I didn't understand that one either. The pass looked complete. Once we took the penalty I assumed it was incomplete. I expected quite a bit of conversation about it here. I still have the tape but haven't looked at it.
Anyway, IMO exercises like this are mostly silly. For a game or two I like to look at every play among newcomers or guys I'm not familiar with. Once it's a known quantity it's more of an excuse making process. Remember when Spielman bragged that he went back and watched every play from A.J. Feeley? I wanted to scream. Spielman was adjusting and rationalizing instead of recognizing the bottom line. If Tannehill were a special player we wouldn't be scrutinizing every play from his 3rd year as NFL starter.
There were drops the first two weeks. More than an acceptable number and not fair to Tannehill. He's not terrible. That's the problem. We'll probably get stuck with a contract extension for a guy who stays and teases in this range. I hope Hickey is wise and forceful enough not to fall for it, to at least bring in competition.
I'll stick with what I posted prior to the season, that we need Tannehill to sprint decisively in one direction or another. Instead, he's managing the worst possible course, loitering in the middle and inspiring threads like this.
Maybe against non-divisional foes he'll break out. That can happen after so many divisional games dating to late last season.
