Hopefully we can make some corrections at the half.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Err,, wouldn't we need coaches to do that?

SIGH.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

i bet hooligan will be the first one to compliment the coaches if we blow them out in the second half.

broken clocks are right twice a day

Not the digital ones.

I probably won't be the first. I can't type all that fast with only two fingers.

atta boy. they really fired landry up!

these guys are professionals. if they need the coach to get them fired up to play then they shouldn't be here.

jarvis landry is a pro. i doubt anyone had to fire him up.

the problem today was coyle. we have a loaded d and he played base most of the game.

we need to dictate on D. all preseason jones was hovering around the line. not today when it counted. he played back.

sweet criminy, when will the coyle finally grow a sack.

It was Ugly , but a win is a win. I'm concerned about them closing out SUH and running the ball so well. I hope Albert is OK. They have work to do this week.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

I was disturbed about some of the passes by Tannehill to be frank but it was the opening game. So hopefully, having won, he'll settle down next week.

He's a veteran. He ended up with numbers no better than Cousins. Miami should not have to count on special teams to bail them out against a team ranked 31st or 32nd in the power rankings. It was a win but, it was NOT a play-off caliber effort.

I'm as big a fan of Tannehill as there is. That said , this win was ugly. Kind of like taking that monster fat chick home at 4am when the lights come on. yeah you got laid.....,we won, but damn, I know you could do alot better son!!!! That was Ugly. Ryan's fumble was as bad a play as I've seen him involved in. They need yo be in at 7 sharp Tues figuring WTF went wrong and how do we fix it?

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Some disturbing things about this game:

offense got shut out in the second half

defensive front 7 not in synch in the first half. Still not putting everything on the lbs for the terrible run defense in 1st half.

Tanne - worst thing about that bad throw that knocked Sims out was that later Cousins showed how that play should work resulting in a TD.

D/ Ends - 0 sacks / Wake had 1 that was negated by a penalty but ends did not bring a lot of heat.

Dolphin O & D coordinators - This game should not have been that close. Lazor gets a Mulligan time of posession was dominated by Skins. Defense has to get off the field.

Good Stuff

DB's - Those guys played there a***** off. Good Job

Douglas saw him blocking down field on several plays.

Pouncey did some good stuuf out there.

Oline improved.

Mathews - just give him the damn ball. I think he is a player.

Cameron - can get open

Landry - game mvp

Misi - played best game of his career.

D Tackles - made plays thru out the game. Improved run defense in the second half allowing the lbs to come up and make plays.

We had one sack from the rookie.

The redskins had a good gameplan and they were more physical than we were. They were also cut blocking our defenders on every play. We'd better get that figured out this week because I guarantee Jacksonville will do the same thing and Buffalo will punch us in the mouth. We also had better learn how to tackle...quickly. RT forced quite a few balls into heavy traffic as well...can't continue that.

Got alot of work to do the next two weeks.

My question is why didn't they get the cut blocking issue corrected? Like no one has ever had to fight cut blocks before? If all you ever had to do was cut block and elite defensive line, everyone would be doing it all the time.

What gives? Terrell Williams was not coaching the d-line? Coyle was unaware? I don't get it.

Im still excited but still some things that need to be worked on that has been evident in the past.

Tanne needs touch - I can keep saying this but that's probably the last thing to come on the list. He has made significant progress.

Pouncey needs to make better line calls and pick up stunts. On the Tanne fumble Pouncey went to help out on the right side and left a gap that allowed Thomas to get double teamed. New England always run a similiar stunt at least twice a game w/ the same results.

Our linebackers play too far back. We start 2 weakside DE's our lbs are already vulnerable on the edges. Playing them as far back as we do makes them vulnerable from the inside too. Our DTs play aggressively IMO protecting the lbs is not part of the scheme. I remember what made Tim Bowens so effective was he took up space and forced the runner thru gaps that Zach knew they were coming thru and he would make the tackle. Our front 7 scheme appears to be every man for himself no cohesion between the front 4 and the back 3. Now that Ellerbe and Wheeler are gone we saw the same yesterday w/ tackles being made 4/5 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.

Gotta fix that that's the most serious issue.

that fumble never happens if matthews catched the pass right in his mitts the previous play.

That's true but poor execution on a prior play does not excuse poor execution on the next.

I have a feeling we should have hired Jim Schwartz to replace Coyle.

Or Rex Ryan to replace Philbin.
I know it may sound a little "chicken littlish" but, I have a feeling that our only shot at the playoffs is IF both wildcards come out of the AFC East. Buffalo looks solid.

We will find out if it gets fixed this week vs Jax. They (and every other team) will be cutting us until they solve the problem. Just like everyone after the Bronco game last year figured out to double our DT's.

We came out of the gate last season in the season opener and looked Super bowl bound against the pats. So you never know........hopefully they make ajustments this week.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

In all fairness, the D did not allow a 3rd down conversion or a single point in the second half.

They did only allow 10 points. I don't know many coaches who would complain about that.

It was the offense that stalled. You have to score more than 10 points.

I'm the biggest Tannehill supporter here, but that may have been one of his worst games to date. Several throws where batted at the line.his fumble, and he almost killed Sims.. I love the kid, no one's perfect, but he needs to get his shit together. And he had a ton of time. The oline played well.

Defense needs to stop those runs up the middle. I think our corners played lights out.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

22 of 34 for 226 yrds with 1 TD and no INTS......93.5 QBR.......does everyone really expect him to put up Marino like numbers? He's not Dan Marino, nor will he ever be.

Now having said that, I do still worry about the sacks, I've said this before and I'll say it again, Ryan moves well on designed runs, but when the rush gets close he moves like he's in cement, he needs the inner clock to go off a split second sooner.

The few over-throws I saw, he was throwing on the run, tough enough to hit the low percentage throws, even tougher doing it while moving. This offense needs to establish the run first then let Ryan get the passing game going, can't understand why Lazor and/or Philbin refuses to feed Lamar the ball on a consistent basis.

Tannehill connected twice DEEP to Cameron. All the knocks on him for lack of deep balls and still no acknowledgement.

Tannehill also led the drive to close out the game. Another knock where everyone said he could not close out games. He connected on a 22 yard pass that final drive (2nd and 16).

Not all great but some positives to build on...

The defense shut down a 4th down conversion attempt on the final defensive stance.

The offense also blocked well on the last drive to close out the game. Lamar Miller 8 yard run to get that final first down.

Another reason I don't want to freak out too much about a tough road game even though it was against a 4 win team from 2014. For all we know they make the playoffs this year. Stranger things have happened.
