hats off to the fins

[countryboi]

man when we were driving on the game winning drive i was like fug a field goal i want to get this TD and get the hell out of south beach

[Clicheking]

Ummmmmm their not the best team we've played, not even close. I understand you want to be complimentary, but need to over do it. More like that's the worst we've played and still came away with a win.

[CardiacCats]

Lost you at "best team we've faced all year"

yup.  i think they're the fourth best team we've faced.  we played a sloppy game, yet overcame the adversity and won.  this was more of the panthers coming out really, really lethargic than miami just being really good today

Lets just say, I'm glad we don't have to play them for another 4 years barring miracle Super Bowl appearance by them. They will be beastly with O-line additions and further development of tannehill. And a really good couch... whoa...

[teeray]

I knew this was going to be a tough game.  Hats off to those guys and keep your chin up, we were the exact same team as you guys last year.  They easily could be 9-2 but the ball never seems to bounce their way.  It will eventually.  They are a team on the rise with a QB who is going to be pretty darn good

[Anybodyhome]

Let's see, it took going for on 4th and 10 to win the game and the Dolphins made the Panthers look very inept for much of the game.

 

And this is a Miami Dolphin team with a lot of distractions what with NFL Players Union investigation, the Incognito grievance, the NFL investigation and a GM who should have been fired a long time ago. 

 

The Dolphins played very well today.

Hey..........don't complain about Phins Fans not coming back................Congrats on the win...............Phins' games always come down to the end..........our 2nd half  never seems to match our first half.  Anyway, that's our issue.........Good luck to the Panthers going forward!

[panthers55]

Other than those 2 long passes to Wallace which were both underthrown, the Fins did nothing all day on offense.  With as many chances as they had, we should have been buried before half time.

Their defense was pretty good but honestly they were totally transparent most of the time.  We failed to handle the blitz the whole first half.  We made some adjustments in the second half including doing more max protect but I really think that Cam was dazed and confused after that intentional head shot by Wake.  Took him until the second half to shake off the hit.  Don't know if he had a concussion but he surely got his bell rung.  Otherwise It was the kind of road win you need to make if you want to win in the playoffs especially if you end up as a wildcard.

I understand they are 5-6 ( think), but they are a pretty good team. We should have won the Seattle and Buffalo games. Seattle does not scare me at all. Ok, this is up there with the Pats game. This was the toughest win....just my opinion of course

[PhillyB]

they kept pounding, but we kept pounding more.

[Ruff]

Best team we faced all year. Clear case of a team that plays hard till it's over. Tannehill is a stud. Having said that I think this is a bigger win than the Pats or niners. Overcoming adversity, so many mistakes and still pulling out a win. That is what championship teams are made of. Remember we always used to lose these types of games

Seattle and New England are the two best teams we've faced.

[Kyle82]

The Phins came ready to play; they were slapping us around pretty good until they got a decent lead then went into 'prevent' mode. We caught a couple of breaks in this win.....Go Panthers!!!!!!!!

[TannehillRules]

exactly what I expected which is why I told some of the Panther fans to calm down earlier. Miami NEVER makes half time adjustments. Good game for both teams, you guys just executed better down the stretch.

agree with all of this except the intentional head shot. I don't think anyone wants to intentionally get fined. The Dolphins have never been a team to blow out anyone anyways. They will take a comfortable lead, settle for FG's, and not score in the second half (much like the Patriots game.)
