4:00 game today. Honestly didn't follow much pre-season at all so will have to learn who is who during the game. Starting at one of the toughest places to play on the road against one of the best in the NFL is not the best way to start BUT if you want to win in this league you have to beat the best so maybe they find a way to send a message.
Go Dolphins.

Yeah, this is definitely a statement game. Even though it's out of conference, this is a chance for the Phins to show that it truly is a new year and a different team, and not just the same old garbage.

It'll be interesting to see if Tannehill and the offense start off flat and sleepwalk through the first half - like usual - or if they can actually start with some good drives.

Kenny Stills doesn't stand for the national anthem then drops a wide open easy TD. Cut his ass.

Tannehill sucks. The quicker he's replaced the better!

S.O.D.

Defense again, forever it seems now, loses a lead with less than a minute left in the game. I can't count how many times that has happened in the past 20 years.

Then at the end of the game, the offensive line folds completely up, but there was no way they were going to move the ball anyway. Once again, playing just good enough to lose.

Tough loss. A few breaks and we could've pulled that out. Williams missing at the end hurt. Tanny played decent and had some big drops but just isn't a gamer.

RIDICULOUS!!! PREPOSTEROUS!!! DOWNRIGHT LUDICROUS!!!

I feel like a complete fool for even thinking for one millisecond the Fins would win. Yes, I just happened to check the score on espn.com and saw they had a 10-6 lead and the Seahawks had 4th and 4. Of course they lost. At least this time it wasn't because of a QB draw like so many other last-minute losses over the years.

Different names, same old garbage. Meh.

At least the Jets and Bills lost too. Could the Pats have a bigger division cakewalk this century? Bleh. They could start 1-3 with Garrapolo and still be in first. But they'll start 4-0 instead, just to rub our noses in it.

I'd much rather this team get blown out every time if they're just going to lose anyway. Makes it far easier to take.

Feh.

Just for the record. At 4:04, I believe it was, when we kicked off after taking the lead, I said the following, and I quote,"We left them with just enough time to score with 30 seconds left in the game, we'll get the ball inside our own 20, won't be able to move the ball at all, and we'll lose, because that's how these games always turn out for us."

My wife looked at me and said, "I'd normally call you negative, but this time I know you're right."

It would have been nice to be wrong for a fucking change, but no, when the defense of this team needs to come up big, they RARELY do. People talk about clutch on offense, the defense is just as much a bunch of shitbags. If it's up to you to close out the game, DO YOUR GOD DAMNED JOB.

Then Shithead McGhee decides to waste 7 seconds by returning a kickoff that's 6 yards into the end zone. Use your fucking brain.

Good job, guys. Well done. Way to almost beat someone. Nine more losses to go.

Even the vaunted JJ Ds were known for that, but it's been happening across every era of Fins football, from Shula onwards.

At least this time around as I said before they didn't let Wilson score via QB draw, that's how almost every loss of this type has occurred since the infamous '89 Bills opener.

I didn't even watch a second of the game and I'm pissed. I hate the NFL. Evil or Very Mad

If these guys were smart they wouldn't be football players. It's been obvious from his very first preseason return that Grant's determined to take every kickoff out of the end zone literally no matter what the situation.

Good job, guys.  Well done. Way to almost beat someone.  Nine more losses to go.

I cant wait for the local media to somehow spin this as a moral victory. By Wednesday they'll have convinced the sheep that this loss is in fact a sign of greatness somehow. Rolling Eyes

OH, and Franks . . . cut him.

You seriously kick a line-drive at the 10 yard line? Moron. Just one of a handful of head scratchers that would have won us the game. Stills protesting by not catching a touchdown pass that he had in his hands, and Franks kicking the ball like he was at the 50 yard line. You're a professional kicker, son. You need to understand when to pop the ball straight up and when to drive it.

Inside the 15, pop it up, it's shorter than a fucking extra point.

BTW Luck rallied his team back from a 21-3 deficit to take a lead before the Colts D blew that game anyway. But at least he did something besides muster up one TD and otherwise play like garbage. The failure to even TRY to suck for Luck in '11 is the biggest mistake this franchise has ever made.

That's already in full swing. I've heard, "We look much better," and, "We hung tough against one of the better teams in the NFL," as well as, "They're an NFC opponent, so it's doesn't matter as much."

I agree, it doesn't matter, because when your final record is 6-10, with an average margin of loss of 2 1/2 points, it really doesn't make a difference who you lost to.

Believe it or not, the 6-10 '11 Fins actually finished with a positive point differential. They still sucked though.

Officially it was a 27-yarder, so it was at the 17-yard line. He line drove it and Seattle blocked it at the line. Get some air under the ball, kid.

Yup, you're right. Cuttable offense.

Apparently Mario Williams was checked for a concussion, and Armando is saying it might be because he banged his head against a wall after the blocked field goal.

That can't be true . . . can it? That would be so perfectly Dolphins.

He can just copy and paste what he did for the Green Bay game a couple years ago. It was about the same with a little less scoring.

Read it and weep - just posted my thoughts.

And in case I wasn't clear, fuck Adam Gase...he coached like a goddamn Joe Philbin/Bill Lazor hybrid today. Seriously, that was one of the all-time worst coaching performances I've ever seen. Disgusting.

Earlier this year he said short passing is the NFL standard.
