    You know, that's a good point.

    This is december, playoff run football. They can't all be beauties. We all know that from drunken trips to the bars :lol: But hey, good teams win games like this in December. If you can get destroyed by the run like we did in the first half, and shut it down in the second for the most part (sure having a donkey for a QB on your opponents sideline helps too), but damnit... you earned it tonight.

    Lets not forget, I know its a terrible Jets team, but its a division game. It's a bigtime rival game. These games are never easy, and our D was terrible early, the adjusted, the offense bailed them out, got the lead for them, then the D locked it down to end it.

    That's a team win. What Philbin always preaches in his post game speeches after wins. That's the definition of it. One side struggled... the D. The O didn't get a chance in the first half. The second half, the O takes over, grabs the lead, then the D locks it down. Team win. Buy in guys... buy in. If we can get some guys healthy again that would be great. It's going to be a struggle. I think fully healthy, we're a playoff lock this year. In our current state, I dunno... I know... I know... no excuses... but **** that. We're damn banged up. As banged up as we are, its a valid excuse.

    Vikings gave gb fits two weeks ago. They're exactly the type of team we usually take for granted

    Tannehill talking about how frustrating it is to be held to the dink and dunk game because the jets didn't let anything open up.... gotta love this thread calling out lazor like if he was calling the checkdowns... lol. That's also not even taking the awful o line into consideration

    For us, it's all about Lazor. When we don't run, we are facked.

    The D finally began to stuff the run in the 2nd half when they went to the 5-2 front with Odrick, Mitchell and Starks on the line together, just like I suggested they should do at half time.

    I really don't think the dolphins are good enough to take anyone for granted.

    I think this game solved the taking opponents lightly problem for the rest of the season.

    Excellent job by ESPN at the end. They actually stayed and broke down Miami as a team and their upcoming games and then brought in Tannehill for a 15 minute interview. Nicely done.

    Mike Zimmer has that team playing good defensively. Offense is a crapshoot still, which is to be expected with a rookie QB. They're coming along though. Could be more than a challenge than anyone expects.

    I don't think you can take any 'must win' for granted. I don't think you can take any December games for granted unless you are in a position to rest players.

    The second half magic continues. Is it truly foolish to attribute that to coaching?

    I never heard Berman say it, but I thought someone said it here in this thread before the game. Could have been wrong.

    A win is a win. Remember, Oakland beat KC. Division games are tough.

    There's been some absence of second half magic this season as well. Hopefully this run defense tightens up for the Ravens. We desperately need one of our corners back.

    T-Hill did well in post game.

    Ray Lewis is still a thug.

    Steve Young has had too many concussions.

    Dilfer dresses like a little kid.

    Sometimes I wish everyone could rewind and rewatch plays. Sometimes, there's just nothing there by the checkdown. Think about it, teams let you have that garbage. They dont care. ESPN did a good job showing some overhead shots sometimes, the WR's were covered tightly in zones.

    I did think though, near the end, that final drive, Lazor did a nice job calling plays with some routes designed to spread the D out in those zones. One to Sims was a beauty. The RB cuts to the left, the LB takes a few steps, with him which opened up the pass to the seam to Sims. Just nicely done.

    He called the correct score 16-13. edit.. I guess not? I coulda sworn he called it. I was thinking about it for most of the game.

    You know, those still doubting Tannehill... I say go back, watch that last drive that we got the FG on. Now lets get this out of the way first, I know most of you will go... OH! Wallace was wide open that one play. Yup. Got it. I'd like to see it again to find out when Wallace opens up, it looked pretty early, but who knows where Tannehill was in his progressions then. But look at some of those throws and such on that drive. The playcalling too. Seemed a bit conservative once we got close, but all in all, he did a great job executing, and moving the ball. Definitely what you want to see.
