It's a sad state of affairs when one of the main things I look forward to after a MIA win is to come here and throw it in the face of other supposed "Dolphins fans."

How terribly bittersweet it must be for you to see the MIA starting quarterback win a game.

LMAO!!!  F' the YPA nonsense!! LOL

All the haters will continue to hate. F' them too

Don't look now, but YPA told the story of the day.

When YPA was poor, so was the offense.  When it was very good, so was the offense.

My lord, think, people.

So you're saying that offensive drives that end in TDs are a good thing?

Amazing analysis.  Where can I sign up for your newsletter?

Not sure who you're addressing, but I for one think it's absolutely terrific!

I was just fist-pumping and yelling at my TV!

No, I'm saying YPA is the strongest index of the probability of that, a point you seem comfortable illustrating yourself as incapable of grasping in your attempt to caricature it.

Half of these people on this site aren't Fin fans and they are miserable MF'ers.

At least a few that came out of hiding for 3 quarters today can go back into hiding. C Ya Haters!

Oh, I certainly don't doubt that the final two MIA drives involved a lot of yelling at the TV for you.

Paranoid much?

Arguably one of the ugliest, most improbable wins I have witnessed in my 46yrs of being a Phins fan.  

That being said, Tannehill proved the naysayers wrong (that includes me!) and found a way to get his team in position for 2 scoring drives to end the game.  Hats off to him and hope he continue to do so.

All in all, the Def did a good job of keeping Gurley in check and harassed Goff, but I wish the Dolphins had a better Off game plan for most of the game, really underperformed for most of the game.

It's great to be 6-4 and looking towards getting more wins.

Let's Go Phins!!!!

I was here all day long and told it like it was all day long.

Now, who's showing up only when they feel like they can rub something in someone's face, even if it's off-base?

I feel the same way. I almost want to start an anti- negativity game thread sometimes.

So it seems that going forward, an acceptable form of critique is to evaluate a QB's statistics only on drives that score TDs and then call that a game analysis.

Useful information for the future.  MIA lost by 20?  Just look at Tannehill's YPA on their scoring drives!

No, you can use the overall statistic, as well.

The turnover margin was even.  Miami's YPA for the day was 5.1, and the Rams' was 4.5.

A 4-point win for the team with the higher YPA in a low-scoring game is an expected result, given those features.

Keep trying.
