This place is so bi-polar it's ridiculous

I'll be more comfortable making a general assessment when we're on a bye week. It's funny to hear people say Tannehill isn't making any strides or "progressing" after a loss to a very tough defensive team. Look at his last year stats, then look at his rookie year. The numbers absolutely do show progression. 3rd year is the big one. I do see a lot of posts that say this is a "make or break" year for Tannehill and I do agree with that. If you don't get it by year 3, then you probably never will. But writing off a QB after 2 games seems a bit strange, especially after beating the "super bowl bound" patriots (According to quite a few NFL analysts.) I think Tannehill does have the tools on offense, does have the defense to take pressure off of him, and will get his deep ball timing down soon. If you noticed, we practically abandoned the run after Moreno went down, passes were off target/dropped, defense didn't get any pressure, a punt was blocked, a punt was muffed, we created 0 turnovers, etc. .

That's not "all" Tannehill's fault. Team loss today.

Don't get too high after a win and don't get too low after a loss.

Adapt. Improvise. And overcome.

Miami is better than they were last year. Build on it.

And build a winner.

But why do people fixate on one issue when there is many. You watch other games and guys are making tough catches, balls are being over and under thrown, thrown behind etc. Its really a combination of things as opposed to it being one guys fault. But I guess Tannehill is the easiest to blame.

Because at the end of the day, it's a qb driven league. Any time you have glsring issues with the qb it will be magnified a thousand. Simlly put, if Tannehill can improve his accuracy, it alone put's Miami in a much better position to win games.

Thumbs down for this thread because its absolutely ridiculous to act like most of us weren't pretty unhappy with the play of our QB last week and a minority of posters basically said "STFU we won". This team could have won 50-20 last week if they had better execution but bad execution means you are living on borrowed time.

I don't know an educated poster on here who hasn't realized that Joe Philbin is a terrible NFL coach because he takes a team talented enough to beat the NFL's best and finds a way to lose to the NFL's worst just as often in other games.
I don't know an educated poster on here who hasn't realized finally that Ryan Tannehill is only 2/3 of the QB a franchise QB should be and that his chances of getting that last 1/3 are next to none.
I don't know an educated poster on here who hasn't realized that Kevin Coyle's defense by the numbers is pretty good, and yet it is a below .500 defense not just because of the offense, but also because it loses in key situations that are the difference between winning a game and losing more often than a top defense should.

The only bi-polarity I see is on the field, and that is with the way a Philbin coached team can dominate a contended one week and lose to a bottom feeder the next.

BTW, commenting on the failures of Tannehill and Philbin are not a 2 game sample size, it's a 34 game sample size already. I can guess how this season is going based on statistical evidence and the team re-affirming that evidence by continuing the tendencies that have caused that.

Best post of the day.
 
Just giving up with 2 minutes to go in the 1st half IS WHAT A LOSER WOULD DO!

So the seasons over now? We should just look to next year? It was one loss...a bad one but hopefully it serves as a reality check

Where did I make that argument? You do this all the time to me. Keep other peoples' arguments separate from mine.

The problem is stats are very deceiving. Additonally, unless Tannehill's accuracy issues are strictly based on timing and footwork in Lazor's new offense, you aren't going to fix that. The fact that besides the comebacks and sideline throws, have been a problem since day 1, don't hold your breath things are going to change.

The problem is the team was supposed to take the leap forward this year. It hasn't happened. Same problems of the last decade. QB can't throw. Receivers can't catch. We abandon the run. The OC calls stupid **** on 4th and inches. Defense looks great but then gives up a momentum sucking drive at the most inopportune time. Basic special teams **** ups. It's the same ****. Again.

You could say this after any loss.....for any team in the history of football. Bet you felt good after last week, right?

It's not so much that we lost, it's that this game was a ****ing embarrassment.

This thread has nothing,to do with this one single game...this site is like this all the time. Irrational behavior and attitudes on a week to week basis. I love the team as much as the next guy but some people on this site have some serious mental issues.

You seem to support individuals and coaches that are deserving to be cut/fired right until the end...We have issues? I lol'ed.

New OC, totally new offense, revamped oline, young qb who is not comfortable with the new scheme yet, some critical dropped passes and major injuries across the board, patience is needed right now. We are going in the right direction. Thank god we have a early by week this year.
