Week 17: Miami Dolphins (8-7) @ Tennessee Titans (10-5)

Guys I know it is beating a dead horse, but Tua is not the answer if Miami is to have hopes of a dynasty type franchise. He is a very accurate smart QB but he just does not have the arm to play lights out football on every play. If he has a clean pocket and can set his feet there are not many better them him playing right now, but he has a week arm and struggles making throws on the run and that will always be a major flaw in him. He can win games when Miami controls the game, but he is not enough of a game changer to be a dynasty type QB. I see him as a Chad Pennington 2.0 a very good QB but not a game changer. I am not a hater, I like Tua and he will win a lot of games but probably not any Superbowl's. You have got to beat teams that are better then you to be the best and right now Tua is not showing he can do that, and neither are the Dolphins on a regular basis. There is improving to be done, I hate excuses, every team is dealing with issues and the ones that overcome adversity are winners and the others are losers.

From last Monday night til today, it was a fun 6 days of actually being relevant again. Back to reality today, 2nd road game in a row on a cold, rainy day. Just couldn't do much of anything right. 

Looking forward to a total o-line revamp in the offseason.

In 2018 the Bills got a completely new OL.

Better team won for sure and it wasn't even close, Titans without Henry were a force. Bravo to Vrabel, and Tannehill.

1.  Tua played arguably his worst game as a Fin.  A bunch of his passes were uncharacteristically inaccurate.  He didn't take care of the ball.  It was just a really bad game for him.

2.  The OL was, in a suprise to nobody, horrible again.

3.  The receivers were dropping balls all over the place.  Probably expected, given the rain, but it was still annoying.

4.  Palardy absolutely killed us in the 1st half with his crap punts.  

5.  Duke Johnson is such a breath of fresh air in the backfield.  That guy runs hard and it's great.  Bring him in for next year and get rid of all the other scat back outside of Gaskin.

6.   It almost surely wouldn't have changed the end result, but the Fins routinely got boned by the refs yesterday.  That clear fumble and Miami recovery being called down by contact was pretty egregious.  The multiple no-calls on TN for blatant defensive PI were egregious.  To be fair, the refs clearly missed an intentional grounding on Tua as well, but that was on a 3rd down and the Fins had to punt anyway.  Again, not saying the Fins would have won anyway.  But it was pretty bad for the zebras in this one.

7.  Flores is really bad at clock and timeout management.  He burned a timeout yesterday for absolutely no reason.

Not that it really matters, but it was on second down, and the drive resulted in a 39 yard field goal.
