Miami Dolphins @ New Orleans Saints Thread

This team is way better than last year. Need to stay on track with no more turnovers for game and few flags and they will be able to give them game.

D really looks good, other than containing Sporles.

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Yes far from out of it but they sure aren't making it easy on themselves. Need to keep running the ball too.

 

[psaboy]

plus, that 4th down and inches play call was not the best. Plus, Wallace is not making catches.

 

[psaboy]

Sproles = lose

First time I've thought (since the Super Bowl) that this team looks as good as that team was..

Geaux Saints!

They're just not on and you have to be on the road in a tough place.

Dangerous for sure but I saw this coming the Fins are still young and dumb. Not ready for the lights.

 

[psaboy]

Fins have another year or two to go. They are still learning how to win on regular basis

 

[psaboy]

Wallace drops another ball, think he was an "over spend" by fins

Yep need to fix that oline

 

[psaboy]

Too bad, game would be a possible win if Tannie didn't have the two turnovers that allowed 14 points.

Learning process I hope?

Bad call on third and inches then the turnovers after. Too much on the road against a good team. If they would have kept it simple and ran the ball a little more they're in this game. Either way saints are a better team right now. Long season need to get ready for ravens very important game.

Maybe now, especially against high-powered offenses - Philbin will want to take the ball when and if they win the toss to try and get the offense going. I do agree that on the third and inches play we had a bad, weak play call which I was actually expecting because we have seen that a lot from the fins already.

I know we were missing key guys on defense and not everyone was fully healthy, but we were inefficient on offense and that cost us in this game... Even with Wake we have lacked the ability to bring pressure, so I wont put our loss yesterday and the lack of pass rush on his absence.

Last night, execution was bad, but I think we can agree that the play calling, at least on certain occassions was horrible -That doesnt help.

Yea the play calling and execution of the players was terrible... But we lost this game on opening kick off. YUou cant defer the kick and let Drew Brees set the pace for the game at home.

Our O-line looks, simply, put, terrible. Our LBs couldnt cover Graham or anyone in the middle. They always seemed out of place. Our DBs were in terrible position the whole game and couldnt cover. Our WRs, mainly Wallace couldnt catch anything. The only thing that looked good was Lamar Miller and we stopped running it, and our D line looked ok at times. We have alot of work to do before Ray Rice and the defending champs come to visit.

Would you get off the deferring the kick off shit as to why Miami lost the game? Geez. This game was lost on turnovers and New Orleans exploiting match ups in their favor. 1 lost fumble (drive killer) and 3 interceptions (the one before halftime was killer). That is how the game was lost period.

Tough loss to a quality team. That said, there are a lot of things that the Fins can learn from this game. When it is 4th and inches, Tannehill needs to make that play himself like Brady does. Sproles & Graham are tough matchups for any defense. Minimizing turnovers could help against a prolific offense like the Saints. On a positive note: The team is 3-1 with a chance to be 4-1 going into the bye week. Even with a very tough schedule the Fins are having a very good year so far.
