We won. A 30-24 win counts the same as a 30-0 win. I refuse to get mad or frustrated with my team in a game we won, especially after we had two heartbreaking losses the first two weeks. It wasn't pretty and there were some cringeworthy moments at times but the Dolphins gutted it out and got the W. We had 115 rushing yards and improved in that aspect of the game over the previous two weeks. So many have clamored that RT17 can't win or isn't clutch, but he made plays when it mattered today in spite of a shaky game. We were supposed to beat the Browns and we did beat the Browns.

It must suck to be mad when your team wins a football game. If you can't enjoy the win, what's the point in being a fan?

The game is 4 quarters guy. 94 QBR is 94 QBR. 3 tds is 3 tds. Those QBs I named are a collective 0-10 and didn't even throw a single one between them. Tannehill is the reason we won.
You want to harp on him for what? 2 overthrows while getting hit? 2 ints WHILE being hit & pressured? Please.resnor, Shane Falco, Fin D and 1 other person like this. -

Hes not alone in this mess of a team, but he sure as hell isn't some bright spot either.Redwine4all and BigNastyDB13 like this. -
I wasn't real hyped up about being 0-2, and I'm not real hyped up about being 1-2, but hey, I don't get being down about this right now.
The defense looks about what I thought it would look like (not good) and the offense struggled to execute plays, the QB made a couple of bad throws, and we got incredibly lucky that Browns players were dropping like flies in practice this week.
And we won! The passing offense has its hiccups, but the yards per pass attempt was pretty good, and the yards per rush attempt was pretty good, and we scored four touchdowns (30 points) and we won a football game that we badly needed to win. And by the way, I know Cleveland is bad, but I'm sorry, the Browns played their hearts out today. That team was jacked up, hyped up, fired up, and well coached today and they gave our listless football team everything it could handle.
What I want to see going forward is what this Dolphins team can do when it's energized and emotional and ready to win some games, because I'm actually kind of impressed at how well they've sleepwalked through these first three weeks. -
you laughed when i said he had a good game overall because the game is 4 quarters..... when he did. that's pretty much harping.Shane Falco and NCPhinFan like this. -
I defended Ryan in game 1 in which his "numbers" were uninspiring. Why? Because figures lie and liars figure. He played better week 1 vs Sea than he did today when you take everything into consideration. But hey...go ahead and tout it anyway you want.number21 likes this. -
Wow :rolleyes: you really went out on a limb by saying he played better than his numbers showed in the game with the Stills drop..... Pretty much EVERYONE is saying that.Shane Falco likes this. -
Its Ryan Tannehill. He's been our QB for over 4 years...is this not what we are used to seeing? Good throw, bad throw...good half bad half...round and round we go.
So no, I dont think he played a very good game or a very bad game. He played a very Ryan game which is almost always somewhere in-between.number21 likes this. -

Anyway, obviously I was referring to RG3 the way he played as a rookie. I was very explicit about that and yes I still think a team that thinks they could keep RG3 healthy enough would take him over Tannehill. If you want to argue against that, I think you'd have to say you don't think RG3 would remain healthy regardless of which team he went to because performance-wise RG3 in his rookie year did something way above anything Tannehill has demonstrated. -
You can think and believe what you want, but he played a good game overall and he won it for us. You might have 'seen' something different, and that's okay. -
For reference. PFF graded Ryans play today at a 62. Cody Kessler graded at a 65.
Again, Im no saying he played horrible...im not saying he should be benched, cut or traded. But he didn't play well today. And all his friends on the team were nice enough to do the same. -
-
Not that allowing 17 points at home to the Browns is inspiring...but neither is the offensive performance we have been getting so far this year. Again. PFF 62...he didn't play well today. -
He did though. and I'm not going to fully knock him for a pick he threw while being hit, although it was a terrible throw. ( The irony here is that you say he wasn't being pressured yet his 4 biggest mistakes he is being knocked for were due to pressure.)
Also it's not "17 points to the browns". That'd almost be nice if it was the case. It's 17 points to HALF of the browns, with a mixture of a 3rd and 4th string QB. 2 weeks in a row now our defense is getting torched by teams that are coming close to having to forfeit due to running out of QBs to play. You are giving the defense more slack than Tannehill.
Can't agree with anything or anyone that wants to say that 65% completion for 319 yards , 3 touchdowns ( lead to 4 scoring drives total) is bad, Even if it's PFF. He even hit like ~8 yards PP which is nice. -
And again, not saying he played bad merely pointing out he didn't play very well. He was pressured because he held the ball too long because he missed an open guy for an easy first down. He had plenty of time to throw on that play. Pressure is a very poor excuse in this case.
And the defense has struggled, but they are likely going to be top 10 in points allowed after this week. They are playing better as a whole than the offense. -
-
You realize this is literally 100% due to the fact that we are playing against 3rd and 4th string QBs right????? They AREN'T playing better than the offense, AT ALL, especially considering this.
Is the defense going to be top 10 points allowed if Brady played week two and CLE had EITHER starting QB today? No. You realize those teams probably drop 40+ on us like Cincy is more-than likely about to do Thursday, right ??? If SEA didn't **** the bed against us and the other 2 teams had their QBs we are probably closer to 32nd in points allowed.
The defense is getting rolled by nobodies, but it's okay because the point total is low, LOL.
Meanwhile Tannehill has been in the upper bracket of QBs every week this season thus far. with a ~90 qbr on the year. But he's equally as bad as the defense. -
The offense isn't "way ahead" of ANYTHING. They have made their fair share of mistakes this year. This team is a collective average bunch from QB to DT. Why some of you insist on pretending otherwise is to be expected but still mistaken.BigNastyDB13 likes this. -

We did it boys!!! We kept 3rd and 4th string QBs down to top 10 points allowed! The one loss to Seattle makes it all okay.
