Shame of the Game @Houston

[dolphins4life]

The entire offense gets my vote this week.   

[Landshark]

I'm giving mine to Jeffy Fireland. There is no reason for this team to be this bad. Fireland is a fucking jackoff that has gotten ZERO talent this year.  He trades away the best receiver on this team, turns around and does a half assed job to address the receiver position in the draft or in free agency.  Then he turns around halfway through the preseason and does the same thing with secondary which flat out sucked to begin with.  He must be doing sexual favors for Ross for him to still keep his job.

[Dave Gray]

I don't know exactly who this falls on, but the biggest issue today was balls tipped at the line.  Unless someone can convince me otherwise, I have to say Tannehill.  3 first half interceptions can't happen.

[Cathal]

My initial reaction was to say it's Tannehll as well for staring down receivers and not creating some lane to throw in for himself. I don't know if that's also on the line men to some degree.

[Dave Gray]

...which is weird because I didn't feel that Tannehill was bad.

[EKnight]

He wasn't very good either. Tannehill with 3 turnovers should be the only person getting votes here. -EK

[Cathal]

He wasn't that bad. He did overthrow an open receiver or two that would have given us a big gain and of course had 3 picks. I agree that he has to be the one that receives the shame of the game. I don't know who else you can give it to that actually wears pads and a uniform.

Tannehill.  Clearly he hasn't learned how not to throw footballs over the offensive line yet, he had a snap hit him in face and he botched it. 

HM Richie Incognito for two stupid ass holding penalties.

HM Daniel Thomas for being a nancy boy.

No one who watched the game and is in the know is blaming Ryan. It's pretty much disenchanted fans. Batted balls are the result of offensive linemen not engaging the defense.

We are short playmakers. I can't blame a turd for stinking. I have to blame the guy who forced me to smell it. My vote is Ireland.

Batted balls are the result of offensive linemen not engaging the defense.

If it had been just the two that were tipped and intercepted, I would agree, but he had at least 5 passes knocked down.

2 that led to picks, 2 others that I remember being that Watts loser, and then in the red zone he had another one tipped and knocked down by #98. 

I don't blame Tannehill for throwing three picks two of which were tipped balls.  He missed a couple guys that were wide open, and he took checkdowns on third and fourth downs when you absolutely have to shoot at the first down or the endzone.   

That said, It's his first start, this is all shit that can easily be fixed by Tannehill in practice and with the coaching staff, but he gets shame of the game today.  I'm sure it won't be last bad game he has this year. 

[Landshark]

Part of the tipped passes were on the offensive line but part were on Tannehill for telegraphing his throws.  He needs to learn to pump fake.

I'm not knocking the Tannehill pick....

And I have to give the Texans Defense a lot of credit...

I'm going with Sherman,for my vote.... for these reasons...
1.) Should have called roll outs,boot legs,more play action.Especially after the balls started getting batted around...Everything we were running in the 1st half was quick 3 step,get it out of your hands..No shots down the field early....

2.)(which goes to my point 1) We rarely took advantage of Tannehills' athleticism in our game plan...

Yeah Tannehill had a horrendous 2nd quarter,but did some good things I liked also...It's the facts of life with a rookie QB starting, you take the good,you take the bad....

Modified to add: MikeO sent me...

Great quote there B!!! This should be our motto for this year!!

[Pappy13]

Jonathan Martin. Got schooled today by Watt. But let's not forget he was also making his rookie debut against a tough opponent after switching from left tackle to right tackle. He actually did a pretty good job when you consider that.

[Dave Gray]

I can't blame a turd for stinking. I have to blame the guy who forced me to smell it. My vote is Ireland.

This made me laugh.

I agree that Ireland has put us in a position to fail.  But today, in this game, we didn't lose on talent.  We lost on technique.
