Just to throw another little love nugget into this love fest, how about this: NO PENALTIES. When's the last time you saw that? Arguably the "play" of the game.
Really outstanding. Especially on the road in a dome. Easy to have a false start. Seems like the players are really buying into Philbin's principles.
A few observations after watching the whole game:
Miami brought in the new linebackers to blitz and be more aggressive. Wheeler made the game closer blowing by Brown for the sack.
After the second half, Miami made some great adjustments at half and really clamped down on D. What a breath of fresh air after watching so many years of watching them get beat repeatedly by the same thing over and over.
Dion Jordan pressured Luck twice, and really should have had another sack. He had a free shot on Luck up the middle, give him a good push, and Luck bounced off him and scrambled for a first down. Not sure if he didn't want to hit him too hard and draw a flag, or if he thought he got rid of the ball, but hopefully he learned that in the NFL, you need to wrap that sack up and take him to the ground.
Tannehill looks great in these first two weeks. Hopefully he continues to play well, and make smart decisions with the ball. That long pass to Clay was absolutely threaded between two defenders.
