Im actually shocked it was a game at all. Tough loss but we do have to win these games. You can't win against teams like the hawks when you make huge mistakes, Stills drop and missed fgs are huge mistakes.
I was really happy with how we performed on the road in a hostile environment considering we have a new coaching staff, new offensive and defensive scheme, and a couple of key injuries.
The only things that had me scratching my head were the Stills drop in the 1st quarter (he's been awesome all preseason), and all the time outs at the end of the game which seemed to give Seattle a breather to get organized.
As usual, the sky-is-falling mentality of this place never fails to entertain, so thanks for that. :)
Yes and if he played three grat quarters and the team lost in the fourth we know what some fans would be saying. "It's not about how you play in the first three qurters it's can you move the team in the clutch!" The bottom line is he drove the team 87 yards when they needed it, but the team still didn't get the win.
Yes there a difference between getting completely out classed by seattle at home or actually giving them a game. It shows different out looks on how our next games play out and how we can improve. It seems like people wanted nothing but a win against Seattle at Home. Delusional homerism in that case. I'm a realist and was expecting a 10+ loss and so did all the brokers.
Look everyone, FinHeaven has its very own Psychic! How lucky are we?You know the Patriots will find a way to win in Arizona and will run away with the division again. They're probably laughing at their fellow AFC East teams right now.
That's fans thinking, not players. Players are a revolving door of team changes in the NFL.
If we had 35 points on the board, I promise you wouldn't here a peep from me as a very loud Tannehill skeptic.

Looks like you need the reality check. This THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS. New coach, doesn't matter. Did anyone with an eye toward reality ever think after Stills dropped ball and a missed FG that we were going to win? That's OUR reality.
I agree. I don't like moral victories and the end result is 0-1, which is a bad result.
But we just went and played a team that is a Super Bowl favorite at their house (where they have been pretty incredible) and lost by two stinking points, in a game where we got hosed by a few bad calls / non-calls, dropped an easy touchdown, had a field goal blocked, etc.
We didn't look like a bad football team today. I want to see this defense next week. I want to see this defense play like that again next week, because if they do, then this team can exceed expectations.
Difference is with Tannehill is that it's a trait he has as an individual dating back to college. He plays terribly with a chance to win thehe's not game. Yes, I know some are totally amazed that he mounted a single worthwhile drive where he had to run the ball in because he doesn't know how to pass in the red zone any longer. It's disappointing when a defense that has been refreshed of players multiple times shows a tendency to fold, it's another when there is one individual who show a tendency and yet we declare him to be the franchise.
That's the same reality for the Seahawks today as well. Miss a field goal, drop a touchdown pass and they would have lost.
I'd rather be at the point where we are just needing to make a couple easy plays to correct things than one where we had to play perfect to win.
