As we all know Miami was awful at penalties and just the basics overall last season, not being very disciplined. So it’s very refreshing to not have a thousand false starts, holding after big plays and penalties on every kick return, and offsides giving the opposition a free 5 yards. Also no more personal foul flags, probably can thank Landry’s absence for that.

Didn’t see too many missed assignments and the punting was a lot better, tackling is improved and Execution overall is a major improvement from last season after 2 games. Not seeing too many drops either.

It’s fun watching the dolphins perform like a professional team again instead of the garbage of last season. Hope these are signs of things that will continue as the season progresses.
 
They have a ways to go, but yes, they played a clean game for the most part. There was a questionable defensive holding call, but the refs let em play.

Agreed, still need to get better on 3rd down and fix the middle of the defense.
 
Nice sack by Charles Harris wiped out by the Branch penalty.

Otherwise very proud of our guys, especially the OL.

We also caught a few breaks from the refs, which was nice.

Definitely. I was thinking all game they are not calling penalties that other crews would have flagged.

I hope the first two games are not forgotten once we find a game in which the officiating seems to slant the other way

Could have easily called PI on Minkah in the end zone.
 
Refs held their flags few times like Minkah in the end zone thought for sure we would get flagged
 
Not sure how we managed to win but the offense had a few costly turnovers in the 2nd half and the Defense most importantly that pick in the end zone saved this game and probably this season.

They did, but it went both ways. There were several times holding could have been called against NY.

Kind of like NBA refs not changing game outcomes with tricky tack calls in the fourth quarter.
 
maybe the most pleasant surprise so far and one of the major reasons we are 2-0 IMO. plus the turnovers our d is creating.
