Thanks RT, I sure could use a break from him even if it's only for a week.  ;D

Lol. A+ post.

How? He sucked ass for most of them game and most of the game thread showed it. They won in spite of him, not because of him. -EK

And Fireman EK will run and hide for a week for looking like a fool! ha ha ha ha ha

I love it!

3 scoring drives in the 4th quarter led by him!

Fireman EK=LOW FOOTBALL IQ if you think he had nothing to do with today's win. He was the reason they won today!

You're just pissed because you watched the game and Miami won. LOL

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Who's hiding? Tannehill was just plain bad for most of the game. Sorry you get so butt hurt because of that, but sucking for all but one drive isn't going to shut anyone up. The game I saw had two scoring drives led by a strong running game, and Tannehill throwing the ball in the end zone to the wrong team. Speaking of low football IQ's tell us again how Thomas had a better day than Bush. -EK

Uh, they had 3 scoring drives alone in the 4th quarter...2 of which for TD's

Sorry you get so butt hurt everytime Tannehill does something good.

EK isn't even happy after a Dolphins win. And he wonders why we all think he is a Jets fan when he still defends them when they get blown out game after game after game. But when the Fins win all he does is hate on them!

Where am I hating on them? Your perspective is grossly skewed. I have Bush nothing but love throughout that game thread- you, on the other hand hated on him. Kettle? Pot? -EK

Sorry, I got to agree with EK on this one. Tanne sucked for 3 quarters and if not for that bogus call that negated his interception,he would have single handedly lost this game for us. I am glad we won and give Tanne credit for a couple good drives at the end of the game. Tanne gets credit for good 1 quarter of play. 1 quarter of play does not a make a full game and will not win games in this league. If he can get consistent with it, great. But that garbage they put on the field today is nothing to go around celebrating.

Wait, I thought the 4th quarter was the only quarter that mattered?

Don't defend EK because he has brought this upon himself. He's been spouting off for 3 weeks now, well this week is OUR turn. EK is gonna get a earful of it this week. If you don't want to hear it, don't read the Tannehill threads. I'll make you a deal, EK doesn't write another post about Tannehill for the remainder of the year and I won't either.

Actually, points win/loss record is all that matters. But to your point, no all 4 quarters matter. You will not win consistently in this league by playing 1 good quarter and 3 bad/mediocre quarters per game. That is pure silliness !!!

Defend EK ? WTF are you talking about ? I simply said that I agree with his assessment of this game. If you want to bicker back and forth with EK over a difference of OPINIONS about Tannehill, have at it. You are only embarrassing yourself.


"well this week is OUR turn "? Turn to what ? You may be able to argue that the dolphins won this game, but if you're going to argue that Tannehill had a great game then I just have to laugh at you. Tanne did what he had to do to win a game. That's all, that's it, nothing more. He did not have a great game by any stretch of the imagination.

EK sure spends a lot more time defending Tebow as a Bronco, than RT who wishes he had someone like Thomas as a WR, who Tebow had last season.
Where is all the optimism you had for Tebow? Tebow was not even a rookie when he got his big chance last season. RT deserves a little more leeway based on the available talent around him, and the fact he is a true rookie and has not had a season to digest the offense prior to hitting the field.

That's only when its Tebow. When its Tannehill, Fireman EK is allowed to be a hypocrite and do a total 180! lol lol


Edit - keep it up the belt.  ~Maine

Because EK isn't a Dolphins fan! He is a message board troll on this site

Fireman EK labeled him a BUST at halftime of the Week 1 game. You want leeway from Fireman EK?!! LOL...cute. The fact he wasn't Brady or Manning during the 1st quarter of his first ever game got him the bust label. Don't you know all rookies are supposed to be "perfect" in his eyes (unless their name is Mark Sanchez or Tim Tebow...then its ok to make mistakes he will defend them)

Tannehill's 4th quarter stats

4th Quarter: 7 of 9, 156 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT, perfect 158.3 rating

I give Tannehill credit for not shrinking in the 4th quarter. He's a rookie for crying out loud. You want to blame someone, how about Sherman for closing the field these last couple of games. How about Ireland for being Ireland. If you can bounce back from a bad start and lead a team to victory, then you're on your way. Bad start. Good finish. Way to go, Tannehill.

And the Dolphins won, so I don't understand the point.

EKnight, MikeO and Badger.  Coming soon to a theatre near you.

Ek, I don't post on here but when I do I'm a fasano backer and it's no lie about that.  I come here for comical relief at times. (mostly by you)  I've followed this board and team for the past 3 years.  I hate to use harsh language and it's going to be the last post for a bit but you ek are a douche.  Plain and simple.  You are a cancer. 

There's no football talk to back up this helacious quote from me.  Only a multitude of bullshit from you as a cancer to the team.

Have fun guys.

Barely won on the last play of the game. And the point is that the Dolphins did not play a good game today. If they continue to play like this, they will lose much more than they will win. The name of the thread implies that we are talking about Tannehill. In that sense, the point is that he looked like total shit for 75% of the game and if not for one penalty he would have lost the game all by himself. Put simply, the refs bailed him out. That won't happen on a consistent basis

No thanks, I'll pass. Let those two beat each other with sticks. I'll just call it like I see it. And overall today I saw a very mediocre and lackluster Dolphins team today that barely one on the last play of the game. Same shit, different season !!!

Winning and losing is the only thing that matters. Remember?

So why are you trying to derail the thread then? Let's face facts, Tannehill brought the team from behind and got the 'W'. There should be nothing for you to bitch about if you really believe what you say, but who are we kidding? This was a good day for Tannehill and the Dolphins, it's a shame that some people can't see the forest for the trees.

Perhaps you could advise them on the art of playing a fictional character...

Yea, we won and Tannehill had a good 4th quarter. He sucked ass the rest of the game. Luck of the draw had a lot to do with winning today. Just because we won doesn't mean that it was a good game for Tannehill or the Dolphins. If they play 10 games like they played today, they will lose 6-7 of them. You did the same silly shit with Henne.

So then, Tannehill had the best possible game today, right?  Because he got a W, which you just said is "all that matters."

Blah, blah, blah. No, Tannehill had a good quarter, period. Obviously you don't understand that these kinds of performances aren't going to win games consistently. Now go argue with EK or Mike about Tannehill's shitty game...

NOTHING TO ARGUE ABOUT! Tannehill led 3 fourth quarter scoring drives. 2 of which resulted in touchdowns. He had a PERFECT QB rating in the 4th quarter and some of you want to nit-pick about ticky tack stuff that doesn't matter. Some of you expect him to be Peyton, Eli, or Brady in his first year. And what really F'n gets me is most all of us predicted this team to win between 2-4 games, we are already at 5 wins and its not even December and yet some of you people are still unhappy?!? THE TEAM PASSED YOU'RE OWN EXPECTATIONS AND AREN'T HAPPY??? I DON"T GET IT!!!

4th quarter and the team down, Tannehill took the team on his back today and carried them to a win! And its not enough for some of you? You still want to bitch and complain after a win vs a good team

Tannehill could go 25/26 for 300 yards and 3 TD's and some here would bitch he had 1 incompletion! It's never enough!

That sentence makes no fucking sense at all. Just so ya know!!

Luck of the draw? What does that even mean? The Dolphins won because they made more plays in the 4th quarter with the game on the line, Tannehill made more plays than Wilson with the game on the line in the 4th quarter. Not luck of the draw (whatever that even means)

Do you realize the last time that the Dolphins went into the 4th quarter down by a TD and won was 2005? Seven years and god knows how many QB's ago. But you're probably right we should all bitch about the fact that Dolphins weren't winning going into the 4th quarter in the first place because that's what real fans do. Only the most jaded of Dolphins fans think like that, but we have you and EK to keep us level headed. Thank goodness that almost everyone on this site besides you two are fanatics and are just happy when the Dolphins win, no matter how it happened.

Lighten up Francis! - Sergeant Hulka

My guess is he is saying that roughing the passer penalty was lucky, otherwise we lose.

how is it lucky? You can't hit the QB in the head. It's the rule! lol....amazing. That isn't luck. Seattle committed a penalty! It's not even debatable! WOW, unreal how some people are still miserable even after the team has a good win!

I teach business, not drama.  Lord knows those guys  breed enough drama on their own.   ;)

You mean like Golden Tate's catch that set up Seattle's first TD that was offensive pass interference? Yeah, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good and usually those things even out in a season, sometimes they even out in the same game.  ;D

Bullshit.  That play was penalty free.  You sound like a homer.

I don't mind talking shit about EK, or even MikeO for that matter, because they both deserve loads of it for the cow turds they spew at each other on this board, but this is ridiculous.

Can we just start acting like grownups and leave the juvenile stuff behind us?  There are some of us who want to talk about actual things that happened during the game and not the made up drama 2 people can't seem to leave behind them.

There was either a push in the back or pull on the shoulder pads that allowed Tate to get to the ball against a DB who was looking back for the ball. That's pass interference on the defense if they do that, in my book that's pass interference on the offense. Now you can argue that it would have been a questionable call and I won't argue, but no more questionable than the call that went against Seattle on that Tannehill pick. If you are gonna say that's a lucky call, then you can call the non-call on Tate lucky. One went against Seattle and one went against Miami and both teams scored a play or 2 later. They evened out. That was my point.

That's just my opinion I could be wrong. I could be a homer...I probably am.

Funny comment during the game.

I had to listen to a Seattle broadcast on my phone to hear the game so obviously they were Seahawk homers. Well after the roughing the passer call one of them said "Where are those replacement refs when you need them?".  Made me laugh.

It was offensive pass interference on that play

I'm just saying from what I thought I saw him post in another thread. The announcers were saying that probably shouldn't have been a penalty since there's no way he could have stopped himself. I do believe it was a penalty with the current rules.

It was definately offensive pass interference and it should have been called. Oh well. You don't get all of the calls. I guess the roughing the passer was karma for them missing that call.

One and only warning on this one ~

Bring down the tone towards each other or it gets locked.  Keep it about the game / player / etc, not about each other.

Thanks.

What did you expect from a thread that was titled with a member's name in it? The entire thing was "about each other." MikeO wonders why I don't post after a win, it's because it's never enough to keep conversations here in bounds of games and players- he starts with the childish name-calling and the thread degenerates from there. EVERY thread. It's why I stopped responding in this one yesterday.

Re. the call for hitting Tannehill, even the Dolphins reporters call it questionable. He got bailed out on it.

"Having said that, he got bailed out by a questionable roughing penalty that nullified perhaps his dumbest throw of the season — a throw against his body into a crowd that was intercepted. The penalty erased the interception from the stats, but not from memory."

Tannehill HIMSELF knew the call wasn't great- his quote on the officials in the game:

Tannehill chuckled when asked about the officials negating his turnover.
 
“They were looking out for me today,” he said.


-EK

That's the excuse you're using for why you were stone silent in Week 2?  Why you suddenly went M.I.A. in weeks 5, 6, and 8?

Maybe if you weren't so hyperactive in loudly proclaiming how much Tannehill sucks during every loss, people wouldn't feel the need to rub it in your face after every win.  In fact, had you not pulled a disappearing act after the wins earlier in the season, this entire "EK only shows up after a loss" theme would never have been created.

I'm not discounting the fact that the call bailed him out, I'm just saying that the call was the correct call based on the rules and it happens from time to time with all QB's including Seattle's. The pass to Tate that set up Seattle's first TD could have been called OPI too, Tate was bailed out by the refs by NOT throwing a flag on that one in my opinion. If you want to call Tannehill lucky on the one play then you have to admit that Tate was lucky as well and if you take away both TD's, you could have ended up with the same result, Miami still wins with a FG at the end of regulation. That's how the game of supposition works. You can't simply say "Suppose that call isn't made, then Seattle wins" without acknowledging the other possibilities as well. At least not without being unbiased about it.

Now forgetting for a moment all this supposition stuff, suppose we just focus on what ACTUALLY happened. Tannehill brought the team from behind TWICE in the 4th quarter to tie the game and then drove the Dolphins for the game winning FG. That's a HUGE accomplishment which you have YET to acknowledge. Earlier in the year there was a couple of posts where people talked about how they needed to see that from Tannehill, well now they have. Anyone who is being unbaised about Tannehill HAS to recognize that was a pretty important step. It's ONLY a step, no one is claiming this now means that Tannehill is the savior, it just means that it's a step in the RIGHT direction. For me that's enough because that's ALL this year is about, a step in the right direction. For you to continue to argue against it is baseless since only the week before you were claiming that Tannehill snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in the 4th quarter. Well he didn't THIS GAME. This game he played well in the 4th quarter. I don't know if it will EVER happen again, but you have to admit that it happened ONCE. The ability is there to lead the team to a come from behind victory. Now we just have to see it again.

Admit that, if you can.

I admit it was a step in the right direction. No doubt. 100% absolutely. BUT- and this is a big but- it doesn't excuse the fact that he was playing one of his WORST games up to that point, and made some horrbile decisions. The run game absolutely carried him in the fourth quarter until the last drive, but everyone is acting like RT played a perfect quarter. Not so. Bush and Thomas had nearly a third of their rushing yards in that quarter. And starting a thread solely for the purpose of "calling out" another member is why so many of these threads end up in personal attacks. -EK

Agree with most..... Fins got lucky on that call and while RT made some good plays, he also made some bad decisions. It comes with being a rookie.

Maybe I give the Seahawks too much credit, but I think the Fins had a good outing against one of the leagues better defenses....esp. running the ball and stopping the run.

Let's revisit shall we?

Week 5 I STARTED a thread about Tannehill. No one responded. Not my fault. Not MIA:

http://www.thedolphinsmakemecry.com/forums/index.php?topic=20664.0

The week after the Rams loss, in the Tannehill thread, wherein I AGREED with you:

http://www.thedolphinsmakemecry.com/forums/index.php?topic=20686.15

And the "Tied for first place thread"

http://www.thedolphinsmakemecry.com/forums/index.php?topic=20723.0

And gee...wonder why I didn't post in the thread for the Jets game? I counted 3 separate posts from MikeO that were blatant name-calling attacks on me, in a thread that I wasn't taking part in. Landshark is forever telling us to "cut the drama," but I can't win, can I? If I don't respond to MikeO's baiting, then I'm MIA or only come around for a loss. If I DO respond, then it's my fault there's drama. Obviously, you're wrong about me not posting after wins, because I just linked some of the threads I DID post in, and I just gave you the reason I didn't post in the Jets thread. I didn't create these links. They are what they are. Let's not twist history, when I can provide what actually happened. -EK

I've tried to reason with you on at least a dozen threads about Tannehill, but you'll have none of it. You lobbed the first grenade with the post about Tannehill "sucks" and how you called it and how you didn't care what anyone here thought about you. That was after I had made several attempts to ask you to tone it down on Tannehill. Well I've grown tired of asking politely so I returned the favor and lobbed a grenade of my own. I didn't think you would really mind that much seeing as how you couldn't care less what anyone on these forums thinks about you. Yeah, in hindsight it wasn't maybe the smartest thing I've ever done, but in my opinion you've got what you deserved. Payback is a bitch.

I'll drop it now, but I didn't start this, I only continued it. For that I apologize.

Pappy, that's cool. I have no issue with it. But in all fairness, a mod can't expect a thread like this to NOT end up  in personal attacks, which, btw, you'll note I had nothing to do with. It's just my opinion, but I see a clear difference between thread A: "Tannehill sucks, blah, blah, blah," and thread B: "Tannehill shuts up a member." -EK

Yeah, "I couldn't post because people would have said mean things" is not even close to an excuse.

The reason why this thread exists is because of the enormous volumes of anti-Tannehill trash you have been talking after every loss (starting with declaring him a failed pick at HALFTIME OF THE FIRST GAME), followed by invisibility or a few paltry lines of grudging left-handed compliments after a win.

The fact that you are a prolific poster after every loss but much more subdued after each win is something that one would expect from a fan of another team, not a fan of the Dolphins.  It seems like your perspective is, if there's nothing negative to say about Tannehill, there's not much worth talking about.

Spider, I don't expect you to follow how often I do or don't post, but if you had, you would have noticed I don't post in ANY of the boards as frequently, irrespective of the outcome of Dolphins games. Has nothing to do with any player/team performance. I just don't frequent the boards as much. You're making something out of nothing here. You flat said I disappeared after the losses and I showed you otherwise. You were wrong. There's nothing more to discuss. -EK

Agreed.  There isn't anything left to discuss in this thread.
