Arrrghhhhh!!!

Why is Dave Wannstedt so unbelievably dumb? The Dolphins have now had two possessions on the Patriot's side of the 50 yard line in the 4th quarter.

A] Dolphins start with the ball on the New England 35.

  • 1st Down - Incomplete pass.
  • 2nd Down - Fielder drops back to pass and gets sacked for a 10 yard loss.
  • 3rd Down - Fielder drops back to pass and gets sacked for another 10 yard loss, fumbles, Dolphins recover, offsetting penalties negate the play.
  • 3rd Down - Fielder drops back to pass and gets sacked for another 7 yard loss.
  • 4th Down - Dolphins punt from their own 48 yard line.

    They're playing the game on a slick, snowy field. The wind chill is plummetting. And the Miami Dolphins have Ricky Williams, a back that came into the game with 1,013 rushing yards on the season. On to the next Dolphins possession:

    B] Dolphins start on the New England 43.

  • 1st Down - Ricky Williams runs for 4 yards.
  • 2nd Down - Ricky Williams runs for 3 yards.
    (Hey, I think we're onto something here!)
  • 3rd Down - Fiedler drops back and floats a quacker a yard over the outstretched arms of the tight end.
    (Guess not.)
  • 4th Down - Dolphins punt.

    Oh, goody, there's been another Miami possession as I've been writing this:

    C] Dolphins start on their own 4 yard line.

  • 1st Down - Fiedler's pass is intercepted by Tedy Bruschi, returned 5 yards for a touchdown.

    This hurts to watch. I don't like the Patriots and really don't care much for the Dolphins, either, but the coaching job Wannstedt is doing today is Mike-Martz-esque.
