*Official Dolphins v Chargers Game Day Thread!*

Hmm, the Sherman in saying "get dullfandan more involved with the gameday threads". The Shula in me has blocked your IP,

 

if that cost us the game I would have benched RT at the start next week and tell him he can play again when he gets his head out of his ***

 

I was actually yelling at the screen give it to Thomas...

 

Good, you are now banned on gamedays!

 

Don't worry, I was suspect after the buc game but I thought the bucs would have Beas the broncos on sapp night.. You won't see me on game day til after..

 

Let's go saints. Can't Stand the niners

 

Overall , not a positive game by 17?

Geez ... I will take his game/effort and the result , thank you.

 

Wow...a reasonable fan? Gtfo?

 

It's good to have a win. That missed Wallace pass was really frustrating. Surely Tannehill can throw harder than that. I had to check to see if Pennington was still the QB on that one. Loved the Charles Clay TD and it gave my fantasy team a much needed boost.

 

Kaepernick literally just did the same against the saints and it DID lose. Think Harbuagh benches him?

 

Enjoy the win for a day. Well the players do that and after focus on Carolina which will be another test.

 

If you bench a QB over 1 bad decision...no matter how costly....that is poor coaching.

 

It's a gap-fit scheme. If one guy gets blocked to the point he misses his gap, overruns his gap, can't hold his gap, it crumbles as it takes away the second level of the defense. Far too often Ellerbe and Wheeler either don't get to their gaps or don't get off blocks. Wheeler, on occasion, overruns his gaps. Today, it was a combination of that and D.J. Fluker damn near beating OV senseless. OV got some revenge in the end with that sack, but his run D was atrocious today.

Reshad Jones also too often seems either late getting to where he's supposed to be or just does not know where he's supposed to be. I think part of that is Kevin Coyle running far fewer bear fronts and playing Jones in the box as frequently as they did last year. Not having a bigger guy in the middle, like Dansby last year, has really hurt.

 

He's inexperienced still. He knew instantly that he screwed up though if you watched his face. Hartline had a bad day and they were clearly out of sync on that last series.

Something else to keep in mind - He has beaten Luck and has out performed Griffin this season. Also, the Skins don’t have a 1st round pick in 2014 or 2015 by going all in on RG. We have to surround Tannehill with a better OLine and continue to upgrade the weapons around him right now. We know we can win with him, but we can also bring in another college QB in the next offseason or two to push him.

The staff made some smart adjustments getting him out and on the move and also lining up Wallace elsewhere. Hoping they continue to do these things. Rather die by trying something new than doing the same ole same ole...

 

Kaepernick has been pretty bad this year. To be fair, he's missing a lot of his weapons, but he's been bad.

 

OK winners, I am out. Enjoy being winners!

 

So has Matt Ryan and Eli Manning...But if you bench them over a bad season collectively as a team then you are nuts.

 

Brenner- Garner

Game balls, period.

 

Let's go Denver

 

Yes he has , all in all I think we need to be at the least, ok with 17 and personally I feel good about him and us going forward.

Seems pretty poised with everything that has unfolded and has made progress and don't see that halting anytime soon.

 

throw what tannehills dealt with at most qbs, even veterans, and they shatter. Yet, here we are, in a playoff hunt.

Tannehill is our man. I have zero doubt.

 

A lot of individuals out there trying to make a big play as opposed to doing their job and letting someone else make the tackle. It's hurting us every game.

 

If only more fins saw eye to eye with us...Henne ruined everybody, many fans won't commit until the superbowl sunday...

 

I'm pretty confident in Ryan Tannehill. He's basically been the offense most every week of this season. He's not had a lot of favorable advantages around him, say the way Andy Dalton does, and he's still winning games and improving. There's still 2-3 head-scracthers per game, but I can live with that given what he's working with and the coaching staff around him.

 

He realized it padre, look at his reaction after he went out of bounds. He is still learning out there. You can see it every single game. He still needs much more playing time to continue to learn and get experience. This kinds of plays are typical of young QB. You can see he is aware enough to know he has to slide down in bounds with the early play. But you also saw how in a pressure situation, he kinda let his emotion cloud his reason. He knew it instantly.

You have to give him time to learn, because you can clearly see the upside there, only waiting to be polished.

 

Yeah, that's why I don't get him not seeing more time. It's not like he does poorly when he plays, he's actually very good. He's very quick, he applies pressure on many of his plays and I think he's actually pretty good against the run.

 

With your standards...even top 5 QBs would need serious improvement....

 

The QB takes 100% of the snaps. Ryan needs to make better decisions at the end of the game 100% of the time.
It was just one play (this game) but the OL and his play cost us in the past this season.

 

The Go/Go Go cadence worked well today. At least 5 offsides penalties.

 

It's just a mistake borne out of inexperience. With more games under his belt, and more experience in different situations, he will not be overwhelmed so easily and will be able to stay cool and calm enough to make the logical play.
You know he is aware and smart enough to realize what the situation calls for, because he did it just 3 plays before. That time, he just was too caught up with trying to make a play, that he let some things out of his mind.

With time he'll learn to be more cool under these situations. This is not a mistake that belongs only to Ryan Tannehill. This is a mistake typical of young QBs.

Just notice it, understand it, learn from it, and move on.

 

I feel pretty good moving forward with Ryan Tannehill from here on out. Given the circumstances, bad o-line, Wallace underachieving, Gibson injured, Keller injured, he's done well...He's had to make chicken salad out of chicken crap all year long and he's doing it.
