    Why did we call plays with people running 5 yards? The fact that Henne had the ability to throw 5 yard passes is bull****. Why the **** did they even call 5 yard routes? Take Bess out, put in Curtis and Wallace, and tell them just ****ing run. I can tell we just wanted to get into field goal range.

    That was goddamn embarrassing. Stupid *** conservative offense. And the last possession, I won't even go there. Our season's over before it's over. We can't even play spoiler to the ****ing Patriots because they've already clinched. So tired of this mediocre, conservative, inconsistent ****. Way too pissed right now.....

    He is but we will never know Henne's potential til Henning is gone or Henne is picked up by another team. Ex-Dolphin players have been known to play better on different teams.

    I don't think it's happened with a QB though. He might be better with a competent coaching staff. I mean what player probably wouldn't benefit.

    Well, I was more concerned with chatting with fellow phinfans, but apparently it comes at cost.

    That last drive was pitiful, Henne was pitiful, sorry Tony, you are officially on the hot seat, your team, you guys, screwed the pooch for the second yr in a row with the playoff on the line, hopefully you have picture of Ross with a goat or something to keep your job because I do like you, but this **** is unacceptable yr after yr.

    Sparano in his post game said he told Dan Henning to get pushing the ball down the field towards the end of the game...

    Start Thigpen next 2 games to see if he is a servicable 2nd string QB, and sign Carson Palmer as soon as he is released. Fire Sparano and Henning and get Gruden in here as our HC. I am desperate for winning football in Miami again.

    henne can't read a defense, can't adjust to the blitz, can't play against zone coverage. He is nothing more then a J Russell. He had a strong arm, so he got drafted. He has been studdying film for three years and just doesn't know what the hell he looking at. He can't be taught.

    I admit Hennings play calling is suspect, but you can not blame it all on him. The henne supporters just want to deflect blame to henning. You have to admit henne doesn't get it. I was glad we had a good QB as an announcer today. He was pointing out some of the obvious mistakes henne was making every other play.

    Why would you even bother spiking the ball with five seconds left and throw a F@#king 5 yard pass.....bmarsh isnt gonna break a 70 yard RAC TD....He has the arm, we set up the spike for one last big play, throw the damn rock down the field. It like they really dont want to win at home!!!

    No arguing that but what rookie QB would have done better under this coaching staff? Henne is the scapegoat. The kid was better when he got here as a clean slate than he is now with 3 years under these coaches. No QB can be groomed under this play calling, you are just getting sucked into the whole agenda Sparano and Henning are spreading to try and save their jobs.

    Confidence is a key to developing QB's and these guys have done nothing but kill this kids confidence since he got here.

    They just look like a team without any idea of what they are trying to accomplish. Henne who was on fire with spot on accuracy turns into Mr Clueless on the final drive.

    Rich Gannon also called Marshall a "speedster," and wondered aloud why Kevin Curtis (who IS a speedster) was the one running the go route instead of Marshall. Gannon was a good QB, but he absolutely sucks as an analyst. The chic thing to do is to **** on Henne, and Gannon piled on a LOT. Every sack was Henne's fault apparently. Becaus elord knows Murtha or any of those other scrubs couldn't be at fault.

    Anyone who can't see Henne sucks doesn't know football! You guys keep blaming the coaching staff but miss all the weaknesses in Henne's game! Bottomline they all suck!

    By no means am I defending the coaching staff. Most notably Henning,but Henne has to be the easiest QB to put a defensive plan together for in the whole league.

    People are still clinging to the idea that it's everybody else's fault and not Chad Henne's. Forget that Fitz has had less starts and has never went through any team's training camp as a starter. Somehow the guy is playing pretty well on a team that is not loaded with talent. People complain that Miami doesn't have enough talent around Henne or a good enough Oline which is nonsense. Bad coaching is a factor but Henne could be playing better than this despite those things.

    Exactly, in his presser he even said Henne made the right decision throwing to Bess underneath with 40 seconds left in the game.

    We may have no choice but to stick with the devil we know.
    Palmer sucks, McNabb sucks and we wont get Vick.

    These guys are handed a sheet before every game with key points on it so they can sound intelligent throughout the game. You can tell the lazy ones because they follow the sheet word for word.

    Well I'll tell you something, I think Gruden is just as good of a possibility as Cowher. Gruden with Nolan still around is a very interesting solution because remember how little it took for him to turn that Bucs offense into something solid. All it takes with Gruden is some smart veterans, not high draft picks. You give the man perhaps one WR in FA, one inexpensive TE, and say a Jerome Harrison/Ronnie Brown combo we'd be fine at the skill positions. He's the kind of the guy that could really make something special out of just a veteran quarterback and then you add a top linemen in the draft, you'll be fine.

    I think he's learned quite a bit in his first coaching go-around, he's still young and he's just got this attitude that's not just passionate about football but he's excited. He's the one who might have a chip on his shoulder, not so much Cowher.

    Here let me break it down! The Kool-Aid drinking homes refuse to admit Chad Henne is the worst starting QB in the NFL! He is absolute garbage and our HC is trash!

    Dont' tell that to the people here who are surely busy writing manifestos about why it's everybody else's fault that Chad Henne can't throw more TDs than interceptions.

    This reminds me of when we picked up Daunte Culpepper and he sucked. There were people who were certain it wasn't his fault. Then he went to other teams and sucked even more.

    there's no reason for us to suck this year...

    why do we suck so much on offense? last year we were complaining because we didn't have a good WR and now that we have B.Marshall who is ****ing great and will burn a defense for a completion and dan henning doesn't seem to understand that yet.

    or maybe it's chad henne and it's ALL of his INTS that is killing our momentum.

    I dont understand why we really didnt run the ball on a roughly 31st ranked run defense!!! we only had like 60 or 70 rushing yards! **** they ran for more yards against our top rated D than we did against theirs....just doesnt make any sense!!! God forbid we actually try to expose their weakness, well just keep throwing the ball, and then only run when it doesnt make sense!
