Davis is back on the sideline with helmet in hand and questionable to return.

Mac Jones, the better Alabama QB of the two on the field , puts his team back in the lead - aided by a roughing the passer by the Dolphins.

Fins have to settle for a tie going into the half after Tua gets sacked after holding on to the ball for far too long trying to make something out of nothing -- forcing the issue as usual.

Fins back in lead. As the game moves along they will have to try and put a drive together to eat up some clock to give the defense a break -- but it may be too much to ask for Tua to be methodical in his approach.

Cheatriots bring the pressure to end the drive

 

[Paolo305613]

There goes Tua being Tua -- forcing the issue as the pocket collapses and it goes as an INT. A crucial time to throw an INT -- all on him. An absolute choke.

Dolphins defense to the rescue

Paolo, Are you upset that Tua helped the Fins win today?

Paolo, Are you upset that Tua helped the Fins win today?

Yes he is, His grand plan on getting rid of Tua just took a hit. I think he should be more upset that the D gave up close to 400 yards to a team led by a rookie QB??

The D just couldn’t get off the field on 3rd downs. But they allowed 1 TD, and that was gifted to NE with the low hit on the QB on 3rd down that should’ve been a sack.

I thought Tua was trying to throw it away but got hit when doing so. It didn’t seem clear to me.

At first it looked like a mental mistake. After the replay I now think it was the hit on him that affected his throw.

Tua made some clutch throws today. He also has some timely runs that helped the team. Parker was also clutch in the game. It was a good team win. The Fins showed a lot of toughness against a good team.

 

[BigFin]

It seems like Tua wasn’t as good in the shotgun as he was under center.

I have to give credit to the Pats defense.

The Fins got the win and that's the most important stat.

A lot of guys played well for the Fins on both sides of the ball and ST. I thought we would see more catches from WR Wilson. I am thinking that Fuller could make some plays next week. Congratulations to Waddle for getting his first NFL TD. Other Fins rookies also contributed.

The Fins defense must be exhausted after all those long drives. However, they made the Pats settle for FGs and that was the difference in the game (along with winning the turnover battle)

Fins take the early division lead. Go Fins!
