Spencer brown is less of a problem now…you can gameplan around one bad offensive linemen but when you start to have two or more it goes bad in a hurry last year saffold and brown both being bad was a disaster

I’d put a big asterisk on week 1 in general and a medium asterisk on road division games in general. We also did not spend a week preparing for the Zach Wilson jets like the other teams that played them have the luxury of doing. The pats had that opportunity and just snuck by them still. Jets defense is a much worse matchup for buffalo than Miamis is also and it’s not even close. we went down to Miami last year and absolutely dominated them in every metric but points while missing our entire defensive backfield and four offensive linemen by halftime….everyone and their mother knew that was a flukey loss. I agree about giving teams the respect they deserve but Miami is being given far too much imo. They’re good but they are not the 07 pats by any means. Against pretty good afc opponents the dolphins haven’t looked much better than good. One game against a horrible team that quit before halftime doesn’t change that. look at someone like the chiefs that absolutely smacked around the 49ers last year. The dolphins offense is a successful gimmick so it sees more diminishing returns against better opponents than other great offenses do and their defense is pretty mediocre how were the people that said ‘remember the jags game’ proven correct last season? We won 13 games and ran out of gas in the playoffs. Are the pessimistic fans automatically correct on everything they’ve said if we don’t win a Super Bowl?

I’m goin chiefs at 1 until proven otherwise Miami under the bills until proven otherwise(there’s a chance it’s this weekend). They always slap around bad teams then win tight ones or lose against good/great teams. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them look like a world beater against a good team

I don’t even know how to define tua anymore lol. If you take his quick rhythm throws away he’s definitely below average but that is seemingly near impossible to do so far. Their gimmick definitely gets less effective in the red zone where tyreek can’t beat anybody deep anymore but teams still seem intent on leaving light boxes out there on that part of the field. I’d probably do the McDermott special of keeping everything in front of me until hitting the red zone then I’d start to load up against the run. Teams are just giving them free points flooding the field with dbs…they are picking the wrong poison in ‘pick your poison’ imo gotta make tua go through progressions and hold the ball in the red zone. The dude has straight up tunnel vision when his first read isn’t open and he’s gotta reset in the pocket…he seems athletic but I don’t think he can keep his eyes downfield when he’s gotta avoid pass rushers. Props to McDaniel for essentially gameplanning out tuas weaknesses

That was the strangest game…Miami just straight up sold out to force turnovers and guys were open deep all day…really it’s the opposite of what I’d do against josh lol. They were pretty fortunate to not give up a boatload of points in that one…we narrowly missed on a ton of deep shots. The Beasley turnover was kind of ridiculous that was a pretty clear dpi…that game never should’ve been that close even with all the other turnovers. if you told me they were gonna leave that many receivers open deep again but we were guaranteed 2 turnovers I’d take that deal right now 😂 it was like a free deep td every possession we just kept dropping/missing the throws by inches it seemed like Miami was gambling that their pass rush would get home before receivers would get free over the top and it didn’t work out that way at all but they almost failed successfully haha

The playoff game? I honestly kind of hope the dolphins call a similar defense again. We were a couple drops/throws that missed by inches away from dropping a ton of points even with all the turnovers. Miami had everything go their way in that one and dodged a ton of bullets I don’t think that’s a viable strategy. 9 times out of 10 were dropping 50+ in a game like that

If jaelan phillips can’t go I think we may be scoring 70…the phins just never seem to have the coverage LBers to slow josh down and they never really learn their lesson. They’ve got a good dline but I don’t think it’s any better than two dlines we’ve seen already josh racked up 500+ yards of offense and almost beat them single handedly with virtually his entire team injured in the first matchup last year lol

I don’t think Vegas fully trusts Miami yet…they did the same thing last year against bottom feeders/banged up teams then fell on their face when they got a few playoff caliber teams in a row on the schedule. It’s a bit of a gimmick offense where tua just lets it fly to his first read as fast as he can and they start calling runs when teams load the field with dbs. idk if it’s gonna be us necessarily but someone is gonna crack it. Pats did a decent job and they probably would’ve won that game if they weren’t missing 4 offensive linemen. to me, we are a beefed up version of the pats and the pats played them pretty tough. The Denver game means absolutely nothing. Denver was in the game late into the second quarter and the offense imploded after taking over with good field position down two scores so everyone visibly quit. They were moving the ball on Miami pretty easily in the first half up until that point crappy team flying east to play football in a disgusting humid swamp isnt even worth worrying about lol

The offensive gameplan seemed a little more conservative since we probably trusted our defense and the strength of Washington is the defensive line. I doubt games against KC and cincy will be called that similarly to sunday, we’re likely gonna see a more aggressive offense on early downs in those games

They also clearly quit just before halftime too…they were down 21-10 with 5 minutes to go in the half with the ball on the Miami 35 and went backwards 7 yards and punted and everyone just quit lol. It’s like things were finally looking up and they shot themselves in the foot and gave up. Miami scored 14 points before halftime somehow in that situation 😂 Hard to say this early but they haven’t looked as good without Jesse bates to me

I have never heard getting home with 4 being described as a possible problem before lol sure it might be called similar to fraziers defense but they have the bodies to run it this year

That punt on 4th and 5 with one timeout was certainly a decision

Seems like he holds the ball too long for the modern nfl to me

Idk gabes lookin pretty good through 3 games…he seems like a pretty viable 2 to me. Run game is objectively improved too…people that want to see josh get an mvp may not like it but this offense is certainly better than last year

The fumble was a killer, honestly though 3 of his 4 picks this season have been essentially arm punts (one on second and long though of course) In the past he seems to start doin really aggressive stuff when he loses faith in the offensive line and last season he had good reason to but this year is different. He got real skittish in the jets game I think partly because he wasn’t used to playing with the revamped oline yet. He was bailing pockets early all night. I don’t think we’ll see that again this year as he starts to build some trust with those guys

It’s the run commitment that’s making the passing game look disjointed and it is worth it imo. Also two of the three games we’ve had have been against pretty tough defenses and the other game the offense was firing on all cylinders

Still think the pats win that game if they weren’t missing a lot of their offensive line.

He’s got an easy excuse for ownership and will be getting another early draft pick because of it. Might be good we lost to them if it stops them from getting Caleb Williams lol

This is one of those quotes that probably sounded good in his head and was just horrible and nonsensical in real life lol he thinks the media was saying they were good just so that they could laugh when they lost to the cardinals? 😂

70 is over the top but Denver def quit at halftime. Miami was roasting bad teams early in the year last year too then they struggled against the playoff caliber teams. You’ve gotta be able to stop the occasional run from a light box or Miami is tough to stop. Their shtick gets a little less effective in the red zone when tyreek can’t take the top off the defense but they ran all over Denver in the red zone today. craziest part of this game was it was 21-10 late in the second with Denver getting great field possession after they stopped Miami on 4th down on their own 35

We struggled against a Skylar Thomson led offense? Lol they had under 250 total yards not to mention our pass rush without von this year has been significantly better than last and they still beat up Skylar all game

I think we can stop the run ok from a 2 deep/3 deep zone…bill b had the right idea and if their oline wasn’t decimated the pats probably win that one.

As much as I want the dolphins to lose it was kind of funny watching tua blow out Payton after Payton said tua would be benched for bridgewater last year seems like the Daboll hype has cooled off too so a double whammy in this thread lol

I feel like you’ve gotta have good disciplined LBers to keep josh from running all over the place and Washington doesn’t really have that. Bills oline has been quietly playin well this year too…we are not a good matchup for Washington imo. Bad weather and anything could happen but decent weather and I think we’re lookin at a comfy win I’m goin like 31-17

I think he wants to in normal circumstances but some games against tough defenses he loses faith that the offense can put a long td drive together so he starts pressing to hit a big chunk play. Normally it’s when the offensive line is getting manhandled but the jets game this year seemed like a special case where they got in his head and he started bailing pockets early when he didn’t need to. I thought the OL held up pretty well in that one.
