He definitely deserves praise for being able to take these hits and keep playing.

IIRC head to head matchups while relevant in playoff seeding etc., are irrelevant in draft seeding.

I was going by GBN as to standings before the game

http://gbnreport.com/2016-weekly-first-round-selection-order/

and guessing that we would be at #7 after the loss, but this site shows up currently at #6

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000551301/article/2016-nfl-draft-order-and-needs-for-every-team

I was focusing on opponent W/L percentages and assuming the the NFL.com site is factoring in W/L percentages of this week's opponents.

If it is thought about, Adrian Peterson sure seems to have helped Christian Ponder and Teddy Bridgewater out a bit..

I like Miller and Ajayi, but our discarded Mike Gillislee ran today for almost 100 yards, a 50 yard TD and over 10 yards per carry. We have/had pretty good running backs, not like AP, but I think that the problem is the OL, plain and simple. If it was straight, Miller and Ajayi could bang out some yards, balance out the offense and take some pressure of of Tannehill. And keep him healthy.

My new nickname for RT. He deserves it, no one takes a beating like him and keeps going. If Tannenbaum and Hickey don't devote significant resources to the OL this offseason, shame on them. It's impossible to see what RT is capable of behind such a putrid line. Tannehill himself has a lot to prove, but playing behind that OL is just ridiculous.

Dennis Hickey won't be with the Dolphins next year.

Do you trust Ross to do that? I agree it's the right decision but because it's the right thing to do doesn't mean Ross will do it.

It's absolutely criminal that the dude straight kicked Tannehill in front of the ref, and there was no call. Seemed like he was going for the knee.

One of my working theories is the Rb position is devalued in favor of putting the majority of the load on the Qb, it is opportunity

Put it this way, Peterson's presence let Ponder become a "playoff Qb" Bridgewater benefitted as well, meanwhile b/c we are so pass heavy, and with a bad OL..somehow it makes more sense to put it on THill..a part of that is the D is just bad this yr, and ST is not exactly Elite by any stretch, ie "another possesion starts inside the 10 yd line"

I don't know, the Vikings also have a good defense this year, Stefon Diggs, etc. Todd Gurley was running like a maniac and the Rams still blew with no QB. AP is special, sounds more like an outlier theory. The Cowboys had a good yet not special RB in Darren McFadden but a pretty special running game behind that OL and they still sucked.

His nickname should be rubber and your name glue, because all his criticisms bounce off of him and stick to you.

Sort of, then Weeden lands on a different team and has himself a nice day at the office.

D's performance fluctuates, a O's rarely does, usually a trend upwards or downwards, usually varying on the performance of the Qb..my suggestion is more if Rb is added, the trend can move into a team's favor. One of the issues Dallas is having is putrid Qb play, look at the NYJ, Fitzy is hardly a franchise Qb yet they win.

Not a call to a return to WannyBall, rather realizing a good running game is like a good fastball in MLB..everything works off of that fastball. ATM, imo, Miller is kinda riding the fact we are so pass heavy it meant D's were not focused on stopping him..b/c the OL is primarily a pass blocking unit

the vikings have put up 30+ points in a game where their qb is 15/25 168 yards 1td.

Weeden had a nice day with Alfred Blue and Chris Polk as his running back?

That would go against your argument if you want to bring up today for Weeden.

Not this time of yr, to me, in the games that do not impact playoff stuff, they really do not account for very much.

suspect this is why Walden was going out on THill, he wants that film

People can say whatever they want about Weeden, but he has one of the best arms I've ever seen. Maybe he just needs some time, which is problematic because of his age, but Weeden is talented

Tannehill is going to be the new name for a QB being ruined for taking a beating. The new "Carr".

wow,it's almost like some of this have been tooting this horn for years now. Not that he doesn't have issues, but you can't overly criticize him with the terrible Oline we have. the ignoring of the line is a fireable offense IMO. To invest that much in a QB and ignore the line was criminal.

Ignore the OL?

We have poured a ton of resources into our OL. We just have spent those resources terribly.
