Based on what I've just seen this Seahawks defense (in particular Richard Sherman and co. in the #LEGIONOFBOOM) is fully capable of being the straw that breaks the camel's back and sending Ryan Tannehill into a full-on shell-shocked David Carr-esque career failure.

The Buffalo Bills were 31st in total defense coming in and handled him thoroughly. I recognize he lacks weapons, but who knows if his confidence will survive long enough for him to get them.

I for one can't wait.

Tannehill has some potential, believe he will be okay in the NFL, but he ain't no Russell Wilson. I expect Bruce Irvin to eat him for lunch.

I also predicted we would make Sanchez and Tebow wish they never got on a plane, if it makes you feel any better.

Are you kidding? Tebow had a 100% completion percentage against us! 3/3! He is the kryptonite to this Seahawk defense!

For 8 yards...

If we lose to the gawddam awful Dolphins in Miami than I'm not sure how any of us can think we deserve a playoff spot.

We better beat that team in a week, road woes be damned.

I tend to agree. ANy given Sunday but this will be our first rookie QB of the season..I expect him to throw no more than 1 TD and have no less than 2 turnovers. Who's the worst QB we've faced thus far? Alex Smith? Skelton? I neither threw for 200 yards or looked very good. Tannehill is probably on pace with those guys at this point.

I think his sore knee is effecting him more than most people know. He looked much better in the first quarter of the season.

The Dolphins are the opposite of the Seahawks... They have a better win % on the road than they do at home. Visiting teams usually get the win in Miami. See 2010, 6 of their 7 wins came on the road.

I hope Pete is telling our entire Dline to get their hands up. Tannehill's release is the NFL equivalent of a knuckleball. If our defense doesn't turn him into a batted ball machine, they failed.

I'm throwing caution to the wind. I believe that we will beat Miami. If we don't than we clearly aren't as far along as we thought.

We are a better team. Being on the road, maybe it isn't a blowout, but a blowout wouldn't surprise me.

THIS.

Noticed this right off the bat last night. Trannyhill's release is going to be his undoing. Also, he holds the ball way too long and doesn't have the elusiveness of Wilson or RG3 to extend plays. The pass rush should bury him, and We should be able to pick him off a few times.

Honestly, that was a sorry display from Miami against a not-very-good Bills team. Todd's right, if we lose to Miami, then we need to understand that we're still an average team who's not ready for a playoff run yet. No excuse not to pummel that team, 10am road game or not.

Same issues we saw in college for Tannehill. Way too many batted balls - even considering his low release point, he has far too many tipped passes. He's good for 2-3 really bad decisions in a game that often lead to picks. His supporting cast in Miami is abysmal but he's still thrown just 6 touchdowns in ten starts compared to 11 interceptions.

Pressure unsurpsisingly is the key because he isn't used to it. Texas A&M has the best offensive line in college football outside of Alabama. He was virtually untouched in 2011. And he still made bizarre mistakes (see: Oklahoma/Texas games). Now in Miami the Dolphins can't keep him clean and it's foreign to Tannehill. Despite being a pretty good athlete, he doesn't really extend plays. He'll panic and just unload when pressed. Inside pressure looks like his biggest enemy. I'd consider playing Jason Jones on more early downs. I'd also put Bruce in more often on first down too if we get ahead early. I think we'll handle this game pretty comfortably if we get a ten point lead and play conservative offense.

Would you agree that he was just drafted way too high? He only recently started playing QB, and would probably have benefited from a couple of years on the bench developing. He looks to have some upside for sure, but his floor is pretty low. I think the mistake was taking him that high and expecting him to start right away. I mean, I'm glad I was sorta right about him and didn't buy in to the early-season hype, but he's definitely a talented athlete and could be an effective starter in the NFL. Sadly, I think he'll take too much of a knock to his confidence this season and next and will fade into the mists of obscurity after that.

I watched that entire game last night and if we do not beat Miami handily we deserve [and will get] nothing this year. They are god awful on offense. Should be similar to the Jets game where they don't move the ball or score.

No excuses on road game, 10am or any of that. Hawks have 2 full weeks to prepare for that inept offense. All they have to do is play their game with intensity and we win going away.

I'm pretty sure the D will give the entire Dollfin offense fits, frustration and lots of bruises. As for the Hawks offense, they should be able to come in running the ball and throwing well. Move the chains and good in the end zone.

At the end of the day I look for a three score difference in favor of the hawks.

Yup!

It's not overconfidence if it's correct, and jinxes aren't real in any case.

Until we start playing D on 3rd down and winning games on the road, I can't see any reason to be over-confident.
