I think the commentary dudes were just straight up wrong about the Josh scramble against the ravens tbh. That whole rule has an ‘OR when the ball carrier starts simulating touching the ground’ that I legitimately think Terry didn’t even know about and since the rule on the field was short a challenge never would’ve overturned that application of the rule. if it was ruled he got the first on the field maybe it holds up to a ravens challenge because it was such a quirky slide where it’s hard to pinpoint where he started simulating touching the ground. Ironically I think that non challenge decision was one of the big reasons we won that game and is a big positive for mcd and negative for the fans saying he was wrong 😂. TBD coaching would’ve lost us that one especially given we only got that late first half fg off because mcd used defensive timeouts when the ravens were driving which is for some reason considered bizarre now no idea what makes the timeouts bizarre…that is literally done all the time and has won us multiple games tyreek catch I agree with you…your hands can come off it briefly and it can still be ruled you have control but I think he didn’t possess it in time

I don’t even know that Tre is playing that bad overall now that I’m rewatching some of the games again haha. In the moment though I can see why he stands out in a bad way at times. if last night turns into a trend against even mediocre receivers I’d be concerned but waddle is pretty tough to man up. I do think Hairston when he’s up to speed will be an improvement but Tre has been serviceable enough where idk if we need to do anything drastic in the short term

It felt like we were getting cooked doing the opposite of how people usually define the mcd scheme lol waddle is a tough assignment and Tre was manning him up without much help pretty often I think lost in all the ‘dolphins are imploding’ drama is tyreek/tua are still a really tough wr duo it was an interesting game we played a lot of contain and it really did seem to make tua uncomfortable for some reason even though we weren’t technically generating a lot of pressure. Idk if that’s one of tua’s quirks that we key in on lol. He was bailing pockets in very strange directions at times cuz the edge defenders were scaring him which forced him into some really difficult throws that should’ve been routine.

Yea I think the quick pressure was more responsible for that outcome than Bernard was

Johnson has looked like a different player in a bad way too lol. Mostly in pass catching though I think…he seems like he’s running it fine

Teams are playing that soft cover 2 on passing downs with a spy most times it feels like…I think the bills needed a little more play action on the early downs in the second half last night when the dolphins were loading the box a couple times they dialed up deep shots and they weren’t there

I’m so excited for Hoecht and I hope I’m not disappointed haha just feels like such a good fit and we’re halfway there to getting him back.. seems like a younger Lorenzo Alexander Ogunjobi had a few down years and maybe a change of scenery helps but I don’t think it’s a sure thing

It’s so funny now that mayfield is playing well and Darnold has looked good at times. ‘Right josh’ was the only flat out bust in the class lol. Hell even mason rudolph carved out a pretty nice career backup role

I think they were a bit too close to the end zone at that point to really kill off all the clock…if they scored with like 1:20 left I wonder if they woulda gone for two. If we disappeared Bernard on that INT play I think they would’ve been on the 13-14 ish yard line with 3 minutes left and the bills had two timeouts and the 2 minute warning

Felt like they were keepin a bunch of extra guys in to block and we were playin a bunch of contain in this one but I gotta rewatch to be sure. The discussion around injured olinemen always puzzles me a bit. Guys forced into the lineup are gonna be at their absolute worst the game they are forced in and with more reps they pretty much always improve over time. Communication/experience is at a premium with that group. I never really got why people expect these guys to remain as terrible as they looked the game they were forced in

Feels like weve played a lot of contain so far this year and he’s doing his thankless job well. The disconnect between fans and pff over groot will continue this week too haha with Miami you absolutely have to sell out to stop the wide runs and that seemed like the huge focus

This feels like a pure fan vibes thing tbh…if teams are giving you the underneath throws like they have been the last few weeks you take them every time playoffs or otherwise. I get fans want to see the exciting splash downfield passing plays and Josh probably does too but teams want Josh to feel that way and force things. The plays set up behind the LOS are there a lot…usually when they don’t work someone whiffed a block etc and they work way more often than the frustrated fan even realizes.. that’s the takeaway that surprises me every time when I rewatch the games lol my biggest criticism of Josh leading up to the last year plus is he wouldn’t play the style of games that he has been playing now even when defenses were gift wrapping it for him jets and dolphins really all they have is pass rush on top of all that so there’s an extra incentive for the style of play we’ve seen

As far as talent meeting scheme goes I think probably hawes so far? It’s not the prettiest thing but it is a big role haha if Hairston plays pretty well this class could be great

If cook could find a way to stay on his feet on those shoestring tackles I feel like he might be the best player in the league haha his vision is crazy. I’m usually in the ‘any decent rb can run through the holes OLs open up crowd’ but cook is def doing things other guys just don’t do

This was a really hard game to try to extrapolate anything from…short week and this whole ‘death of the dolphins’ thing was based on just vibes basically and nothing really schematic or personnel wise on the offensive side. Hill/waddle is a top wr duo in the league and anyone forced into putting a depth cb on waddle is gonna struggle. Their big gamechanging plays were pretty much just great players making great plays..that third and long catch by tyreek where tua got flushed and overthrew him by 6 feet was crazy. achane is a beast and forces you to contain those wide runs all night. if the chiefs trade for tyreek I think a lot of last night becomes very playoff relevant and I will join you in panic for sure haha but hill/waddle really outshine even the wr duos we’d see in an afc playoff run.. especially given I don’t think rice will be 100% this year if the dolphins look crappy the rest of the way it’ll make me re-evaluate I’m sure but they started to flash peak dolphins offense at times in the pats game even with a few olinemen without much prep time getting forced into the lineup. Those guys have had a week+ of reps with the starters now so it’s pretty natural they’d improve a bit and no Ed def made things easier

I’m all for the negative and positive posts when they’re at least somewhat accurate but I think some of the negative stuff from years past has become cliches and they are being misused a lot of the times this year 😂. Granted that could be mostly a gameday thread issue where logic usually doesn’t prevail lol

Every day we’re getting closer to ‘even if Hairston is bad he’s an upgrade from Tre’ haha. I think I said Hairston is a big injury week 1 and got laughed at by somebody lol I do think tre will be a serviceable wr2 against most teams but the dolphins aren’t that team lol that was the biggest difference between the dolphins and jets games for me…jets have Garrett Wilson as wr1 then a bunch of nobodies so they couldn’t really exploit anything in the passing game

That’s been the book on Allen for awhile now and our own fans want him to just play right into it lol. It feels like I’m watching a different game at times…a lot of these underneath/quick throws at the LOS are working but people only seem to notice the ones that don’t

Hairston is becoming less of a wildcard by the day lol he could be bad and be a pretty big upgrade over Tre it’s looking like

Dolphins defense turned it around after halftime against NE also and everyone else failed them. Pats scored 10 points in the 4th quarter with -3 yards of offense lol. They gave up a kickoff return td and tua threw an INT and the pats went 3 yds and kicked a fg I think weaver is a pretty good DC tbh. He quietly did a good job last year and week 1 their offense didn’t do sh*t so they were on the field a ton

I don’t think it quite reached that level tbh Miami never led since their first possession

That was dirty business haha

I still don’t think Miami is that bad tbh…I don’t bet on bills games typically out of principle haha but the spread on this one seemed a little crazy. This game made me a little nervous in ways the jets game didn’t

Depends on how much time

Their oline hasn’t really been bad this year tbh…week 1 was mostly tua melting down
