varaven45 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 After watching last nights game, I am thoroughly convinced our guys need to deliver a high spirited, enthusiastic effort to have any chance against the Colts on Sunday. The Dolphins really had little chance to win that game (what with Ronnie Brown going down and having lost Pennington earlier in the season). The Dolphins showed tremendous grit and character for a team with average talent. The Panthers were listless, punchless. Sound familiar ? The point: Our team is talented on both sides of the ball but is not playing consistently, relentlessly with a sense of urgency week in-week out. We saw a sample of it two weeks ago against Denver. Bottom Line: If we do that for entire 60 minutes Sunday, we have a chance to be competetive. If not, we are toast and will be blown out. As Harbs said, we will know about this team (and its character) the next 3 games. To me, we will know this Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleetz Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I am not sure if I agree with you saying "the Dolphins really had little chance to win that game," the Panthers are really not a good team. Both teams are very average and of the same talent level. However, I do agree with your assessment of Sunday's game. We need to play penalty-free football, that is the big thing.

Tend to agree with you about Panthers (being weak) but the Dolphins just came off a hugely dissapointing loss to Pats, then lost Ronnie Brown. They had every reason to lay an egg at Carolina. Instead, they played with tremendous resolve, passion and urgency- qualities that have been missing from the 09 Ravens (at least the last month (sans Broncos game). Thats the point. We need to start punching opponents in the mouth andnot let up !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think the Dolphins would have beat a team like the Colts last night? I don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Can we also consider that while losing Chad Pennington might seem huge... Henne hasn't exactly been a bum. He led them (very much LED them) to a pair of tough victories over the Jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
