He's not completely wrong, both teams were pretty equally bad, those two big plays are essentially the score they lost by. It's just they sucked regardless.

That entire week practicing in the heat and humidity of Miami...all for naught. Poor Bill.

Just like when he was defied last year for practicing out in the cold before the playoff game - what a freaking genius that helped so much

My response to the game, the level of play, and both teams involved (in the words of a Babely Canuck):

For anyone didn't watch pats/dolphins game yesterday but saw Tua's stats, here is every of his throws yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3A-q7UKWOA

 

To be fair, he did what his coaches asked him to do and he had an okay game, but there is no year 3 jump at least based on the first game. Tua is still the same quarterback as his was in first two years.

No point, it's boneless.

 

Jones,atm, simply isn't good enough. Either with his arm (although it's at least a bit better than Tua's) or his head.

 

Needing an X-Ray, is probably all his own fault for stuffing up his own protections and getting blindsided by a Fin, who came hurtling at him totally untouched, and then absolutely levelled him (fairly I might add).

 

 

Pats lack in team speed.  They were running the ball pretty well on 1st and 2nd down but Noodles Macorkle cant finish the job on 3rd.  I've never seen such gently thrown passes in the NFL before.

That may have been the worst 70% completion, 270 yard performance I have seen. Little to no pocket awareness, just awful decisions under pressure, and the US postal service can deliver anything quicker than any Tua pass over 20 yards...

 

Thank goodness he has some receivers that can actually make something out of those short passes.

 

You are right, it is hard to see any real growth in his game.

Assuming Tua is who he is so to speak, it still may be good enough for Miami this year assuming they can win games consistently against teams they should beat.

 

If Tua doesn't step up they obviously going to have uphill climb against the bills and other top contenders.

If that doesn't sound like a man resigned to his fate this year I don't know what does.

This looked pretty bizarre to me. It has as much a look of bullying as it does the traditional Gatorade dunk.

Right. They were equally bad. The Pats**** somehow managed to not come up up with either of two sure interceptions or any big play, while the Fins had 3 big plays. And Tua's stat line of 23-33, 270 yds, 1 TD, and 0 INTs should have been more along the lines of 19-33, 190 Yds, 1 TD, 2 INTs, and 2 intentional grounding calls.

 

Neither team was very good in that game.

Ravens are probably going to clap this Dolphins team which while a good thing I kind of wish they were still riding high going into week 3.

If the Dolphins someone beat the Ravens I'll truly be concerned about week 3, deep down I already am unfortunately.

Somehow I now feel even better about that game.

I know some of you think this is fun and games, but the Dolphins are hungry and looking to make a move. In fact there are videos on social media of their fans saying 'bring on the bills' after dominating the patriots yesterday.

 

This McDaniel cat is strange but may truly be a football savant if he can turn things around in Miami...

Of course Dolphins fans are hungry for a win against the Bills they've lost the last 7 games. If they said something along the lines of bring on the Bills we just dominated the Patriots they must have been pretty drunk that game was terrible for both teams.

If we don't go 6-0 in the division it will be a terrible failure.

They are still division rivals, they will still be amped up and giving the Bills their best shot. Pats beat the Bills last year throwing the ball what? Once? Twice? Did anyone see that coming?

How old is Tremaine Edmunds in this thread?

So you are saying they been giving the Bills "their best shot" and have a +19ppg gap in those games?

You had posts last year predicting the Bills losing to almost every team they played, including that gem where you predicted a blow out loss to the Jets - and you started this season posting that you thought it was likely the Bills would lose to the Rams. So I am fully expecting a post predicting a loss to the Dolphins as the game gets closer...
