Low Positive

Somebody pointed out that Morse being out was huge because he calls the coverages pre-snap.

How much depth do you think a team can have at any position group when your gameday roster is limited to 48 players? We were down to our 3rd string center and had backups playing out of position across the line. No team can withstand that. Actually, Josh knew the rules to a T yesterday when he didn’t clock the ball after bobbling the snap at the end of the first half. I looked up the rule, and if you don’t immediately spike the ball it is a fumble.

I think there were fans, but I read that because the Dolphins don’t use tents that the road team cannot use them because it would give them an unfair advantage. I found a reddit thread with fans from a lot of teams talking about how their team played their worst game of the year in Miami because of the heat. Bill Belichick has talked about how the heat in Miami is the biggest home field advantage in the league. It’s due to the stadium design and it’s BS.

It was really bad.

I fell asleep i guess

OP should have added the Broncos to this list. They were supposed to be a QB away from contention. They spent a lot of money to get a QB, to whom they’re now tied to for a long time. Yesterday they lost 7-5 at home. Let’s ride! edit: I was wrong. I didn’t make the end of the game. Apparently the Broncos made a heroic comeback and all is right in Broncos Country. Let’s Ride!

The Chargers got crushed by the Jags at home. The Chiefs lost to a winless Colts team. The Broncos, who spent a boatload of money on a QB this off-season lost 7-5 to SF. All of those are much worse than losing to a hungry divisional opponent on the road, in the heat, and with an unreal amount of injuries. I think the Chiefs and Bills will be OK. The Chargers and Broncos have serious questions. Outside of Bates and Kumerow, the guys that left the game yesterday were due to heat. They'll be back next week. Morse, Poyer and Oliver were close to going this week so they’ll probably be good after an additional week. We’ll be OK.

I think there is a limit to what they are allowed to do

Allen indicated that to the ref.

And as Royale noted above their sideline is in the shade. The stadium is designed that way.

One of the reasons that the Dolphins won today is that they treated it like a playoff game and we treated it like week 3. They played guys that we would have sat. Terron Armstead didn’t practice all week and played with a bad toe. Little kept coming back into the game although he was obviously hurt. Tua came back in like it was a playoff game. And they still should have lost if our guys could have stopped cramping. Now they have to go to Cincinnati to play a newly confident Bengals team in 4 days. Good luck.

They played their hurt players. We rested ours. I think McDaniel wanted to get a division lead to reset the culture.

Same people show up after losses.

13/18 for 186 is good?

Miami's biggest home field advantage is that shady sideline.

I know that injuries are not an excuse and all that, but Dawkins was the only starter on the OL by the end of that game.

I look forward to seeing you around here all week.

How about that!

I didn't even think of that.

Here's the clocking rule from the NFL rulebook: As soon as he bobbled that snap, he cannot clock it anymore.

I have to think that Morse's elbow swelled up overnight after the game.

I'm right next door in Finneytown!

I really want to see the Bengals win this one today against the Jets and go into the Thursday night game against MIA on a roll. I also live in Cincinnati and this town is a nicer place when the Bengals are winning.

Well good we don’t have to play them with a “banged up secondary.”
