Where exactly did Tannehill do great?

He made a tackle? That is great?

I've seen lots of QB's make a tackle on an INT, big whoopie..

seriously you are all excited Tannehill got a tackle on an INT HE THREW!!!

Tanne still falls short in the redzone.

There is an old saying....it's never a mistake if you fix it. Tannehill not only fixed the problem, he motivated everyone on that feild. IT truly bothers you to see him do well. No way you are a Dolphins fan.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Yeah, but there are so many variables when you are inside the 20 and even more when you are inside the 10 yard line.

It's hard to just say, "If we don't get a touchdown pass, it's the QB's fault."

All it takes is one off. lineman whiffing on a block or a receiver stopping short or going too far or a running back making the wrong cut when he is handed the ball....

as I've said before, it is hard to blame a player for performance.....

but on the other hand, you easily want to blame PLAYERS and excuse COACHES when all they have to do is OUT-THINK the other coaches and above all, all they have to do is NOT make stupid decisions.

he made several plays in the Red against the Chargers , and a few yesterday against one of the best defenses in the league. I don't see him falling short anywhere. Can he improve? sure.....everyone can. But he is anything but ineffective.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

The pass to Clay in the end zone was on the money. Clay couldn't hold it. RTs fault? I don't think so.

Also Chryen, blame goes to all. Sure, coaches make some bone-headed calls/decisions, but in the overall scheme of things, not that many during any one game. It is sometimes magnified because of the situation in which it was called.

The players are the one's on that field who make the difference, either way, positive or negative. The offense makes a first down, good possibility the game is over. The defense doesn't let the opponent drive down the field with little time on the clock, game probably over.

I put the onus on the players more than I do on the coaches.

Philbin definite needs to go if we are to reach the next level. I like hickey to find a suitable replacement.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Tannehill not only fixed the problem, he motivated everyone on that feild.

He motivated them how exactly? Rallied them to victory???/ uh no.

Perhaps if he had hit a wide open Wallace for the deep TD that would have motivated them to victory. A better pass to Clay in the endzone perhaps motivates them to victory.

Their QB made the 2 passes that Tannehill did not, they won.

discussing the game.

every game is different, except many seem the same with the Dolphins.

but hey, keep on attacking me yet again.

ironic you imply I make same comments, yet you certainly do.

Almost

Almost gets coaches fired and players replaced.

Guess you want that again for the Dolphins...... as long as Tannehill plays well..... lol

I want the Dolphins to WIN!

He's 34th in fourth-quarter passing (55.7 percent, 1 TD, 2 INTs, 68.2 passer rating), and ranks 26th in third-down passing (55 percent, 3 TDs, 2 INTs, 74.4 passer rating).

yes stagering.

How are Matt Moores stats!?

Off to the game to watch Ryan warm up in person........

Go Phins!!


Miami wins tonight despite what Dolphin really wants........

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Not sure why you keep throwing Moore out there???? Obviously he is not playing.

Guess that is all you can come up with...

and the Dolphins are the NFL leaders in third quarter scoring, putting up 94 points in the quarter after the half.

Tannehill’s 7.9 yards per carry average is the highest average for any NFL player who has carried the ball 30 or more times this season.

Tannehill is presently on pace to throw for 3,808 yards, 28 touchdowns & 12 interceptions

And we are still 5-4 AS A TEAM. So give me another meaningless stat.

who cares about a QB with a high avg, seriously? that is all you got, and it is second now behind russell wilson who by the way has a super bowl ring.

how many games are won in the 3rd quarter?

here is the only stat you need :

He's 34th in fourth-quarter passing (55.7 percent, 1 TD, 2 INTs, 68.2 passer rating), and ranks 26th in third-down passing (55 percent, 3 TDs, 2 INTs, 74.4 passer rating).

games are WON in the 4th quarter.

Then how did we win 5 games?

Games are won by playing 60 minutes genius.

**************************************************

I understand what you are saying, Chryen, but don't necessarily agree. Some of your points are valid, however.

I still say in the majority of time, the onus is on the players. The coaching staff designs the plays and puts the players in position to make the plays. If a player is not that talented or makes a bone-headed mistake, the other team takes advantage.

Every single team in the NFL has problems on the field. They could have HOF coaches, and still blow it. Shula was a hell of a coach. He had teams that screwed up, not because he made a mistake, but because the player(s) did not carry out their assignment(s).

You want to pin those two games on Philbin (and the other coaches)? Both our offense and defense didn't do the job in the last four minutes. If they had, Philbin would not have been put into the situation where he had to call a timeout(s). I'm not saying that I agree or disagree with his decision(s), I'm just saying that players shouldn't put him in that position.

Coaches make decisions that turn out to be brilliant; other times they make the same decision and they look like dumb asses.

My point was that the players make more mistakes than a coaching staff. At times it looks worse for the coach because of the timing or situation. The players have sixty minutes, where many mistakes are made.

Either way, heads roll because of the mistakes.

As far as Philbin goes, the buck stops with him.

we would have won more if we stopped playing in the 4th quarter, but golly gee they do have to play in the 4th too.... dang it!!!

BTW dolphin where is the "dolphin's view of the Bills game?"

He is too busy crying and hiding. (Wasn't that an 80's band?)

TANNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHILL is a warrior!
