Anyone else feeling a little Dejavu? 3 years ago, Tannehills rookie year, we faced the Bills in Week 11 on Thursday Night Football. Now we face them again in Week 11 on Thursday Night Football. In the game 3 years ago, both teams had the same record @ 4-6, the Bills had just come off a 3-game losing streak, the Phins off a 2-game losing streak. In the game Tannehill threw 2 INTs and 1 TD, only had a 50% cmp% and was sacked 3 times. We also had only 60 yds rushing with a measly 2.4 yds per carry and Tannehill rushed 1 time for 7 yds. We went on to lose 19-14. This year, both teams are 5-4 and both teams are coming off a loss after consecutive wins. So far this year, Tannehill has thrown 2 INTs in only 1 game. His average cmp% at this point in the season is 64.3%. The Phins are currently averaging 2.2 sacks on Tannehill per game. We are averaging 127.6 rushing yds per game at an an avg 4.6 yds per carry and Tannehill is averaging almost 4 rushing attempts per game for 27.2 yds per game (before the Detroit game it was over 30 yds per game). It IS Dejavu, but Ryan Tannehill is a much better QB now than he was in that Week 11 game 3 years ago. He uses his legs more. He is more accurate and he is much more decisive and comfortable in his role. I dont see him throwing 2 picks in the last 2 minutes of this game. I dont see him with only 1 rushing attempt and only a 50% cmp%, and I dont see our defense 120 rushing yards to Buffalo. This may be Dejavu, but we are a much better team now than we were in 2012, and we got this! Phins Up Forever!!
