Absolutely perfect throw by Tannehill to put the Dolphins up. 75-yard drive on the Rams? Miami’s a different team.
lol rodney itiotson just said the ram defense gave up two drives in the forth qtr………well thank you so much rams for giving up the booty
The best thing I saw of Tanny today was that he rebounded from what normally he wouldn’t. His mental/emotional breakdown when things aren’t going well really become an anchor for him, but today he kept himself in a good place and bounced back to lead the team to a win. I think the rest of the team responded to seeing that as well. Defense kept us in it too, so really nice team win
Definitely a better mental makeup on this team. Better leadership. Gase really shit the bed earlier, his game plan was awful, but even he settled down and found his groove later. This is a different team on many levels
This team is just better. I always thought they were better than they were playing. But Tannehill deserves credit for this one in my mind. I just wish they could get this all figured out a little bit earlier in the game!
I don’t care if we get top coverage, I just want to keep winning. Recognition doesn’t mean much, winning most certainly does though!
‘Defense kept us in it too, so really nice team win’
no no no. you have no damn clue. no such thing as a team win. it is always up to one player or one aspect of the team. i cant stand when you fools try and say it is a team game. who in the world would ever think such an idiotic thing. next thing one of you fools will say is one day that donald trump dude will be president
‘But Tannehill deserves credit for this one in my mind.’
why, he played horrible for 55 minutes and the def playe……well wait according to the experts the rams offense played horrible….but my point is t hill stunk up the place then had 5 great minutes. why is it everyone always wants to give one person credit in a team game.
Because he didn’t give up. He kept it together and pretty much won the game in those 5 minutes.

no he didnt. he was on the team that won the game in the last 5 minutes but he wasnt the one who started pass blocking or getting open on routes. did he play really well then, yes he did but so did the rest of the team.
The rest of the team could have done all that and if he didn’t play well in the final minutes we would have lost.
herd
if parker dropped the ball, if the def didnt hold they would have lost no matter what t hill did.
but okay i get it, it is a useless arguement. yeeaaaaaahhhh t hill single handed won the game. go qb
This picture is hilarious.
I still can’t believe the Dolphins won yesterday expecially can’t believe how they won
Repeat after me Ryan. Ooohhhhmmmmmm oohhhmmmmmmmmmm
Nobody won!
Stanger did get our score correct but missed by a FG
14-13 MIA

It’s another Monday after a win
A Monday after a win
Doo doooo doooooooooo
We are no longer solely Dolphins fans, guys. We are Dolphaideroncos (dolphins raiders broncos) fans!
We need the Broncos to beat the Chiefs at least once, but preferably twice. It will also help if the Raiders beat them. That gives us a little bit of breathing room to now have to win out our schedule. We could have a hiccup or two if KC manages to lose 3 of their next 6.
The best scenario is us winning out and the Broncos beating the Pats. We would take the division at 12-4 and host at least one home game in the playoffs (something that we haven’t seen since 2008) with a pretty good chance of getting a bye week.
I know the second scenario is a moonshot, but it’s been so long since taking the division was a possibility, it’s nice to dream happy thoughts for once 🙂
Our toughest games are at Baltimore, at Buffalo and home vs NE. I think we need to take at least two of those three games to get a shot at the playoffs, but with KC’s loss yesterday, I think we could lose two of the three and still have a chance.
Oh, I almost forgot to put my score prediction down. Miami 31 SF 16
https://twitter.com/MDCheer/status/800496634660462592
• The 6-4 Dolphins, winners of five straight, preventing the Patriots from clinching the division while New England trees still have leaves. Miami has a trustworthy late-game quarterback—finally—in Ryan Tannehill.

good read. thx
Vinnie,
love how you figured out how to “win the division”. LOL I did the same thing this morning. The kitchen floor has ankle deep kool aide right now.
At 1-4 who would have thought there was a 5 game winning streak in our future, maybe more. 🙂
Well MIke did predict us winning four games in a row, but that was when we were 1-3. He just started a week early.
You guys are ignoring a topic that is normally huge for this time of year
If the draft were held today we would be picking #19. You don’t get impact there. We only have so much time left to improve on that.
It was a great win. I hope the oline can get healthy quickly.
Albert on whether he could play next week..
———————–
““I’m not ruling it out. It’s week-by-week, day-by-day, and that’s all I’m concerned with.”
When asked for a time-frame, Albert responded: “Whenever I can start, have the strength in my hand. It could be this week, it could be next week. I’m trying to get back as fast as possible.”
Parker has officially arrived. The last drive he was awesome! Can’t wait to watch him make plays his whole career in Miami.
He is what he thought he would be…..until he wasn’t of course. 🙂
Tanny on the last two drives: 12 for 13 for 115 yards and two TDs.
And against a pretty good D.
And without his best three on the O-Line.
Has the man suddenly found “clutch”?
Or did Gase teach it to him?
YEa Gase has something to do with it. Philbin would have gotten queasy and puked.
Sure does sound like the QB Whisper thing was more than just a rumor created by Manning and Cutler.
I think Gase having Tannehill’s back and working with him instead of hanging him out to dry is a big part of it.
And I think part of working him is fitting the scheme to Tanny rather than trying to force Tanny into whatever scheme. Sorta like — oh my — the evil genius.
We were in FG range and could have played it safe and tied the game. Instead Gase goes with 5 wide and we go for the kill, score the TD and take the lead. Not sure we would have done that last year.
It did make sense. We weren’t going to run and even if Tanny gets sacked you still have a field goal. Only real risk was an INT. And props to Tanny for throwing one where there was not chance of that even if Parker doesn’t make the catch.
Yep!
Gase is clearly impacting Tanny’s game. His pocket presence is getting better, he’s hitting at a high level on downfield shots, and he’s money in the 4th quarter. It should only get better with time in this scheme. Injuries to the oline are our biggest worry going forward this year. Next year we shore up the LBs and DBs, and add some depth to the offense. This is the most exciting team we’ve had in a decade or more.
I wish the game was a little less exciting yesterday. (or rather a lot more exciting for the first 54 minutes and less exciting in the finial 6 minutes but we still get the win!)
I KNEW we were going to lose…..and then we didn’t!
I agree. We need defense and depth at oline. we can’t count on albert and pouncey and it seems even tunsil during the season.
The season started as another “same ole dolphins” and it’s gotten very exciting.
Isn’t it fun when your team pulls games out when they didn’t play particularly well most of the day in some phase – offense this time? This team is playing with a lot of confidence.
It’s really nice going to the bar for the game, and people actually paying attention to the Fins game because they have been so exciting, and not having people feel for sorry for me because I am a Fins fan..LOL
It seems lime Tannehill is “feeling” the pressure a little better and looking to run as well as pass when he is scrambling.
Yes, these past two games especially I’ve noticed him sliding up in the pocket more and running when he has to, but still LOOKING for that down field completion.
Some day I will have the feeling of confidence that we are going to win a game instead of the dread that we will do something to lose the game. These past 5 games have been a step in the right direction, but I still KNEW we were going to lose yesterday. I can’t wait until I KNOW we are going to win, even when we are down.
Lol, Rock. I KNEW we were going to lose too. We all probably did, because we’ve been dealing with that for YEARS. I stopped recording the game and deleted the recording a couple of minutes before they missed the FG. MY wife looked at me like I was crazy. I told her “we’re losing this game, and even if we somehow come back and win, I won’t rewatch the first 3/4 of this game anyway.” HAHA. Worked out beautifully. I have about 35 minutes of game recorded from the miss forward.
Has anyone heard anything regarding Dion Jordan? I’d love for him to not be a complete bust.
I saw pictures of him rehabbing. He’s being kept for next year I think.
Yesterday’s win was really satisfying. When you can win a game on the road when you really didn’t play well but you made the clutch plays when it mattered most. That is the type of win that resonates with the team. This is not the same old Dolphins any more.
Agreed!
With 6 minutes left and NO POINTS on the board we got the ball and I KNEW we were going to have a false start or holding penalty to stall the drive. I KNEW we were going to drop the pass or give up a sack to stall the drive. I KNEW Tannehill would throw a Pick. But he didn’t. Then with 4 mins left I KNEW the defense was going to give up enough for the Rams to get a couple of first downs to kill the game. When they didn’t and we got the ball back I KNEW one of the drive stalling things listed above on offense were going to happen. But they didn’t.
I CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL WE EXPECT TO WIN THESE KINDS OF GAMES!
Tim,
It’s an absolute blast. I really am excited for the future of this team. It feels like we may actually be building something, and it isn’t just another stupid paper tiger.
Finally! 🙂
‘Has the man suddenly found “clutch”?
Or did Gase teach it to him?’
neither, lauren told him to step it up or that ffr guy is started to look real appealing
Awesome!! I’m watching the Gase press conference, and a reporter asks him if he trusts Ryan Tannehill in the 4th QTR, and he basically berates the reporter, saying we’re in 2 different places. I trust him, and he’s given me no reason not to trust him, but it seems like you don’t trust him, and trust his skills, so I’m glad you’re not in the personnel department. LMAO!! Go Gase!!!
Yeah he’s also commented on how he was told Tannehill can’t throw a deep ball and he’s never understood it.
Awesome 👍
Somewhere Omar is pouting
He’s actually giving RT and the team props.
While pouting
No way!
Dude says it like it is. No attitude and very little spin, least when he is talking about the team and him.
My reply was because nothing showed up in Mike’s post. It’s blank. LOL
From an LA times beat reporter……we might not have much home field crowd advantage, but seems we do darn well on the road.
———————
Fans in Dolphins jerseys were prevalent at tailgates, in the concourse around the stadium and in the stands.
In the fourth quarter, there was a loud cheer, one of the loudest of the day. It came from Dolphins fans inciting their team’s defense to stop the Rams. It worked.
First Update
DOLPHINS-49’ERS
Rhino 27-17 MIA
Piggy 42-10 MIA
Vinn 31-16 MIA
GO PHINS!!!
Just 1 game out of the wild card with 6 games to go. My God even I am starting to think playoffs
This team really has a different feel to it, and it starts with the coach for me…..just watching his press conferences….he is really impressive : genuine, has his players backs, and points out issues…I love this guy right now!
Bookman — loving me some Gase as well. And just this season, but for the future.
Am I the only one that when they see young Adam thinks……..?
It looks like Ross got this one right….let’s hope it continues….
by “this one” I mean Gase, not the guy above…LOL
Who is that?
Theo Epstein.
One of the brightest minds in all of baseball.
Stanger, if Gase as a coach has as much success as Epstein has had as a baseball executive, I will die a very happy Dolphins fan.
Oh okay.
And Vinnie check out the two pics. Not only are they young and smart…..they have the same ears.
bookman — as will I but, but started hoping he would be a young Shula (who had some success)……but don’t think he is that at all. My comparison right now.
I am really starting to love Coach Gase
• Even with Miami down 10-7, Gase said he was thinking only touchdown on the last drive. “That game wasn’t going to overtime. It was either going to be a pick or a touchdown.”
Where did that philosophy come from? “Being under Steve Mariucci. I wasn’t involved as much. Spending three years with [Mike] Martz was a great thing that could happen for me. I don’t know if you could have had a better mentor than what I had, learn from a guy that was about going to win the game, not playing not to lose.”
Yep, I think last year we kick the FG and go for the tie.
• On Dion Sims’ pass protection: “Anytime you got a tight end that basically you feel good enough to go one on one vs a defensive end, that’s a pretty rare thing to have. I don’t know if I had too many tight ends that have been able to do that. The last guy actually I can think of that I felt really comfortable winning one-on-one was Dan Campbell. It helped us being able to double some of those inside guys.”
Dan Campell played under Adam Gase???????
When he was an asst. coach in DET with Mariucci.
Learn something every day!
Man I wish we would lose a game already so the blog will pick up………
HA! Just kidding. I will live with slow blog days as long as we keep winning!
I noticed that in the 3rd quarter yesterday the Draft talk started. It seemed to die off after we won!
With 19 rushing yards against the Rams on Sunday, including a 10-yard scramble in the third quarter, Ryan Tannehill became the Dolphins’ all-time leader in that department among quarterbacks.
Tannehill now has 1,011 yards on the ground, moving him just ahead of Bob Griese’s 994. Tannehill hit that number in a mere 74 games, compared to Griese doing it in 161, and is averaging five yards per carry for his career.
Now all he needs to do is break Marino’s passing records oh wait a minute
I have never been so happy about a 14-10 win in all my life
When good teams win games like this they walk away saying hey we got the W. Stats and all that other stuff aren’t important. Move onto the next game and try to clean up some things and play better.
(A buzzing sound streaks by the blog)
Wooooooohoooooooooooooo…..
OINK!
(the buzzing sounds flies away)
Some statistical talking points for the Tannehaters
Ryan Tannehill is not in the same arena as the great Dan Marino,however after seeing that Tannehill has become the all time leader in rushing for a Dolphins QB I went back and looked at some other stats just out of interest.
Dan Marino in his 17 year long career had only 372 passes longer than 20 yards Ryan has 214 in almost 5 years. Dan had 61 passes longer than 40 yards. Ryan already has 38.
Dan’s career passer rating 86.4
Ryan’s passer rating 85.9 (and rising)
Dan completed 59.4 % of his passes
Ryan completed 62.4% of his passes
“But, but Dan aired it out”
Dan’s yards per pass attempt – 7.3
Ryan’s yards per pass attempt 7.0
They have both averaged 34.5 passes per game.
These statistical anomalies brought to you by Homeraide. When getting drunk is just not enough. Homeaide
http://www.nfl.com/player/danmarino/2501869/careerstats
Of course Dan the man was only sacked 270 times in 17 years. Tannehill has been sacked 208 times in less than 5 years..
Dan Marino averaged 1.04 interceptions per game
Ryan Tannehill averages .837 interceptions per game
Here is the big difference
Dan threw 1.735 TD’s per game
Ryan throws 1.33 TD’s per game
Hard to compare numbers when the league is shifting to an offensive friendly rule set.
Yesterday Miami’s 5.2 yards per carry seems impressive, but it was Miami’s worst rushing performance in five games.
Your avatar is the same as the screen saver on my phone
If Marino were playing in this league, his numbers would look more impressive (less INTs, more total yards, more TDs, higher completion %). You cannot touch receivers without getting a flag thrown your way. You also cannot hit QBs like you were able to back then. Almost every rule heavily favors offensive output because that’s what attracts the fans. Marino was ahead of his time in terms of offensive output. He set the standard for what is meant to be a QB. There’s not a doubt in my mind that if Marino was placed in this league he’d average 5,000 yards and 40 TDs a single. He’d make Tannehill, and just about any QB playing, pedestrian at best.
a season*
If Marino played in this era
he would would have been the first NFL Player to pass for more yards than there are people in China
So true
I would actually say Fouts set the standard and Marino the 2.0 version of him, but agreed.
Rock was having fun more than anything though. Even if there was a legit point…….am thinking it was more aimed at all those folks who have been bashing Tanny over the years.
It wasn’t aimed at anyone. (unless you are an admitted Tannehater)
I just found the comparison interesting once I saw he had set the franchise record for running as a QB.
And STAT wise (I know different eras) Fouts does not stand up to EITHER Dan or Ryan.
15 SEASONS
43,040 YARDS
254 TDS
6 PRO BOWLS
HALL OF FAME
—————
Fouts revolutionized the game. But you are right about different eras, including that comparing him to Tanny as of now is just a stat thing.
Here is to hoping that Tannehill beats Danny in the most important stat…..SUPERBOWL WINS!
agreed
Life is so much better when the phins are winning 🙂 lets keep it going!
What?
Did you say something
I’ve been oblivious to everything else around me for a few weeks now
Howie
MIA 27 – SF 17
Oops, Rhino already has that. Throw in a Franks FG to make it
MIA 30 – SF 17
EXTRA FRANKS!!!
Who do we root against tonight?
I think we have to root against the AFC West teams
Houston can win the AFC South even if they lose
if one of the AFC West teams gets 6 or 7 losses before the end of the season
that’s our window to get in to the postseason
I gotta root for the Raiders. My feeling is knock down the teams closest to us in record, which would mean Texans would then be 6-4 too. The loss would give them a 4-3 conference record, ours is 5-3 now.
What fer?
substance abuse of some kind
I don’t k now what
I don’t even care
I have not even noticed him on the field
I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets cut for this.
LMAO!!!!
Piggy
Do you agree with what I said about the Texans, or do you still think want the Raiders to lose?
No
I think chances are an AFC West team is the spoiler for all the bubble teams trying to get into the playoffs
So I think we need to root against AFC West teams
if they start losing now and they are all 7-3
well that can easily grow to 3 losses (when they play each other) and then if we can slip in as a wildcard
KC losing yesterday was great for us
IMO we need to root against each of the 3 afc west teams (and new England as usual) each week
I don’t know that more than 1 team will make it out of the AFC North or South when push comes to shove
I can see that, but I think the Raiders will run away with the division, which would leave the Chiefs and Broncos. I was thinking before yesterday it could be us and the Chiefs as wildcards, I think the Broncos are going to fall. We need at least one of the AFC West teams to lose, but I think the Raiders are going to win 12, maybe 13.
Well I am thinking 4 TDs 1 FG and a Safety

Ajayi with an 11 yard TD run on first offensive e play from scrimmage
14-0 Dolphins
We kickoff again. Touchback
Colin Kaepernick is sacked on the next three plays before the 49ers punt
The punt goes out of bounds at the Dolphins 40
Next play is a 60 yard TD pass to DeVante Parker
21-0 Dolphins
We kick off again. Another Touchback.
Colin Kaepernick throws a bomb on 2nd and 10 (no gain Carlos Hyde on 1st down)
its intercepted by Tony Lippett at the Dolphin 15 yard

28-0 Dolphins
Another touchback on the kickoff
two more sacks and then a draw play for no gain on 3d down
punt to Grant who takes it to the Dolphins 46 yard line

Halftime
during halftime the 49ers stay on the field
they drive to FG range with no defense on the other side
35-3 Dolphins
its not legal but we agree to let them keep it
first defensive play of the 3rd qtr is a Kiko Alonzo interception.
he laterals to Cam Wake – who goes 10 yards upfield
then he laterals to Suh who goes another 10 yards.
after 8 more laterals to guaranty that everyone on defense touches the ball
Maxwell walks it in for a TD
42-3 Dolphins
A lot of punts and Colin Kaepernick pouting follows
During a sideline interview Colin Kaepernick admits that he believes an “I voted” sticker would slow him down
Eventually Ajayi has another long TD run
56-3 Dolphins
NO – Dolphins have mercy and agree to give the TD to the 49ers
42-10 Dolphins
the game ends with 11 49ers jumping off a bridge
GO DOLPHINS!
Jones’ suspension is due to a DUI.
How the hell did he get a DUI so fast?
Must have got drunk on the plane and got caught driving to the tittie bar at 7 in the morning
It was several weeks ago I think.
666 posts. I had to add one.
In other words, though he may never be considered among the league’s elite quarterbacks, he has the capability of being an elite game manager. For the Dolphins, that may be just what they need.
That is from the Palm Beach Post. LOL @ Elite Game Manager.
We need the Broncos to beat the patsies* when they play them later, but this weekend our biggest helpful teams are the Panthers beating the Raiders and the jests beating the Cheats.
Also, We want the Bears to beat the Titans and the Jags to beat the Bills because they are our nearest competition from behind us.
The bengals-Ravens and Colts-Steelers games help us no matter who wins. Same with the Broncos-Chiefs.
Go Dolphins.
‘In other words, though he may never be considered among the league’s elite quarterbacks, he has the capability of being an elite game manager.’
i guess in todays day and age labeling someone is the norm. i dont get it, i dont see a need to label him as elite or a game manager. to me he is just who he is. but since we need a label i will just label him as ‘that qb with the hot wife’
Great post

one doesnt. if needing other teams to get yours in the playoffs then you team sucks.
Doesn’t that make watching the game pointless
I know this is heresy, but I do not think Marino would be getting 5000 yds and 50 TDs in today’s NFL. Nowadays, the pass rush is so fierce that immobile QBs like Marino get eaten up. Today’s QBs must be far more athletic to be able to scramble out of trouble on almost any play. Brady and Peyton are the last of the “pure passers” type and even they had to tuck and run at times in the last few years.
What an awesome game Piggy! That was as good as the Texans Fest game.
Okay Piggy
The first part sounds pretty good but the second part reminds me of old TV shows when they run out of things to write about
Like when Dan had a heart attack and then they won the Lotto or when Oliver joined the Brady Bunch, how redicoulus.
I mean Wake and Suh both getting the latteral on the same play then advancing the ball 16 yards, come on…
It’s wasn’t just wake and Suh getting a lateral
It was even member of the defense touching the ball before the defensive TD
I just could not decide who to credit
So give it to all of them
More realistic now?😝
naples,
i so disagree with that about marino. one of his best thing about him was his ability to read a defense and get rid of the ball fast. i for one think in todays nfl he would throw for 7000 yards and 60tds.
i was just talking about this with my son yesterday and looking at stats. in 2011 there were 3 qb’s that threw for over 5k and one at 4900. marino reached 5k 27 years before that. i dont doubt in todays nfl he would reach 5k year in and year out.
Marino especially a young Marino was not exactly immobile. He was very mobile in the pocket. He had great feet. He stepped up so well and had a great hop step and slide step. He was not a scrambler but he was mobile

Jones DUI was in the offseason. It had to play out legally before the NFL acted with their penalty.
How many games is Jones suspended for ?

Thanks Piggy
Watched the TD pass to Parker again. Man that was a perfect pass
Watching Osweiller makes me appreciate Tannehill even more

It’s basically the same
But no rain this weekend
I don’t know why any of us care if we have an elite game manager or elite qb
Except that the phrase elite game manager sounds a bit like an oxymoron
But who cares what some one calls Tannehill
We are winning
Did the Tannehill contraversy shift from
He’s great vs he sucks
To
Elite qb vs elite game manager
I suspect there will be less debate on the later
The labels don’t matter the only question is can he lead this team and right now he is
i just think elite game manager is kinda funny
We are winning
Nothing else matters
I agree I think it is a silly label. Right Tannehill is playing well at QB
Let’s go Texans !
Osweiller is terrible
Texans D looks good
My God Osweiller sucks
I need some sleep. I am out. Peace

Doesn’t that make watching the game pointless
aahhhh no. it may make watching other games pointless. but come on piggy, we all know if you need your team to get into the playoffs cause what other teams do it means your team kind of sucks
for ever every one here wanted tanny to be something he isnt. now this team is winning and not because of him but rather the rest of the team stepped it up some. that in my humble opinion is how a team wins. it is never about one player. but then again i have a green fucking hulk chained in my basement what the hell do i know.
The narrative: We won because of the way Tannehill played in the final 6 minutes of the game. Pay no attention to the way he played the first 54 minutes.
Because the narrative is, it wasn’t HIS fault we couldn’t move the ball for 54 minutes but it was HIM who moved the ball in the final 6 minutes.
Ryan Tannehill is SHIT without Adam Gase. It’s Gase that’s making the difference with this team. Without Gase, this team loses these games just like it always has. He’s a young Don Shula and he finds ways to win games the team would have lost in the past; games where we are down 3 starting offensive linemen.
Lou,
why does that matter. is you hatred to bad at t hill you cant enjoy they are winning. yeah t hill is not the reason they are winning, he is just an average qb that needs a team around him to win. i will never get why others hate him so much for not being something he will never be. he is what he is. why all the hate when this team is winning. it is just you cant be happy if the team doent have one of those elite qb’s. kind of like the 4-6 packers have with an elite qb. i guess you would be more happy with a losing team and an elite qb.
i will never just understand the thing that an elite qb makes one happy no matter the team
It has nothing to do with not being happy about the team not having an elite qb. I can care less if the team has one as long as we are winning.
Winning games is the most important thing. I’m thrilled we are winning and enjoying it immensely. I’ve accepted the fact a long time ago that Tannehill is average at best and needs a full team around him to win.
It was ME who said, when we start to win it’s going to have more to do with the people around him than him.
My post wasn’t about not being happy with winning. I was commenting on the narrative that a lot of people use when we pull off a game like we just did.

You meanbwithbtwo nearly peftect drives for touch downs with under 6 mins to play? Or three previous come-from-behind victories in the fourth quarter? The TEAM played well enough to win five in a row and Ryan Tannehill performance was a big part of those wins. You can pout for the rest of the year about your being wrong but that won’t change fact that Ryan Tannehill is playing very good football when it counts.
Playing well when it counts. The entire 60 minutes counts. The win was a team effort. The entire offense stepped up in those last 6 minutes. Once again, if it weren’t for the way HE played earlier in the game the team never would have been down 10-0. But, yeah, it wasn’t Tannehill’s fault the offense couldn’t move the ball despite:
overthrowing a wide open Parker after Ajayi’s long run that put us at the Ram’s 22
overthrowing Still that almost result in a interception if not for Stills knocking the ball out
overthrowing Parker and being intercepted in the endzone.
unable to convert third downs until the last 6 minutes.
we won the game and that’s a good thing but Tannehill doesn’t deserve the credit because he’s the reason we were losing. If anyone on offense deserves the credit it’s the guys who pushed Landry in the endzone and Parker, who had to go low on several passes and make some really good catches to keep the drive alive and win the game with his td catch.
FUCK RYAN TANNEHILL. He’s SHIT without Adam Gase.
By the way, I’m not wrong about Tannehill. I said that if the offense was going to be successful it would have less to do with him and more to do with the people around him. Kenny Stills making a diving catch to keep the chains moving. DeVante Parker making three diving catches including the game winning td catch, The TEAM playing together and pushing Landry into the EZ for the td. Gase’s play calling on the last drive.
We won the last game because of Alonso’s int. The one before that on Drake’s KR. Won two others riding Ajayi’s back. So, your narrative that Tannehill has had a lot to do with us winning games is incorrect.
It’s a complete team effort and, if anything, the reason we’re winning is because Gase is keeping him from fucking things up.
