There is a lot of talk lately about whether Ryan Tannehill is the Dolphins answer at quarterback. My take is that I just don’t know. He shows flashes of brilliance but when he does have opportunities He sometimes has a tendency to miss open guys. He did again this week and that is not a good thing to have happen, especially when they are far and few between. I guess that is the real issue. Brady can miss a wide open guy, which he does occasionally, and it is OK because on the next play there is somebody else wide open. Not in Miami. There is not enough talent around the QB to really evaluate him. No, I’m not saying Tannehill is as good as Brady. We don’t know that yet. But he might be. Hard to tell at this point. I see a team that other teams now have on tape and know how to play and there is not enough talent to overcome the game planning. That falls squarely in the GM’s lap. He better have one hell of an off season.

Really?? That’s the best you could do? Big game. National TV. All of the football worlds’ eyes upon you and … and … you … *$^&#@! stink up the joint… AGAIN!!!

Across the board they were awful. Don’t tell me that Henne had a great game. He stunk. Receivers made some great catches to help him out. Highlight reel stuff. Is he going to get that every week? I think not. He was high and wide most of the night and he couldn’t (and can’t) throw a fade pass to save his life. One play in particular keeps replaying for me and illustrates the point. Marshall was running a crossing pattern and the other receivers had cleared out that side of the field. It was a brilliantly designed play and was the perfect call. Henne was late allowing the Safety to recover but even beyond that Marshall may have still been able to beat him except he had to slow down and reach behind him to catch the ball. If that ball is on the money and hits him in stride he is still running with it. The 13 yard gain was nice but a 60 yard TD would have been better. He’s inaccurate and that’s the worst thing that a QB can be.

Oh Reggie, come save us. Puuuullllleeeeaaaaassssseeeeee!!!!! Gawd he was awful. Haynesworth, one arm tackle, all you need to know.

Defense was so bad I just don’t know where to start. First, Vontae Davis, shut up. You think Brady didn’t hear that and say I’ll show him just how damn good he is? You can think that all you want but don’t put it in the papers as bulletin board fodder. Cam, WHERE THE HELL WHERE YOU LAST NIGHT. It was a freakin rookie across from you. Seriously. Jason, you were great with Zach but you diss’d the fans when you went to the Jets and now you’ve done it again by coming back. Please retire. And last but not least, you were gassed in the fourth quarter? At home? Really. What kind of conditioning drills have you been doing? The Pats do this all the time. It’s not like it was something new that they just pulled out of a hat and you didn’t know they were going to do it. There wasn’t a plan to handle it? Shame on you Tony.

And I will even tell you who is to blame. It was very obvious where the problem lies with this team. They were out gunned and out played at almost every position on the field. This falls on Jeff Ireland. Other than Jake, every personnel move has been suspect at best. After last night, if heads don’t roll today, then this team has no hope. Of course knowing them, they could have the first pick and not select Luck. It would fit their MO.
