Re: game thread Dolphins-Falcons

I want to shut the F'n TV off now. What a punch in the gut.

How can you say this isn't complimentary football? The offense sucks just as badly as the defense and special teams!

What a run by Tua!  Broke a tackle to get to 1st and goal.  Once again he got flushed out by a garbage OL effort.

Exactly!  It's like watching a comedy routine, with everyone stumbling and bumbling in incompetence.  But we do have 1st and goal...which means that if we get a TD, the defense is sure to allow a TD drive immediately after.

[JMP]

TD Gaskin.  Great job by Tua going through his progressions and wisely settling for the dumpoff.  Nice footwork by Gaskin to stay in.  Impressive drive, finally.

[HalCHorn]

The two INT's have been horrific, but I think experience and better O-line play will take care of that issue. I appreciate what Tua has shown in terms of accuracy and grit. Just let him play, and try to make plays. I think he could win with even a competent O-line and coaching staff in place, and I think we have guys like Waddle and Gesicki who could make big plays with the same.

[JMP]

Oh my God, this fucking defense.  Falcons are backed up deep, 3rd and long...and they allow a 5 yard catch to become an 11 yard play, and follow that up with an 11 yard run.  What crap.

[HalCHorn]

incredible how much this D has regressed from last year.

  I know this sounds like an excuse, but it's just impossible to really evaluate Tua with this OL.  Tua has been wildly inconsistent today, doing great things and awful things, but he's been under constant pressure and has no time to make the plays downfield that this team so desperately needs.  The fact is, this offense just doesn't score.  I mean, you know it's bad when scoring 3 TDs in one game is cause for celebration.

[JMP]

D makes another play!  Wow!  Ogbah forced fumble recovered by Needham!

And Waddle follows with a big play - that is called back on a penalty  As expected.

[JMP]

And on the very next play...another penalty.  What a bunch of LOSERS.

[JMP]

Do my eyes deceive me?  Jackson with a pancake block out front on a screen! 

[JMP]

Gaskin and Ahmed making plays!

[JMP]

And then Gaskin loses 5 on the very next play.  UGH!!

[JMP]

Shaheen drops pass as Tua rushes the throw to avoid getting crushed again.  3rd and 15.

[JMP]

Tua first down to Gesicki!!!!

[JMP]

2nd and goal...come on Phins!

[HalCHorn]

The dickheads over at the site that I refuse to name or help get clicks (or I should say, the dickhead, singular) keeps using Tua's INTs to campaign for a Watson trade. He fits right in with the legacy media: present ONLY the evidence that supports your position, ignore everything that doesn't. Then again he's always been an activist instead of a journalist.

[JMP]

Killer fake by Tua!  TD to Hollins in the back of the end zone!!!!

[JMP]

I gotta say...as inconsistent as Tua has been, most of it is not his fault - and this dude has NO QUIT in him.  He just keeps fighting.  He is tough as nails and is overflowing with GUTS.  Fuck Deshaun Watson - we have a QB.  Now, we just need to give him coaching and an OL.

[JMP]

And on one play, the defense allows the Falcons to get almost to midfield.  What the fuck.

[HalCHorn]

I wonder if the dickhead-who-I-shall-not-name over at a certain site will post an update about Tua leading us to the go ahead TD late in the fourth quarter with his 4th TD pass will see fit to post an update article for that. Probably not, I'd guess.

[JMP]

Falcons in FG range thanks to a gutless defense.  Game over, barring a miracle.

[HalCHorn]

Sucks to lose this.

[JEGnj]

Tua had a good game with 2 bad throws. D and penalties cost this game.
