A dropped pass - almost an interception after an ill-advised attempt at a big play -- Fins need to focus on possession control the rest of the game instead -- for once in this game

And there is the interception Gase, Tannehill and the Dolphins seemed to be looking to throw this drive - you can't keep going for something that is not there at this stage of a game like this. You can't make mistakes like that on offense when your defense is suspect unless they get a turnover.

See, there is that stop by way of a takeaway by the Dolphins - Reshad Jones takes it to the TEN 12 yard line to set Fins up in good position for another score

Fins picked a bad time to give up the first sack of game

Time should be on the Fins side at this point of the game

Gruesome injury for Delanie Walker - good on the Fins defense to alert medical staff to get to him quick - it looks very bad. Emergency staff on field.

This stop should seal the deal finally for the Fins to close this game out -- if Adam Gase is willing to manage the rest of the clock the right way.

Fox just cut the game off locally at this point?

Fox came back to the game early enough to let us view the finishing touches. On a final note, lots of good things to see from the Fins on every phase - but still a lot of mistakes that they been making for too long.

They have things to work on before next week

We can agree to disagree. And, at this point of the day I don't recall the entire scenario that led to that play - so I can't remember if we were in the no-huddle or not, but that would be one of the negatives:you rush the play - you have fallen in love so to speak -- with a particular target, so its easy for the defense to get an idea of where the play might go -- the entire situation was telegraphed.

I know many will want to blame Tannehill but both players have some blame there -- Tannehill for forcing the issue -- and Gesicki for not playing defense when he realized he had no shot at the play.

And, of course -- some blame to Gase for putting the team in a bad situation there with that play call.

Again, I will never get tired of saying this -- you want to play the role of tough guy with your play calling? Fine. But at some point you have to realize that playing it smart is the better way to go.
Patsies run that play to gronk every game and it works every time. It's simple if you get a mismatch throw it. But you have to throw it high enough to get over the CB who's only 5'10 your TE is 6'6! Due to this it was a good call horrible execution. Apparently they practiced this all summer so not sure why Tanny didn't execute. This was not rushed it was second and goal...

It was a root canal but they found a way to win. Even though they made mistakes I can see a lot of potential. They'll get better...

The Fins got the win. That's what is important. There is room for improvement but it's a good start.

I am not directing this at you - just some people in general that I refer to the Tannehill haters and doubters - BUT, some times we forget that luck is a factor in the way things go. So, yeah, execution may not have been the best, etc but I think luck is as much of a factor for that not play turning out as we'd hope.

Thought maybe a prostate exam might be more accurate - but maybe you were just trying to keep things clean?

Looks like the Fins showed up more ready to play than the Titans. Both were not totally there but it was the 1st game in a year that most teams rested their starters in pre-season. Grats on the win against a playoff team from last year.....

Tanny accepted blame he said that it slipped out of his hand...who knows maybe Gesicki didn't run the right route and fell down? either way I expect to see that same play again although I'd rather see him post up instead of a fade...fade hasn't worked here in years.

Definitely a nice start and the titans aren't a joke...although I felt that the Fins could have walked in this game if they were sharper. They also left points on the field which they simply can't afford to do. Next week will be interesting would love to slam the door shut on the jets...
