We need to go to Clay more!

 

[Paolo305613]

But instead he targets Hartline and that happens

Another predictable call on third down and it fails… Shouldve gone with Miller there

 

[FlyerFinFan]

I wish they'd have done the Brady sneak.

 

[Paolo305613]

Win on a Safety… Gutsy shit!

 

[FlyerFinFan]

D wins it! Tough win against a tough team.

 

[Golden Spur]

Congrats, guys.

Huge win for the Fins. I think Wake is healthy again. At 4-4 the Fins still have a chance at the playoffs. The defense was great and the the offense played good enough. I think that we haven't seen the best of the Fins offense yet. They didn't make mistakes, ran the ball well, Tannehill made some cluth throws to take that game to OT.

They play Diego so definitely have a chance and the jets will fade.

The offense needs to play the way they did tonight mix up the run and pass as their line isn't good enough to just pass it down the field every play. We've seen it fail so I'm not sure why people don't get it. Proud of Tanny to move it at the end of the 4th. Not sure why they didn't sneak it on 3rd down in OT the whole right side was there. If Brady can do this why not Tanny???

I was impressed with Tanny in the 4th ... and the OT when it mattered!

Great win by the Fins tonite ... hope we get on a roll now!

Agreed The Fins had a good gameplan on Offense. The effective run game led to big plays by Wallace. Hartline is such a clutch player when the game is on the line. Clay & others deserve credit also. The Oline was really tested & passed the test. RE Tannehill's runs: He is starting to pick his spots better. He had the running TD. I would like to see him perfect the one yard conversion play like Brady. Part of that is the Oline creating space or running behind the center or an interior lineman with consistency & the Fin's Oline have their moments when they shine. THill is more athletic than Brady. It's easy to forget THill is on his 2nd yr & Brady has been playing more than a decade. I think THill is still getting better. At his best he could become the next Elway. THill makes great throws & some good decisions.

This is awesome - we should use this every time he gets a sack

FlyerFinFan,

I still think the Fins have a chance to win the division. If the Fins keep winning & the Pats lose just one game, the Fins can tie them for first place when they play in Miami.

That would be pretty awesome. Would the Dolphins have the tiebreaker in that scenario though?

BritishDolfan,

The Pats have had some early success in divisional games. The Fins would have to dominate the divisional games going forward. It's a challenge but not impossible. If the Fins win in Miami vs the Pats they would be 1-1 vs the Pats. #5 on this list is Strength of Victory. The Offense will really need to get it going to win in a tie breaker vs the Pats in this category. The Fins have 4 losses. The Pats have 2. From what I have seen of the Pats , I don't think they win out & go 14-2. Nearly all of their games are close. They may lose some close games going forward. All that being said, The Fins need to take it a week at a time. If they win out (I know that's a big if) they would be 12-4. That could still win the division.
