Might as well start this thread early since the Rams may put the Tua-led Fins out of their misery early

Funny, Dolphins win by 11 with your #1 draft pick's 1st game and you are miserable!

It will be interesting to see what WR Merritt can do. He has the athleticism to get open. Tua has the accuracy and field vision to make plays.

I am expecting a better game from the offense.

One of the biggest challenges will be containing QB Murray. He is excellent mobility and accuracy. The Fins have shown that they can pressure a pocket passer into mistakes. Murray is even more difficult to deal with.

It is going to get a lot more difficult for the Dolphins running game and offense as whole. Gaskin on IR for 3 games. Jordan Howard will get more carries now but still a big loss.

Will just be even more pressure for the defense to step up to save the Dolphins offense for what they lack in the running game and offense as a whole.

Matt Breida, Jamal Perry, Adam Pankey inactive today

Dolphins start on offense

The defense to the rescue of the Dolphins non-existent offense again

Good to see Jordan Howard get a score -- helps the running game -- and the rest of the offense since it isnt capable of much else right now

Isn't a TD a good thing when on offense? Tua drove them down the field he couldn't have done better???

 

[FlyerFinFan]

I think we can rest easy with Tua he's moving them up and down the field!

Another good scoring drive by Tua and the Fins. WR Williams has been having a great game. I thought it was a cheap shot that injured Williams. I have seen a few guys get hurt this year when a defensive player grabs a leg and rolls. It's a dangerous play. The league needs to review that for player safety.

The Fins had another defensive TD. Ogbah and Lawson combined for the impact play.

Nice drive by the Fins offense. Sanders with a great kick to increase the lead back to 7.

 

[Paolo305613]

+7 at the half for the Fins. A better start for our franchise game-manager but better than last game already -- will it be enough for what has been a back and forth game thus far?

 

[Paolo305613]

Meant to say another slow start for our franchise game-manager but better than in last game.

 

[Paolo305613]

Nice drive by the Dolphins to tie the game -- Hollins has to make a heck of a play on that ball to catch it. Lets see if the Dolphins will have enough on offense in this back and forth. Good drive aided by penalties.

 

[FlyerFinFan]

That throw was a thing of beauty!

 

[FlyerFinFan]

MR PERFECT!

 

[FlyerFinFan]

I'll take that game manager every game haha!

 

[FanofPelicans]

Tua just took another step in his career. He showed that he's a clutch guy in the NFL.

Sanders with the game winner. What a year he's having!

It was a total team win. Go Fins!

 

[Paolo305613]

Good win for the Fins. A better game for their franchise game-manager.

The team comes out of this one a little banged up and with some penalty issues more so than in other games. Have to fix that -- and will definetly need to find some more answers out of the running game moving forward to help the offense.
