Not really much to complain about. Pretty complete game all around yesterday. Running game was superb, Tyrod was very efficient, Sammy looked like a superstar. Defense looked they were about to break at times, but made some big plays when it mattered, namely the 2 Hughes sacks and the goalline stand at the end of the half. Tannehill put up decent numbers in the passing game but no touchdowns is a win for the defense. They did get the benefit of some weak Miami coaching (no timeout at the end lf the half?) and apparently a missed hold on Suh on the Watkins TD, but that's the NFL for you. The Bills were burned on that Robey DPI against Jacksonville, and bad calls - or bad non-calls - go both ways.
I was very frustrated by the play of the defense, but you're right that they were able to come up with plays when they had to and they did succeed in allowing less scoring than it seemed like they were going to. They still had a tough time getting off the field and allowed too many long drives. But again, the result was fine.
Everybody should make a special point to remember the lack of a holding penalty on Suh. That was an atrocious non-call that should have wiped out a then-critical TD. It's good to remind ourselves of things like that when we're on the receiving end, as we have been for a couple of weeks.
At one point Landry only had 8 for 39 - so while they kept hitting on those mis-directions and RB flat plays - they held when it mattered. They will have to shore up the LB situation/tackling. I liked McKelvin moving all around the secondary as Graham hasn't been the best. More stupid penalties as well.
Felton playing 50+ percent of the snaps was huge in getting the run game going.
McCoy has an MRI today and per Dr. Gene here, he thinks it's an AC sprain like Sanders/Cobb had earlier.
Sammy and the backs looked great. Hopefully we can get and stay healthy.
I'll be at the game Thursday. Looking forward to MetLife.
