We should have put Matt Moore in the football game! :up:

 

Legadu Naanee had 1 catch,


DOMINATION!!!!

 

Arizona made the big plays when needed a we didn't. The Tannehill smack down on the snap resulting in the fumble, the multiple 4 th down conversions and the INT in OT where Tanny got hit. They won by executing when they had no margin of error

 

This team needs to just start calling a full TO halfway through the 4th quarter and have an entire team meeting, am I right. :pity:

 

Should have ran it more with Bush...

 

i have absolutely no problem with today's play calling on offense, sherman called a great game imo, this was all about execution

 

What this really shows is that statistics really doesn't mean much in sports. It all comes down to which teams make the plays when the game is on the line. If statistics were what counted, there would be no reason to keep score.

 

You are 100% correct AL13.

 

You liked that little pitch out play? I mean I know execution is one thing but Sherman forgot to take his meds on that one.

 

I thought it was qb rating last week...

 

I agree that turnovers are a major variable regarding wins and losses. I just don't put much stock in all the other statistics you listed above. I apologize for not reading though your entire comments before writing my response. I was stuck on all the other stats you listed and failed to read your comments regarding the turnovers. Sorry about that.

 

Higher .... Hold on... So we won right?

 

Played well enough to overcome a -1, but not a -2.

 

Like last week, one of out two stops on 4th down and we win. Last week it was one out of 2 FG's.

Luck plays in to this.

 

Haha I'm just messing with you I really wish that we could have tannehills fumble back. Part of the growth process I guess.

 

Agree 100%.

 

Was it 2nd or 3rd down? I don't recall

 

Whats frustrating is that plays were consequently made, that seemed to otherwise nullify the turnover.

[whine]I despise the idea of being that pitiful team, who's woeful December record, fails to reveal numerous matchups throughout the year, where the team almost won, yet somehow got punked in the closing minutes.
Deserving to win and losing, particularly on a continual basis can be more defeating than just getting beat.[/whine]

 

Reminds me of the Colts game with Penny in 2009...

That game we had the TOP 45-15 and we still lost, due to big plays allowed and not executng when we needed also...

We are coming aound, most of us noted that this team will struggle early this year and will get better as the season progresses... I am still hoping that be true...

 

That fumbled on the play where Thill got blind sided when going back to pass... We recovered the ball right???

We probably would have fumbled on the handoff since these guys were on the backfield that quick... and we probably would have lost the possesion...

 

I personally had no issue with the call. They were sending 8-9 people every play and had all their timeouts plus the two minute warning if I'm not mistaken. A first down wouldn't have iced the game and sending all those men there isn't even a guarantee you'll pick up the first. A quick pass might actually end up with a huge gain there and pretty much ice the game by flipping field position at the very least.

Poor execution on a good call IMO

 

100%.

 

That pass call when tanny fumbled was a joke. Why throw there? 2 TE set, pound it in the middle. or off tackle with Reggie.

 

Couldn't agree more with running on 2nd and 8. Then run on 3rd and long and pin them back and make Kevin Kolb beat you by driving 85-95 yards with 2 minutes and 0 timeouts.

I normally don't second-guess play-calling. But I did there. Especially with the relative success of the previous 4-5 runs.

 

The reason we lost the game is (as crazy as it sounds) because we didn't score enough points! Plenty of yards, but no points, thanks in part to Carpenter. As many have said, it isn't Bess and Hartline, they are solid, it is no one behind them... Naanee proved he is complete garbage out there. Was Armstrong even in the game?

 

I cant believe people are still *****ing about a play that resulted from Arizona pullin a Maddenesque Nano Blitz cheat. Hard to tell but it was the right call given the circumstances; just crap execution. Like someone previously stated, the defender was in the backfield literally within 2 seconds of the snap. We would have been screwed no matter what the call would have been.
