3rd qtr, 5mins left, 3rd goal at the 2. Incomplete pass to marshall. Hartline was wide open over the middle.

Looks like the umpire may have been mistaken for a Jet. Even if he didn't, he was right in the line of fire and blocked the play.

How about 4th quarter, game on the line... need a TD... we don't throw to Marshall after he gets us into the Redzone... 4 plays, no Marshall.

I called that out earlier this week. Go look at the play where we throw to Ronnie in the flat...Hartline is standing all alone in the corner of the endzone. Henne had his moments, but there's plenty of growth needed there before Miami makes any serious playoff noise.

BTW...its a side note but if the pass to Marshall was on target, he still makes the catch. The pass went straight to Cromartie. Marshall did his best DB imitation at that point.

4th in the 4th, there was nothing in the end zone. needed to hold on to the ball 1 more second for Ronnie to come out left. He just laid a helping block on JT and was about to head to the flat. He would have only had to walk in to the end zone from there. It was a 3 man rush and the other 8 were too deep to stop it. Oh well. Marshall was in the middle and he wasn't getting the ball. Not even he could have won that fight.

Marshall himself came out and said he was winded and failed to complete the routes he was supposed to run after the play that got us into the redzone. He said he had no legs to run the routes.

Marshall blamed himself for this play saying he didn't have the energy to run the routes properly....

How about 2nd and 15... and we are driving.. close to the red zone. If not in it. We call the WildCat.. (Ended up killing the drive and we had to settle for 3)

Hated the call. I would have rather of seen a draw here. At least they wouldn't have known what we were doing by the formation..

Also, has Henning ever heard of the shotgun??

The long completion to Marshall that got us down there would have been a score, but he said himself his legs were toast and he couldn't run at speed. That's the only reason he was caught. Guy gave it all, but everyone is human.

what kills me is that we ran four pass plays.....we have a dominating run game and mauling lineman but can't even muster the cajones to run the freakin ball in the endzone

For real??? that's a shame... still... our close quarters redzone offense was embarrassing.

Actually the first pass of the last 4 downs was to Marshall.

A good RB is nice, a good QB even better, but it's best to be able to stop someone first.

Ah yes you are right... a WR screen may have come in handy at that point... Marshall had a lot of size on Cromartie and could have made the second effort to push through him.
