Screw the "moral victory" crap!

Rookie coach, rookie QB, yada yada yada. I have watched this team fail to close out games the last 2 weeks. The Jets game should've been a blowout and we could've easily won by 2 TDs today. There are so many holes that need fixed before we start winning games. I like what I'm seeing from Tanny, Bess, and Hartline, but that's all we have...mixed with a little Reggie every now and then. The line cost us on Tanny's fumble and the pick. On the fumble he didn't even get to the second of his 3-step drop. Our D showed up today for the most part, but our secondary is well below average. The Vonte trade may do wonders in the draft, but we are struggling because of it now. Whoever we use the pick on better be a solid contributor, or I will be ticked. I also agree with every poster here that we need to tryout a new kicker...yesterday! Carpenter has clearly lost his confidence and can't kick worth s**t. Is Olindo Mare available?? Lol. I guess I'm done ranting and raving for now. I'm just sick of rebuilding for the last 13 years. We are on our way, but I am becoming very impatient.

What's amazing is how well the team can operate between the 20s at times. Tannehill stood in the pocket and deliver accurate, clutch passes quite often today. The fact he threw 431 yards worth of passes and only 2 WRs helped in the effort shows how little talent we have.

Clay has surprisingly done nothing and Naanee has fully earned his inevitable release. You're absolutely right in that it's the Hartline, Bess and Bush Show right now. Nobody else is doing anything for the offense aside from Fasano now and again.

The defense did a great job today though. The Cardinals WRs are very talented and so the DBs did a rather respectable job. The pass rush exposed a bad flaw in the Cardinals O-line but up and down the defense played a great game.

Consistency is the name of the game in the NFL though. It's a tough loss. Hard to expect anyone to be happy about it but there are plenty of positives to take from this. The Cardinals are red-hot right now. We did all any team could've done to beat them aside from making our FGs.

Well being impatient is what has actually cost this franchise, filling up our cap space,trading away draft picks for players. Going with other tems trash QB's instead of developing our own. I am frustrated by todays loss no dooubt and it sucks, but for the first time we drafted a franchise QB who is showing promise we have alot of cap room next year and extra picks. I know for all of us long suffering fans its harrd to see but there is light at the end of the tunnel

Losing blows. Having a rookie quarterback that looks like he could be one of the best QBs in the league in a few years makes it blow a little less.

There's a lot of frustration today as we showed great strides today and we didn't close it out. We had 3 guys set records either individual or franchise. I would have loved to say with all that we pulled off the win.

The thing that makes it less frustrating is we have a QB that looked like a veteran out there. He commanded the pocket and led this team down the field. Bess and Hartline showing that we do have some talent on the WR position. The Ws are nice but hope for the future makes this loss ok

The Good:

I started Davone Bess and got 19 fantasy points today! Smile

The Bad:

I started Dennis Pitta who got 0.

The Ugly:

Not everyone on my bench is useless, Hartline went for 43 down there. Sad

Win or lose, this was the first productive game the Miami Dolphins have played in terms of internal growth in years.

Man I stopped getting emotional about Fins games a couple years ago. We all should watch the game without showing any emotion. When they make a big play I just take it in expecting several bad ones will follow. The only way you can be dissappointed is if your expectation level has not been met. I think Miami will win 4 or 5 games and that they are on pace for that. I was just hoping they did not become the laughing stock of the NFL and clearly the Jets have that covered. At least Miami has hope, the Jets are dreadful.

I only look for signs worth building off of. Although Tanney had a good day some of his completions were dumb luck. Most CB's would have turned around and deflected or picked at least two of his completions. Having said that, I only credit Tanney for one turnover. His fumble was not his fault. It was the coaches. They saw what the Cards were doing but still could not stop it. Overall, good learning experience. Nanee has not shown any reason why he deserves to be on the field. He has not contributed anything positive at this point.

Another thread that doesn't make sense, you make a thread out of a couple peoples opinions. I don't see any media sites praising us or anything, I still see no difference from last week or the week before by media presents so I don't know where you get this moral crap from.

Even out of every NFl pic on the front page right now I don't even see a pic of any dolphins. All I see is "Tannehill big day".
