I think they had Byron jones and a healthy Xavien Howard in that game if I’m remembering correctly…they love to play man coverage without a lot of safety help so having banged up corners should be a bigger deal for them than us. I’m sure Howard is gonna play but they’ve got a big dropoff on the other corner spot compared to that game last year and who knows how close to 100% Howard is

I think Levi Wallace admitted on someone’s podcast that he played the sideline when he shouldn’t have on that last play before the fg….I can’t remember what he said word for word though so I may be misremembering

Yikes…I’d definitely try to load up on offense now to compensate for all these defensive injuries

It’s matchups though not comparing overall how good a defense is. They like to play cover 0 man which has disastrous results against us. Our defense will be much better against their offense than their defense is against ours. Doesn’t matter that they’ve got good guys on paper it’s still a terrible schematic matchup for them

Tua is for sure a one read guy…unfortunately for the ravens their miscommunications were oftentimes leaving his first read wide open lol. he doesn’t seem great at keeping his eyes downfield when he buys some extra time in the pocket either I don’t think they’ll have time to even get deep…baltimore had the double whammy of zero pass rush and horrendous communication in the secondary going last week.

You think it’s Williams ? Austin Jackson is pretty bad and he’s on IR and their replacement RT is even worse. Robert hunt is bad, eichenberg is bad. Idk why they slid Williams to center though he’s a pretty high quality guard

It doesn’t look anywhere near as bad as I thought it would based on the caption but that could be wishful thinking lol

Tua was also very average in 7 quarters of the season so far and great in one

Bucs offense is not looking very good so far…that defense has certainly bailed them out though. Pretty surprising they’re 2-0 right now

That was a perfect playcall by the bills that goes for good yardage if shakir just slows byard down a little bit…it didn’t even have to be a full on block…I don’t think byard brings josh down one on one if josh has some space to operate

I mean any given Sunday and all that jazz but it’s pretty illogical predicting the dolphins win this game as an nfl analyst. The defense is mostly unchanged from the last few years except for a few rookie linebackers that haven’t had any real impact and they’ve never demonstrated they can slow down josh Allen. Miami has been weak on the offensive line and the bills defensive line has seemed much more potent since von miller came over in the offseason. Also if the game ends up turning into a shootout I think that heavily favors Allen not tua. Miami is an objectively better team than a year ago but they don’t match up particularly well against buffalo the patriots are closer to being on the right track to compete with the bills than the dolphins are at least schematically speaking. Dolphins really need to load up on bullies on the offensive line and defensive front 7

Tuas play had an inverse relationship with how often marlon humphrey was on the field lol

Also we were great on third down last week…why are people jumping a whole calendar year to last year to establish this narrative and skipping the other game we played this season 😂 we were 9/10 on third down against the rams and the one we missed was a medium yardage situation. That’s the big reason why the sloppy turnovers didn’t hurt us so bad we were unstoppable on third down Not to say moss is good but I don’t think singletary would’ve picked up any of those firsts last night either…there were no running lanes. Moss finds his way into the lineup because he’s a good pass blocker

Titans front 7 played great last night and we still whooped them…that’s the exact kind of team that would have given us trouble in the past. people seem to be sleeping on the titans because they choked against the giants…the titans were the much better team in that one. This was still a quality win. They’re not 1 seed in the afc good (and werent last year either) but they’ll likely win that division

I mean I wouldn’t call it an ‘excuse’ per se…but there’s certainly many easier teams to pick up a tough yard against so i don’t think it’s cause for alarm yet but maybe that’s just me. We lost Mitch Morse for a few of those early 3rd and shorts against a really tough front 7 and later in the game when we had a comfortable lead we weren’t going to risk Josh’s health and run the designed qb run plays that worked well a week earlier one of the third/fourth and shorts was a rookie receiver just not knowing his responsibility and completely whiffing on a block Not sure how us picking up 3rd and shorts at a 100% clip the week previous isn’t relevant though…you’d have to explain that to me. The only third down we missed in that one was a third and 5.

We really evened out the schedule disparity against us and Miami early on. We’ve only got one non afc north/nfc north game to go and we’ve got a decent chance to go 3-0 in those games. I think Miami has got the harder schedule going forward Their offensive line doesn’t seem any better this year…they have some big time weak links there especially now with Austin Jackson on IR. Unfortunately Kyle Hamilton kept rushing the passer when he was only supposed to simulate pressure and drop out so tyreek hill was wide open pretty much instantly on a lot of plays last week. The corner kept thinking he had safety help and handing him off to a safety that just wasn’t there. Tua made some great plays that were well covered in that game but a big chunk of his stats were peewee football level communication mistakes by the ravens secondary that’s pretty much the exact game you’d want tua to have the week before playing us…he’s gonna consistently look to tyreek to bail him out when the pocket is collapsing next week because it worked for him this week and he will be consistently double covered the ravens actually did a good job shutting down the screens and quick passes to the outside which was putting the dolphins in a lot of third and long situations the whole first half and tua looked like the tua we always see. They fell apart when Humphrey went down in the second half though.

The titans front 7 was dominating…which is getting overlooked because they lost by 34 lol we were 9/10 on third down week 1 we are going to be fine

Oh yea everything else was a train wreck for them…but that defense presented some challenges last night. Their front 7 was dominant early on which is the kind of game we usually lose since it makes us completely one dimensional.

Crowder looked good week 1. McKenzie had some huge games in the slot last season. I think we are writing off the titans as all around horrible because we absolutely obliterated them but that front 7 is nasty and they have some of the best safeties in the league.

Right but they won quite a few other superbowls during Brady’s tenure though lol on an individual season basis winning the superbowl is a very tough task even for the obvious best team in the league. A single game elimination playoff format is so high variance and you need some good fortune (see the David tyree helmet catch)

Yea people overlook this far too often…football is such a high variance sport with its single game elimination playoff format that if you’re looking on an individual season basis the best team doesn’t always win the Super Bowl. That certainly doesn’t take away from how good the team was…it takes a bit of luck to win the Super Bowl

Very close to seeing stadium renderings live in 3 years 🤣

Miami has the worst offensive line of those three teams…will that game not count also if our defense looks good? We are likely going to pressure them pretty heavily without blitzing…NE really got after them and likely wins that game if the pats offense didn’t make so many mistakes Miami scored one offensive TD that game and it was poor tackling on a 4th and 6 before the half the KC offensive line is infinitely better, people are talkin like adding tyreek has turned the dolphins into the 2020s Kansas City chiefs

For all the Miami doomers that show up in our game day threads worried about how the dolphins schedule is easier, we have just one non nfc north non afc north division winner to go (aka games not in common with Miami) and we are going at worst 2-1 in those games. Miami has yet to play one of those games and they’ve got the chargers who looked arguably better than kc last week and SF who got a huge qb upgrade Sunday. Houston should be a relatively easy win for them Id say from this point on Miami has the more difficult schedule

I still have this feeling that Lamar ends up in Miami…tua is gonna be pretty good at worst but imagine that offense with Lamar. if you swapped the qbs Sunday Lamar drops 60+ on that ravens defense. Tua was pretty average in the first half
