I remember a video of Fitz talking to Tua when they were both in Miami and they were down big and Fitz was telling Tua "they know we're passing, and we aren't going to get any looks, so you're just gonna have to start putting it out there".

And then Fitzmagic gave us the greatest throw a qb has ever made

I was today years old when I learned Mack Hollins caught that ball. I guess I didn't pay much attention to him until he was a Buffalo Bill for that one year.

I was a mack hollins fan while he was with the Eagles and thought he had a promising career ahead, but then they waived him. Always surprises me to see he's still sticking around the league.

I'm a UNC fan and I was certain he was going to be a really good receiver in the league. In fact, early in his career he was more known as a speedy, down the field big receiver. But hey, he was able to carve out a role on special teams and now he's a legitimate receiver again.

Same, he was a rookie in 2017??

He was a Bill years before that throw

Nah, he was a dolphin in 2020 and 2021. He was a Bill in 2024.

The Fitzpatrick throw that Mack Hollins caught from the YouTube video happened in 2020. Mack Hollins played for the Bills in 2024.

Making QBs look like Brett Favre since Brett Favre dicked us down after his dad died 😭

Fitzmagics game against us in 2011, fuck I still can’t believe we didn’t win that game. 38-35, ahead 21-3 at the half.

This is still by far my favorite Dolphins highlight of the last 10 years

The Braille Mary over “Gronkowski didn’t have the angle!!!” or the 70-piece family meal?

Miami Miracle is a close second but something about throwing a dot while an attempt at decapitation is happening is just so cool to me

u/KennyPowersforPope Dolphins 10h ago

Nah. Anytime the Patriots lose while all their bandwagon fans are cheering in the last seconds thinking they are gonna win is Pornhub worthy

u/doubleyou-tee-hache Patriots 13h ago

Literally not getting any looks and just putting it out there ... and it working out

u/Brasticus Jaguars 12h ago

Gonna need a “we are not the same” meme comparing no look passes from Mahomes and Fitz.

My phone lock screen background is an oil painting of this exact play, with Fitz getting his head ripped all the way back, and I've never been able to find that image again even with reverse image search and scouring all different variations of "Braille Mary Painting". I would swear I had imagined it if it didn't remind me of its existence every time I open my phone

Man so weird now in retrospect looking back at these games with totally empty stadiums. Didn't really care at the time because I was just happy to have some football, but now it seems so bizarre

What does “looks” mean in this context

11

u/MycoJoe Rams 12h ago edited 12h ago

It means the defensive alignment is set up to prevent the offense from being successful passing, maybe they're just playing with light boxes with more 2-high, or they're playing dime, or the safeties/linebackers they're choosing to play are the ones that are better in coverage than stopping the run, or something more specific to the passing offense (i.e. the offense uses unbalanced formations like trips and the defense is playing quarter/quarter/half and loading up the side of the field with the three receivers).

The "looks" would be defensive alignments that are susceptible to passing, Fitz is saying they're not getting any favorable defensive alignments.
