This team looks ready... We're all pondering about Mike McDaniel being a rook HC and **** like you usually need a handful of weeks for an offense to gel but... Im not buying it, not this time around. Sure go ahead and tell me pre-season, not all starters on D, vanilla!!!! Nevermind all that... Thats 3 drives without a flag, 3 drives without a high snap, major ****up on OL, bad coaching decisions(if we're not talking about the decision to have these guys play to begin with)... Nothing....

Just sound ****ing football...

I've been re-watching the first 3 series on repeat and this team looks ready, everyone seems to know WTF they're supposed to do on any given play... Hell the first play of the game, that **** looks underthrown, it isnt, or at least it was designed to be underthrown. That throw travels ~55 yards in the air and its not like Tua tooks some misteps on it either... It was on time. Thing is, that ball needed about 10 more yards to hit Hill in stride, there's no way you design a PA to hit a guy like Hill in stride downfield... You just throw it up away from the safety and let him do what he does. Majority of his highlights is him doing just that.

All that being said... **** the Pats!

And not the Jets and Bills? What is wrong with you?

Did anyone else think that first pass could have been put in a better spot? Tua can be better with his long (35+ yards) ball placement, it's difficult and he's better than half the QB's but it's an area that could use improvement.

I got it, why don’t we just tar and feather the bastard. Problem solved

Right? We haven't won a playoff game in 20+ years. Let's just blow it all up because we don't have perfection on a PS pass. It's really ridiculous. Let's be good now and aim for perfect later.

I agree because I KNOW he can do better. But being the first pass of the game I cant complain. It was effective.

Same crap came up in the game day thread.

The TD drive was so good they had to find something to whine about and yep it was Tua on that pass.

It's really ridiculous. Some fans are so insufferable, if you don't chuck 6 perfect TD passes on offense and have a sack, forced fumble or INT each third down on D, it should all burn. Keep things in perspective. What you should be looking for is consistent winning, some games it'll be ugly, some it'll be glorious but as Al Davis said....just win, baby.

Absolutely...and Tua himself wasn't happy with the throw, as he said in the post-game. First game action with Tyreek, first throw of the game, gotta be happy with the results. When he gets his timing down with Tyreek, it's going to be disgusting. For the first time in many, MANY years we'll have a chance on any given play to go 60, 70+ yards for a dagger.

Exciting times around these parts.

Life long die hard fans Dwanye Johnson & I give your post a standing ovation. Seriously though, very well said.

As of right now, I can't help but feel more than cautiously optimistic going into this season. Something about this season just feels different. The positive vibes among the players actually seems 100% legit this time around.

GO FINS! and yeah F the pats. They have struggled against us in Miami over the years (and that was when they had Brady). I hope we beat the **** out of them in week 1.
 
If you want to judge Tua's first pass... dont judge it by the fact that Hill had to go low to get it... instead, look at the film and see where Hill and the two DBs were positioned about one second before Tua launched the pass.

Because that's what Tua saw...

When I look at the film, I saw Hill moving at an angle to get around that 2nd DB... and I saw Tua throw the ball to a spot that the DB could not get to...

Not bad ball placement. Not perfect, but Hill wasn't really clear of the DBs either.

And the drive still got us a TD.

That's what I want to see from this offense.
