There Is Only ONE Phin's Savior in 2014

What did you pay 550 for?

Buff was a 1 point favorite here in Miami on game day. I know that as fact after paying $550 to a "local businessman."

haha.

why did the line go from Miami -2.5 to Mia+1?

Weather, with Miami having little chance of running. STUPID ME believed the D would get the TO's to make the difference, and they took the day off.

A $500 wager plus a "shipping & handling charge." LOL

the D gave you a chance, it was only a 10 pt game entering the 4th.

those guys have done it all, they get to have a bad game in that spot. Ryan has done nothing in this league, he doesn't have good play to fall back on where the fans of Pitt and Bal know their teams will be back b/c of the QBs. You guys hope you will have another chance but you don't know and none of those guys lost the last 2 to mediocre/bad teams while leading their O to 7 pts combined.

Still irrelevant, no matter how many times you type in the same inane comments.

Now answer the question or go away. How did the order of the wins and loses help the Steelers?

but you were never in the playoffs, the earlier games put you in a great spot where you needed to win 1 of 2 from 2 mediocre/bad teams and not only did you lose both but you scored 7 total pts.

Still repetitive and irrelevant.

He wasn't good int he Pitt game so what did it show? that he could throw a pick 6 in a big game? that he could hand off and watch his RB go 60 yds? vs. NE he played great but when the lights were brightest he failed to show. mediocre/bad teams beat teams they shouldn't every year- heck we beat NO and NE, does that mean great things for the future?

He was good against Pitt. Given your track record evaluating QBs, I'll take your comments as a ringing endorsement.

I don't know how many here know of Kimbo, Kim Bokamper, former Phin and local CBS guy. He is a somewhat of a mild mannered guy who does the Philbin show, and the Phins post game for years. He knows the game and our team better than anyone here.

After the Buff game he was upset, first time I saw that, in saying that the entire team was not ready to play.

After the Jets game, he was livid, thought he was gonna blow a gasket, in saying that there is no way we can lose that game we should have won vs a bad team with a questionable QB. There was no excuse on the way this team played.

I put some words in his mouth as I don't recall exactly but, it is very close to what he thought, and said. Never saw him like that but, most definitely agreed.

And??????????? It would have been okay to lose to the Bills and Jets in weeks 14 and 15? Why do you keep ducking the question?

Good points. RT may well have been injured in the Jets game but, I've heard nothing saying that. He did miss some throws by yards instead of inches, and it could have come into play.

IF not, I have seen the other "franchise QB's in the making" having bad games but, still finding a way to make some plays to lead their teams. I did not see that in RT the last two games. I still believe he will be the answer but, was not in those last two games.

I have have seen other franchise QBs in the making fail to lead their teams to victory. See Andrew Luck ...... Of course Tannehill was bad in the last game (especially) but that doesn't take away from the victories against Pitt and NE.

There are a crap load of posters on this message board that have a severely distorted view of QBs.

No major injury from what I remember, the weather was nasty though, was really windy and freezing rain.

And our idiot OC tries to pass, pass, pass, pass against a very good pass rushing team. At least he made adjustments at half time....

But, sure its all about the QB....

I give him a pass in the Buffalo game. The o-line was atrocious. I do however wish he would show some more emotion when his linemen **** up. They need to have a fire lit under their asses and sometimes the only person who can do it is the one who is taking the punishment for their ****ty play.

But he did make plays/throws in the Yets game. His WR's just didn't catch the ball. In the immortal words of Giselle "What the **** is he supposed to do, run down field and catch the ball too?" Those two drops were huge and major turning points in the game. Matthews catches that ball and the Yets more than likely don't score to end the half because the Fins would have had the ball with a great chance to score inside the 35 yard line with under 2:00 to play and Wallace's drop left 7 points off the board. Those are major blunders.

I'll give him the same pass in Buff. From what I read, he had never played in that kinda weather, and our big bad boys on O and D played like FRAKIN PANSIES who never played in sand lots or streets when the weather was a big part of having fun and loving the game as kids. Guess they were all "Pampered Pups."

Jets? No excuse in my mind. I saw Henne with more fire and leadership. Hard to believe.

They did play pretty well but, vs a Jets team who sucked on O. There was absolutely no excuse on how the O played. And yes, I did not get even but EVEN WORSE on a second $550 "donation."

 

[dolpns13]

Thats a high wager to pay on the Dolphins. I wouldnt have touched that with a 10ft pole.

A $500 wager plus a "shipping & handling charge." LOL

Seems like yopure a glutton for punishment.

Once Hartline went down, its like what little energy the team had was gone.

That's absolutely classic. The happy adjusters know no limit of absurdity. Peyton Manning in 1999 did exactly what a premier prospect is supposed to do. He completely turned around the fortunes of both his team and his own play. The Colts went from 3-13 in Manning's rookie season of 1998 to to 13-3 in 1999. I love how you tried to let that little tidbit slide, hoping no one would notice. Again, that's the mode of a pathetic happy adjuster. Manning may have had a poor game at Buffalo in the finale but the only thing at stake was possible top seed above Jacksonville. The playoff berth was long established thanks to Manning's superb play all season. He vaulted from 6.5 YPA and 5.2 adjusted yards per attempt in 1998 to 7.8 YPA and 7.5 AYA in 1999.

Southbeach's point is valid. Tannehill had no excuse in the final two games. Miami was bet up to a 7.5 point home favorite in the finale hosting the Jets. Tannehill didn't even score the spread. It's laughable to compare that situation to Marino's 1999 playoff loss to Jacksonville, a road game against a 14-2 team that was an 8 point favorite. We were home to a 7-8 Jets team with Geno Smith at quarterback.

Tannehill's numbers stayed the same from rookie to second year, unlike Manning, because he's never been elite. He was forced into the top tier of the first round and now we hope for a modest payoff.

The scary aspect is that the happy adjuster mind attempts these type of desperate comparisons all the time. If there is nobody to call them out on it they actually stand unchallenged. But I have to credit this one for particular value. I needed a whopper of a laugh.

I have to say that you are being at least somewhat distorted in what you are posting as well. There is a balance.

On a lighter note, who is #99 in your pic, and when will he be ready to play? :)

those wins gave them a chance, if they make the proper call in SD then Pitt is in the playoffs.
by losing the last 2 games Ryan gave you no chance.

My track record is spotless, I don't recite meaningless #s to evaluate like you most of you guys. He was mediocre at best in that game just like a week earlier against us. Against NE he was excellent but we saw that was a fluke.

I told you for weeks and weeks he wasn't playing as well as his #s and it finally sunk in watching him wet the bed in the biggest games of the year.

how is losing in the div rd at NE(something only one other team has ever done against a Brady led Pats team) the same as losing in weeks 16 & 17 against 2 dead teams?

You are first in line w/ your views of QBs.

yep, it was all the OCs fault just like when you got rid of henning. How did your O look the next year w/o Dan?

 

[WVDolphan]

Forget the GM, OC, HC and owner. We are gonna live or die based on Tannehill becoming very good this year. Nothing else matters much.

Overall, he did improve last year BUT, when it mattered most in the last two games, he fell apart. It's not subject to debate, no one can dispute how badly he played when the team needed him most.

He MUST learn from that and get over it, which I believe he will. IF so, we are going to be a legit contender. IF not, we are gonna have to hope to do so in 3 years or so.

This is basically what I said going into THIS SEASON.

This is why I predicted 11-5. I felt as if Tannehill were to improve a bit and become an above average QB, this was an 11 win team that had an outstanding shot at the 2 seed given the weakness of the AFC. I was right about everything except Tannehill becoming above average. It didnt happen. He failed miserably and it is what held this team back.

Enjoy wasting a season on Tannehill next year.

So I guess the O line was 'A-OK' this year.
