It’s week one.Waddle getting only 5 targets is concerning.. I expected his production to drop, but not this much and soon.
Ekeler I think hurt his ankle; that's why Kelley was in more than usual.Chargers gonna Charger.
Curious why Kelley was out there instead of Ekeler in the hurry up? Kelley had a solid game, but that seems like a really poor decision to take maybe the best pass catching RB off the field.
Pretty incredible stat for the good man, TuaHe made some good throws on the run. And some fast decisions under pressure. Some pin-point throws, a couple of underthows. A couple of too aggressive passes into triple coverage. Historic opening day performance.
>>Tua Tagovailoa had 466 pass yards tonight.That is the 4th-most pass yards in a season opener in NFL history.
1951 Norm Van Brocklin (554)
2011 Tom Brady (517)
1994 Dan Marino (473)
Sun. Tua Tagovailoa (466)<<
If anyone watched the game play by play like we did, Hill was simply fantastic and getting open all day. I did wonder in the 2nd Half that Waddle seemed to disappear but it had nothing to do with FF, I know he was on the injury report in preseason, was hoping he hadn't tweaked anything.It’s week one.Waddle getting only 5 targets is concerning..

I haven't seen Miami try to get their offense on the field with under 20-30 seconds left, other team is in scoring range and we're calling timeout on 4th and 7?Mike McDaniel brilliant to save time at the end of the last drive
Throws a nice play to Waddle, sets up a long pass route that draws a flag
41 yd FG is...GOOD!!!
Way to go Coach Mike!
Yep. Let him catch the ball and wrap him up or let him run OOB. Bonehead play by the DB.Let's discuss the DPI call at the end of the 1st Half
Am I wrong in understanding that all the Bolts had to do was basically let him catch it and wrap him up?
IIRC, there was no time left, it was a last throw down the field and unless it was tossed in the end zone for a TD, anything short of the goal line results in ZERO Points
Instead Miami draws the DPI and kick the FG to make it 20-17
Final score 36-34, a lot happens between these 2 scores but it had a major impact on the end of that football game.
McDaniel was thinking end game while he was still in the 1st Half
McDaniel out coached Brandon Staley yesterday, that has to be factored into the outcome of this football game.
That plus Tua playing out of his mind.

I am going to try and find some more of these for other games but it's quite an extensive highlight clip at over 15:00
-at the start of Miami's last TD drive I made a comment in this thread about Ahmed getting both targets and now we're at 3rd and 10 on our 25, and I'm saying why are we wasting time/plays on Ahmed down 34-30 late 4th Q when Tua hits Hill on an absolute had to have it throw to change field position and suddenly we are on the Bolts' 30 yard line.
There were many lead changes but I felt like Miami was running n the rails with that play, insanity when they connected on that throw.
There were a lot of Miami fans in the stands or Tyreek Hill was on everyone's fantasy team because the stadium was cheering even when Miami was moving the ball.
