#14 Jarvis Landry was outrageously open at the top of the screen, had tons of real estate to run, and also could've easily gotten out of bounds.

But Tannehill stared down Rishard Matthews, threw it into coverage, ball knocked down, game over. Even if Rishard made the catch, he probably would've been tackled in bounds.

That was a terrible 40 second drive. You have to throw the ball past the first down or out of bounds when you have no timeouts at that stage of the game. 8 yard check down just puts you behind the 8-ball more. The first play is what doomed the drive.

The game was already lost by Vernon at that point.

Juice was open but so was Matthews... Smith just made an unbelievable play on the ball. Rare speed for a linebacker.

yeah, was a poor post-snap read that Tannehill missed... but thats not what lost us the game. A plethora of other things throughout the game slowly added up to our loss.

Tannehill gonna Tannehill.

 

[J. David Wannyheimer]

To be fair, Matthews was open, but yeah.

Once we hit the short pass to Landry, I knew it was over.

Dolphins: the only team who has no idea how to pull out a win at the end.

Dolphins: the only team who has a coach who has no idea how to coach football and needs to watch other team's film to get any idea how.

Once the team snoozed through the first half, I knew we were on the way to a loss.

 

[hoops]

don't check it down do check it down

The game was lost by God awful first half defense, a horrific turn of events (6 point swing AT LEAST) to end the 2nd quarter, and an offensive line that was chewed up and spat out by a mediocre defense all 2nd half.
But you want to blame it on what Tannehill did on the last play of the game? Please man. Please.

Better yet, that game was lost when we had them on 3rd and long late in the game and allowed Bortles to scramble for about 10 yards or so for a 1st down.....

That must be why every team except the Dolphins have 16 wins each season. They all know how to pull out a win. They all do it every week. Thanks for clearing that up.
