The Miami Dolphins' red zone offense took plenty of snaps Saturday night - and finally produced a touchdown. The first-team offense scored its only TD just before halftime on its 17th play inside the Tampa Bay 20, but the Buccaneers scored with 1:03 left in the game to win 17-16. Miami's starters netted 180 yards playing the entire first half, their most extensive outing in four exhibition games. Ryan Tannehil went 17 for 27 for 150 yards and a 4-yard score to Brandon Gibson with 10 seconds left in the half for a 13-10 lead. The score could have been lopsided in the Dolphins' favor, but Gibson and Brian Hartline dropped potential touchdown passes, and twice they settled for short field goals.

Meanwhile people in Tampa are wondering if they should cut their losses now with Freeman. Is it me or is looking like he's regressed?
True dat. You gotta love what you are seeing out of the defense. If this offense can get their crap together this team can make some noise. But Freeman has been bad this entire preseason. He's in a contract year and they have a kid who they are grooming for down the road. Freeman has to win now, and so far he's shown he can't do it.
