The Miami Dolphins decimated the Oakland Raiders today, winning the game 34-14. The Raiders could not find any form of offense, and their defense struggled to control Miami's attack. Overall, this was probably the best all around game the Dolphins have played in several years.
Miami offense came out with their foot on the accelerator, and never let off. Quarterback Matt Moore finished the day with 13-for-25 passing, 162 yards, and a touchdown. Running back Reggie Bush reached the century mark for the second time this year, the third time in his career, and he scored a touchdown. Daniel Thomas averaged 5.6 yards, carrying the ball 13 times for 73 yards.
The Dolphins wide outs Brandon Marshall and Davone Bess, along with tight end Anthony Fasano, each had 4 receptions, with Fasano leading the team with 66 yards. Bess found the endzone on a slant patter in the first half.
The defense played well for the majority of the day, with two sacks (Kevin Burnett and Vontae Davis), and seemed to get pressure on Carson Palmer all day. Linebacker Kevin Burnett picked off Palmer, to go with his sack, while fellow linebackers Cameron Wake and Jason Taylor continually found their way towards Palmer, forcing the quarterback to throw the ball away.
The defense let up in the fourth quarter, going to an incredibly soft zone, giving up 152 yards and two touchdowns - equaling their yardage total from the rest of the game.
The Raiders came in to the game as the fourth ranked rushing attack in the league. At the end of the game, they had 46 yards rushing, on 14 tries. Starting running back Michael Bush, who averaged 106 yards per game over his five starts this year, was held to just 18 yards on 10 carries.
Even the punting game favored the Dolphins. Shane Lechler, Oakland's perennial Pro Bowl punter, kicked the ball eight times for 46.5 yards. The Dolphins' punter Brandon Fields averaged 55.5 yards on his 4 punts.
The Dolphins dominated the entire game, save for the last two drives by the Raiders. They have now won their last three home games, and 4-of-the-last-5 games they have played. While the playoffs may be out of reach, this team is playing solid football and will be able to play the spoiler role the rest of the year.

Miss the misery.
Need a reason for a change.
Need a reason to explain.
So turn it on again.
Don't change your mind.
You're wasting light.
He looked good
It’s nice to see Moore progressing. Earlier in the year he seemed to have a handful of plays that would make you think “What was he thinking” and then at other times would make a handful of plays. I’ve seen those poor plays/bad passes decrease over the past few weeks and the only poor throw I saw him make today was when he threw behind Davone Bess in the end zone, but it’s possible he thought Bess would sit in the soft spot in the coverage, but Bess kept running where a safety was underneath.

the ball was tipped at the line
that is why it went behind Bess. Otherwise it would have been a perfect strike.
I thought I saw that but , wasn't sure. wish i would have recorded this game .

Moore was actually 13-25...but no picks
He looks a lot better then any of thought he would…..he should be aour starter next year while hopefully grooming a #1 pick QB….let them compete ….if Moore beats out more power to him.
But the story of today running + DEFENSE!
Mosul it was Burnette not Dansby
On the sack. Burnette had a nice game 1 sack,1 TFL,1INT and 1 TD. That’s game ball numbers. I also seen him break up a couple of passes.
I’m glad you brought Fields and the punting game. The commentators were riding Lechler jock all game. Talking about the 80 yard punt he made last week. While Fields doesn’t have a 80 yard punt he does have 1 for 70 . He’s also 1st in the league with 24 punt inside the 20 yard line. Today Fields longest punt was 66 yards compared to Lechler long of 57.
The special team played well overall. DC$ was 2/2 on FG’s,but what impressed me the most we his 7 KO’s for 0 yards returned. Even Gate teased us with his 77 yard KO return.

The fact is though
thats where the money comes from that grants us the oppurtunity to watch the game we love so much and to watch it played at this level.
So one cant get too upset.

Matt Moore did this when he was with the panthers, he played good when given the opportunity even with a bad carolina team
and then was given the starting gig next year but he got injured and Jimmy Clause. I think that if Moore was a rookie or a player no one had seen play before a lot more ppl would be on board on keeping him here as a starter for next year. Moore has played good, remember that it took some time for him to get used to the starting receivers and getting on the same page which is a reason why we lost 3 games when he came in for Henne

Yes but his #'s are not elite....can he throw for 380 yds & 4 tds when we
need him to…not sure I feel we need a Top Qb in this draft…let them compete!
I do like his Fire…something Henne did not seem to have.
anybody have an opinion about how John Jerry look?
great? above average? mediocre? or bad?

But, that’s just an initial impression. And, Garner was in there some of the time too, so it could have been him as well. I’ll rewatch the game later and see what I really think of his performance.

I agree with you Mosul. Its always hard to give insight into
a single players performance right after the game and only with having watched the broadcast once, but upon first impressions I would agree he looked great. Confident and crisp. Some of the technical and fundamental issues that have plagued his career didnt appear to be there and/or get properly exploited today which is great. As a whole our line was outstanding. Again though as you said its immediatly after the contest ended.
2008 AFC EAST Champions.
I was pleasantly surprised by Jerry
He looked as if he might just justify the pick we invested in him, which was good to see. More of the same, please!
I don't mind sucking for Luck - but I draw the line at swallowing.
Yea i liked of what I was seeing.
One of my major problems with Jerry last season was how raw he was fundamentally, particularly in the running game, problems that continued to linger around his play that I couldnt figure out how were not being corrected at a faster rate. For example he has a tendency to overexpose himself, driving aggressively too far forward off of the ball inside (sometimes even dropping his eyes) which allowed defenders to manipulate his body positioning and blow plays up. This is partially why some claimed that he should move to tackle but I was an opponent due to the foot speed required to play Tackle that I didnt think he had. He also has had some problems with vision and recognition which will get slaughtered at Tackle, which concerned me.
However I didnt see some of these old nagging problems today which Im extremely happy about.
Granted though its hard to tell on one viewing.
2008 AFC EAST Champions.
I'll have to rewatch the game to see how he did in pass protection
but he was a beast in run blocking. He was able to open holes all day and even pulled well. Our 2 rushing TDs don’t happen without good blocking on his part.

Agreed. He pulled well today as you mentioned
and he pulled on our first touchdown run, made a good block on the run too as you mentioned. However the key to that play was design. Curry and Wimbley got completely sucked out of the play which left Tyvon Branch as the only plyer in the hole, whom Lex Hilliard removed from the hole.
2008 AFC EAST Champions.
I specifically watched Jerry as much as possible
and he looked VERY good. Now granted, I think Oakland’s line is a bit over-rated, but Jerry blew some holes open in the run game and I don’t remember his guy getting to the QB during the game either. Jerry looked good on the sweep play for Bush early on in the game, and he also had 3 or 4 good blocks that were shown on replay where he just pinned his man to allow Bush or Thomas a clear running lane. The entire O-line looked strong today.
It was capped off by Reggie’s waltz into the endzone from the one yard line. That play looked like Oakland wanted us to score.

Playing some of the best football in the AFC right now
…which makes me happy and also simultaneously sad/angry. Damn, I wish this team had shown up a couple times during that 0-7 slump. The AFC is very wide open this year, and Miami would have made some noise if….if…if…
BUT it is what it is. I laud the team for getting after the Raiders and putting out good football at this stage of the season with very little left to play for.
I hope they continue to the end of the season and carry it forward through to next season. No more excuses…no slow starts….its time to start a GOOD era for the franchise.
I love how the Towel Throwers and Henne haters are quickly silenced by the smallest modicum of success. Here's a thought: You'll never appreciate the successes unless you believe and support them when they're supposed to be down. I don't care how entitled you feel that you are to your negativity, a person that boos their own team is simply a jerk.
Pride and dignity are always there to play for
Even if the playoffs arent. Thats what makes this team so much better than some.
I mean, I am sure that there have been teams doing it way before the suck for Luck boat came out, but it is just magnified by that one thing.
Either way, the men deserve credit for not layong down for a better draft pick, and even if we do manage to play our way out of being able to draft a first round QB, i can still be proud to call myself a Dolfan because of that fact alone.
Its why i cant get why some people get so pissed about our wins this season….

Jimbo
Yeah we were competitive in most of our games during the 0-7 start!
Call me crazy but I think TS could still be our coach next year. I still have mixed emotions over that thought. I hate how his “too conservative” approach at the end of games but love how players work for him. Then there is dealing with the fact that a new coach usually means new philosophy, which means roster changes. We are just starting to see what our rookies can become, I’d hate to see them cut and traded if this team is still playing at this level at the end of the season.
This is waaaay better than "suck for Luck"
Alright Miami

As for Sparano...
I’m still leaning towards him being fired, but this team is playing so dang well right now.
I decided to come up with a straightforward litmus test for Sparano.
Right now, we’re 4-8. The 4 games left are against the Bills, Jets, Patriots, and Eagles.
If we win against ALL of our division rivals the rest of the year, I’ll be fine with Sparano coming back. However, a loss to any of them right now is unforgivable. Period.
Bills are playing poor football due to injury.
Jets are barely beating teams we demolished 3 weeks ago.
New England Patriots allowed the Peyton Manning-less Colts to come within a touchdown of tying them.
To be a good AFC East coast, you have to be able to beat AFC East teams. If the Dolphins can beat the Bills a second time, and split the season series with the Jets and Pats, I’ll be fine with him coming back.
However, if he goes 0-2 against Rex Ryan and/or 0-2 against Tom Brady this year, forget it. There’s no point in keeping a coach who can’t defeat our division rivals.
If he wins out though….we’ll see. Unless a really good coaching candidate is available, no point in firing a coach who ends the year on an 8-1 run.
I would say 2-1 against the division would be good.
Beating the Pats in Foxboro in December is going to be incredibly tough. Unless the Pats lay down because they have clinched everything, I don’t see that as a should win game.
Even going in to Buffalo in December will be tough for the warm weather Dolphins, but I agree, it’s winnable.
The Jets in Miami is a should win.

This team has had quite a few extremely fast
drives now that contained only a few plays. We had in KC for example in our second touchdown drive only three plays, all against the Cover 1 single high safety defense Crennel ran so much in that game. The first two plays to Clay and the last the scrollout and throw backside to Fasano. Only three plays. This offense is very aggressive and has done it and think about in this game, at times it seemed (especially early in the third quarter) like the Raiders were not going to be able to stop us.
2008 AFC EAST Champions.
The Giants were screwed royally in this game
It seemed reminiscent of the Ravens-Patriots game when they were undefeated at the time. So many inconsistant calls, especially in the TD reviews. As well as nonsense penalties.
Just wanted to congratulate the team and all you people too!
I loved the game because we dominated on all sides of the game. I won’t give a deep analysis but I feel this was a good game. I am disappointed we didn’t shut them out. I feel we just let them have those last two touchdowns. We should have stayed aggressive all game, especially on defense but regardless, congratulations to my PHINS!!!!! Go dolphins and lets kick some more ass like that next week. XD. PHINS FO LIFE!

Congratulations on the win. You beat us fair and square undoubtedly.
I guess the biggest hope this gives you is that your future rebuilding effort is not so bad as it appeared at the start of the season. Most importantly, rebuilding generally has to be around the qb and Forte looks like the man for the position.
You mean Matte Moore right? Not Forte lol.
Thanks for the congratulations though and I hope the Raiders win the division because I do not like the Broncos. I know some of those games were great comebacks but they keep getting lucky like today’s game against the Vikings. Denver does have a great defense though but good luck to you throughout the rest of the season. This win will make this off-season exciting, that is for sure. PHINS FO LIFE BABY!!!!!

Thanks for the correction. I meant Moore.
Thanks for the well-wishes and to your team for the rest of the season.
Dolphins D and our running game rocked!
Congrats to our O-Line…even you, Colombo…almost like you knew what you were doing out there. Dan Dierdorf, normally unimpressed with anything Dolphin, was effusive in his comments about how well the O-Line did. Pouncey and Long especially.
Moore’s numbers were pedestrian but he managed the game well. The Bush/Thomas tandem is starting to make some noise. I thought Daboll’s play calling is much improved and my final observation is OFF4L got some real good face time. Good to see him out there.

With all your statements but I believe you left out another important chemistry I have been seeing. Moore to Marshall is looking great. When he needs to complete a clutch pass he always seems to throw into tight coverage with Marshall making an extraordinary catch. Also the O-line seems to be dominating now. Don’t know what is is but it was beautiful. Nice post and as always PHINS FO LIFE BABY!!!!!!

I love this one from Tony in his locker room speech
“Thats a darn good football team you just played out today….and you made em’ look not to good so…one hell of a job.”
2008 AFC EAST Champions.
I still reserve judgement on Moore
Until he brings us back for a game-winning drive late in the 4th quarter. He’s playing well right now, but it helps to be playing from ahead.
Regardless, we have at worst a caretaker for the position next year while we groom someone worthy of the word “elite.”
I think most of us are on board now with Moore starting next year
while whoever we draft next year learns. Luck is the only one I can say right now I’d throw right out there, and unless we trade the house for him, we won’t be getting Luck. Landry, RG3, Barkley, whoever you prefer can learn for a year and we can compete with Moore, won’t win a SB but can sneak into the playoffs.
"It's not just linebackers. This is Penn State linebackers, man. We're a certain type. We've gotta be aggressive, relentless, focused. Don't talk. Don't talk at all. We don't showboat or anything. We just play hard and get the job done." -Khairi Fortt
