Hoops scoops...season imploding Mia buffalo

[JakeMcAwful]

You mean the one he put it in? :unsure:

Only seven of those points came off Tannehill. The other touchdown was largely helped by that terrible punt penalty by Don Jones, giving them the 40 extra yards. Didn't that come up in the stats?

I suppose you didn't think we were going to score a single point on the drive in which the INT was thrown on the goal line?

Didn't see the game. Going to watch it tomorrow night.

How did Reshad Jones, Clemons and our DBs do?


How did The WR corp and Clay do?

don't bother. go take a **** in the toilet and look at it before you flush it. you'll probably be less digusted.

Wrs are solid...qb doesn't have time...can't let thing develop down field minus improv...jones is missing more tackles than last year Clemons is the same guy he's been...

Sorry to cross post this in two threads, but for what it's worth the Dolphins wide receivers agree with you, hoops.

'Brian Hartline said the fear of sacks is affecting Tannehill and the receivers. He said they all have “ticking clocks” in their head and are rushing plays.'

The ultimate slap in the face for this OL that I haven't seen mentioned yet is........ On the last play of the game.......The Hail Mary...... Tannehill had to escape 3 different tackles just to get the pass off. How is that ****ing possible? The Bills rushed 4 but everyone else on their team was in the end zone including their water boys. How does a QB have to play Houdini and escape 3 tackles on a Hail Mary?

yeah tannehill finally put in a little jab about the protection in a indirect way when he said had he had another half a second it would have never happened...ie the sack forced fumble

must have known where he was going with the ball and that it was gonna be open if it had time to develop

The Hail Mary play was pathetic, but it's nothing new. Ryan Tannehill's jersey was stained with grass and dirt after the first 3 snap series. Is it because he tried to make a tackle on the pick six? Nope. It's because Jon Martin's man put him on his ass as he was releasing the football. Along with pretty much everyone, I demand better play from our QB, but let's call it like it is. The inability to pass block is completely unraveling our offense.

He wasn't open on the replay that I saw, but an incomplete pass is still a hell of a lot better than a strip sack.

watching the colts..jesus christ we should've tanked our season for Luck. Seeing him and Manning is like night and day compared to Tannehill. So much pocket awareness/presence and both know how to avoid the sack.

Did you miss Luck throw a pass directly into the hands of a MLB? It can happen to anyone even the gods of Luck and Peyton

But I thought Ireland was dead on lately? At least that is what I have read around here. It cracks me up. All we heard from those "in the know" was about the skill players. Get the skill players and that's all it takes to win the in NFL in the current passing era. Average oline will get you there. I guess what they are forgetting is that you need an upper echelon qb to win with that and those qb's are once in a decade normally.

I am not sure exactly what we need to do and we have plenty of football left but if we keep losing and it gets ugly, it may be time to have a fire sale and start over. I am not really sold on Mike Wallace anymore either. There is no chemistry between him and Tannehill and Wallace is route lazy at times. Of course this is a function of the poor oline play and crap play calling as well Tannehill trying not to die on the field. Too many variables to point out one single root cause, however I agree that our defense is not as people were advertising.

#1 -- On need for skill players: What skill players did Miami get? One. Wallace. And a potential skill player in Jordan -- a DEVELOPMENTAL skill player. Other than that Miami signed two mediocre possession WRs. And one less-than-mediocre right tackle. So that argument still holds: Miami needs skill players desperately, across the board. Got ONE skill player on offense (Wallace) and gave up ONE (Bush) for a net of zero, all while regressing on the OL.

#2 -- On an average OL getting us there: Since when has this line played average? It's been below average from day one. So that argument STILL holds. Even w. needing more skill players on offense, if this OL had played even AVERAGE we'd be 5-1.

So far from being proof against these claims, all this just proves the point: 1. Miami needs more skill players. And 2. Miami needs an OL to at least play average.

Give us that, and have Tanny still healthy, and its playoff time in Miami.

Yea, the mighty Peyton fumbled the ball in the endzone for a safety. If your line gives you no time to do anything including react, bad things will happen, even to the most cerebral of QBs.

This Buff game was Miami's Tennessee game last year.

 

[Phinatic8u]

I'm calling it..if this team had better protection we would be 5-1...

No doubt about it in my mind.

Wrong as usual! The sack fumble should never happened but not for the short sighted reasons you'd believe. No it was your beloved Sherman's inexcusable play calling. Why not run the ball to kill the clock? We had been successful all day and at worst we waste all their timeouts and pin them deep. No he had to get cute, even though Clabo was blown up on the previous "drive." Time to step away from that über conservative thinking and, as you'd put it, get real.

Too bad Sherman did call a run. Your boy Ryan Runofthemill changed it to a pass.

I of course have no problem with the play call though. Just the execution. Make a different excuse.

 

[WVDolphan]

I think shouright is somewhat too dismissive about how bad the oline is, but he is absolutely correct about the game Tannehill played. Everyone wants to pin the game one the sack/fumble that finally broke our backs, but doing that ignores the buildup to that point which included scores of Tannehill mistakes that were the reason it was even that close of a game. And many of those mistakes were made in clean pockets. Even on that sack which was Clabo's fault, Tannehill still doesnt have to fumble the damn ball. He fumbles about 6 or 8 times a game it seems.

Someone making sense in this thread. Refreshing.
