back to the real deal baby......yessssssssssssssssssssss

why is he afraid to throw like that the entire game.....Throw the rock its just a game.

Who are these guys in Dolphins uniforms? These are NOT the same guys I saw in preseason.

See we ain't got common sense! Or the coaching is stupid! On that kickoff, you don't dare touch it. You take it in the endzone. Every second counts.

One day we will draft a real qb like russel wilson....

Well, I saw missed opportunities (drop by Stills) and questionable calls (going on 4th down in the 1st quarter), but all-in-all I found that to be an impressive game. I was convinced we'd be completely outmatched, on the road against a Superbowl contender. We held our own. Hats off to Tanny. He showed something today that I've never seem from him. He was in complete control of the offense.

Nice game Phins!

31 seconds and all we need is a field goal to win. Did anyone in their right mind think that Tannehill was the guy to lead the team down the field?

Tannehill gave them a 4-point lead with four minutes remaining. All we need is to stop the Seahawks from driving down the entire field and scoring a touchdown. You're going to blame that on Tannehill?

Tannehill has room for improvement, but he got his team the lead late in the 4th. Can't blame this game on him.

the same thing continues to happen to this team over and over when we need a stop in the 4th.....Lookout here comes a td.

vIC, I don't judge a man by what he does right. I judge him by what he does wrong.

In that situation, you don't roll the Vegas dice on a 100 to 1 shot of running the ball out of the endzone for a touchdown.

Every second counts. The guy takes a knee in the endzone and you then try Hail Marys from the 20 yard line.

No I'm not blaming that on Tannehill. Seattle has an elite QB that's hard to stop.
Wilson gave Seattle a lead when they needed it.
I'm blaming Tannehill for not matching up well to a hobbled Russell Wilson.

Ok, but what about blaming the DEFENSE for not stopping a hobbled Russell Wilson for driving the entire length of the field to a TD..not just into FG range, but into the end zone.

C'mon, Tannehill sucks out loud.

we're not going anywhere with him.

A couple ok throws amidst a day of bad decisions, zero pocket prescence, and horrific 3rd down %, doesn't make him our future.

We BETTER draft a Q within the first 3 rounds next year!!!!!

Well, unfortunately, Tanny doesn't play directly against Wilson. They are not on the field at the same time. Seattle has sure-handed receivers...we have Kenny Stills. Seattle has had tremendous continuity at QB, HC, WR. We have NOT. This loss is not on Tanny.

I've been extremely critical of Tanny over the last 2 years. Just check my posts during the preseason. That said, you didn't see the same game I did. Tanny had no INTs. Tanny rolled out and threw some very good passes...including an excellent long one that should have been a TD. If Stills catches that ball, I'm convinced we win the game.

Good game in the toughest location. Stills drop was huge. One of the rare deep balls we might see on target

D loked good, Abdul Quddus played great

That's definitely a fair criticism. Our secondary and LBs are still suspect. Our D-Line also didn't play as well when Mario Williams went out. We're not the only team to be victims of a Seattle game-winning drive. They almost won the Superbowl a couple years ago with one! This is a very good team we lost to today...Superbowl contenders. I'm proud of our team overall.

We may not be going places with Tannehill, and he may not be making the pro bowl this year, but he played well enough to win this game.

D played well also, until the end when it counted the most.

Yes, that was a rookie mistake...not Tanny.

That's a tough loss but to blame tannehill for a dropped TD and missed FG is insane. That offense looked better than it has in years and will only get better with more games.

The D played well but Vance Joseph looked a lot like Kevin Coyle on that final drive. Wilson was hobbled. You send the house and make him beat you. Instead he played 10 yards off the ball and let them win the game.

My boy Steen held his own against one of the best defenses in the league. I'd keep pouncey out the first month and if Steen keeps playing well I'd deal pouncey to the highest bidder.

Kenny Stills ought to spend more time on the jugs machine and less preparing his anthem protests.

I was fine with gase going for it early but just run a fast QB sneak

Disappointed on a variety of things watching the game. Kenny Stills drop of the long bomb was almost enough to shut off the game.

Calling that time out was preposterous. Why? Didn't make sense to me.

When we finally went up by 4 I thought now the D will fold and Seattle will pull this game out. My thought was right, and I have to think the Dolphins players thought the same thing and folded their tent, so to speak.

With 31 seconds left...we should have just walked off the field as there was no miracle going to happen. Losing 12-10 to a good team is the only consolation.

Tonight the Patriots play and if they win, they will be atop the AFL East on the first game of the season. Buffalo, Jets and Dolphins lost today allowing it to happen.

I thought this was supposed to be the start of the 2016 football season... but I turned on the TV and soon realised it was Feb. 2nd.

Seattle receivers dropped some passes too. Generally it balances out during the course of a game.
Tannehill had 16 completions for 29 attempts, 180 something yards.
The offense scored 10 points. (17 in a perfect world).
The defense did their job. They held Seattle to only 12 points.
At some point the offense needs to step up and win the game.
Way too many three and outs.

Reality is that is 19th 4th quarter game winning drive for Wilson, how many does Tannehill have drafted much higher? Stills dropped on but overthrew others

Still can't throw an accurate deep ball and was behind receivers. The top QB make the pinpoint passes like Wilson did on the TD

Somewhat Chad henne like, still struggles in the red zone

Still some stupid play calling though against Seattle D

Foster looked good

Tannehill had one today. Until the defense snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Once again, defense played very well for most of the tame, but there are 4th quarter game winning drives and 4th quarter game losing drives. Tannehill put the team ahead by 4 points with 4 minutes to go. That should be a game winning drive, when the D only needs to prevent a TD drive going the length of the field to close out the game. But the defense, as well as they played for the first 56 minutes of the game, squandered that lead at the end.

I'm not out to argue that Tannehill is better than Wilson, or that he played perfectly for the entire game, or that he was drafted in the correct position, or that he doesn't need to improve accuracy, release time, etc. I'm just saying he got a four point lead towards the end of the game. Yes, he ran it in instead of throwing a beautiful TD pass, but they both count for six points, so that doesn't make a difference to me.
