Post-Game Thread: Dolphins season ends in loss to Steelers

This was a very weird game. And most importantly, let's hope Pat White isn't seriously hurt. That hit was downright scary.

We saw a valiant effort out of this Dolphins team. But again, they dug themselves into a hole that was to hard to climb out of. Of course, Chad Henne's "eye injury" didn't help their cause.

It should be interesting to hear what Tony Sparano has to say about the decision to hold Henne out with that mysterious injury. Regardless, Tyler Thigpen came in after White went down and looked pretty good - one poor decision aside. But what I'll never understand is why this defense takes so long to get their act together now.

Regardless, Miami's season comes to an end with a disappointing 7-9 record. But the future does seem promising.

Look for the usual game recap post tonight. And enjoy the rest of the day.

Maybe the FO will now realize that Pat White just isn't an NFL QB

He doesn’t have good enough mechanics to overcome his small size and inaccurate throws. He’s also a rookie who’s never been in such a pressure-filled situation before. He never should have been thrown into that situation in the 3rd quarter in the first place, and he suffered for it. Thigpen has at least been in those types of games before (hell, the Chiefs kept games close all the time last year in part because of him), and if he had more time with the offense in preparation (instead of White), we may have gotten a win today.

I hope Pat White is okay, but man, that was an awful decision…

well...

White isn’t a rookie anymore. He’s got another offseason to work on mechanics.

And are you seriously blaming the loss on us not giving Thigpen more practice reps???

I'm not blaming the loss on that

But I’ve never understood why Pat White is the 2nd QB. Sure, he’s got mobility, but Thigpen also has that, and a good base of experience he developed in KC last year. It’s not like the Phins can run the WildCat without Ronnie, so why exactly wouldn’t you move the more experienced, traditional QB up to backup in case of a problem?

It’s a philosophical problem I have with the offense, more or less.

I think that Sparano actually threw this game...

I mean, an eye injury? Henne looked fine to me…

He must have been thinking that, by pulling Henne, we would most likely lose with White in, giving us a nice pick. However, on the off chance that we won, we would know that White was good.

Magical eye injury

I’m trying to figure this out too. If there was something serious going on, he would have been off the sidelines getting medical tests. CBS got a pretty good closeup on his eyes in the 3rd quarter and neither one was red (HD Tivo!). You also didn’t see him rubbing the eye at any time. Plus there’s the fact that CBS wasn’t even aware that there was a problem coming out of half time. Seems pretty strange. The announcers on TV didn’t really discuss it either. Did the local radio team say anything?

by PhinfaninNY on Jan 3, 2010 9:57 PM EST up reply actions  

wasn't an "eye" injury

his vision was blurred from a head hit earlier. It was most likely a minor concussion, and the Coaching staff chose to play it safe and keep him out. It wasn’t like a poke to the eye, more of a “pain behind the eyes” thing I believe

what a 4th quarter comeback by Miami but once again it wasn’t enough. Let’s hope Pat White is okay, send some prayers out for him. Let’s just say that our defense needs a change, Wilson is gone, and our linebacker core is a bunch of wimps. Porter had a decent game but that has been all season. So anyways I’m pretty pissed off right now, but it was a valuent effort by Miami in the 4th. We need to get it down earlier next year.

by dolfancraigo on Jan 3, 2010 4:24 PM EST reply actions  

2nd Half D

Well, the reason that the second half D has showed up the last three weeks is because teams have stopped throwing the deep ball with their 3 TD leads. Besides Belichek, almost every coach in the NFL will get conservative with a three score lead and call mostly run plays and short passes… which they were not that bad at defending. When we got off to big leads in some games earlier this year, the D got lit up because the opposing offenses had to take some chances and throw the deep ball.

If the Titans or Texans continue to throw the deep ball, those games probably end in the blowouts that the halftime scores seemed to indicate.

eye injury

Hopefully White is ok, but I can’t wait to hear what’s up with Henne’s eye injury. He didn’t look hurt to me. At least put an eye patch on him if you’re going to pretend.

I was really amazed at just how inept the offense was with White. The coaching staff had to have some kind of idea. Why put the guy in and call nothing but run plays QB draws.

Also, I love how the announcers were about ready to run out onto the field to blow Roethlisberger for playing with a sore shoulder. However, they thought it was in good taste to make numerous quips about White getting knocked out.

I have the same feeling, but today’s injury had little to do with his size. It’s not like he broke is ribs or something.

It was helmet to helmet and everyone is susceptible to getting knocked out that way. If I recall, Big Ben was knocked out that way at least once before.

Receivers

Not that I believe we are going to spend/draft high on a receiver, but if we do…

Ginn is most likely staying (like it or not)… who gets cut?

Bess and Hartline have been excellent #2 guys IMO. It’s tough for me to pick a favorite between these too. They catch almost everything.
Camarillo is usually clutch, but doesn’t seem to get thrown to as much as Bess and Hartline.

Does Turner get dumped before getting a single snap? How good can a receiver be to not be activated for an entire season? It’s not like he’s playing QB or learning defensive schemes.

by ClarkT on Jan 3, 2010 4:59 PM EST reply actions  

I think you trade cam to on of tuna's friends,

and pick up a vet in free agency and draft another wr, but in later rounds. Doesn’t sound like turner is going to stick. He can’t get off press coverage in practice, and he isn’t very fast.

Good Game

 The Dolphins looked like they were gonna do it a couple of times, had a big break after a great scoring drive, the defense comes up big, however we failed to capitalize, gave the ball right back to them. What a huge let down. Oh well that is Dolphin Football for you these past few years. Sad that we finish once again under .500 In all the years the Dolphins played ball under Shula, there were only 5 loosing seasons in the teams history, in near 30 years. Why here in the past 5 years we’ve had 3 loosing seasons.
 The fat lady has sang, the song is over. It makes a fellow mad, because after such a huge turn around last year, one would think we were gonna soar high this year, but not the case. My oh my.

We probably would’ve tied it with a FG and then we’d all be complaining that they went conservative and played for the tie/overtime. :)

yuck

he’s terrible. He’s gonna look phenomenal at the combine, but so did Vernon Gholston. Mays can’t cover, can’t tackle unless he knocks the guy over, and can’t play zone coverage to save his life. He’s a ridiculous athlete, but not a very good football player.

he was one of the better KR in the league this year

and he’ll be scary when he’s matched up vs the 2nd CB and no safety up top. Right now he’s being guarded by the Darrelle Revis’ of the world because there isn’t another WR on the team that can go to the house from anywhere.

LOL I agree that at times he shows a burst and gets to the 30-50 yard line

but there are still way too many returns that never get back to the 20. Thats should almost never happen.

Re: Stop Using We Already!!!

Stop using the word “we”, you don’t play for the team, work for the team or own the team. The correct words are they or the Dolphins. I guess this week you can use the possesive pronoun, “We suck” Oh, I forgot the Dolphins have been in a rebuilding phase for the past ten years. THEY SUCK, WILL SUCK AND HAVE ALWAYS SUCKED. Pothead at running back, a big mouth in Porter, a washed up has been at DE, a Quarterback who throws to the wrong team, a head coach who could not find his a** with two hands, and the list just goes on and on and on. Don’t make up excuses, there are none. SQUISH THE FISH!!!

Imagine if the defense had to worry about Brandon Marshall on one side

now you have Ginn one on one with a lesser CB. Suddenly, if he catches a slant, theres room to operate. Suddenly, if he runs by that guy, there isn’t two more standing back there. And now Bess is running routes against guys like Nate Jones or LB’s, and he’s wide open all day long. Or how about Hartline outside working to get open on 3rd downs against single coverage, with Ginn in the slot, facing nickel backs…
