80 yard t.d. drive for Gilbert. Much better.

And then in two plays the f...ing Cowboys give a t.d. right back. How sad. Great defense Dan Quinn.

That would have been a great field goal if they would have moved the post 3 yards to the left.

Year after year the lack of discipline causing stupid and needless penalties.

Dolphins are going to be a problem this year...I have them firmly second in the AFC East. I can see Waddle being as high impact as Hill

don't have one, i've watched zero preseason football (don't want to get stressed out over games that don't matter)

from what i've read, he showed some flashes yesterday which people found encouraging so that's good. was behind the eight ball in training camp with covid so he's missed some valuable time. here's hoping he can continue to develop and work hard behind the scenes and we'll see if we have something in a year

I love these last preseason games. Its like the coaches just say, let the 3rd and 4th stringers go out there and beat eachother up and crack some skulls. The Hits in the Miami game were bone crunching. Especially the last TD pass. Just a straight up train wreck in the end zone. Dudes are gettin smacked out there fightin for a job, and the coaches are like, what the hell, let em crash and let's see who wants to make the team. The rest, well cut em tomorrow.

I have the Dolphins competing for the division title. If they stay healthy, Tua grows this year I believe they can win it. Miami has a nasty defense.

Yep - best secondary in the league.

I think he's going to be good now that they got rid of Chan Gailey - what about you?

I have zero faith in him. The lack of arm talent is pretty apparent when I watch him. Not too shocked to see the Deshaun Watson trade rumors to Miami. I like the roster Miami has put together, just dont think Tua has the talent to put it all together.

Wow - interesting. Not sure if that's a 'hot take' but it's warm.

You don't think he can have a Drew Brees type impact? He's very accurate and has some wiggle even post injury. They also say he's an incredible leader

I think he'll be good. Much improved this season. But Drew Brees? Wow. Those are pretty big shoes. :wink:

I feel like that's his best comp...obviously he's not going to be as good as Brees but he's kinda similar body wise / accuracy wise. It's all coming full circle for the Fins after they passed on Brees for Culpepper :lol:

I'll say that the gap between him & Herbert will be much closer this season.
