Inaccurate Tannehill with 14 straight completions

The guy had ALL DAY...

Couple of take-aways...The Pats also didn't pressure the QB much, and Pats did allow pressure from the Raiders. The Pats line on both sides of the ball really aren't very good this year. This is going to be real problem for them this year.
 
Does Lazor have no faith in the deep ball anymore? Not a single deep shot to Wallace on a wounded raiders team. Found that to be interesting. It appears that finally we may be playing into Tannehills strengths by shortening the field? Not sure eliminating the Wallace deep element is a good thing or not but it worked today.
 
He played very well today, let's hope it continues
 
Bill Cowher today said he thinks the dolphins could be like Eli and the Giants where they are just trying to put it all together. well, I will take what cowher says over anyone else.

He was right on today.

I agree about the Pats. Tannehill did have some respectable time to throw today, but no more than most successful QB's. He made the most of his opportunities today. No QB is successful without a little time in the pocket.

I don't think that the deep game has been abandoned, but Lazer knows that isn't the strength of this offense. I believe after a week of killing the confidence of the young QB, Lazer decided to institute a confidence boosting offense playing to Tannehill's strengths and was rewarded with a win.

This team needs an identity on offense and today may have finally established one. I am sure deep play's will come, but I can live with 18 yard chunks in the passing game with solid running as a primary attack. Also, the biggest change in the offense today was not trying to force it to Wallace every down. Spreading the ball around is better for everyone, and everyone today made the most of it. Forcing the ball to Wallace has been the kiss of death more often than not, but he was used well today.

I must give kudos to Wallace for playing so much tougher this year. I have been a detractor in the past, and while I still wish he had better hands, his toughness and effort have been so much better this year he has become a bright spot on the team.

Good post
 
now lets see if he can do it for more than just one game.

against a better team.

a win is a win, i will take it, but, lets see him have this sort of accuracy for long stretches and not just MAYBE 1 or two games a year.

a good team is SUPPOSED to trounce bad teams. we did that. however, when we face even decent teams and can only score 10-17 points and lose, you have to question

i dont think tannehill is consistent enough or has the nad to gun down teams when the clock is running out and its all on the line.

I agree that he has to be consistent, but I don't think he has a courage or leadership issue when the game is on the line. I remember last year's last minute win over Atlanta in which he was fantastic. The whole team needs to step up in those situations, not just Tannehill. I realize the QB gets disproportionate blame and praise, but he can't be targeted as the sole issue, when those losses are more representative of whole team collapses.

I think Wallace having hammy issues is another reason why we didn't take any deep shots.
