enough for me to notice it, which is way more than it should

11/19/2009 8:36:12 PM

^yeah i guess...i just remember when we used to get mad when we'd run it on 3rd and 10

3rd down: henne throws a bad pass, miami will punt

we rarely throw 3 times in teh red zone,
i wish there was a commercial free channel, i'd pay for that

I'm a firm believer that once you get inside the 10 you should only run big sets (I-formation, couple of tight ends, etc.) This does two things

1. it allows you to run the ball with lots of help from blockers. Always helps when things are more crowded down near the goal line.

2. Out of this you can run some play action to fullbacks, running backs, tight ends, and the one or two receivers you have in the game. I don't like having 4 and 5 wides down near the goal line b/c I think it gives the QB too much to look at and read with not much room (unless Peyton Manning is your QB). Simplify it for the QB but still make it difficult for the defense to know where the ball is.

just my two cents

11/19/2009 8:42:42 PM

nice blocking, deangelo with the 8 yard run to the outside

jake with the 1st down pass to rosario

AP is about the only one but its not a landslide by any means

pass to Smith on a comeback route, 3rd and 2 i think

delhomme overthrows smith on a deep route, barely

punt goes out of bounds at the 14

throw away possession. if there ever is a good time to run on 3rd, 3rd and 1 is that time.

11/19/2009 8:47:52 PM

ive yet to see any proof that the score wouldnt be 14-0 if we were running at a 70:30 rate instead of passing 60:40

11/19/2009 8:48:14 PM

Henne with another bad 3rd down throw

nobody can throw the deep ball this game

11/19/2009 8:50:55 PM

stewart with a TUFF RUN

followed by a great D-Will run

[Edited on November 19, 2009 at 8:53 PM. Reason : .]

the vast majority of offensive coordinators have gotten way too cute. i really think so many of them have forgotten that two three yard runs and one four yard run gets you a first down

we have two horses in williams and stewart; give them the darn ball on third and one - i don't care if the defense knows it is coming. trust them to be better than the defense (they are most of the time)

11/19/2009 8:52:38 PM

hahaha they showed a clip of smith right before the commercial of his earlier 1st down celebration...he motioned like he was taking a bunch of bites off a thanksgiving turkey leg, then he gestured like he was breaking the bone over his knee LOL

11/19/2009 8:54:52 PM

listening to these Brits talk football is pretty hilarious

11/19/2009 8:55:27 PM

in general i dont have a problem with passing. going deep on 3rd and 1 can catch a cb sleeping sometimes

the problem is that the disparity between the panthers run and pass game is only challenged by the colts (for them, their run game sucks and obv peyton is beast), so we really shouldnt be passing any more than to keep defenses honest and stop steve smith from flipping out

11/19/2009 8:56:02 PM

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE with the 15 yard gain

11/19/2009 8:56:20 PM

^i don't mind passing either

i think too many coordinators have fallen in love with it though

11/19/2009 8:57:19 PM

we're gonna lose the shit out of this challenge

11/19/2009 8:58:49 PM

we lost the shit outta that challenge

11/19/2009 9:00:59 PM

11/19/2009 9:05:15 PM

does matt millen work for nbc, espn, and nfl network?

11/19/2009 9:05:54 PM

ANOTHER bad throw on 3rd down for henne

3 and out, gg defense

punt to the 27

still 3 nothing good guys, 11:54 in the half

[Edited on November 19, 2009 at 9:07 PM. Reason : .]

0 wildcat plays so far

I think losing Ronnie Brown hurt Miami a lot more than they and the media want to admit.

"Great job by Bernardo"

I realize he doesn't play much, but you'd think with Gross being out, people would know their backup after it being said all week on ESPN. Especially if your job is a commentator.

11/19/2009 9:13:19 PM

'Nard dog has looking pretty good so far

He just made a real good block for D-lo on that run

11/19/2009 9:15:07 PM

3.667 yards per pass play
5.28 yards per carry

thats so backwards, but it's expected out of the 09 panthers

[Edited on November 19, 2009 at 9:16 PM. Reason : actually the pass yards are probably closer to 2 since i counted the sacks as 0]

11/19/2009 9:16:04 PM

according to the announcers, the dolphins have an o-lineman named jake degrove

holding, BRING IT ON BACK

god dammit

first time i've been mad all game

they get a 3rd and 14 draw play converted???

not capitalizing on our offensive possessions put us in this position

11/19/2009 9:24:55 PM

this game should be 21-7

11/19/2009 9:26:47 PM

^^by that logic it should be 21-21 if miami had run draw plays on all their 3rd downs

11/19/2009 9:27:27 PM

diggs tackling. panthers recievers hands. baker's punt

11/19/2009 9:32:07 PM

3 sacks on third and long, when will we learn

11/19/2009 9:35:53 PM

if they review this, they'll determine that williams' arm hit the ground out of bounds before his 2nd foot hit the endzone

11/19/2009 9:37:54 PM

just saw a guy throw up literally 8 feet in the air......perfect arc and every thing

11/19/2009 9:38:13 PM

lol, remember when the scapegoat for the offense sucking was den henning?

11/19/2009 9:39:21 PM

I was not aware until just now that Dan Henning is their o-coordinator.

11/19/2009 9:39:47 PM

remember when we had our best offense in franchise history, last year under jeff davidson?

11/19/2009 9:40:05 PM

thats great we are screwed we will completely abandon the run get ready for lots of bad Jake

11/19/2009 9:42:08 PM

prepare to be amazed...we are actually going to try and score this half instead of downing it

11/19/2009 9:42:50 PM

epic fail by the safety on 1st down

11/19/2009 9:44:12 PM

boooooooooooooooooooooooo

11/19/2009 9:45:34 PM

Jake cannot handle pressure at all.

Even if he gets away from the sack, he's so flustered by being pressured he can't recover and complete a pass.

11/19/2009 9:45:49 PM

So I see now why Bob Papa is stuck on the NFL Network and not on one of the broadcast networks he is god awful.
