First lets talk about all of these FAST receivers we have that will be a nightmare for opposing defenses that I heard about all week... Being fast is one thing... being able to get open is something totally different.

I watched an undrafted Free Agent CB run step for step with one of our fasted and best deep threat receivers Kenny Stills. AN UNDRAFTED ROOKIE FA....

I watched our other FAST receivers fail to get separation in 6 quarters over the last two games. Today the offensive line passed blocked pretty well and Tannehill had plenty of time to throw but no one was open.

Say what you want about Landry... yes he was slow.. but he could get open which is just as important if not more so than being fast.

Secondly,

The more we put of film, the less we will be able to scheme our way to wins like we did last week, and our players will have to win their one on one matchups. If they can't do that consistently, teams will simply man up on the outsides, stack the box to take away the run game, and force Tannehill and our Receivers to bet them.. Lets see how this develops over the next few weeks.
 
Run game has been bad and affected by Oline injuries. Without a running game we have no chance to pass or play good defense.
 
Tannehill was awful today. The stage was too big for him, I would like to see his career stats for nationally televised games. The bigger the lights the worse Tannehill plays. It's happened his entire career.

7 years of this garbage. You have to wonder how many more years we will have to endure this.
 
I have always been at Tannehill apologist but I'm starting to see that. I think I was blind from some of the things he does well and knowing he has had horrible offensive line play.

He rarely takes the team on his back and goes for the jugular and doesn't have the big play in big moment magic like some of the quarterbacks out there have. 4 God's sake does he ever take a shot past the sticks on a third-and-long.

You're right. The only thing you can take from today is the play from the quarterback.

He had a bad game. But so did Drake. So did Wilson. So did the corpses we have at tight end. So did Howard. So did the defensive line.

Miami had 7 yards rushing at halftime.

New England was literally playing 6 and 7 DBs because they knew they could control the line of scrimmage with just 4 or 5 people.

This is what I’ve been saying for years.

But we get blinded by one yard shovel passes and a 128 QBR last week. We get blinded by short fields the first three weeks and a 3-0 record.

RT can look very good at times. It’s usually at home if at all. If it’s on the road it’s against poor teams. It’s never on a big stage.

Just a miserable showing today. Among many others we’ve seen. When will he step up at big moments consistently?
 
Well then as leader of the offense he should have been throwing a Brady on the sidelines instead of going along with the gong show routine of play-calling no?
 
If this type of day wasn't t the norm in big spots for us I wouldn't really be too upset and just shrug it off. But I really feel four games into the season it's the same old dolphins. We still have a crappy line, still have crappy play calling, we failed to take advantage of other team's weaknesses, failed to be prepared in a game that should be full of passion, and laywd a huge egg once again when we could have took a commanding lead.
THill isn't to be blamed 100% he is what he is. He'll never make the Pro Bowl not even sure he ever made offensive player of the week but the blame is to be shared.
 
Bigger question, did New England just give the blue print for beating us to the entire league? Stop the run, make Tannehill beat you and pound the rock down the middle of our defense and open up the deep play action passes.

We have one of the best secondarys in the NFL but they can't perform at their potential If they are gassed from being of the field for 70% of the game.

So when was the last time we were 3-1? When was the last time we had a QB that was even for one week top 5? When was the last time even with big injuries, the team continued to win? But your right, he's no Guru, he's not that good a HC.

Just amazing how quickly some fans turn around here...especially when we are still 3-1, in fist place, and still in control of our destiny.
