Five sacks for Cincinnati tonight. Tannehill has no room to operate.

No doubt the Dolphins have become a B grade gong show with how they operate that team. Numerous bad coaches, changing coordinators all the time. They've certainly fallen down the ladder from being one of the premier franchises in the NFL during Marino's hay days.

Tough to say what a guy like Tannehill could do if he was traded to Denver or Minnesota. Alex Smith managed to salvage his career once he got himself surrounded with competent coaching. Sam Bradford, might do the same in Minnesota. So maybe the same could happen for Tannehill. But I think like Bradford..he'd need to be moved out of town first.

Tannehill is such a frustrating player. He has talent, but his lack of awareness in the pocket is killing him. He also really needs to work on his reads. Takes the guy way too long to get the ball out of his hands.

The line and coaching aren't helping either. If you can't give him any protection, mix up the play calling a bit. Use some rollouts or something... Sheesh.

I think so too. I want to like Tannehill but I just can't. I had him on my fantasy team in previous years and started him a few times but he let me down every time. I think he could be in the top 10 at some point but I don't know when that will be.

Tannehill is classic for locking on to his first read and then panicking when the it's not there.

That's crazy. Jarvis Landry is the truth. Parker is no slouch either. Tannehill is just butt.

That first play against Seattle would suggest otherwise...

How's Kenny Stills been since going down there last year? I saw he had a long bomb TD to open the game, but I haven't kept up with him much. Amazing how much you fall out of the loop with that stuff since quitting fantasy, even as someone who still religiously watches every Sunday.

Looked like he was gonna be dynamite in New Orleans, but that could've had a lot to do with the Brees effect, it's been known to happen.. (i.e. Robert Meachem)

i just remember when the dolphins beat an undermanned, injured Patriots team last year and the dolphins owner went on about how this is a team on the rise, he might have even mentioned he felt they were a super bowl team. just found it funny he was so impressed with his team when they are really not that good

I am a fan from his OU days, but he had one of the worst drops I have ever seen in week 1 or 2, can't remember which. Sure TD and he was 5 yards clear of the defensive back.

Hopefully he finds some consistency. I was surprised the Saints didn't hang on to him.

I think the Titans and the Dolphins will prove to be better than the Saints.

The Bills have gained 16 first downs in the first half, their most since Jan. 1, 2012 against New England. The Bills led 21-0 in that game and lost, 49-21.
Bills up 13-0 today.

It's Carolina and not Denver who will be taking a step back this year. Maybe 3 steps back. Matt Ryan has 415 yards with a full quarter to go. Go for 600!

What happened to Newton? Ineffective or injured?

Julio Jones just hit 300 yards. Redemption for his performance for his owners from last week.
