Just plain ugly

Yes, it seemed like the D was good if they were able to pitch a 3 and out, but once they started converting a couple of 3rd downs, things started to break down.

The secondary is still a concern. They were pickin' on Smoot something fierce. Why was he starting ahead of Springs?

And Carlos Rogers still looks like a fifth round pick, not a #9 overall.

I agree. 2 years and it still seems like this kid can't get it together.

Whoa whoa, Cooley wasn't shut down.. He had to stay in and help Ts block Taylor most of time..


If it was one player the Dolphins D keyed in on, it was Cooley. Yes, he was in for some blocking assignments, but he was in pass patterns too.

I'd say that when you hold a player like Cooley to one catch for 10 yards, you did a pretty good job shutting him down.

I told you guys you were over-rating our offense. Randle El looked great though.

Depends on who you're talking about. This offense still looks a lot better than last years offense!

You said it about Randel El. What a shocker! I did not expect that! He even almost caught a ball thrown FAR behind him at the end of regulation.

Thank God we moved Lloyd to #3

Are we calling him a bust yet? Or does he have to give up some more INTs?

I don't know about the rest of you guys...but I had to listen to the CBS announcers and Deirdorf and Gumble sounded like they were ready to climb out of the booth, walk down to the field, and start sucking Cam Cameron's d*ck...

They way they talked about him, you would have thought he was the second coming of Bill Walsh....

I'm glad we got the win...but we definately need to improve a little on defense...they lit us up underneath with those 5 - 10 yard passes...

I found that interesting too.

Well, Smoot looked horrible IMO. He made poor decisions all day, and could have made up for it with that easy pick, but nope.

The fact that they didn't throw it to his side very often means he had good coverage. So I disagree with you here. I thought he did fine.

While I did think that was ugly when he gave up the INT, it wasn't like it was a nicely thrown ball.
He was thrown at what? 2 times?
Hard to make that kind of call don't you think?

Well, they were throwing to Smoot because it was working out so well.

The play that stands out was the long pass play towards the end that allowed Miami to tie the game at 13. I know he's not going to shut anybody down. But he still seems to fall apart at all the wrong times -- again, not what I anticipate for a player selected so high in the draft.

He did play better than Smoot though, no question.

We were dominant, just didn't get the ball in the endzone. That will change with time. THe MNF game will be obviosuly a good one. GB is tougher than folks thought or Philly isn't as good.

So far, not much different from a typical 2006 game




One big difference- they went vertical with the passing game far more often. While it didn't work out all the time, they were at least stretching the field more often.
