Miami Dolphins Week 6 Game Thread

Ajayi finishes it with a TD. 15 point lead with about a minute and a half left in the third.

Need a stop by the defense and we could close this one early in the 4th

 

[Paolo305613]

Great stop by the defense

 

[Paolo305613]

Broadcasters again dropping knowledge to Fins fans -- And how the team feels they need to get the OL and all areas around Tannehill fixed before being able to more fairly and effectively judge Ryan Tannehill. Adam Gase seems to get it -- why not you, Fins nation?

 

[Paolo305613]

Andrew Franks shanks another. Lead remains only 15. A pooch punt might have been better there?

Franks time with the Fins is becoming questionable

 

[Paolo305613]

Byron Maxwell coming through that entire drive against AB. Playing much better after being in the doghouse.

Much needed stop after blowing another FG

 

[Paolo305613]

Great running the ball and much needed conversion. Eat up more clock and this one is over

 

[Paolo305613]

Great play action to move the chains.

 

[Paolo305613]

Another great play call and execution. Delay run on 2nd and 11. Perfect. Great audible call by Tannehill.

His haters will get on him , as usual for not having a TD pass in this game, but he has managed this game to perfection. Again, having a running game and your starting OL helps a great deal.

 

[Paolo305613]

Great punt

 

[Paolo305613]

Dolphins defense has decided to make this one interesting late

 

[Paolo305613]

Jay Ajayi again. This time to seal the victory. Caught the Steelers napping and this one is over.

 

[Paolo305613]

Dion Sims left the game early due to head injury. He is in concussion protocol. Tough break for us after this win. We are hurting at TE

 

[Paolo305613]

Early in the second quarter Tannehill avoided a sack and throw it down field to the TE. Being able to take that hit and breaking out of it looks even more significant now IMO. Had he gone down after taking that hit -- the tone of this game would probably be different. There would have been a negative domino effect after that IMO.

The running game and blocking won it for the Fins today

Agree with everything you posted Paolo I've been saying since the dawn of time that they need to run the ball and everything will be a lot better. It also helps that the oline was together for the first time.

Franks may need to go he almost single handedly lost the game for them. Happening too often on short FG's. I could make those kicks!

The refs were atrocious today as well. Missed a blatant pick on the 2 point conversion. Called back a Fins TD Gase showed the pic to the ref that they were wrong but they love the steelers.

Good game Miami faithful!

Epic collapse from the Steelers today. Miami played to win, and the Steelers' played scared.

Good luck the rest of the way!

Good game fin fans congrats

Not sure what to make of this win. Of course it is good to be on the W side of the game, can't beat the Titans but can beat the Steelers??

Sounds like Christensen called a different game today.

Need to beat Buffalo next week. Tall order, seems Bills have Fins number the past few years.

Thanks Steeler fans thats classy Ben was obviously off a bit but the Fins finally played to their ability.

I think that this proves that Tanny and the run game needs an oline and the depth isn't good enough. Starters in they are a different team. The team was obviously a little too patient with some of those onlinemen glad they are gone!

The Bills are a quality team, no doubt -- their record proves it as well as what they have actually shown on the field -- so my upcoming comments are in no way me overlooking them. The upcoming game could be a trap game of sorts. This game against the steelers didn't really get " close" until late. To some the score suggest the Fins dominated. Despite the kicking game woes, the Dolphins played a rather near perfect game compared to the rest of their performances this season - so naturally the team would go into the next game on a high.

But the kicking game woes should make the team approach the result of this game and game planning for next game with extreme caution. For as well as so many things went -- the kicking game as far as XPs and FGs is a major issue. They must work on this before next game. Tackling is still also a major issue for this team. At times it seems like a neglected aspect of the game for the Fins.

I'd go to Franks and tell him that if he doesn't elevate his 30 yard kicks more he's gone! Pretty simple he's kicking them like 55 yarders...
