People like big splashy plays like the Marino years but fail to realize we won both super bowls with a slow moving ball control offense and great defense.

he looked fine executing the plays that were called.
i didn't see anything that looked like he was a world beater QB.
It's so soon to tell. I think that system will continue to evolve around Jones and what he does well.
The question will be: As teams see what Jones and NE are bringing to the table, will he be able to defeat what they throw at him, now that defenses will have an idea what is coming?
Unlike Herbert, who has all the physical ability, can Jones raise his game?
I think that is part of what made yesterday's win so good....we did not have any true game film on Jones.

Phin fans shouldn't be disgruntled by the win yesterday, but enjoy it especially when it is against a divisional opponent like the Patriots on their home turf. There are some concerns, but hopefully Flores will clean them up. Ignore the Tua haters, his play will eventually shut them up.

i totally agree.
but getting the ball out of your hands in .0000000009 milliseconds against a team that isn't really known for its dominant pass rush, and ultimately scoring one touchdown at home does not really merit the hyperbole that is out there at this point.
I just wish we had Mac Jones so that our OL could have blocked better. He would have been dodging pass rushers like Neo in the Matrix.

if they had our OLine Mac Jones is never named the starter.
maybe when Tua wins a SB they will be happy..
Not if he doesn't win by 150 points and throw for half a million yards.

When your team is outplayed the way ours was but squeaked out thankfully cause of turnovers…. It’s a cause for concern. This against a team playing a rookie QB with a cast off in Nelson agholor as their #1 WR and a bunch nobody’s along side him. That said rookie QB marched up and down the field
To the tune of almost doubling our time of possession. This offense still has a below average Oline, can’t stop opposing QBs passing attack, and still have a bend but not break philosophy while hoping to create turnovers as the only way to stop the opposition from scoring at least a FG.
listen I’m as big a Fins fan as anyone on this board but you guys have to admit, seeing the game plan for our defense which clearly was a let’s create pressure while allowing cusion to their WRs was ridiculous. Yes I get the pressure aspect especially against a rookie QB but to be forcing quick throws with a rush but giving 10 yards of cushion to allow quick completions was annoying. If you’re trying to create pressure then play up on their WR!!! Bump and run. Don’t allow them to just freely run a route and pitch and catch up and down the field. We paid top dollar for 2 corners and we won’t even allow them to play up in tight coverage.
idk if any of you watched that Rams game but Ramsey is an absolute beast and is playing free all around that defense. I love X but it looks as if he can’t even hold Ramsey’s jock strap. It’s coaching IMO. Let’s X roam. Don’t force him to one side of the field and allow the opposing offense to game plan around him.

Miami had the #1 ranked offense in 1972 with 27.5 ppg and #5 ranked offense in 1973 with 24.5 ppg.
I agree. Jones is getting a lot of love and attention for only scoring 16 points.
He showed promise, but he is not a physical specimen- (Colin Cowherd might say he has no dominant physical trait) so I am dying to see his progress.
Don't you bring facts into this, do you know where you're at?
