TEAM STATISTICS

 

[Hostile]

Where is the evidence of running it up? Show that they went for it on 4th down. Show that they kept starters in. Show that they were throwing deep late.

All this shows is a score.

Gotta love people who are trying to come up anything to justify belicheat and patsies actions. Yeah, if Phins did it (I don't know whether they did it or not), I guess two wrongs makes it right.

Showed Shula threw 2 deep passes in 4th quarter to win 52-0.

Killer teams have a killer mentality.

...until their QB gets killed with a late blow to the knees. Book it, it will happen if their not careful.

This topic is getting old.

In other news, I heard we play the Eagles this week.

Amen

the last time I remember this much whining was the colts whining about the pats holding them at the line of scrimmage in the 03 championship game. They cried so much they got a rule enforcement to be called constantly in the league.

I cant believe everyone who is so upset. The pats are running it up to prove a point, the pats are not above the nonsense that goes on in pro sports, they act like it but they are as bad or worse. Vrabel, harrison and bruschi complained after every play we made on them at the stadium to the officials.

Bruschi and harrison moan about everything. They love to throw there winning in other peoples faces though.

I think the pats are going to wipe everyone out with their biggest blowout of the year coming in the superbowl. It will be 2 or 3 years down the road when teams will get a chance to get some revenge.

No one should be crying this year, because everyone is outmatched.

Shula played QB for the Dolphins? This is news to me.


And who was the Fins starting QB back then (the real one, not the one you think it is)?

I have no problem putting in BACKUPS and running your regular offense. But when you keep your starters in WAY after the game is in hand, WELL into the 4th quarter yet you still try and score, it's classless, unsportsmanlike, and it's running up the score. Period.

Bob Griese was the Miami starting QB in 1972. He broke an ankle and was replaced by 38 year old Earl Morrall. You will note in your box score that Morrall did not throw a TD pass in the game until the 3rd quarter. That's because the 72 Dolphins ran the ball all the time behind an amazing OL with 2 (should be 3) Hall of Famers with a great RB trio of Larry Csonka, Mercury Morris and Jim Kiick. I'll come back to that point.

When the game was out of hand Shula pulled Morrall (the back up QB) and inserted 3rd string QB Jim Del Gaizo. He threw a grand total of 6 passes in that game. 4 were completed. One was to WR/4th string QB Marlin Briscoe. Briscoe caught a grand total of 16 passes all that season.

Pop Quiz: what was his YAC on that scoring play? Can you prove it was a 51 yard bomb? We both know you can't.

Later Del Gaizo completed a pass to 2nd string TE Jim Mandich who went 39 yards for the last score. Mandich caught a total of 11 passes all season.

Pop Quiz: what was his YAC on that scoring play? Can you prove it was a 39 yard bomb? We both know you can't.

Running it up? Or the results of facing a 3-11 team? Miami attempted only 19 passes, but had 482 yards of offense to 169 for the woeful Patriots. Miami only completed 11 passes, 3 were for scores.

But the truth is for the 1972 Dolphins calling off the dogs meant not running the ball down your throat and beating you senseless. They were the first team ever to have 2 RBs break 1000 yards in the same season and their 3rd RB, Kiick, had over 500 more. Runnig the ball was how they demoralized you, not by the pass.

Miami stopped doing that, and instead went to what they did very little of in 1972, they passed the ball, and they did with their 3rd string QB to backup WRs and TEs.

Oh and for the record, those 2 TDs were not bombs, there were several missed tackles.

Nice try.

I wonder if he will maintain that the passes were bombs?

I did leave that worm dangling on the hook.

I have noticed the Old Nors coming back the last few days .....

 

[Rack]

Gee, I wonder why Nors didn't reply?


Maybe he thinks it's like that age old question "If a tree falls in a forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a noise?"

Only in Nors case it's "If I get owned in a thread, but I don't reply to it, did I really get owned?"

 

[Nors]

I didn't see the game but they were throwing in 4th and threw 2 TD's in 4th quarter to win 52-0.

By todays standards that equals running it up here. I'm with Shula and like a killer mentality..... The great, great teams have it.

Not - I was working all day and too busy to get to net. Again keep defending teams throwing up TD passes leading 38-0 and 45-0 in fourth.

Hypocrite to all Those in this threat defending Dolphins throwing the ball exactly as Pats did, Wait, no the backup QB ran in the last score.

Shula was a great coach.
