Players are usually optimistic about playing after an injury.What do the medical experts think. http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/thed...next-week-after-suffering-hyperextended-knee/ Matt Moore has proven to be more than capable to replace Tanny until he is fully healed so I hope they dont rush him . IMO it will be interesting to see Moore play .We may see more deep passes
I got my tickets next week, got my Tannehill jersey, all I need now is this guy to get healthy for this week. I want to see Tannehill vs. Luck head to head.
A deep thigh bruise and a hyperexstenision is nothing serious. I wouldnt be suprised if he doesntbplay against Indy, given that we can beat them without Tannehill.
Matt Moore was serviceable, but nothing more. He had just enough good throws to get the job done, but I wouldn't want him to start! I was praying the whole game that RT would go back in. Moore will have a good play, then the next will be a head-scratcher and on and on... Luck Vs Tannehill sounds MUCH more appealing to me!
Ya know, there has been many times in the last 10+ years that we haven't had the luxury of a bona fide, NFL starting caliber QB much less a qualified backup. MMoore has started in this league to a moderate amount of success and he's our backup guy now... I don't know why the disrespect for what he's done for this team, both last season and this season. I'm like everyone in that I want to see Tanny in there, because he's our future and he needs the experience to keep this team moving but MMoore once again only proved that he can step in and get the job done... It wasn't pretty and it wasn't a statistical shining stars' performance, but he still got the job done. I will say that MMoore seemed to want to go deep more often than Tanny, something that Tanny can learn from. Don't get me wrong, Tanny is our #1, but I'm glad we've got him as our #2 with Tanny out, however long that be...
It goes without saying that we all prefer that Tanny would start next week but if it means risking his season I dont think its worth playing him .There will be plenty other Luck-Tanny matchups to look forward to in the fuure. My hunch is that he will play.
I hear ya. The guy came in and did what he had to do which was manage a game and not turn the ball over. Just last year we would cry to get a win by any means necessary and now we put it to the Jet's and fans are ripping our backup even after that performance? Short memory I guess...
I have no idea how a team like Arizona didn't pony up to trade for Matt Moore. He's not a franchise-changing QB, but the guy can play. That said, I hope Tannehill is ready to take on Luck next week.
I think it was a smart move to keep Tanny out after the injury. By the time they got him in the locker room, the Dolphins were up 20-0. No reason to risk anything there. That said, I hope he's ready to go next week. I think he could do some big things against the Colts.
I thought Moore played a really good game. If Gaffney doesn't drop the touchdown his numbers look much better.
Im as big a fan of Moore as anyone, but we only saw the good Matt Moore, not the bad one that will stare at the rush and put the ball on the grass
Matt Moore has shown that he is a high quality backup. As a starter, he would definitely struggle...especially in this system. I really hope T-hill is ready for the next game. Matt Moore still impresses me though and I hope he remains our backup for awhile. Awesome know that you have someone reliable on the bench.
I am not sure why people are overlooking the Colts. They have the same record as the Dolphins and they did beat the Packers at home, earlier this month. The Dolphins certainly have a very good opportunity to win the game, but the Colts game isn't going to be the easy win many people on here seem to think it will be.
I don't think the Colts matchup well with Miami. The Dolphins defense is much better than Green Bay's.
The Jets ran all over the colts, and I believe they have a porous Run D, that leads to a favorable match up for us. Also when they played the Jets, their (the Jets) attacking and blitzing D had constant pressure on luck and he had his worst day as a pro. Like Hardcore said, I think we match up well against them.
I'm excited for the Tanny/Luck match up. But if its prudent to have him sit a week, so be it. Sent from my iPhone
Agree with all you said. The jets beating them the way they did just makes me refuse to believe we can't win this one the same way
I agree that the match up seems to favor the Dolphins. I just hope the Dolphins aren't taking the Colts as lightly as some of the fans on here appear to be doing. The Colts are a tough team to beat when they are playing at home. With the Dolphins coming off a big victory over the Jets, this is the type of game the Dolphins could come out flat. I see this as a game very similar to the game the Dolphins played against the Rams, just before the bye. I think it will be a close game and it will come down to a FG by one of the teams in the fourth quarter to pull out the victory. I just hope the team kicking the winning FG is the Dolphins.
I think they will be definitely a tough game than the Jets. Their QB is already significantly better than anything the Jets put out.
