The NFL is back, which means last night's preseason game between the Miami Dolphins and the Atlanta Falcons came as a sober reminder that Chad Henne is still looking to go into the season as the Fins' quarterback.

Preseason football is never thought to mean much, and in spite of a 28-23 Dolphins win, Henne still played like a total goober.

Henne threw two interceptions in his first four throws, and although commentators were quick to blame tight end Anthony Fasano for the first interception, we'll remind you Fasano's shoulder blades don't have hands.

Henne's passing antics quickly became the subject of Twitter jokes, and here are a few of the gems:
