Official Bills at Dolphins game thread Week 11

I believe we made a concerted effort no matter the talent on the dine.

 

Irvin giving alot of love to Landry postgame.

Tannehill has a great personality too postgame here.

 

Jeffy is gone. Smile.

 

That's big, those 2 games plus the NE game.

 

lmao

 

Next is the afc championship for me

 

Loving this post game with Tannehill on NFLN. Really hope were patient enough with this kid, everything about him screams he's the real deal. We all knew he was raw when we drafted him and it was going to take time.

 

Tannehill is now 16-1 when he has a QB rating of 90 or above.

 

"We're going to go down and beat that ***...point blank."

5 Sacks
Tons of pressure
2 Fumbles
Down 6 at halftime




























....points to the scoreboard.

 

for me it was a beautiful game

 

Well, I called a loss for this game and a loss for the Chargers. Dolphins showed great heart and fought to the victory tonight. Phins proving themselves. Glad to be wrong.

Maybe I should call a loss for the Broncos game?

 

One more day none of us know what LBsfinest looks like. Not that I'm complaining. Got my fix of Big Bang Theory yesterday.

 

Movie is better than the book.

 

I'm one of the first members of this message board Sir. And I've been a die hard Dolphins fan since I started watching football. Lived in Boca Raton for over 10 years and used to ride the Tri-rail to every game with my dad when Dan Marino was the QB. Have an old autographed Wilson Dan Marino jersey. I have the Sports Illustrated issue of "Dan the Man" in plastic when he threw for 473 yards and 5 TD's against Drew Bledsoe and Bill Parcells' New England Patriots opening Day in September 1994 with that AMAZING 4th down pass with 3 minutes to go after Don Shula told Marino to throw it to Keith Jackson over the middle to keep the drive alive. Then Dan saw that Irving Fryar was is bump and run coverage and audibled with the game on the line and threw a 35 yard TD TO Fryar streaking down the sideline "IN STRIDE" to seal the win. Oh yeah, I was there with my dad that day, after I was there the year before in Cleveland on a Party Bus from the bar that I was the Captain of their pool team Budweiser league, and sat in the Dawg Pound and watched Marino go down with his Achilles injury. Don't EVER f**king tell me I'm not a TRUE fan please. It's insulting. I'm being honest. Ryan Tannehill CAN NOT hit a deep pass. If we ever want to win a Super Bowl (that's still the goal, right?) this is going to be a major issue. You can't dink and dunk your way to the Lombardi Trophy...

 

Soooo happy. Team plays hard for 60 and it shows. Great seeing the Bills players so frustrated and out guys pulling together.

 

Cash, you're passionate...And wrong. The statistics have been posted by myself and many others more times than I can count. Tannehill deep to receivers NOT named Wallace, is actually pretty good. His deep ball is fine. Wallace runs **** routes, presets a tiny target, doesn't reach for balls, and can't catch with his hands.

 

Maybe I was just spoiled growing up watching the best QB to ever set foot on a field every Sunday. I honestly want Dan Marino back. I'm tired of watching Tannehill constantly waste TD or big gain opportunities. Is frustrates me.

 

Where did Williams go in the 2nd half? Did he get hurt?

Good to see Sims back and get a couple of catches and Hartline played w/ heart too.

Our D is so delicious. Love 'em up front, love Jenkins and Misi and man Grimey is Grimey not to mention Jones, Delmas and even Taylor tonight.

 

Whatever

 

lmao

 

He also doesn't find, and adjust to the ball in the air deep very well. His big specialty in Pittsburgh was broken plays, using his speed to get open after Big Ben had scrambled away from pressure after the play broke down. Not necessarily just running deep on a go route behind the D, catching a ball in stride and scoring. He's good at finding space after the play breaks down because of his speed IMO. I think if you watch alot of the deep balls that have been thrown to him, you can see that pretty easily, he just... looks lost ont he deep shots to him. That's not to say Tannehill is to be forgiven in those situations either, i think its a bit of both, but alot of it is Wallace.

I didn't get a chance to rewind it tonight to watch the deep ball again, but from my initial watch of it, there's just no way that pass is completed, unless its a one in a million kind of throw. I do want to see it again though to review it, my initial reaction though, is that Wallace just didnt leave any room for ball placement there. Lets face it, when launching a football deep downfield that far... accuracy is given up bigtime, you're just throwing it out there, and hoping its close enough for your WR to find it, get to it, and catch it.

 

You may be right resnor. But, Ryan Tannehill frustrates me to no end with the plays/points he leaves on the field every game. Do you honestly think he will be ELITE one day? I sure as hell hope so.

 

Love the huge victory but Philbin needs to get his head out of his behind ..we needed that last 7 instead of running out the clock because if we somehow end up in a head to head tiebreak with them they have us by 6 point differential.

 

I hear ya... lets not forget though. This is a QB who's still rather inexperienced compared to most drafted QB's nowadays. When we drafted him, we knew he was going to be a bit of a project due to playing WR in college rather than QB. It's coming together, we just have to be patient.

As others have said, the deep ball numbers to other WR's are fairly average. To Wallace they aren't. There's something to be said for that.

Honestly, I said it a couple times in this thread. I want a big play, big bodied WR, like Calvin Johnson, AJ Green etc... something close to that. A guy that can be physical, use his body to get position on a CB downfield. A guy that is open within a couple foot radius around him because he has big hands, long arms, and the ability. A guy like that catches these deep passes we miss to Wallace.

Now imagine pairing that guy... with Wallace's speed, and Landry.

Talk about a scary offense.

 

It was a lot of fun for this native Western New Yorker watching Miami get a big win tonight.

 

Relax man. The Dolphins are 6-4

 

Ummm tell that to Marino

 

Dan Marino never had that. And his numbers were honestly astronomical. No QB before or since could duplicate them under the same rules/circumstances. Can you tell me HONESTLY right now that Dan Marino couldn't hit Mike Wallace on a deep fly route? LOL

 

This Patriots Blunder also happened today:


Eat it AFC East rivals!

 

I'm going to feel really ignorant here but actual points come into play, or at least they can come into play?

 

trent dilfer disagrees.

 

LOL. You're CUTE

 

Most satisfying win this season... well, it's neck-and-neck with the opening day clobbering of the Patriots, huh?

Sometimes, I'm convinced a United States trip to Mars will be funded first before a nice, pretty connection to Wallace down the field occurs... but no, I remain optimistic that connection will happen this season and a thread will be opened up and the jubilation will be such that it rivals that kind found in certain Cam Wake-manhood-centric threads...

 

So hanging on to Marino even though he's been retired 14 years, and expecting his reincarnation, is what it takes to be a fan? That makes you a Marino fan. Marino was a once in a century talent...we won't have another one...let it go.

Ryan had SEVERAL deep balls dropped or flat out given up on this year. Watch some games instead of reading stat lines.

Being a fan means...see below.

 

Dan Marino was a once in a generation kind of player. Like Tom Brady. Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck (probably) etc. etc.

I think you said it yourself Cash... maybe you're just spoiled by watching Marino. We all are (if we were fortunate enough to see him in his prime). I think we have to keep in prespective though what we have, where we're at with him, and the fact that we knew he was going to be a bit of a project, and this is a new offense. From what I recall of Marino's WR's though, they were far better route runners than Wallace is. Wallace's specialty IMO isn't a fly route. It's sandlot style play after coverage and a play breaks down. He's too undisciplined as a route runner, then when the ball is in the air, he struggles even more. We need a different type of WR for the offense, and for the QB than what we have in Wallace. At least as a primary target IMO.

Either way, I know what you mean... but I think you have to put it into perspective to what we have, rather than what we had.

 

Yes it is one of the tie break scenario's. Not a dumb question at all 77

 

Hell I saw Griese in his prime drop it over the shoulder to Warfield as well..

 

You're right. But, I can't let go. I cried when he retired.

EDIT: I'll probably cry when Eddie Van Halen retires too! Lol

 

I did too...trust me...it destroyed my world when his Achilles went...loved watching that man play football. Took me probably about 4 years to get over his retiring...especially the way he went out, then for the Dolphins to hire Feidler (the a$$hole that was running up the score on us in that playoff game) just rubbed salt in my wound. I could hardly bear to watch their games with Feidler because of that sh*t.

We have a promising team for the first time since he retired, and I'm loving it.
