Watching the Jet game last week was maddening. We have a perfect scenario play out on the road and we can't capitalize. First we win the toss and defer so we can possibly get an extra possession at half time. The defense holds the Jets and makes them turn the ball over on downs. We get the ball in Jets territory and we start out slowly on offense once again and have to punt and waste the great stop by defense. Even after that the defense stops them again and gives the offense great field position which is once again squandered. There is NO EXCUSE for not coming up with points on one of those 2 drives. I just don't understand why it takes him a whole quarter to start playing well. Maddening.
So I started to look at 1st quarter scoring from 2012 until the present. And what I found was that the Ryan Tannehill led Dolphins are the worst 1st quarter scoring team in the league over that period. Worse than the Jags, Brown and Raider. Worse than everyone. Here are the average 1st quarter scoring for each team for the last 59 games.
