The Miami Dolphins should give their season ticket holders some of there money back after watching the horrid product the Fins put on the field each Sunday.  Today was no exception as the Raiders really pushed around the defense of the Dolphins.  The Raiders held onto the football for an amazing 35:07 of this football game.  They did that by rushing for 299 yards on 49 carries (6.1 ypc)!  The Raiders only threw 12 passes, completing 5 for 70 yards because they didn’t need to throw to beat the Dolphins.  Safety Donovin Darius (9 tackles), linebacker Derrick Pope (8 tackles) and DE Matt Roth (6 tackles, sack) were the only defenders to show up for the Aqua and Orange.

Ronnie Brown was the only player that looked good on offense.  He carried the football 15 times for 134 yards (8.9 ypc) with 1 TD run and he also caught 6 passes for 73 yards (12.2 avg).  Trent Green had another bad game completing 14 of 25 passes for 158 yards with 1 TD and 2 INTs.  You know it’s bad when Justin Peelle leads all receivers and TEs with 3 catches for 45 yards (15.0 avg) with a TD but that’s exactly what he did today.  The Dolphins finished up with 141 yards rushing on 20 carries (7.1 ypc) and they completed 14 of 25 passes for 137 yards.
