    Absolute clown show in Miami. They deserve the Marlins-esque crowd this drew.

    This Ty Huntley vs. Mason Rudolph QB battle is going as well as you might've anticipated.

    It really has the feel of a kate-August Friday night preseason special.

    I think I need a law degree to understand the rule book on kickoffs and free kicks now.

    Just a terrible OPI on Lockett.

    It was fourth and goal. It didn't really matter if they scored it or took a knee, the ball was going back to the Dolphins on the next play either way. I guess they figured, even with 30 seconds left, it was better to have a three-score lead and really put it away.

    Those 85 yards passing by Rudolph were damn impressive. lol

    I was trying to figure out that onside kick, too, and scratching my head.
    It was called an illegal kick because it went past the landing zone. But shouldn't it have also been illegal because the Dolphins declared an onside kick and then didn't do an onside kick? They punted it without it hitting the ground. There was an onside kick at the end of the Packers-Vikings game yesterday where the Packers did a drop kick, presumably because the ball has to hit the ground before they can recover it.
    But maybe the rules are different on a free kick? Or it would have been a live ball since the Titans didn't fair catch it and it did hit the ground first?
    That whole sequence was odd. Even the official sounded like, "Fuck if I know. First down Titans. Let's get this thing over with."

    The one that wiped out a fourth-down conversion? They got it right. He didn't even try to run a route. He put his arms out like a blocker. That will be called OPI every time and it should be.

    Goff completed all 18 of his attempts for 292 yards and two touchdowns. How about that for efficiency?
