billvernsays Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 1 hour ago, Lieutenant Aldo Raine said: Miami has really nothing to lose; all deck is stacked against them, and they are expected to lose. Therefore, we must be ready for a heavy dose of shock plays. We can’t let them move down the field with defensive holding or pass interference penalties. They have talent on both sides of the ball. I expect a very gimmicky game plan where we need to be prepared for anything and to not take them as lightly as most fans and the media are. With that being said if Josh takes care of the football, I don’t see how we can lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearNorth Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 With how banged up the Fish are on the O-Line, I suspect a lot of dink and dunk, and quick passes to Hill and Waddle and let them create YAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Water Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 4 minutes ago, Success said: I'm not a huge fan of "there's no way they can lose" games. But, realistically, it does seem like there is no way we could lose. A team w/ a lesser coach could - but McD will make sure they're focused and treating this w/ the intensity that a playoff game requires. I will say that there are a number of challenges faced by McDermott here. Based on Dawkins "Letter to Bills Mafia Part III" I think there can be no doubt that some of our guys face this with a mixed heart. As Dawkins said "We’re keeping it SIMPLE this run. Because — straight up: It’s just football. You know what I’m saying? It’s JUST football!! And we’re better than these other teams at it, so let’s beat four of them and then have a parade." On the other hand, "But there’s no way to sugarcoat it: that what we do is f*cking scary. And at the end of the day?? I just want to get home, man. Just get home safe to my family….. that’s pretty much it. ..... We’re about to give these playoffs our WHOLE business. But sh*t weighs heavy right now — and I’m working through that." It can't be denied that we're going in there with several handicaps on D. We moved on from Dean Marlowe because he couldn't crack the starting lineup against Dr Poyer and Mr Hyde, and we wanted to develop Jaquan Johnson and Damar Hamlin as our backup safeties. Now Hamlin's out, I don't think anyone sees Johnson as a future starter at safety, and Marlowe is starting, and Poyer is hampered by injury. We signed Von Miller to the big FA bucks because he could be the "finisher" that we lacked on pass rush; it's true that he's far from the only change we made on DL, so we still may have improved interior pressure. It all depends on the young guys now, AJ Groot and Basham. Then there's the "WTF has happened to Gabe 'ToeDragSwag' Davis?" question. Miami is a good team and they're going to come out swinging. Coach McGeek will have the Dolphins prepared as well. As McDermott said "they have good team speed". People expecting a beat-down will be disappointed I think. But I do like our chances for the win. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appoo Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 3 hours ago, DCbillsfan said: Last playoff appearance 2016. Last playoff win 2000. I sometimes enjoy thinking about how the Dolphins drafted Ryan Tannehill. I guess they only have 1-2 years until Tua was ready to be a starter for them. Bit really is bad that they couldn’t build a playoff team around Tannehill, looking at what the titans do with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In looking at their playoff history (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Miami_Dolphins_seasons) ... when they lose, they usually get their asses handed to them. Question: Do Dolphins have asses?
