If Wallace does not DROP that last pass, we are in overtime.
Nuff said.
Get off Tanny.
Yeah, he could do better on the deep ball but Wallace, in the end, lost this game as did Reshard Jones BEFORE WALLACE DID by that silly out of bounds hit.
chyren there'd be no OT. If wallace catches it and doesn't score, we lose, no way we get the FG unit on the field before clock runs. but if he caught it it woulda been a TD And a win

You're right about the math but as I remember it would not have been a touchdown had he caught it and he would have fallen short but if I was wrong about the score......

That decision to kick a 53 yd FG instead of going for it, and securing the game. Is 4th and 4 that impossible?!! That was very Sparano-like, with similar results: a comeback loss!!
The mindset should have been: convert and put this thing away with a TD drive. GAME OVER! But nooooooooooooooooo!! Loser call!!
And Tannehill is a new and improved Chad Henne! Little to no 2nd half and 4th qtr ability. Sorry, but he doesn't have IT. Never had IT, and will never get IT. At least I don't see IT in him. Hope Im wrong.
that play at the end hit Wallace right in the hands. 60mm says he has to catch that ball to earn his paycheck.
Wallace is a one trick pony. he has to catch it in stride all by himself. he is not going to make the tough catch and he definitely is not going to fight for the ball.
say what you want about wallace but with a QB who can throw the deep ball you can add about 200 yards and 3-4 more TDs to wallace's total, which would make him a top 5 kind of WR

On the 2 long receptions, Wallace actually went back and (somewhat) fought for the ball as they were slightly underthrown. This was a pleasant surprise, as Wallace normally would not have done that. It sure would be nice if the QB could hit him in stride.

Damn straight. Yea he got his hands on the ball and Yea, i'd like a guy with a $60 mil contract to catch that, but he was WIDE OPEN RUNNING HARD TO HIS LEFT AND THE BALL WENT BEHIND HIM TO HIS RIGHT. Those claiming this was all on Wallace have the same slobbering man crush on Tannehill they had on Henne.

The ball could have been placed better, it wasn't.
On the next play, the last play, presumably another hail Mary, why is Tannehill running to his left? He's right handed and there's no way he's going to throw a 50 yarder running to his left and, he didn't.
Disappointing, to say the least.
sorry but I still blame Wallace. sorry but tannehill got obliterated on that play as he threw it. at some point the wr has to make a play.
calvin Johnson has single handedly made matt Stafford a much better qb. without him, staffords stats aren't very good.
the problem with it all is this team has to be perfect to win. if they don't connect on those chances they just aren't good enough to overcome those mistakes.
We aren't good at any one thing on offense. no identity.
For the last 13 years we have been good at this kind of second half collapse/heartbreaking/lead blowing loss. It started with the debacle in 2000, the 'Monday Night Miracle' when, up 30-7 at the end of the third qtr we somehow manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory losing 40-37! Several regimes have come and gone but the pattern persists. One poster described it well after the Monday night disaster vs the Jets "They are a Lucy, forever snatching the ball away just as the Charlie Brown fan is about to kick it." I wish someone could find that post, it was a classic.
If Mike was 4 inches taller perhaps it might have been a different result. Ryan has nothing to work with. My only concern is that this rubbish going on, doesn't get to his mind. Mike is known for his speed. This is not track and field. Is Football. When it comes to WR's. Tall men is what you need.

We seem to be the REVERSE of the Patsies. They are Down what 17 to 0, 24 to 0, and they come back to win in the second half?

RT is fine. He just has to get it in his head that he has to let that ball go, and because of Wallace's speed, he has to let it go early and let Wallace run under it. Both of those first two bombs (that Wallace caught) took too long for RT to let it go. The third long one that overshot Wallace...I'll take it and say it's about time that RT got that ball waaaaaay down the field and gave Wallace a chance. The fourth one was thrown with RT moving to his left, setting, then letting it fly. It wasn't a perfect pass, but Wallace had a hard time judging it and when he finally turned to the ball, it went through his hands. A $60M dollar man should have made that play. If he does, Miami wins.
Yeah, it did seem like Coyles changed the philosophy in the second half. Why change it when it worked so well early on? Carolina's last series is the one that bothered me the most, especially 4th and 10. But, then again, I expected a good Carolina result because that's what the Miami D has been doing all year.
I disagree, tho, that Miami looked the same this week than they have in previous weeks. The D put a hell of a lot of pressure on the Carolina offense. Our D pretty much shut down their running game. Our offense was finally let loose (i.e., RT to Wallace). But of course, that was all in the first half. The second half looked like the rest of the season.
This one hurts, IMO, only because Miami was in the game. I truthfully wasn't expecting much and had already braced myself for an ass kicking, but overall, Miami played well. We should have won that game - THAT'S what hurts!
