Ryan Tannehill showed tremendous toughness, the one TD drive he was gettin hammered, little hurt as well I recall, finishes the drive to Moore with players buckling his knees, He's smart, no turnovers, protecting the ball, making proper adjustments at the line, and what I really like is knowing when the defense is not ready and pouncing on them..He's got the tools, strong wind did not affect his ball flit, not only was he accurate, he was accurate with traffic all around him..His character, talking about playin with heart and toughness, yeah, damn strait you did..What's amazing to me is how he's developing from the pocket, he's working in constricted confines and he's ballin, he needs better protection damn it.
Screw the refs the last two weeks, not easy man to keep coming back from backbreaking calls.good sign of character, we never have to feel anymore like something bad is gonna break us, they've tried for two weeks, and have failed.
I noticed dozens of complaints about the intensity of the team to start the game, the flatness, no energy, well, lets just say, it's beyond a trend and beyond comprehension why more folks can't see the problem..I'll say this, don't expect your team to have energy, when there is NONE in the stadium..it's interesting, the bad home play trend is playing flat in the beginning and letting a team back at the end....hmmm, the exact times when players could use some, we can't provide it, I wanna also say I don't blame the fans, the stadium is a cancer for this franchise.. if our stadium was as small as the eagles or ravens etc., it would of been a sell out for the rams, not the fans fault.
Something needs to be done, and fast.
Philbin and Sherman dealt with a flat team and some BS calls, and out coached the opponent, special teams, offensive p,ay calling, guts..nice job boys.
Why the hell isn't the train our short yardage back, I read somewhere in the game thread put Solai in front of his *** and lets do this..I think I might like Odrick on that though.
I don't know how Tannehill is doing this with two receivers a game..
I just saw JJ swat jump 55 inches, from a standing position...no, no way, did I just see that.
We're in a playoff race boys and girls..With a rookie Qb leading us..
Not sure what's goin on with Reggie, questionable decision making continues..he reminds me of Colt trickle in days of thunder, "step on the gas thru the smoke" baby, lets go.
If I'm a coach I see if I can spark that U connection some more and get Miller up to speed..I wanna see a workload, I wanna see what I saw in camp, the vision and the feet working harmoniously without loss of speed.
Holy sh&$, just found out the Seahawks beat the patriots.
Yeah, tell me that stadium doesn't make a difference on that franchise and culture..sheeee$, that 12 th man concept is making boatloads of money on branding and marketing..genius, hmmm
He'll yeah man!!!!! WERE IN FIRST PLACE!!! this is gonna be a fun two weeks, Tanny stepped up today and managed a very nice victory, looked tall, tough, and efficient, should be nice to keep hearing the compliments coming in from everyone who crapped on us aaaaaall offseason.
Jet fans no likey, Dolphins coming to town...

Again with the crowd thing. The Rams committed what, 12 penalties? Was the crowd gonna make the Dolphins run for more than 19 yards?

It's true. If we had a real fanbase who packed the stadium, a Lynch mob would have been waiting for Gene Steratore after the game.

I was at the game. The crowd was as big as its going to get right now. Great win, the team is growing more as the games come and go. Every game they are being put into different situations, and they are getting through them. Today, the offence needed to take as much time off the clock, and force St.Louis to beat us.
As far as the crowd. I dont think we will ever have a solid turnout. Miami (Florida in general) has lost alot of jobs, and people have been moving out of the state, or far away from the team. Miami is also made up of people from many walks of life, and transplants from all over the globe. Look at the Jags and Bucks. Same problem.
Most other teams have a history, and a huge following from generations and generations of people. That helps sell seats. Just saying.Aquafin, fins1, Frumundah Finnatic and 3 others like this. -
I was at the game as well. For the Rams, it was a solid turnout and atmosphere.

It did before they were good. Not hard to sell out when you're the best team on the planetfiredan, Frumundah Finnatic and Ozzy like this.

The Heat has a fraction of the seats, and alot of bandwagon fans. Winning is addicting. But before the big 3 were here, they couldn't sell out a game either. Look at the Marlin's new stadium, and all the talk about the team. They couldn't sell out any game this year either.

Point is - regardless of demographic and cost..... win and seats fill.... all the rest would be 100% irrelevant if we were top tier

I'm not sure a capacity stadium is advantageous, as terrible as South Florida fans are. I've been going to games since I was in middle school and the biggest difference between 45,000 and a sellout is the amount of stupid things occurring in the stands. If the noise level is any higher, it's when the Dolphins are on offense.

This is, by far, the dumbest thing you've ever written on this site. Congratulations.Section126 likes this.

Try harder, but don't look like you're trying so hard.
And it's the absolute truth and I don't know if you have any idea what you are talking about or frame of reference. I've gone to more than 150 Dolphins games and there's functionally little difference between a real sellout and a capacity like today. There's more fights, there's more people inexplicably standing when nothing is going on, waving at someone who doesn't see them while talking to them on a cell phone, etc. and so on. It's not all that louder. -
Except that you just described every fanbase in football. So I have to question your frame of reference. Ever been to a game at the Meadowlands? How about Foxboro? I've been to both. You know what gets a crowd to become energetic? A good ****ing team that plays well.Section126, MonstBlitz, Ozzy and 1 other person like this.

Yes, I have. It's not the same thing. I've been to non-UM college football games as well, and it's a completely different deal too.

BS. Games at the Orange Bowl when UM were good were the loudest in the country. The key being that they were GOOD.Section126 likes this.

Also BS. The Kingdome was maybe the loudest stadium in baseball.

For all of you that complain about the fan base, then do something about it. Drive/Fly/walk down and go to the games. Far = an excuse. If you dont make a trip to support the team, then dont ***** about the crowd. Plenty of people travel here to see their teams play, you can too. Im a season ticket holder, and I drive 2 1/2 hours to and 2 1/2 from. We make it to most of the open practices, and pre season games.
Dont ***** about it, make a difference and do something about it. Who gives a rats *** what quality of team is on the field, and/or GM, coach, wtf ever. If you are a true fan you follow the damn team, and you do it no mater if your super bowl champs, or the bottom of the barrel.

Im not calling you out. Im calling out EVERYONE that *****es and whines about it. Even listening to the post game shows I hear morons complain about the crowd, but when they ask where they were calling from, they are in some sports bar 20 min from the stadium. Take the McRib money and get some 400 section seats and go to the effin game. Untill then, let us true fans enjoy our team without getting *****ed at for lack of support. Keep freeloading off of CBS and shut your mouth.

It is though. I'm telling you it wasn't the stadium, it was the fact that the team got good.
-
Seemed like it to me as well, and it was good to see that the team did not disappoint this time around.
Last yr we lose this game. -
If you say so? Meanwhile, I don't think there is a worse group of fair weathered fans in a big market in football than UM.
-
I don't need to speak up for the OB. People know how loud that place was.
And UM sucks now, just like the Dolphins have for the last several years. You're kidding yourself if you think what's happening with the two fanbases is exclusive to South Florida. -
Basketball stadiums only seat like 20k. Here in DC, Verizon Center seats like 22k.

X, the Seattle blueprint is a masterpiece..and it's working, monetarily, and literally..if you don't think it helps their players play with more energy at critical situations then we disagree, and if you agree with me then you would realize that that can alter the outcome of a game, energy in a building can heighten the senses, tangible noise can cause confusion, nerves, and disrupt communication, all elements can alter player performance.
How many years are we gonna talk about how we come out flat at home without giving this theory any respect, how many other places and instances do we need to see that energy in a building can absolutely favor the home team.
I'm really disappointed in the vision of the suits on this one, all they do is talk and agree with me subconsciously, but cannot grasp the cause and effect, cause if they did, and understood what a disadvantage it is, they would have a very serious sense of urgency to do something about it..All their doing is hurting their players, their pockets, and their fans..
Once again the Seattle blueprint is genius, and working exactly how I thought it would. -

If you cant afford it, then dont ***** about it. Plenty of people here are in the same situation.
-
And again, you're glossing over the fact that: The team got good, the fans got loud. If the Dolphins get good, you'll see a change in atmosphere. That's how it works.Ozzy likes this.

There are plenty of bad teams that turn out great crowds.
-
And there are 40-50k people that go out there no matter what the record is. We are 3-3 and tied for 1st place in our division. We have one of the best defences in the NFL, and we are also 2 plays from being 5-1. We have finally found our QB, and he is winning without big names. Every game is exiting to watch. What is the excuse now?
-
I think the team was shocked at the amount of cut blocks the Rams were giving in the first quarter. I saw Ram players going after our linemen's knees on almost every play. Jeff Fisher is a dirty coach.
-
Cut blocks aren't dirty
-
Maybe in your world.
-
I understand that if we win games they place will sellout...I'm trying to tell you that the team is playing against more than the opponent, Sun life has none of the advantages that great buildings provide, sellout or not...there are advantages, for other teams, who play in different buildings..The building can alter the energy of players by its construction, bring the best out if of you as a performer..The building is what it's all about, we have the worst in the league and a fanbase in denial.

They are legal and I don't think anyone has proven they are a huge injury risk relative to other common aspects of gameplay.
