They shut down Miami for the entire first half except for the last drive and they suck so bad. They were playing well today until they went into the two minute defense.

Gotta give it to the Dolphins for using their time outs.

But we had the chance to make them pay and take a vice grip on the game by getting a stop on third and ten but gave up a 20 yard play.

Surprised by the Patriots' aggressive call on the TD given game situation, and Cole being in the game.

Time to send some players back to tackling 101

Well Cole and Gregory blew that one. While Gregory is a solid player, I think I'd prefer seeing Harmon in there during obvious passing situations. Gregory takes terrible angles way too often.

Ugh. Why so aggressive?

That's got to put a burr inside BB

There is no reason Cole should be on Wallace. Bad call.

Makes zero sense. None.

Why call a time out if you are just going to run it?

Here we go again with the ultra-conservative play calling to close out the half. I ******* hate it. At least take one shot downfield to get into FG range with very little time left on the clock.

Yay, lets run at a risk of giving up a fumble!

Just knee if were going to do that.

game will come down to wire once again i feel

@tomecurran On the previous 1st down, the clock never moved! (at 54 seconds)

Noticed this - likely 6-7 seconds that should have run didn't. Although likely didn't matter.

Cole should never see the football field. I'm constantly bewildered at how the kid is actually on the roster - he is that bad. You can almost automatically make a play going his way. On top of that, there is something about awful players with dreads that drive me crazy(L. Maroney trauma).

great throw by tannehill....and nice run by wallace


the other team does occasionally make good plays

comes back to 3rd down defense.always kills us .

they obviously are not trying to score this half....this is what gets to me about this team. With 30 seconds left and 2 timeouts they could have tried for FG range.

We all know the offense is going 3 n out to start the 2nd half right .. !!!! Gotta stick to the script ..

They get the ball anyway. No big deal.

Defense needs to tackle a lot better in the second half.

What did BB see in Cole for him to make this roster?

The whole idea of having a high safety is that you clean up any mistakes someone else makes, not create that mistake yourself.
