Three Dolphins Starters Suffer Serious Injuries against Ravens

They are definitely banged up. 

 

Chubb was coaching malpractice. Phillips probably too. 

 

I will say that they're a team that is predicated on speed, agility, etc especially on offense. Those body types are more prone to injury and getting banged up by the end of the season. 

 

It's still going to be a very tough game for the Bills. Josh has to be at the top of his game

Updates on these injuries after practice today or tomorrow?


No updates but Chubb and Howard will definitely be out. Tua will likely play.

Tua will be fine most likely.

 

However, the two Dolphins defense injuries could be bad but it could help us out

Back in the day, the very first series, one of the back up DTs would have been sent in to hit him hard and land on him, maybe even throw fists and try to get somebody else ejected when they came after him.   In todays league, the Bills won’t even pressure him for fear of hurting him.

The problem with a finesse team is getting smacked around a lot.  They are predicated on speed, timing and precision, not brute size, strength and imposing their will.   They have the same issue the Bills had when they couldn’t run the ball, everyone has to be perfect for it to work.  Credit them for making that happen a lot this year, but very similar to the Bills of the past few years, when a team bullies them, they fold.  It’s a cute system for the regular season, when things tighten up and the big boys come to play, it’s a different world.   
 

There are only a couple teams built to win in the post season this year.  1) Ravens, if Lamar stays hot, they are the champs, end of story.  2) Eagles, they can run you over, and take the top off.  3) 49ers, assuming Purdy doesn’t have another 4 TO day, they are very efficient and have a very strong D to compliment the explosive O.  4) Bills/Browns both teams are not at full strength because of big injuries, but both have had time to fill those holes pretty well.  I call them even because Flacco and Allen are turn over prone, but both can carry you.  Browns are more physically imposing in both sides, Bills more explosive on O and will capitalize on the slightest mistake on D.  6) Rams have all the components but lack experience at key positions.. could be a real dark horse.  7) KC, good D and Mahomes makes them a threat anytime.

 

Everyone else is a pretender.
