This complaint after the dolphins game baffles me but I’d agree with it in some prior games…he threw maybe one risky low percentage deep pass that ironically hit diggs right in the hands. Everyone else was open(not sure what happened on the brown play but he definitely had a step then seemed to run the wrong route)…the dolphins were jamming everyone/flooding the middle and trying to single cover the outside receivers. they were daring us to go deep and just hoping josh couldn’t connect on the throws or the pass rush would get home. Coverage was tight on a lot of the underneath throws

I really didn’t see a lot of open underneath receivers honestly…and on a few plays where there were it was a situation where gabe Davis had two steps against single coverage or shakir was wide open for a 50 yard gain or something like that. If you don’t want your qb taking those shots he shouldn’t be starting. He certainly has had games where he passed up underneath attempts for risky deep throws before but the game yesterday was not a good example of that it was really the short throw to Beasley that sunk his game…a deep int is not the end of the world it’s pretty similar to a punt. miami was very handsy on all the routes and it was effecting the underneath receivers the most

At least…people are so used to teams selling out to stop the deep ball but Miami did the opposite. Had to take the shots in single coverage on the outside because receivers in the middle of the field were getting mauled.

Idk if it’s because I had a great view of that play or what lol but waddle was wiiiiide open on that throw and it was hardly low percentage I just don’t get people anymore lol the dolphins were single covering guys on the outside to load up the middle and they were repeatedly getting burned… we don’t think we should’ve thrown those passes because we had previously thrown a deep pass? 😂. Usually the opposing defense forces us underneath if we want to take those throws to take away the deep stuff but the dolphins did the opposite. they were giving us the deep throws and hoping their pass rush got home in time and it was a mixed bag…they got tons of pressure but narrowly avoided us scoring like 21 more points lol

Bengals didn’t look so hot tonight lol and the chiefs have been barely beating terrible teams all year so who are they to talk? Neither of the picks today were really bad decisions imo…looked like brown got lost on the deep throw and the throw to Beasley was at worst a good defensive play and at best pass interference. I’m on the other side honestly if we had won a clean game 34-31 against the dolphins I’d be a lot more worried

I’m not sure who else is pulling that defensive gameplan off on the afc side of the playoffs at least. of course those other teams offenses are going to move the ball more easily than Miami did today though. Miami has been wildly underperforming but they have a ton of talent on the defensive side especially up front. Jaelan Phillips/Christian Wilkins/Bradley chubb up front is pretty brutal then they’ve got Melvin Ingram who they can rotate in. missing link for them has been Xavien Howard playing hurt but he looked pretty healthy today. Kc’s entire front 7 is one guy and the bengals don’t seem to be getting a lot of push up front lately either

I didn’t really see too many missed checkdowns this particular game honestly. Not sure if that’s just me though lol Miami was committing on all the underneath stuff and forcing us to go deep hoping josh wouldn’t have time to set up on the deep throws

I had a pretty good view of a lot of this game and idk if today was different or what but I just did not see these ‘open receivers underneath’ everyone talks about lol. The dolphins defense played a heck of a game with a big assist from the refs just deciding not to call 95% of the holds. they were clogging up the middle and single covering the outside receivers for a lot of the game.

Watch Dawson Knox get chucked like 6 yards back towards the line of scrimmage and that is a little hint of why we were seeing deeper routes lol the receivers in the middle of the field were getting absolutely mugged all game long. that was a legal play but many were not 😂

McDaniel trying to throw backed up way in his own end zone on third down with a third string qb might’ve been the worst coaching decision of the year. Just edges out McDaniel trying to force throws in the red zone the last time they played us he’s just not a very good coach…I don’t understand they hype at all. This dolphins team was stacked and they put their qb in harms way far too many times and he could not figure out his defense that is loaded with playmakers for 17 weeks mcdaniel is going to be ok / not great and replaced by Sean Payton in a couple years imo

Lol one of those hit Beasley right in the chest, one his offensive line blocked absolutely no one, and one looked like brown ran the wrong route/lost the football. Josh won that game for us…dolphins were jamming/holding all our underneath receivers all game forcing us to try to hit on those outside throws before their pass rush got home. if you didn’t want him taking outside shots in single coverage, we would’ve scored 0 points Lol seriously…this is the ultimate example of hindsight is 20/20. Watching that ball fly towards a wide open jaylen waddle had me begging he called timeout 😂. that looked like a backbreaker from section 141 lol

Did the bills give up 31 to Skylar? Lol there was one pretty good offensive drive for Miami and the rest was all short fields/ a fumble six. 3 total tds, one was a defensive score, one td drive started on the 18. two of their fg drives started in very good field position due to bad special teams play/an interception. Their offense hardly did anything that game was all about the boom or bust Miami defense

Dolphins were holding all game…the nfl not throwing any flags in the playoffs really syncs up with them jamming all our receivers in the middle of the field and single coverin the outside routes

Waddle had a td there…timeout looked brilliant when the ball was in the air lol

Waddle had a walk in td there

Probably resellers that got too greedy and couldn’t unload their tickets in time…I bought tickets last week and have been checking periodically throughout the week and there was nothin cheap guaranteed there’s people waitin to scoop them up last minute for that reason

Reporters have said that the bengals players were talking about maybe not playing the following week

Does he ever take off those 80s sunglasses lol.

Almost as many injuries as we had against them the first time 😂

We were down 4 olinemen by halftime in the first matchup too lol. No morse to start then lost bates, brown, and van roten

He hasn’t looked awful from what I’ve seen of him but their offensive line is very banged up too so things haven’t been easy for him. they could be missing 2 starting olinemen and several depth guys.

Our linebacker play wasn’t nearly as good last year and tre looks like he’s improving every week. I’d take tre at 80% and a combo of elam/Dane Jackson over Levi Wallace and Dane Jackson. a team like kc is gonna score their points we just need to get a few more stops than they do

We’ll have to see what happens next year…the defense is bad and the offense seems like it may have been figured out (when tua plays). If we’re grading them with injuries turned off it would make sense to match them up with other healthy teams. The bills and ravens would’ve won those two early season games but I think a healthy dolphins team would’ve won the Vikings, jets and patriots games. So 10 wins sounds right for this season but we’ll see about next year

I don’t think Miami would’ve been nearly as successful on defense if we didn’t lose a boatload of offensive line starters in the first matchup and a few in the second matchup the offensive depth chart in the second half of our first game against them was laughable

The lineup is not worse than last year…Milano and edmunds are playing much better than last season, Rousseau is playing out of his mind. Daquan jones is playing well. Ed oliver is playing well enough to draw doubleteams. Corner was not good last year after White got hurt too so there’s no change there…I still think white at 80% is better than anyone else we’ve had at corner the last two years. we have more depth there this season too. The only real negative compared to last year is no Micah hyde but everything else more than offsets that.
