Miami Averages 26.4 PPG

Tua against the Broncos had only his 1st true bad game where you had to feel he was not going to be able to help the offense drive for scores, but he does have to start showing he can be a difference maker at QB in tough games from here on.

The rookie moniker is no longer fitting for him, he has had 7 weeks of watching, and practicing, with 4 games starting, either he starts showing that high ceiling, or he may be in a QB compitition next year with another draft pick.

I still believe in him because in the Rams game he did what was asked of him (Not his fault, thanks to the D, he was not asked to throw for 300 yards, Multiple TDs)...Against the Cards he matched Murray on the scoreboard, and when a huge drive was needed, he produced a hell of a "Willing the team to score" type drives...He again did what was needed to do against the Chargers with some pretty good drives.

Now after this loss, and Tua looking bad against an all out blitz, Tua needs to either look like a top 5 draft pick at QB or wilt away from extreme compitition.

Also not talking about seeing Tua look like a superstar against the Jets and Bengals, only to fall back to earth against the Chiefs, Patriots, Raiders, and Bills...It's crunch time.

WELCOME TO THE NFL ROOKIE.
Define yourself here and now.
 
Deliverance was a great movie, but for some reason Ned Beatty tends to get nervous when they talk about it...Must be that wierd limp he got from the movie.
 
LOL...panties too!!!!..take em off!!
 
on 308.6 yards per game which is 29th in the league.

How is this possible?

Because Miami averages 14.3 ppg from defensive or special teams setups. I'm not sure where this number stacks up with the rest of the league but I would reckon it's probably top 5.

121 of Miami's 264 points is straight offensive points: Offense takes the ball after an opponent's punt or kickoff and they score a TD.

Miami has done that 18 times on the season

The rest of Miami's 264 points (143) has come via ST/DEF scores or setups (i.e interception/fumble for a short field). Please note they consider FGs as special teams scores as well all know. So they're part of the 143 point total regardless if they were off turnovers or not. XP's are included with the offense if they scored TDs after punts/kickoffs, included with ST/DEF if the TDs were followed by turnovers or return TDs.

Here's the game by game breakdown including the total yardage:

@NE 8/11 Miami points was set up by FUMBLE, 3 by FG. Miami outgained 357-269

@DEN 13/13 Miami points were 6 by FGs and 7 setup by INTERCEPTION


Just some information here so people can see just how truly effective the offense is when you look inside Miami's points on where they came from.

Offense is accounting for about 46% of Miami's scoring production. DEF/ST accounting for nearly 54% of the scoring just isn't sustainable.
How does this compare to other teams? Meaning points off of turnovers etc?
