Remember what he did on the next play?it took him exactly one play in the Buffalo game to do something Ryan has yet to do. Hit a 54 yard bomb right over Hartlinez shoulder. If hartline was faster it was a 99 yd TD.

They didn't play 13 winning teams in 2011. The three teams were the Giants, Cowboys, and Patriots.
The Cowboys (20-19) and Patriots (27-24) were close, competitively fought winnable games that we weren't able to close out. In the Cowboy game the defense missed a billion game-sealing sacks on Romo's game-winning drive. Vs. the Pats we were up 17-0 at half and then both sides of the ball went flat in the 2nd.
The Giants were the Super Bowl champs whom we again lost a close game to 20-17. So, let's do the math here:
The Dolphins were outscored by a mere 10pts in games vs. winning teams.
The Dolphins outscored everyone else 216 to 168 (+48)
I agree, that if we had won 2 out of those 3 games Moore could have easily silenced people. But it stands to mention that we were in those games and our offense in the last 10 years or so never clicked better. He beat winning teams when he started with Carolina, so there's no reason to presume he could never do it again.

I don't need to adjust anything. The guys starting ahead of him (Henne, Clausen, Tannehill) have accomplished ZERO.
Matt Moore the stealth QB.... even his own coaches don't notice him.
More trolling commentary from you.
Remind us again what Tanny did in that game considering he was the season long starter and actually prepped for the game as the starter.
Sort of like a "start the 3 time looser backup QB" thread....
If Philbin starts Moore, he's fired
Why do you always want to change the subject from Moore to Tannehill? Oh yeah...
Considering the OL ranked 28-32 by 4 out of 5 analytic services, no blocking TE, the 26th ranked running game, a rookie kicker with the yips, a red zone receiving threat going down in TC and the 2012 most dependable 3rd and TD completion percentage receiver going down midseason, a dinosaur calling his plays and the kind of unnecessary distraction brought about by a wus who couldn't handle the the kind of non physical hazing that most 18 year old frat pledges would have welcomed by comparison, it's amazing that Tannehill over-achieved beating 4 playoff bound teams and keeping us in contention until the kind of Buffalo mugging and injury that Tom Brady himself, the week before against us, demonstrated that even he couldn't overcome. So that would be 5 winning teams that Tannehill beat since the beginning of last season now.. 4 of 'em with no Wallace chemistry, a 7th round receiver pick, a 5th round hybrid TE and a natural #3 Wideout who he made into a two season 1000yd producer. It's a shame that based on the above, we were in not going into Buffalo already having clinched a playoff berth!
And just for grins for those who love to nitpick away at certain QBs and purposely ignore the short-comings of ones blessed with elite support tools who've had 10 second qtrs to confirm there's a void between his ears and his legs on the biggest stage when the hour of midnight is almost upon him.

Bottom Line: if we're gonna replace a QB who screws up against weak teams but beats strong teams and QBs, we better get one with cajones, cuz after the build up expectation of NoodleArm vs the Ravens, even knowing the history of his losing 2 or more out of every 3 games vs Top 10 scoring D's, 3 out of 3 in 08) while I agree to a point that it's nice making the playoffs, I really don't want to end up with another version of a deceptive Blue Balls QB!
I think I can speak for anyone here who wants Moore as the starter when we say that he isn't destined to be the next Marino, but if the guy in there isn't working, wouldn't you want to try something else before the season is ruined?
I thought you were a Moore guy. What happened to all that "sea legs" talk"? :).
You got a good memory. And yes, that was mostly to refute our resident [strike]****roa[/strike] troll in his attacks on him and unfavorable comparison to a QB who loves butts so much he can't keep away from them even on the field. I admire and respect Moore; was there in person watching his encouragement and leadership galvanizing a dispirited team on the sidelines
