For the record, they led Miami by 17 points at halftime Sunday, not by 25 with 17:07 remaining in regulation. For the record, Lady Gaga did not rappel from this closed roof. Still, it’s one thing to blow a massive lead against the greatest coach and greatest quarterback ever. To be outscored 20-0 at home and lose 20-17 to Jay Freakin’ Cutler … that’s about as bad as it gets in a regular-season game.

The belief in many circles was that the inevitable post-Shanahan slippage in points and yards would be offset by a better defense. Hasn’t worked that way. The Falcons still aren’t stopping people, and they can no longer count on simply outscoring opponents. They’ve managed three second-half offensive touchdowns in five games, the scorers of those being Hooper, Gabriel and Justin Hardy. Julio Jones remains pointless.

Doesn't this just make everything a little brighter?

Interesting read on what a mess the Dolphins were before their comeback.

This is where I provide you an edited and carefully worded synopsis of all the trouble the Dolphins waded through the past week, most of it of their own making:

They ...

Performed horribly offensively for the third consecutive week against Tennessee, making the first home victory of the season feel about as satisfying as an oxygen sandwich.

Hours after the win, a video of offensive line coach Chris Foerster emerged in which he was snorting cocaine in his office at the team’s training facility. Foerster resigned the next day.

The Foerster video went viral and turned the Dolphins into a social media punch line.

When folks got bored talking about Foerster, they returned to the weathered conversation about benching quarterback Jay Cutler because he struggled for the third consecutive game last week.

Part of the Cutler discussion included the fact he and the offense were booed in what amounted to Cutler’s first ever game as Miami’s quarterback at Hard Rock Stadium. That booing included calls for backup Matt Moore to take over

 

 

Quote

 

And the festivities continued during the first half of this game.

The Dolphins dropped five passes to go with the five drops last week. Four of those drops came in the first half.

The Falcons scored the first two times they had the ball. And then they scored again to forge a 17-0 halftime lead. Yeah, not good.

The Dolphins offense, meanwhile, lost starting center Mike Pouncey to a concussion in the first half. Landry had three drops. And Cutler had an interception and a quarterback rating of 39.

There’s a name for this kind of stuff:

“Inept,” coach Adam Gase said.

And so it seemed as if the Dolphins were adding to their litany of yuck. It seemed as if this game was already out of reach for a team that hadn’t scored more than 17 points in any of the previous three games.

At this point no lead is safe with us. I expected our offense to drop off some but not like this. The amount of deflected turnovers we are having is just mind blowing. 

Oh well, at least the Dawgs are kicking ass.

I'll give you a beer just for the UGA part of the post.

      This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.

      Same thing I first thought but then I saw it was against Jacksonville and took about half a second of playing to know. I was at that game.  I can't tell you my level of excitement when I saw it was Delhomme instead of Peete who came out for the 2nd half. Delhomme has and will probably always be my favorite Panther.
