Happy to say... I was wrong, we have a qb

[J. David Wannyheimer]

Actually Tannehill led Texas A&M back in the 4th quarter a number of times...the issue was that the defense at Texas A&M was awful and gave up leads all the time. You can only bring a team back so many times.

I'm not sure how many 4th quarter come backs Tannehill has as a Dolphin...I think he had 1 or 2 last year and he's got the Atlanta game and the Pats game this year...might be 1 more. I know he led us to the game tying FG against Cincy to send it into OT, actually we were losing against the Steelers when he scored the go ahead TD with 2:53 left on the clock, then we added a FG. Pretty sure the one last year was Seattle.

He has 4. One last year and three this year. Pro Football Reference tracks them -- in fact the guy who tracks them for PFR debunked a lot of the bogus "4th quarter comeback" and "Game Winning Drives" stats that teams put out to prop up their guys. He discovered that like the only guy who didn't have grossly inflated numbers was the REAL man, Dan Marino.

Welcome aboard the Tannehill bandwagon.

That win vs. the Falcons doesn't amount to much. They were hit seriously by the injury bug, didn't even have Julio Jones and Roddy White playing at 100%. They are a bad team this year, nothing they did in 2012 has any effect on that.

This win vs. the Pats is paramount. We traditionally get embarrassed in games like this so for Tanny to step up, it's just monumental in the scheme of things.

Ya, they were eating us alive with a long field because of injuries in our secondary.

No both Roddy and Julio played against us. It was a very impressive win at the time, and had Julio and Roddy stayed healthy all year, I have no doubt Atlanta would have been competing for a playoff spot again.
