Fins vs. Jets Recap

[Fins4ever]

Well, that sucked!

Just finished watching the game and here is my initial observations.

1. Sherman's play calling is conservative and predictable. Only at desperate times did we see any creativity.

2. RT has longer to go than I had hoped. Made poor decisions and lacked accuracy. For being so athletic, did not see a single run.

3. Run D is awesome.

4. I hate the icing time out. For me, it is like a practice snap.

5. The secondary is one of the worst in the league.

6. Armstrong is a douche. Cut him now. Get rid of Naanee too.

7. Sadly, maybe Carp should be replaced. 

8. The pass rush has digressed.

Not sure what game you watched. Tannehill with no help and with NO BUSH played well. The pick 6 was his only real mistake. He has no WR's that are any good. To say he has a long way to go is just unfair and 100% false. Miami was 10 or 19 on 3rd down today. Tannehill had a lot to do with that. That is a very good 3rd down % in this league.

And the defense played well. This constant attacking of the secondary is getting old. They did have 2 INT's today. Which team has a great secondary that constantly stops people? The Jets only were 6-17 on 3rd down. That is good defense and secondary play! You aren't going to get perfection. Are the outstanding and super great, no. But who is.

Poor coaching and missed field goals. Don't read anything else into this. That's why they lost

Don't forget about the fake punt that started everything for the Jets

We have no receivers, our best offensive weapon only plays one half and 2 missed field goals lose the game for us. Overall we didn't do too bad.

I hate always doing this but Fasano should have been coming back for that ball imo.  Third game for Tannehill and I think he doing better than I would have expected.  Definitely not playing too bad for a rookie.

Tanny forced the ball and was lucky he didn't have 3 picks. I like him, just reporting what I saw.. When he did find an open guy, his lack of accuracy kept any YAC. I also thought he should have tucked and run a couple of times. Looked very indecisive. I am not saying he sucks or anything, just that his learning curve is bigger than I expected (hoping for), esp. considering this is basically the3 same system he played in college.

On the flip, the O line played better than expected. I think Jerry grew up today.  

Yeah, the secondary criticism is getting old for me too, esp. watching it happen. Only one big play, but they gave up 3rd and long time after time. What was NY.'s 3rd down %?

Regardless, tough loss...just part of maturing. As for Bush going out, hope it is not serious and anytime you depend on one guy, it will eventually bite ya. Thought Miller did a great job.

But he didn't. Let's live in REALITY and not the "coulda woulda shoulda".

Great point. Since when did Tebow play on punt plays and not get the ball. Fins were totally unprepared. Coaching or did the players fall asleep.

6 for 17. They were bad. Miami's defense was good on 3rd down overall

Also, with the coaching staff, if you are going to run the clock out at the end of the first half, do it with your backup running back.

Yep! Or just take 3 knees. The Jets with only 2 timeouts couldn't have forced us to punt

Every time this year but once.

Tebow is their upback on ALL punts

[Fins4ever]

Tebow is their upback on ALL punts

Now we know why. lol

[dolphins4life]

You're supposed to be watching for a fake on ALL punts

The play calling was a bit conservative, but look how many times we were stuck inside our own 10 yard line. 

The only thing that pisses me off is that Tannehill threw that pick for a TD.  If you take that play away, the game never goes into overtime in the first play.  They talk about living with rookie mistakes, this was one of them.

We had way too many recievers drop passes cough cough Armstrong

Daniel Thomas is a fumble machine.  That really pisses me off.

Santonio Holmes made the secondary look like shit again, thank god Dustin Keller wasn't playing.
