henne blew it

another fg when we should have had a touchdown.    

[Cathal]

Are you kidding me? On the 1 yard line and you can't get a TD? I know the logical thing is to take the FG, but they needed a TD right there.

[EDGECRUSHER]

Why call for a pass play on 3rd and Goal from the 1? Why not a run and then a run? You gotta play with some balls when you are the underdog on the road AND down in the game.

it was a great call... fasano was wide open, henne just has a tough time with those touch passes

[fyo]

henne telegraphed that int... you could see it coming from a mile away.

Wrong. Great throw on the comeback, but Hartline fell down. Can't put that one on the quarterback.

As for the throw to Fasano, that looked really weird. This wasn't a touch pass he drilled or anything. It was nearly 5 yards to the left of Fasano. Henne threw it almost straight down the middle while Fasano drifted right. Henne may have gotten spooked by the MLB, who dropped back (and would have had a great chance to at least tip the ball, had Henne thrown to where Fasano went), or they simply weren't on the same page (never a good thing).

Sad that we had yet another dropped INT on the drive where they got their touchdown.

Oh, and just to finish the off the first half impressions, I really think we got lucky on the no-safety call. From the replays, it clearly looked like the ball was out of the endzone. Not sure what "momentum" rules apply in that case (so it may not have been a safety anyway), but the refs said the ball never left the endzone.

I wanted to bitch about Vontae getting faked out a couple of times, but then half a dozen other defenders decided to get in on the action. Even Dansby, who's been a monster this year, cleaning up once the ball carrier gets by the D-line (so, basically every time).

the cornerback jumped the route, he saw it coming from a mile away.

hene has made some good throws, and has had some pretty good reads. that one, he locked into the receiver, and the corner jumped it. hartline falling down didn't really matter because the corner had already cut that route underneath

Baltimore tried to give us this game, but we didn't take it. Doesn't look good.

dolphins are picking a bad time to try and blitz

[MikeO]

With no tiebreakers over Balt, Pitt, Jets, and Pats.........its safe to say that at about 4pm on November 7th the Miami Dolphins 2010 season is OVER!!!

No, his head was upfield and didn't turn until after Hartline turned. As with all comebacks, it's designed for the receiver to shield the ball with his body. That's hard to do if you're on your KNEES like Hartline was.

[dolfan13]

at best if hartline doesn't fall, he makes the tackle on the corner that undercut the route.

[fyo]

Horrible start to the second half:

- Vontae looked like shit on the TD pass. He really is getting owned by Mason.
- The Ravens must've seen something they liked and kept throwing the ball to Ray Rice. Dolphins need to shadow him. Just can't let him run a route out of the backfield with NO coverage.

Watch it again. I just did. You are wrong. Even though Hartline is ON HIS KNEES, the defender barely gets by him.
