We finally get in the endzone.  Game's over though.  Someone get me a scotch on the rocks, a bloody big one.

Not too little too late for my fantasy team

[TonyB0D]

This made me laugh.  Your football IQ seems to be in the toilet there.   

he is, you're the one who doesn't know what they're talking about.  he is an innovator (brought the wildcat here), and has a great balance of play calling.  it's not his fault we don't have the personel necessary to be a good football team.

he is an innovator (brought the wildcat here)

Quarterbacks coach David Lee deserves the majority of credit there.

And Henning's play-calling deep in opponent territory has been... lacking.

[StL FinFan]

I am saying Henne sucks to everyone who wanted him in as the starter going back to last season.  He is clearly not ready.

[YoFuggedaboutit]

he is, you're the one who doesn't know what they're talking about.  

Wrong.  I know very well what I'm talking about.  

he is an innovator (brought the wildcat here),

Wrong again.  QB coach David Lee is the one who brought it here.  Henning just incorporated it into the offense.  

and has a great balance of play calling.

Wrong again.  All I see are runs and checkdown passes.  Very little if any shots taken down the field.  

it's not his fault we don't have the personel necessary to be a good football team.

It is his fault that he's not playing to his QB's strengths.  Henne's got a rifle arm.  Use it.

[dolfan13]

a riffle arm is no good if you are not accurate. understandably, henne looked very uncomfortable out there. hopefully he can get get comfortable pretty soon if pennington is out for any extended period of time.

[YoFuggedaboutit]

if pennington is out for any extended period of time.

This is where we could use 619's news media reporting skills.  If Pennington's gonna be out for a while, he'll know it well before it becomes breaking news.

[dolphins4life]

anyway, 0-3 here we are.  I'm going to get dinner.  See you in the forums later tonight

[stealth3ltt]

why oh why does this team try harder to lose than they do to win.  penny throws one bomb on the first drive of the game and because he overthrew his receiver,  they never go to it again.  either qb only seems competant at throwing to checkdown guys.  no quick slants,  no screen plays.  how can it be so hard to make a 15 yrd or more completion once in a game??    i hope penny is back next week.   to all you Henne lovers,  a second yr qb should be better than this.   where are the receivers?  and what is wrong with this defense,  the pass defense looks lost out there. 

[Tenshot13]

I don't blame Henne at all.  They kept the training wheels on him too long and he ended up making a bad pass for a pick six.  The guy never had a chance.  If Penny is out next week, I won't make an assessment on Henne until he plays a whole game.

[zypr]

HEY Sparano... Marvin Harrison was cut by the colts.... maybe he could teach Ginn how to play the position. (Before anyone tried to smack me with Ginn's 11 catches last week... don't.) He had a good game last week, but still does not know how to "play the position".   I say get rid of Ginn and drag Jerry Rice out of retirement!lol  I am a Die Hard fan and the phins are KILLING ME! Attention Jack Daniels distillery... double your output, I'll be needing plenty more.

[zypr]

Henne has a great arm, but he needs receivers that can catch the ball. I will be interested to see if he plays next week what his timing will be like after a week of practicing with the first team offense.

[zypr]

Thank you to everyone for letting me "vent". I am good until next week. Hopefully I won't have to vent next week. lol Have a great week.

A whole game?  You can't be serious.  I didn't want him when we drafted him but I say give him plenty of time. He hasn't played in almost two years and has less than 2 quarters at NFL speed.  If you people are looking for lightning in a bottle you may never have another good young QB ever.
