Honestly, after the celebration penalty and the horse collar on the kickoff, I thought for sure Miami was going to win.

 

I didnt see the game. Is ******o still fist pumping after fg's?

 

The thing that drove me the craziest that drive was subbing in Bush for Thomas deep in their end and running Bush up the middle to stall that drive. DT was running well getting four or five yards a clip. Just keep pounding the guy. Thats what he is there for. To pound the rock at the end of games to seal them. He was doing that well so of course we have to take him out, put in Bush and do something he is not good at. So not surprisingly a promising drive stalls and we have to settle for a FG.

Its like, hey running DT is working for us. Lets not do that anymore and do something we arent good at. Sooooo frustrating and stupid

 

All the more reason for us to blow it. :lol:

 

I feared it, didn't know it and it happened.

 

He actually celebrated more than the Browns did after taking the 1 point lead.

 

Yep, after the horse collar I was thinking "Cleveland will f this up because they're Cleveland." Other way around.

 

I have to say that has to be a brutal loss for you Miami fans. Those kind of losses just beat you down and suck the life out of you. I know from plenty of first hand experience.

 

I actually had a premonition after kicking the 3rd FG putting us up 16-10. I just saw it coming that Cleveland was going to go into a 2 minute offense and drive down the length of the field, score a touchdown, then leave us mere seconds left on the clock to at least try and get into FG range for Carpenter to try and save the day with yet...ANOTHER field goal.

Guess Carpenter didn't get that chance, huh? :pity:

 

Going into the game, I thought that this was one of three or four games the Dolphins MIGHT win this year. Because the only other teams I see on their schedule which they might have equal talent to are the Chiefs and the Broncos. I figured the Dolphins were probably a LITTLE better than the Browns and when Hillis didn't play, this appeared to make it that much easier for the Dolphins.

Of course nothing is easy for this group of misfits. They seem to always figure a way to take defeat from the jaws of victory. The same inability to protect the passer, along with crucial penalties throughout the game. One thing they have shown consistently over the last two seasons, along with the first three games this season is that when an offensive drive or a defensive stand is needed at the end of the game to pull out a victory. This team doesn't have a clue how to close out a game.

So no, even though I thought the Dolphins should win the game. It doesn't surprise me in the least that they again found a way to lose to one of the worse teams in the NFL.

 

If I recall correctly, two straight games with missed FG's......FG's he should have made.......

 

I will be very surprised if this team can put together more than three wins this whole season. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see us go 1-15.

 

I knew it immediately after the FG, and I said aloud Browns are gonna get a TD.

 

Honestly, not really. At least not for me. Call it apathy, call it not being a real fan, or however people are spinning it around here nowadays. You can't help the ones you love, and I love the Miami Dolphins, but I just don't care anymore. It's like a failed marriage, but I've already invested 21 years into it so it's pretty much too late to turn back. When you get hurt time after time after time the same way...you stop letting it hurt you.

 

I am sorry but this makes me laugh. Only because this is how it feels to be a Dolphin fan.

I am getting 2007 flashbacks. This fanbase is so used to it... sorry but it makes me laugh just because of how sad we are. <3 our Dolphins though.

 

Winners do the things necessary to win, while losers have nothing but excuses. The FG he missed today was from 51 yards. That distance is no gimme and the fact is that all the Dolphins had to do today to win the game was for the defense to stop McCoy and the Browns offense on their last drive. Once the Browns scored, all the offense and Henne needed to do was gain about 15 yards to get Carpenter into FG range. Neither the 11 players on offense or the 11 on defense made the plays in the fourth quarter to win the game. The team lost this game, not the field goal kicker.

 

It was 13-10 and I looked at my roomate and I said "We're going to settle for 3, and Cleveland will score a TD, and we'll lose 17-16." I'm a ****ing prophet. Only problem is my talent extends to predicting Dolphin **** ups.

 

I can't argue with that. Neither side of the ball could come up with anything to win the game.

 

Carpenter needs to be replaced, He was money the past couple of years but the curse has finally caught up with him too!!!

 

Pretty much. Called it in the chat room of the other board. I'm not even mad... Play not to lose, you deserve to lose.
