Around SBN: Tiger Woods Makes His 2012 PGA Tour Debut

Why Miami lost

OK so why did Miami fail in week 6. In my sincere opinion it was because Sparano played it safe. We are not good enough to play the game safe, we need to be aggressive like we had been. 4th and an inch if that at mid field and we punt into the end zone? Again this team is not good enough to just sit back and win games, they need to go out and make some gutsy calls and take the games. This style of play reminded me of the old DW days… Not interested

A symptom...Special Teams

why the hell is Brandon Fields (#2) in the middle of a punt return defense rather than as the last chance to trip the returner or shove them out of bounds?

From ESPN’s site…4th and 15 at MIA 26 (5:41) B.Fields punts 44 yards to HST 30, Center-J.Denney. J.Jones for 70 yards, TOUCHDOWN. (Punt hang time 3.7 seconds.)

Watch the replay…and there’s Fields falling flat on his face mask…and tripping one of the athletes pursuing Jacoby Jones (admitttedly from behind) in the middle of the field some 20 yards ahead of where he punted from.

I love players wanting to make plays…whoever they are…but that play showed how much this team and phase of our game needs to grow up. Obviously there was a major overall breakdown in coverage/contain. But that image of the punter face planted between the numbers some 40 yards before the returner scored…sucks.

Special Teams

Special Teams Where not Special yerstday. And I think on 3rd down we-went 2-10 or 3-10. That Will not get it done. also I think that Ronnie and Ricky Did not get enough Carries yerstday as well, They both need to get 15-18 if not more by Ronnie needs the Rock A-lot more. Touches A game. We, will get it fixed next week.

This sounded like...

last year, were it show that went we don’t run the ball the D stay more time on the field and get busted. We were winning 14-3 and then went for a pass happy O, were the 1-2-3 out came a lot. NOT GOOD!! RB HAS to have 20 + carries per game in order to be able to win.

I will see the Dolphins win a SUPER BOWL before i die(21 years and counting)

We lost...

Because Yeremiah Bell wanted to be the hero, and try and intercept the ball. All you have to do in that instance, is do what they have taught you since pee wee football, and just knock the damn thing down!!!!!! Plain and simple. We let them convert two crucial 4th down plays, and that sealed it for them. How the Hell did they not know that he was going to tun it up the gut on the goal line is beyond me. I was screaming at the TV that he was running. then when i saw Crowder move up to double eith the TE, or WR, that left the middle wide open, and it was an easy run from there. F$CK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now is the time- the time to rise up from the depths of Hell and stake our claim back on top of the AFC East...Look out Gaytriots here comes Jake Long and the Phins

yea i agree

who let dam white guy WR for texas get a 4th and 20? Hill drop 2 ints that easily hit his fingers in 2 games…plays decent but is a Dips$** sometimes!…goodman looks like a teenager 5’9 125plbs? man our secondary need a major overhaul ! thats why we lost…

Have to Agree...

I have to agree with Boston Boy…..4th and an inch (maybe1/2 inch)…That’s crap!
  We should have more than enough confidence to gain that. We ARE NOT good enough or confident enough to sit back and play that conservative…it came back to bite us in the ass. We could have used Keith Davis on that punt return that we failed to stop…We had many chances to extend our time of possession and got too conservative.

We lost simply because

The Texans made more plays than us. Thats it. Nothing more , nothing less.

Are you picking up what I'm putting down?
