It might just be me...but does anyone else on this board think that Tannehill is losing faith in Wallace a little? If not in general, I truly feel like he chose not to target Wallace after he dropped that pass for a touchdown because he decided get fancy and wanted to make a one-handed catch. He clearly would have had a TD had he used proper technique and used both hands.

On the game winning drive, Wallace made a post rought in which he was wide open. Totally open and Tannehill decided to go to Miller underneath. I kind of get the feeling that Tannehill lost confidence in Wallace and stopped looking his way after he dropped that sure TD.

Do any of you get the same feeling? I know they have deep ball issue and that's not on Wallace, but he's dropped some passes that just make you put your head in yours hands and wonder in dismay.

Just want to know if I'm the only person that might feel like that.
 
Wallace seems to be also frustrated with Tanny , not sure how long the 2 of them can coexist next year.....
 
It's a progression read offense.

Mike Wallace got open, but he wasn't open when Ryan Tannehill was looking at him in his progressions.
 
I'd be more than frustrated if I'm Tannehill.

As for the deep ball connection. That's on both of them. Tanny can't hit Wallace in stride right in the bread basket, and Wallace can't catch much of anything that's not right in his bread basket.
 
Throwing to Wallace on anything longer than 10 yards is also a low percentage option. He needs everything to be perfect to catch the ball. Contrast that with Landry who puts maximum effort into catching everything, wherever it's thrown. Wallace's 'effort' on that TD play was totally unprofessional; could genuinely have cost us the ball game. If I were the QB, I'd be losing faith in him as well. Can anybody imagine how Marino would have reacted to a receiver putting in a half arsed effort on a TD play in a game like that ?!?!

That might be it. I just got the sense that he didn't even look Wallace's way and maybe thats because Tannehill didn't have the confidence that if he threw him the ball that he would catch it. Either way, we need to come home and take care of business against the Ravens.
 
Dump Wallace, Hartline and maybe Gibson. We can get some 2nd rounders for Wallace and Hartline and clear tons of cap space for better receivers.

Yeah, I think if that is Brady, he is jumping in Wallace's face and screaming at him on the sidelines after that play. I was screaming at him so loud at my house that I bet he could hear me in Jersey from DC.
 
I blame Wallace totally on that play. I don't care what anyone says, but Manning, Brady, Roethlesburger etc, don't all drop picture perfect passes on every single damn deep pass. Wallace had to MAKE A DAMN PLAY!

Can we stop with the same old boring excuses. Every single player deserves to be held to account. Wallace had his damn hand on it. It looked to me like he really didn't expect the ball to be there and he half gave up on it.

He should've laid out for it. He should be the type of receiver that bails out the QB from time to time. Great receivers (Making Wallace money) make their QBs look GOOD!

Earn your damn paycheck Wallace. He wants to talk about playing better to beat playoff caliber teams, well he should take his own medicine.
 
Those two just don't mesh. Wallace seems to get lazy on some of his routes and catches and Tannehill struggles with the deep ball.

Tannehill needs some big body tough receivers, not frail burners

Dude, Ryan Tannehill wants to win the dang game. If he sees a guy open for a touchdown, he throws him the ball.
 
All this being said, how good could Tannehill and the offense be if we had a Demerius Thomas type wideout on our team???

That would be beautiful to watch.
 
That was one of the worst efforts I have ever seen by a WR...your team needs to score and you try to do a circus catch on a well placed ball for any NFL starting WR. If that was Landry, that be 6 right there no question.

Bro, I agree with you. I really do. I'm of the same mentallity that you have on this board. I just know that I've played a sport at a prefessional level, not football, but soccer, and I know how frustrating it can be to have a teammate not do their part. On this play it looks like Wallace half-assed it. I've seen top level QB's avoid receivers in similar situations. I've seen Brady do that. You can't sit here and say that you didn't lose faith in Wallace after that play.

I respectfully disagree with this post. Tannehill was overthrowing Wallace the whole game... throwing it out bounds, last second throwaways etc.... On the "dropped touchdown," MY OPINION is that Tannehill threw it 1 second too early. Had he just waited Mike would have been in better position to make a catch. 17 and 11 are on good terms and I'm almost certain they will connect at home against Baltimore for 6
