Phins Run Wild on Pats

The Dolphins came in and played a great game, even though they had 3 consecutive turnovers in the first half of the game. Instead of falling apart, and becoming intimidated by the mighty Patriots, they came out in the second half and played with a passion that phins fans have not seen in a very long time.

The Dolphins had a very encouraging start to the game with the blocked punt, and then a quick touchdown. However, after that, the offense got sloppy with fumbles and turnovers, but the defense stayed strong and only allowed 10 points off the 3 turnovers, which left the Dolphins still in striking distance for the start of the second half.

Moreno was an absolute beast, and the spark for the offense, and entire the team in the second half, grinding out extra yards and scoring the last touchdown, which basically sealed the game for the phins. Moreno and Miller, with the help of the revamped offense line, provided a potent running attack the entire game, which shredded the Patriots defense for a total of 191 yards. I think it is fair to say that most sports betting software like Ace Pay Per Head Software fans would not have expected the Dolphin running game to be the back bone of the offense against the Pats.

In statistical terms Tannehill had an average game going 18 for 32 with 1 interception and a QB rating of 79.9, however he threw 2 touchdowns and was only sacked 1 time. But he made a lot of good decisions by throwing the ball away, and his command and leadership of the offense was visibly improved. In addition, his offensive line did a wonderful job all day protecting him and providing running lanes so Tannehill did not have to shoulder the entire offensive responsibility.

The defense completely shut down and shut out the Patriots offense in the 2^nd half of the game. They sacked Brady 4 times and caused him to fumble 2 times. The Double Penetration boys of Wake and Vernon provided 3 sacks between the both of them, and look poised to have a big season. The line-backing crew which was a huge question mark coming into the season, suffered injuries to Wheeler, Misi, and Ellerbe. However undrafted Rookie McCain and long time back-up Trusnik, and Jenkins did an excellent job coming in cold off the bench. McCain was a play maker all game, blocking the punt, and providing a crucial sack on Brady.

Two random complaints I have is that Wallace needs to work on catching the ball with his hands, because he had a few body-drop passes, and Landry needs to work more on catching punts, instead of letting them bounce.

All in all it was an excellent second half for the Dolphins, who truly bullied the Patriots and out played the them for the victory. Now the Dolphins need to continue with their positive momentum, and go up to Buffalo and try to beat another division team that they always have problems with.
