come on ... they have won 10 straight primetime games in the dome and typically put up big numbers. I knew when the schedule came out, this was the most difficult game we would play
So what? That makes it ok to go in there and get embarrassed? I'm not saying they're bad, just not as good as people thought they were.
No not at all but I still say the Dolphins are a 9-10 win team after this murderous first 4 games of the schedule with 3 road games. I don't think anyone would say after a 3-0 start they were on the way to a 12 win season
I've heard enough people talk about the Dolphins winning the AFC East. Only way that happens is if the Pats are a 9-10 win team as well. Yeah you can win 9-10 games but that Falcons win looks less impressive after watching what we would probably all consider an average Pats team go into their building and beat them. The Saints are exposing some holes you have. I thought in the off season and still believe now, you overpaid Ellerbe, he's really not that good. He made all that money off a stretch of games with the Ravens last year where he played slightly above average for a little bit. He looks to be getting exposed badly tonight.
I don't think it's Ellerbe as much as Wheeler has looked bad tonight ... they haven't played great despite what Jon Gruden says in this broadcast. Fins have issues on the oline and Tannehill still has ball security issues while holding the ball too long at times. The oline has been a concern since the offseason when we put all the eggs in the Jon Martin basket
The only glaring hole is that they can't cover TEs and they knew that going into this game. Let's face it, they're not facing Brees every weekend so this game might just be an outlier.
quick little scat backs are starting to become an issue too with Jacquizz Rodgers, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Sproles lighting us up to a degree. Physical backs don't scare me at all against the Dolphin defense
Dolphins are still a good team, this saints team has really been playing lights out all season and their at home.
Dolphins suck against the TE. Luckily for them, they won't be playing against Brees and Graham every week. PS. At this rate, Graham is gonna get paid mega bucks.
hey I wanted to watch this game before saying anything more, didn't want to dig my hole any deeper in case the RT1 balled out... I posted those stats from Fitz to put things in perspective because they are remarkably similar to RTs through both their 3-0 starts, almost identical except Fitz had double the TD's. It is relevant. Mediocre players can have nice stretches. Great players show up against good teams. some comments in this thread: "RT is very good" "RT is really really good" "Looks like Dolphins have their" franchise QB "I LOVE what I see from Tannehill" Saints have a good D this year. The dome is as harsh an environment as there is. I just wanted to see if RT could make some plays, make it a game... 3 Int. 1 fumble. He made a couple nice throws in garbage time, cool. Like I said before, I think RT is a mediocre QB at best and he has shown me nothing so far to change my mind.
haha... I had a crazy showdown... down one point going into this game. He had Graham, I had Sproles. Won by a point and a half wow.
Tannehill has had trouble protecting the ball. I'd say thats another one right there. Your O-Line looked really bad tn too. Your not going to face Brees every week but you can't come away from this game just thinking Brees is the only QB who can do that to you.
RT looked a lot like Mark Sanchez last night. Saints are slowly finding their rhtym. They are real good at home.
I love the Saints man, I cant hate that team...I admire Brees so much. My favorite QB. Glad to see that people saw Tannehill have a Sanchez like game.
I hope he's not like Sanchez or they will have a chance to go deep in the playoffs. Interestingly enough in mark's rookie year we were 3-0 and he had played well then we went to NO and he had a bad game and we lost, this is Tannehill's 2nd season but the path was similar.
you don't win as much as we did w/ poor QB play. No he didn't carry us, we were a D first team but he was a big part. This is about the dolphins not mark so let's try to keep it about them.
