The Dolphins should have never signed Cutler. Matt Moore did a great job and I hope he gets to keep playing. Cut Cutler! We want Moore!;-D

P.S. My condolences to the Tar Heels. I'm a Hokie fan, but that was just brutal!:ghostface:

Matt Moore has always played well when called upon. Considering how late the Tannehill injury happened, I don't understand why the Dolphins didn't give Moore the job and find him a capable backup instead of getting a QB who has not been on the team. Considering pass protection problems that The Dolphins have had the past few years, they really need a QB with some mobility so I don't think Cutler was a good fit to start with. I think the pass protection issue is why you never see Cutler throw the ball more than 2 yards past the line of scrimmage. It was nice to see the ball go downfield once Moore went in.

Yes, the Jets fans left early. ;-D (It's usually a 50/50 crowd when the Dolphins play the Jets - Jets fans are like weeds around here. Annoying and they're everywhere.;-D)
I don't think it because Jets fans left early, but rather that fans didn't show up... period. And I give Dolphins fans kudos... You've got to respect (and pity) anyone willing to go out in public wearing that gawd awful team color scheme. :)

Will wel now start to see some major negative effects from the NFL protests? Attendance is down and viewership is down. Monday Night Football ratings are plummeting. Did you know that every cable and satellite subscriber who has ESPN is paying $21.50 a year just for Monday Night Football games? ESPN presently pays $1.9 billion a year for Monday Night Football. This month (October) ESPN has lost over 15,000 subscribers a day per the latest Nielson estimates. It’s hard to believe ESPN can afford to provide Monday Night Football going forward. The NFL has gotten used to television revenue only going up. I think they can say goodbye to that model. What will it take Goodell, the owners, and the players to finally realize the National Anthem protests is killing the NFL brand? If they continue the protests they can look forward to major pay cuts all the way around. Maybe then they can protest their own stupidity for alienating their customer base.
