i didn't even know there WAS wiggle room on that call. Thought it was straight forward. Helmet to helmet = penalty. Period!

 

There wasnt alot of contact there. The defender tried to let up, and I think thats why they picked up the flag. I dont think its right though. That's a penalty IMO. We've seen flags fly when a guys hand "accidentally" smacks off a QB's helmet.... this is a player who ran right at him, head up, helmet to helmet. Had he not let up who knows what would have happened. It's still a reckless play. It shoulda been a flag.

 

it should be handled the same way as running into the kicker. Doesn't matter if you made every effort not to. If you do it, its a penalty.

 

Thumbs up if you get the reference

 

21-10..now who saw that coming.

 

Lamar Miller fast and elusive, one cutter who makes plays.

Ten carries for 3 yards. I felt like I was watching John Avery.

 

I had it at 23-13...we were both pretty close there.

 

I am quite familiar with Mr Wu.

Actually, when I was typing the expletive I was thinking of the character O.W. Shaddock in North Dallas Forty, played by John Matuszak.

 

I did.

 

For as bad as we all thought we were this game, one in which we scored 23 points, we should be aware we only scored 23 or more 5 times last year. If we score close to 23 and it's a bad game, we should be fairly good in the games where our offense does click.

 

We sure gave the Browns a lot of second chances with penalties, and they shot themselves in the foot with a few (although a TON more should've been called). I'd say our passing game is on the up-swing...the rest of the O has issues though, ya. If they can click...wow...would be a very nice year.

 

oh absolutely. we completely wasted Pattersons first INT. That drive started around the browns 30 and all we did was lose 4 yards in 3 plays. That's exactly the situation we never had last year and we have to play better in that situation next time.

 

At some point, even the most block headed of fans has reality penetrate the miasma:

The pass, sets up the run, until Tannehill can effectively burn defenses who play run first, we will continue to struggle running the football.

This is why I chuckled over 'Bush is dancing at the los!"

Uhm, there is a reason, the Defense is simply crashing the running lanes as they have little fear of the pass scoring Td's.

Now how dumb do some of those commentariat members look for picking the Browns "B/c they have such and such Defensive Coordinator"?

 

B/t..Sick is now 1-0 as Dolphins Official Gameday thread starter.

 

Wasn't too far off! Got the two score part at least.

 

I really need Lamar Miller to step up. Damn wtf happened today. Please tell me it was Cleveland's run D.

 

Cleveland's D-line isn't crap. They dropped $75 million into it this off season.

And really with perspective.... They only outran us by 20 yards.

Cleveland will give fits to teams this year defensively.

 

We can always draft Duke Johnson after he wins himself a Heisman.

 

We gave the browns a shot to get back in and then took that shot away real quick and never looked back.

 

Mingo wouldn't have started anyway, and if he did, it would hurt their run defense. Rubin being replaced by Winn, at DE not DT, is not much of a drop off, if any, when it comes to run defense.

 

I won't lie, a backfield with Miller and Johnson would have me hard every week in anticipation. Those two just sliding through holes. It'd be porn.
