Ryan Tannehill’s rating has eclipsed 100 just five times in 36 career stats.
The silver lining for the Dolphins is one of those five came in Tannehill’s previous outing. Against the Raiders in London, he had his best outing in some nine months, completing 74 percent of his passes for 278 yards and two scores in a Dolphins rout.
But after torching the Raiders in one his finest games as a pro, coming into work has been far more pleasant for Tannehill.
The Packers have totaled 80 points in their past two outings. Oddsmakers think the two teams will combine for seven touchdowns Sunday, meaning if the Dolphins are going to win, they’ll probably need to win in a shootout.
The good: Of those five scoring spikes, two have come in the first four weeks of the season. Miami dropped 38 on Oakland, and would have had more if not for three turnovers.
That gives Tannehill reason to believe the Dolphins can win in a shootout – even against the superbly efficient Rodgers.
“I think we have the playmakers across the board to do it,” Tannehill said. “I think we started the momentum going the right way a couple weeks ago in London. Just establishing the run game – it’s been consistent for us over the past few weeks. Keeping that going and getting the passing game going. I think we have to build on that.”
Ohio FanaticsubscriberI can't see us winning a shootout (although I can see us scoring a bunch). We win this game if our defense does it's job and holds the packers to < 21 points.

Neither do I and I agree, a lot will rest on the D. The running game as well.

I definitely agree. If the defense can stop them from scoring more points than us, then we have a good shot at stealing this game.
Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

Sceetoforum_veteranThey've given up a lot on the ground. The D and the run game are key.

thisperishedminforum_veteranMan, ****.... that headline couldn't have been more scary at first. I thought it said "Ryan Tannehill arrested" when I first read it. Clicked link on the verge of a meltdown haha.

djphinfansubscriberTime to say it.
I hope ryan was watching this game tonite, just for the simple fact to see the amount of energy Luck expends from his body leading a team to victory on the road..it's constant and draining, and he pushes himself to go there..
I need to see a hell of a lot more out of Ryan in just that dept, it's time to either push yourself to push your teammates, to another level and sustain it, or piss off, there's just no going back on Sunday man.
I can live with a loss, just don't let it be because of you.
Bpkluxury_boxHate to say it, but not getting my hopes up with Tannehill anymore. He'll have to string multiple strong games together in a row for me to jump back onto his bandwagon.
Would be great if this weekend was one of them.

he's got to BK, that's my point, there's no more time, this is it baby!!!The moment of truth son.!!!whoooooo!!, can you feel it?
djphinfansubscriberI think Sceeto was being much to nice in his thread title..
djphinfansubscriberIt's time Ryan Tannehill starts to make his coaches job easier and start to do things that are not scheme related all the time.

I think part of the issue is indicated in how often you see him referred to as "kid" around here. Ryan Tannehill is 26 years old, yet the way he carries himself lends itself to that sort of view of him. I'm not sure anybody who appears to be a "kid" in that way has it within himself to step up to the level you're talking about here. He looked a little different in that regard against the Raiders, however.

That's really stretching it. Seriously. Ted Williams was nicknamed "The Kid," and he is one baseball's all-time greatest.

Wow..you sure you wanna hang your hat on such a far out prediction like that?

Wow..gotta disagree there. He hasnt really been the "pushing" type of personality, but one thing can never be said is that Ryan Tannehill has carried himself like a kid. You never once hear Tannehill lay blame at anyone's feet other then himself. He gets brutalized, and gets his ass back off the turf, not one complaint, and takes the next snap. You never see him out partying or getting into trouble, on days off he spends it with his wife. You dont see him tweeting immature crap like Hartline has been prone to do.
You can say alot about Tannehill, but carrying himself like a kid isnt one of them.
He needs to exert himself as the alpha in this pack, I agree completely. But make no mistake, Tannehill is a competitor.

Just because some refer to him as the "kid" has absolutely zero to do with his demeanor...my son's his age. I refer to all young players as "kid," and not in a demeaning way, nor to try and denote they act immaturely.
Somebody referred to as "kid" can't up his play...what are the stats on that? Is he the mean, or outside a few standard deviations?
FFS dude...what's next? He's married and his wife is hot, so he's not capable of upping his level of play?

I wish I could draw conclusions like that in my own mind and try and push them on everyone as fact. That's a special ability you have there... kid.

Allow me to derail this thread:
Tannehill has 5 100+ rated games in his career. Russell Wilson pretty much has 5 this season (one at 99.9).

You can ? I certainly cant. Why should we expect a loss here and be content about it? If we claim to be a good, competitive,possible playoff caliber team then theres no excuse to lose against the Packers this Sunday at home.
