Nobody gets it this week

Though I don't get how my "fandom" was bad at the end of the game

lamar Miller

He ran for 60 yards, caught for 20 yards and scored a TD. really? He played well

I was scratching my head at giving Lamar the SoG too. He wasn't quite as impressive as Knowshon, but I thought he ran well today.

He had the early fumble and I must have thought Moreno was running the whole rest of the game.

Hard to choose so I'll go with Dion Sims for that drop in the end zone. Tannehill put it right in your hands MAN! Dude!

Sims for dropping the ball. Tanny put that right in his hands would have been a TD.

It might be Sims. He dropped that touchdown but wasn't he also the guy who dropped a perfect throw on 3rd and 6 or more on the last couple of drives which resulted in a 3 and out? Two big plays he dropped. Miller had the fumble but I think he ran well once he got the carries again. Wallace dropped some passes he should have caught and he had a fumble, but he did have that great catch in the end zone. It's difficult to give it to someone.

Mine goes to Wallace. Too many mistakes today. Fortunately we were still around for him to be able to atone for them.

Cameron Wake...once the pass rush kicked in the game changed.  Honorable mention to Moreno...proved he's more than a product of a Manning led Offence.  Probably our best free agent signing...which will help Lamar immensely!

I think you're in the wrong forum.

Tanny.  His inaccuracy caused two turnovers in the first half.  The INT should have been a TD and the pass he threw way behind Wallace right before the fumble.  If that pass is on target, there would have been no fumble.  He also threw some balls, that while often caught, prevented the receiver not to be able to get first downs, TDs, or YAC.

Thankfully in the second half, all he had to do was manage the game, which he did quite well.

If scoring 23 second-half points is "managing the game," I'll be happy to have him manage the game every week.

Allowing the runner to pick up 6 or 7 on first down does wonders for QBs.

Tannehill, Wallace and Miller each turned the ball over and each had some measure of atonement later in the game. Miami beat a team by double digits that very few people thought they would. What's the point of a SOTG? No one gets it from me. -EK

This guy gets it. (I know, I know, I know, it's EK  ;D)

Not sure if it rates a "shame of the game", but I'm getting a little tired of Wallace running sloppy and incomplete routes.  He needs to help out his QB and come back to the ball once in a while instead of just sitting static and waiting for it to come to him. 

That's it. I try not to get frustrated over mistakes but he seems "Ginn like" in his effort a lot of times. I guess I feel he should lay it all out there for what we paying him. His biggest contribution at times is decoy and that is frustrating. 

SOTG goes to the Miami "Fans" that  A) failed to pack the stadium, and B) started whining online before the first half was even over.

^^^ I don't think you can fault anyone for not packing the stadium. Hah.

And the whining was certainly necessary, considering 3 turn overs and going down 20-10 in the half.

I've seen two different sources showing attendance at 70,630 and it looked like I saw quite a few people. I don't think attendance was an issue yesterday at all.

I am going to agree with the Wallace pick here.  For a guy rated so high (and getting paid as such) he needs to be less lazy on the field.  Come back to the ball, work on the hands.  I want to punch someone every time I see him drop a well-thrown ball.

The TD he caught was a completely lucky bounce.  I don't know if he deserves a ton of credit for it, but I'm glad he didn't drop it.

SOTG Mike Wallace.  You're supposed to be a #1 WR, but you don't play like it.

You can't blame fans for not wasting their time to watch a losing product. I'm a die hard fan. I drive from where I'm stationed at in Georgia to attend a few games yearly to watch the Fins. But this year I'm only attending the game in Jacksonville. Been going to games since I moved to the US in 1988. I am tired of the seating in the stadium. It sucks. Last season I went to 3 games 2 of which were in Miami and my family really was not feeling the experience no more. This just my rant and opinion.  Hopefully this season the fins will go back to winning and people will start to fill the seats.  Die hard fan or not, people want to see wins not losses

How can you blame fans for not wanting to spend a lot money to watch the game in the blazing sun and expose themselves to possible skin cancer.

Or pay $25 parking to park on gravel and grass.  Going to a football game these days is a $200 event... and that's just if you're bringing the wife. It gets exponentially more expensive for each kid you have.

^^ I heard parking this year was raised to $35

If I don't get free tickets I don't think I'll go to another game. Just costs way too much.

I don't know if you've heard, but they have this stuff now called sunscreen, and its suppose to protect you from the harmful rays of the sun.  Not to mention, even without sunscreen three hours in the sun is not going to give you cancer.  I'd bet the beaches of Miami had plenty of people out enjoying the sunny day.  Granted, attending an NFL game is an expensive endeavor and not affordable to many, but opening day against your biggest divisional rival should be an easy sellout, pack the house game.

^ I just don't think that way anymore.

It's entertainment, pure and simple.

And the home experience is a better package.  Cheap, comfortable, and quick.

I go to games here and there, but it's an all-day experience.  It's hot as hell, it's expensive to get in, and God forbid if you want to eat something.  If you want to eat something good, there's nothing for you.

I'm not saying that I never want to go to games, but I don't fault anyone for staying home, getting a more pleasant experience for free, where you can fast forward commercials and hang out with your friends and family.

^^^ I don't disagree with any of the points you made, and I agree. BUT, this was not any game, it was the season opener against your biggest rival.  Pats, Bills, & Jets games should always be easy sell-outs.  If it was a mid or late season game against the Browns I could understand, but not for a game against the Pats.

I understood that it was a "sell out"

I tried to buy tickets a few weeks before the game and the "best available" on ticketmaster was the 2nd row from the top of the upper deck.  Sorry, but if that's the best available, I'd consider it a sell out.

Tickets to that game were selling on stub hub upwards of $100 a seat for upper deck.  More than double face value.

Like I said, attendance was over 70K which is over 90% full. It wasn't an issue to me at all and for a team that has had such difficulty with attendance in the past I say it was pretty damn good.

Ryan Tannehill.

Inaccuracy in a QB is bad. 

Inaccuracy when only 4 yards away on dump passes is awful. 

Ryan was awful.
