Title: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: pondwater on November 13, 2016, 04:11:00 pm Lets see how the west coast flight affects us.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: pondwater on November 13, 2016, 04:22:53 pm Well that sucked!!!
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 04:44:22 pm Going to be tough for this team to outscore anyone when they can't establish Ajayi early like this.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 04:51:35 pm Dolphins' defense is holding San Diego to an atrocious 2.5 yards per play, but unfortunately the Dolphins' offense can muster only 3.5 yards per play.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 04:59:36 pm Dolphins' defense is holding San Diego to an atrocious 2.5 yards per play, but unfortunately the Dolphins' offense can muster only 3.5 yards per play. After that drive, that's now 4.9 Chargers to 3.5 Dolphins. Let's see if anyone has an answer on offense. Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 05:02:06 pm Ajayi at 2.4 yards per carry, Landry at 3 yards a reception.
It took about half the season for teams to figure out that you stick eight in the box to stop Ajayi, and cover Landry well, and the Dolphins' offense has no other reliable way of beating you. Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 05:09:44 pm And THERE'S a play quarterbacks make when they WIN games! ;D
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Tenshot13 on November 13, 2016, 05:10:28 pm Perfect throw. Beautiful
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: pondwater on November 13, 2016, 05:11:08 pm I'm not the biggest Tannehill fan, but that was a great pass.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 05:12:28 pm I'm not the biggest Tannehill fan, but that was a great pass. Finally something downfield that worked, that took advantage of the defense's doubling down to stop Ajayi. Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dave Gray on November 13, 2016, 05:15:40 pm Loved that throw.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: dolphins4life on November 13, 2016, 05:16:05 pm Bad luck around the league for the Dolphins, as the Broncos and the Chiefs pulled off come from behind victories
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Tenshot13 on November 13, 2016, 05:42:20 pm Bad luck around the league for the Dolphins, as the Broncos and the Chiefs pulled off come from behind victories Thanks Debbie Downer...can we please have this moment?Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dave Gray on November 13, 2016, 05:46:55 pm Another excellent throw.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: pondwater on November 13, 2016, 05:49:17 pm Gase must be snortin' coke with these guys at halftime, LOL.....
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 06:01:51 pm Byron Maxwell is incapable of playing zone coverage.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 06:10:41 pm And that was another WINNING play by a QB.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 06:15:06 pm One of the best games of Tannehill's career here.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: pondwater on November 13, 2016, 06:15:24 pm Another great throw and even better catch ;D
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Tenshot13 on November 13, 2016, 06:15:34 pm And that was another WINNING play by a QB. add in that TD pass too...perfect throw, great catch.Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Spider-Dan on November 13, 2016, 06:23:51 pm On the TV broadcast, it looked like Wake was lined up offsides on the play right after he got called for neutral zone infraction (the sack that didn't count because of defensive holding).
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: disappointedyearly on November 13, 2016, 06:25:57 pm God I hate Rivers sooo much.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 06:28:41 pm ...and that would be why turnover margin is so strongly correlated with winning....
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Run Ricky Run on November 13, 2016, 06:29:33 pm Jakeem grant for my sotg again. Fucking moron
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 06:32:37 pm ...and that, too, would be why turnover margin is so strongly correlated with winning. ;D
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: pondwater on November 13, 2016, 06:33:39 pm I honestly didn't think that we would be in it at this point in the game.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Spider-Dan on November 13, 2016, 06:34:23 pm Luckily for Rivers, that interception was no worse for his passing efficiency than an incompletion. ;)
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 06:35:18 pm Tannehill winning the QB rating battle 146.1 to 78.3 at this point. A huge margin.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: dolphins4life on November 13, 2016, 06:41:45 pm Are the Dolphins trying to break the NFL single game record for defensive penalties in a game?
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 06:43:12 pm Are the Dolphins trying to break the NFL single game record for defensive penalties in a game? And not only defensive penalties, but ones that involve automatic first downs and sustain drives. Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: pondwater on November 13, 2016, 06:43:41 pm If we keep letting them hang around we will lose this game.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: dolphins4life on November 13, 2016, 06:45:00 pm They are also trying to break the record for most third down conversions given up.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: pondwater on November 13, 2016, 06:45:20 pm Our cover guys suck ass.
Edit, never mind, hahaha Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 06:45:37 pm Lippett with poor coverage there. You have to understand how the down and distance situation and the defensive play call will make the quarterback have to throw if the pressure gets in there. He's playing as though it's 3rd and 15 instead of 3rd and 7.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 06:46:16 pm A true study in how a QB can lose a game for you if he throws enough INTs.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Tenshot13 on November 13, 2016, 06:46:45 pm Just when you think Maxwell can't get any worse, he goes and does that...AND TOTALLY REDEEMS HIMSELF!
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 06:47:55 pm Now thanks to Rivers's INTs, the QB rating battle is 136 to 70 in favor of Tannehill. I would venture to say that teams that have that lopsided a win in the QB rating battle win more than 90% of the games in the league.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 06:50:02 pm How can you call PI on a guy who's blocking and didn't get the ball thrown to him? ???
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: dolphins4life on November 13, 2016, 06:50:38 pm How can you call PI on a guy who's blocking and didn't get the ball thrown to him? ??? That's called a pick play. The question is how do you lose nine yards on first down. Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: pondwater on November 13, 2016, 06:53:12 pm This is silly
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 06:53:47 pm Rivers is going to want to redeem himself for those INTs here.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 06:56:01 pm I don't see how you can not have Cameron Wake in there right now.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 06:57:14 pm These DBs can't play effectively without committing penalties.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 06:59:10 pm 11 penalties for 81 yards today. I can't even imagine how many of them involved automatic first downs.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Spider-Dan on November 13, 2016, 06:59:41 pm SD has 7 first downs by penalty today.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: pondwater on November 13, 2016, 07:00:54 pm Well, the test of Tannehill is here. He has one chance left to win this game.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Run Ricky Run on November 13, 2016, 07:02:39 pm Wow
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 07:05:06 pm SD has 7 first downs by penalty today. And there you have the difference in the game, because nothing else they're doing is consistent with winning. Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 07:06:00 pm That was a disgusting non-call.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 07:06:56 pm Well, the test of Tannehill is here. He has one chance left to win this game. Tannehill did his part and hit Parker long under pressure, and the end zone pass was PI. Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 07:09:57 pm SD with 66 plays now. This is about when a defense wilts.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: disappointedyearly on November 13, 2016, 07:15:32 pm BOOM!
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Run Ricky Run on November 13, 2016, 07:15:43 pm Fuck yea!!!!
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: pondwater on November 13, 2016, 07:16:17 pm Holy fucking shit. Kiko backed out into coverage.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 07:16:47 pm Kiko Alonso just redeemed all of those dumb ass DBs who committed penalties all day long....
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 07:19:44 pm Wow -- what a win! ;D
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: EDGECRUSHER on November 13, 2016, 07:20:11 pm Miami's defense clutch in the 4th quarter? Trump President? Cubs World Series Champs? This year is insane.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: pondwater on November 13, 2016, 07:20:34 pm Game over. Would have been an easy win without all the holding calls.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: disappointedyearly on November 13, 2016, 07:20:53 pm Its been 8 years since a 4 win in a row season.
Title: Re: Dolphins @ Chargers Live Blog Post by: Dolfanalyst on November 13, 2016, 07:22:11 pm This was an amazingly well-called game on offense. 25 rushes, 4.2 yards a carry. 24 passes, 130.6 QB rating with a YPA of 10. :o
