What are the odds Baltimore upsets both of them and takes them off our list of concerns? Lol

 

Um.... very low.

This ref crew is the worst in the league. They delayed this game by an hour and had so many reviews and bad calls. 

I thought it was the insistence on 40 yard incompletions over and over again.

Someone give Josh his shot on insulin please.

 

Don't need that sugar high.

 

It's been a long-assed time since I've seen him in that little control of his faculties. 

[Pokebball]

Too many of you are overthinking this. See you all next week!

It’s partially the mechanics of the call. The ref sees zeros then looks to the ball. It can’t be instant. 

I was seeing the game clock on TV, which may not have been in sync... but to my eye, they were snapping the ball one or two seconds after it reached zero... consistently.  They were breaking the huddle with 10-12 seconds on the clock and still getting the snap off.  Maddening to this viewer's eyes.

It’s like  one screwup starting with a kickoff out of bounds just spirals this team out of control. I wonder why mentally these things happen over and over.. Like honestly just kick it out of bounds and let a 3rd stringer start on the 25. 
 

Thompson was not good against the Blitz and was far more willing to just throw the ball up. Numerous times on 3rd down we sent just four and he was able to patiently sit back and make something happen.

I have to hear a legitimate defense of Dorsey. The play calls are awful. Terrible offensive game management. Long developing plays with a terrible Oline. There seems to be no game plan whatsoever. Just ad hoc offensive play calls. 
 

I think Dorsey is awful. Please somebody prove me wrong instead of posting a reaction or just out right insulting me. Make an argument for this turd. 

 

I think Dorsey might work well with a conservative QB - bring them out of their shell, give them confidence, push them to challenge themselves further. He does not work well with an aggressive QB who doesn't need to be told any of that. Before, Daboll was around to counter the calls and manage the situation. Without him it's too much.

 

But what I want to know is what happened at the bye. Before, the Bills were playing a lovely balanced offense for the most part. It hasn't looked the same since.

I think they win.  See today.  And if Huntley plays they win.

Not even balanced. They could’ve thrown shorter to intermediate routes all game. Allen wanted to show off.

 

Honestly they could’ve thrown the ball every snap. Just take what’s there. 

Allen wasn't showing off. He was flustered from getting blitzed all game and getting the ball out as quickly as he could.

 

I feel like they need to reign him in and force him to take his check downs in those instances. Simply stop with the go routes on every play.

Each game takes on a complexion of it's own.  

 

I agree, but there's a pattern with this offense, that often times look impatinent and lives and dies with the long play, with the quick strike.

After Damar’s injury, I went into the rest of the season with the idea that we already won the biggest battle. Kept me much more calm this week than I would have been otherwise.

 

I think in the end, the Dolphins are a gambling team. And it led to a lot of blitzes, a lot of turnovers, and an excruciatingly close game each meeting. All three of our meetings were decided by 3 points or less. But they went 1-2 with their gambles. I don’t think this means we are going to lose against a tougher team next week, to me we just survived the NFL version of Russian Roulette where the Dolphins played like their was nothing to lose, because they had nothing to lose.

 

Excited to watch next week, whatever that may bring….but go Ravens! Haha

Josh finishes 23/39, 352 yds, 3 TDs, 2 INTs

 

20 yards rushing

 

 

 

 

[PrimeTime101]

Do we win that game with Tua playing?

 

IDK

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Why are we throwing 50 yard bombs on 3rd and short. Get this stuff sewn up. But…another playoff win. We went almost 30 years without one not too long ago, not going to complain. Onto the next

[YoloinOhio]

Sending this team my liquor bill for the millionth straight year

Kicking out of bounds was what set them off last disaster slide too

Media needs to ask why the hell they kept throwing bomb after bomb when it wasn't working

This has been Josh’s go to when he’s not quite sure what’s going on. And if it’s not there, hold the ball and hope the underneath clears out and he can take off.
