will someone admit that Bruce Arians was the biggest fool tonight? Are you kidding me? What is he thinking throwing the ball TWICE inside the 10 yard line with time running out? Why didn't he keep running the ball, make the Dolphins use their timeouts, run the clock down, and set up Reed? If you don't trust your kicker to make a 20 something yard field goal, rain, sleet, snow, I don't care, if he can't make that kick, he doesn't belong in the league! The best play that happened during that sequence was Ben getting sacked! That forced the clock down, just as RUNNING would have done! You've struggled all night to score, and when you get a golden opportunity, you THROW the ball? What if he would have thrown a pick and they had ran it all the way back? That dude's playcalling is killing me! Would you agree?

I was thinking about the play calling all night, not just on the last drive. I think throughout the game, they should have had Ben throw more because he was actually having a pretty good game. I know that it wasn't a good night for passing, but he was having a good game. As far as the last play goes, yeah I agree with you. I just think that they should stop trying to get Parker to run up the middle and utilize his speed by getting him to the outside. He did it a few times last night, but not very many!
I just hope they get it together..... really soon!

Yep! There was some bad play calling at the end of the game. They didn't need to keep throwing the ball. They should have gone for the field goal after running down the clock. I'm a Giants fan-yes, the team has it's problems! It was a tough game!

When I think of Bruce Arians, I think of how Sean Connery was portrayed in "Celebrity Jeopardy" on Saturday Night Live with Will Ferrell if anyone has seen it. He is the biggest idiot. I even mentioned this to my dad today. The worst play was the 3rd and 15 yards to go shuffle pass across the middle to Davenport for 3 yards. His plays are completely ridiculous. I think he is another spy from, who else but the cheating Patriots trying to take down teams from the inside...

Just like last night. The Eagles have a chance to tie the Pats and send the game into overtime, but instead of keeping the ball on the ground and running the clock down they let Feeley heave one into the endzone. (it gets picked off, no more chance for a game-tying field goal)
Stupid, Stupid play.

The Dolphins didn't have any timeouts to call anyways - he was trying to put it in the endzone so that we didn't have to rely on a field goal on that sloppy field. I think where he misjudged his play calling was on 2nd and 3rd and shorts - he kept running when they were getting stuffed(usually by J. Peezy)

I don't know why he did that, it scared me too.
I suppose he was going on the fact that Ben had just completed like 15 passes in a row ... but yeah, I agree with you there.
although running wasn't working so well on that field either ... and a TD WOULD have been nice.
ugh.
well anyways, I'm just glad they won.
barely.
hehe what a boring game ...

It could have been worst. You could have Ron Turner calling plays.
