It's a very good thing I live 3,000 miles away from Miami.
At one point Henne was 21 for 28 and we were rollin along. Marshall drops an easy 3rd down conversion, Henne ain't even mind, we were in good shape, we had it.
And then.......They start having Henne do roll outs like 5 passes in a row.
Huh? HUH? Wha.......I mean, what part of the gameplan was that when he was in perfect rythym?
Minute or so left in the game, down 7, 3 men in the backfield, play action pass............
...........
I'm sorry, what? Are we @#$%^&* serious with this crap?
Give up a 50 yard TD, time to run clock. I don't care if we go 3 and out, RUN THE BALL and KEEP THE CLOCK RUNNING. Nope, 48 second drive.
There are ZERO brains on that sideline. And that is the main reason I maintain you can not blame Henne YET. (and don't get me wrong, his mistakes piss me off and are costly) but would they happen if the offense was put in better situations? I don't think so. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe he is destined to throw a million picks, but run that damn ball, maybe scratch out a first down to run down the clock even further, and nobody has to throw nothin. But nope, we go to desined roll outs for anti Michael Vick.
I'm just baffled by the calls these guys come up with. It's amazing really.
Not one pick 6 for us this year. Arizona had 2 on 2 drives yesterday.
Not a single 100 yard rusher this year. Brandon Marshall, the king of the 11 yard gain, and nothing else. Where are the "big" plays he makes after the catch? Not sure, but I think our long play this year is like 64 yards to Hartline ain't it? And a 50 yard run by Brown from the Minny goalline in week 2.
1 breakaway TD, by Ricky to seal off Tennessee. That's it. That's our season. Damn near ZERO huge plays. No punt returns, no kick returns (hello Ted Ginn) nothing. Carp was the only guy to have any "explosive" plays from his position.
On the bright side, we have no second round pick in April.
So we have no choice but to move down in the draft in round 1 and add picks. If we take a QB in round 1, guess what, we go thru this no playmaker season again in 2011 with our eyes on 2012.
Lakers and Dolphins pretty much @#$%^& up my Christmas/birthday. Hate when that happens.
