Game Thread: Miami Dolphins- Indianapolis Colts Week 16 Game Thread

[Paolo305613]

Officially eliminated a few weeks ago and absolutely quit against the Chargers and Campbell looked lifeless again on the sidelines - the point the rest of the way was to play for pride , and for themselves if not each other - but once the Fins got down again Campbell obviously couldn't coach - he gave up on the running game, essentially giving up on the game - the rest of the team followed. Lets see what the so called tough guy motivator can muster up in the final two games.

I still have faith in some players on the team playing with a little more hustle.

Here is Miami’s full list of inactives:

• C Mike Pouncey
  
  
• QB Logan Thomas
  
  
• WR Rishard Matthews
  
  
• CB Jamar Taylor
  
  
• OL Shelley Smith
  
  
• RT Ja’Wuan James
  
  
• DT Earl Mitchell

Fins can play spoiler against the Colts. If the Fins win, Colts are eliminated from AFC south and playoff contention -- The Fins are at least good at playing spoiler

Miami wins toss, naturally -- differs

No blocking for Tannehill as usual but somehow he will be blamed for that safety - then constant penalties on the defensive side to make it easy for the Colts - soon enough they will easily start burning Grimes.

This is what you get when you refuse to take the ball when you win the toss - you refuse to even give yourself a chance to set the tone - this is what you get.

8-6 after a failed 2 point attempt - dumbass Campbell wannabe tough guy instead of the XP

That giving , soft Dolphins defense allows another easy rushing TD with absolutely no resistance at all

On the plus side, since the Dolphins decided to differ the option to receive at the start of the game - they will get the ball to start the second half and only down just 9 - thanks to the Colts deciding to not move the ball - otherwise they would have probably scored to increase the lead - the downside -- Joe Philbin isn't walking through the Dolphins locker-room door at half time to give us life as he usually did in third quarter of games

 

[Paolo305613]

Whitehurst in the rest of the way for the Colts it seems - thats a chance for us and our defense to get a pulse back

 

[Paolo305613]

Offensive P.I of course

 

[Paolo305613]

Good decision here to take the points. Wannabe tough guy Campbell has failed to get us to execute when going for the first down in these cases

 

[Paolo305613]

As always, Tannehill will get the blame for this loss but again we lacked a running game - and only Parker and Landry showed up to help Tannehill - The offensive line was outplayed the entire day not giving Tannehill any protection. The defense was missing tackles, committing penalties -- a few times negating big plays/turnovers.

And, as has often been the case post-Philbin, more bad clock management and timeout management by the so called motivator tough guy Dan Campbell.
