I guess we technically control our own destiny against Miami but that could potentially depend on being perfect in conference games going forward…lac has been disappointing so I’m not sure they’re gonna lose that one. We both lost to NYJ and Minnesota which could force us wayy down the tiebreakers list if we split with them and finish with the same division and conference record lol

I think the last few weeks is more he has not been seeing some underneath defenders for whatever reason. It doesn’t look like he is knowingly passing up short throws to take risks pushing the ball down the field to me…which might be worse idk lol Maybe the final int in the game yesterday could qualify as that but there really wasn’t a short route on that play for whatever reason singletary snuck out late on a delayed route after a block but it looked like by that point davis had a step on Peterson. a better throw and that’s an incompletion at worst

This is true…it’s easy to extrapolate the team trending downward after a tough loss but on paper the 1 seed honestly isn’t as far off as people think since we have the head to head vs kc.

Oh this season for sure…I was just responding in general terms. it would take a lot for him to win it this year. It’s lookin like it’s gonna go to tua or tyreek hill if people want to hold tua missing three games against him. Obviously a lot can change but if that dolphins offense gets figured out it would take a lot for josh to catch mahomes at this point if qbs didn’t almost always win it it would go to tyreek hill for sure at this point imo

Rousseau who is quietly playing out of his mind poyer i wouldn’t count edmunds as all pro caliber but he is significantly better than his replacement so same kind of deal…when edmunds went down it was like a switch flipped tre white Hyde who isn’t returning but when another safety gets hurt in the same game and poyer is already missing it becomes relevant Previous week against the jets it was a little more valid as we were missing a lot of those guys and Milano instead of edmunds. a bit of hyperbole on my part obviously but when people say ‘every team has injuries’ it’s usually a team missing 1 or 2 high impact players then some players where there isn’t a big dropoff in the depth chart like us missing Elam. We have just been snake bitten this year and all the wrong guys are getting banged up on the defensive side

I think every qb including the eventual mvp winner has games like this at least once or twice a season. Even rodgers who threw 4 total ints all season last year was pretty horrible in 2 games

I don’t remember that being a designed sneak…looked like your standard qb scramble with josh calling his own number after taking the snap. I could be wrong though I don’t have the heart to watch these epic losses over again lol

Haven’t we never been stopped on a qb sneak in Josh’s career up to that point?

I really feel like I’m takin crazy pills here lol like I get being disappointed after a loss and wanting to flame everybody but missing 5 or 6 all pro caliber defensive players in the same game is not ‘normal’ by any means. Yet people keep saying ‘every team has injuries’. yea sure the offense could’ve bailed them out twice in a row and they failed spectacularly but this defense is about to get a ton of help. The defense essentially won the game on an epic goal line stand with a bunch of backups and practice squad level guys. If we end up missing out on the division no one will want to play us as the 6 or 7 seed imo.

I can’t blame anyone for being negative after yesterday but that really felt a lot like the loss to Arizona a couple years ago to me at least. It was pretty much an act of god that beat us…Jefferson is amazing but he’d make that 4th down catch probably once or twice out of 100 tries. assuming we start getting some defensive players back I think we’ll have plenty of talent to ride it out if josh continues to struggle

I don’t agree that the season would be over especially with the chargers loss last night but it certainly would push us towards seeming like a one and done team in the playoffs as a 6 or 7 seed at that point i didn’t update every game from this week but the nyt playoff machine still has us at over 80% to make the playoffs with the loss this week and assuming a loss next week. Nobody seems to want to hold on to the 6 or 7 seed…those highly touted afc west teams have completely imploded. What everyone thought would happen to the chiefs with a lot of stiff competition in their division actually happened to us instead 😂 people can keep parroting the ‘injuries are no excuse’ mantra but the defense is absolutely ravaged by injuries and it will improve dramatically come playoff time. Missing 5 or so all pro level players is outrageous. When people say ‘every team has injuries’ it’s usually one or two great players and a handful of average guys that aren’t much better than their backups

I have trouble blaming Dorsey for that…josh is throwing some truly horrendous interceptions that transcend playcalling lol. A couple more throwaways and we’re 8-1 with a defense ravaged by injuries

You didn’t really understand the context of the take then…Daboll was here last year and the same thing happened midseason so it’s not like this situation is unique to Dorsey. this thread is about how Daboll leaving has caused the team to collapse and I’m not ready to agree with that yet

The goal line fumble I don’t believe ever got to his hands…looked like a bad snap the int on 4th down wasn’t really that bad…it’s a turnover on downs regardless and he was trying to make a play. The final int was absolutely backbreaking though obviously

Yea the giants haven’t been very good…hes doing a good job with the team no doubt but they’re gonna come back down to earth record wise

Yea it’s lookin like we will probably be on the road for most/potentially all playoff games but the team is gonna look much different by then on the defensive side

We had just about the same midseason slump last year

Roster wise we should be in good shape playoff time and I doubt anyone is gonna want to play us but we will likely be on the road for most of those games if not all

Maybe maybe not…but in a conference with a lot of great teams we’re going to be on the road for the whole playoffs it looks like so I’m not sure how much that sentiment matters

How is that a guarantee? Wouldn’t the Vikings have been down 2 with 40ish seconds left?

I disagree but to each their own…a lot of people were saying the bills weren’t going to make the playoffs / pats were going to win the division etc last year…and a lot of people said Miami was going to win the division the year before

Lol so a sky is falling/this team might miss the playoffs midseason rant is validated by any result that’s not a Super Bowl win? That’s a bit outrageous imo

Yes….the original post blamed josh for the fumble though now were on a tangent you can blame him for plenty but the fumble I would not put on him

I’m not at all defending the sneak call…I just don’t think the snap even got to josh was all I was saying

They won a bunch of games in a row after the midseason negativity/the sky is falling posts last year so I’d let it play out before claiming victory
