Lost in the loss- Tannehill's 2nd Half

[Daytona Fin]

The Dolphins nearly made history Sunday.The biggest comeback in franchise history is 24 points (against the Patriots in 1974). They trailed New England by 28 in the third quarter, yet had a shot to tie the game on the final play before falling just short.
Ryan Tannehill led the rally. In the second half, Tannehill was, as Jordan Cameron put it, “awesome.”
The proof? Tannehill had 273 of his 389 passing yards, plus both of his touchdown passes, after intermission.
“The guys were giving me time to get through my reads,” Tannehill said. “The receivers were getting open and we were making a few plays. That’s what we needed. ... You obviously don’t want to be [down 31-3], but I saw a lot of toughness, a lot of resilience from our guys [they] were hanging in there and just chipping away one play at a time and we got ourselves back in it for a shot at the end.”

“We just got the first down,” Tannehill said is what sparked the rally. “That’s the biggest key [when] we can get the first first down we can get rolling and we didn't really do that in the first half. We kept getting close and didn't get it or [got] going and had a turnover or got going and had an interception before half. So, it’s a matter of taking care of the football and getting that first, first down. Once we get going, we are pretty good at staying on the move and keeping the chains moving.

“We get a lot of practice at a no-huddle offense,” Tannehill said. “It’s kind of what we are. We have the ability to go huddle or no-huddle and we kind of got the pressure on them. We kind of got them on their heels a little bit and we were moving the football, tiring out the pass rush and that’s when we saw us moving the ball.”

I really enjoyed the 2nd half, my wife, not so much.... I didnt expect us to win and after the **** show 1st half, I couldnt have asked for a better 2nd except for the fact that we came up a tad short there...it really stings that the D couldnt capitalize on the 3rd string QB but all in all, its a work in progress, like expected...

Excellent second half. Now keep it going next week at Hard Rock :brewskis:


Hey not many expected to win these first two games and the fact they made both competitive and had a chance to win both at the very least says our team is playing hard and has a decent chance to win each week. I'll take that for now and hope Gase gets this thing going in the right direction.

Yup! Now if they lose to CLE, Im getting banned

Well as a fan I hope this gets us rolling on offense now. They know it can work so maybe they have confidence and momentum on offense.

Otherwise it's just a moral victory and a meaningless stat in a loss.

They easily could have laid down the second half and moved into next week but they made it a game. 0-2 isn't the end of the world

Agree 100%, and D needs to get its shot together, cant give up 31 points on the road and expect a win...

This mean nothing at all in the NFL.....

I can't believe you dudes do this to yourselves. Time and time again. It's like battered wife syndrome at this point. You fall for Ryan Tannehill's, for what I like to call, "fake hustle" every time. Thinking it's going to be some trend. And it almost never is. It's incredible.

 

[Tiko377]

meh. expected more of him in the 1st half. we saw that 2nd half trend of the offense 2 years ago.

 

[Despacio]

I was surpised by Tannehills interception. Throwing off the backfoot like that is not one of his usual weaknesses. Tanehill isnt perfect but outright dumb INT's are not his forte.

 

[dolphintodd]

second half = garbage time

 

[Phinatic8u]

second half = garbage time

Is it?

The patriots weren't still pressing and sending double a gap blitzes? Do you know what a double a gap blitz is?

Jets last year was garbage time, they were playing soft and off. Patriots were not. Used the same coverage concepts they had used all game.

It’ll go largely forgotten, but it shouldn’t: the Dolphins were only in the game late against the Patriots because Ryan Tannehill willed it to be so.

Ryan Tannehill led the rally. In the second half, Tannehill was, as Jordan Cameron put it, “awesome.”

In typical Tannehill fashion, he gives credit to others.

“The guys were giving me time to get through my reads,” Tannehill said. “The receivers were getting open and we were making a few plays. That’s what we needed. ... You obviously don’t want to be [down 31-3], but I saw a lot of toughness, a lot of resilience from our guys [they] were hanging in there and just chipping away one play at a time and we got ourselves back in it for a shot at the end.”

And Tannehill’s fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Jordan Cameron was ridiculous. He had a window of about a foot between two converging defenders, yet Tannehill slipped it through.
