Week 17 Dolphins @ Titans

The o-line is actually not playing bad today. Tua has had time to throw. I guess it's time to move on to excuse #2, the weather

And Julio

This first half reminds me of when we got smoked against the Bills last year that pretty much decided whether we go to the playoffs or not.. we seem to always fold when the games matter

For as long as I can remember

Waddle one catch zero yards.

Duke Johnson is ripping 7 yards per carry if anyone is looking for positives…

Tua might have big hands for a guy his size but, I don't see Tannehill having trouble holding on to the ball or throwing.

They're going to need a fumble eventually

Their OL isn't even that good. They're still missing 2 starters aren't they?

I agree re: Tua. He looks uncomfortable and a bit lost out there. Have to wonder about our coaches gameplan and preparation too maybe

Tua's not acclimating to the weather. He's having problems gripping the ball. Making unforced errors and even had a missed snap when it looked like his hands were out of position. He's also throwing passes off his regular velocity; almost like he's pulling a string. That's not an excuse (the weather) because it's not excusable and in the grand tally of assets and liabilities, it's a large item on the right side of his balance sheet. If playing in 40° and rain is a problem, how's he going to play in road games in NYC, Orchard Park and Foxboro. Definitely needs to figure it out.

Got to change!

Fulton is doing a good job on Waddle.

Time for a turnover.

My bad, I thought Saffold was still out.

That ball is out

That’s a fumble.

And yet flores doesnt challenge

Screw you NFL (WWE)!

So confused that's a that's a god damn fumble.

The game is lost, they won’t even look at the fumble they just want Tennessee to win

Nothing he could do.
Recovery has to be clear and obvious. That was anything but obvious.

If only they have the coach the ability to challenge

That doesn’t change anything officials, what a f‘n joke!!!

So my observations.

-Flores+Weather do you even look at the weather report? The game plan should have been a steady diet of Duke + Lindsay + Gaskin. But apparently in Flores' pea brain weather can't possibly affect a football game.

-Tua, well, I don't really need to say anything on that. He is who I thought he was, today he is worse than that. So much so that I'm almost ready to consider injecting Jacoby into the game. At least I don't have to hold my breath that he won't fumble every snap.

-Defense doing about as well as could be expected with TENN dominating T.O.P.

-The bright side about Flores being woefully unprepared, is that we have some semblance of hope being a second half team.

-If our offense doesn't start making some long drives for points immediately, our defense will be sucking wind by mid 3rd quarter, that's when the scoreboard gets ugly.

-OL my god you guys are sooooo bad. And I have no confidence it will get fixed because Grier. Even if he could put all the NFL rdy OLmen in a bucket he couldn't hit the target.

-DUUUUKE - If our coach wasn't a moron, we'd be seeing a lot more of him, and Lindsay.

-Wadde - Can't run crispy routes that leave him wide open, again, field conditions.

-Last Word - We should have come into this game preparing for a rushing battle, and lots of two TE sets. Game-planning, Game-planning, Game-planning. What were these guys doing all week I'd love too know. They certainly seem like they were caught completely off guard by the weather. Whether Tua is avg or potentially better than that in the future, that head full of hope is nice,

3 yards behind him? A little exaggerated but Gesicki did get both hands on the ball and he should have caught it.

Yes; 3 yards behind is an exageration. Just like saying becuase he got both hands on the ball that he should catch it. That's just not the case on a throw that's high and behind. It's an exaggerated expectation.

I think we can both agree though that Tua hasn't been as accurate as usual today. Usually IMO his ball placement is very good; he's just been off today. Weather; unprepared offense; who really knows but to me it's not normal to see him throwing like this.

Finally they get to him!

Time for the big boy pants after that punt…
