This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
Last week, Luck had the ball at the end of the game, with the chance to win with a touchdown drive.
Our DEFENSE put the game away by stopping the opponent.
This week, Tannehill had the ball at the end of the game, with the chance to win with a touchdown drive.
Our OFFENSE put the game away by scoring a TD on the final drive.
For how many years were we unable to finish the game? I know this is only three weeks into the season, but what we've seen so far on both sides of the ball in the fourth quarter has been VERY encouraging.
We are facing an undefeated opponent on their turf next week. It's going to be a very tough game, but we have a good chance!

There are a number of things I'm seeing that I haven't seen consistently since Shula:
1. 4th quarter comebacks
2. Effective halftime adjustments
3. Very few penalties
It was a formula that worked for us with Shula, and it's working again. It's amazing how many coaches we've had in-between that couldn't accomplish these things with the team.
It used to be that Miami played well until the 4th quarter, and now they're doing better late in the game. If they could just play like that from the start, then winning would be easier!

The only thing I would add is:
4.) Guys stepping up and making plays when we desperately need them. Gibson, Miller, Tannehill all did this yesterday and that catch by Sims was bigtime.
