Dolphins lose to Bucs 20-7 in preseason opener

There were some good things, there were some bad things, and then there was the as always brutal televising of the CW West Palm.  And everything in between.

Matt Moore finished 7-12 for 79 yards and an interception, while Ryan Tannehill went 14-21 with 167 yards and an eleven yard touchdown pass to Charles Clay.  The running game was absent, the offensive line had its issues, Dan Carpenter missed two field goals (50,51), and Chad Johnson stalled a drive with a dropped third down pass early on.  Tannehill looked good, Moore looked indifferent, and the Dolphin starting defense was suprisingly disappointing.

Luckily this is only the first of twenty games for this 2012 Fins team, and there was plenty to build on, both good and bad.  In a game filled with inconsistency, there were, however, two constants:

The referees were bad.

The Dolphins announcing crew was worse.

Analysis to come tomorrow, until then I bid you farewell and thanks for following!
