Year after year we've seen the Dolphins set the league on fire in the first 3 or 4 games, and then fold. What happened yesterday looks like the beginning of the end for them. Their defense can't stop anyone and the Bills put out a blueprint on how to slow down that offense. It will be interesting to see how the Giants do against them next week. The Giants aren't nearly as good as the Bills, but I'm sure McDermott and the boys will share what they learned with Daboll and his staff. If the Fins lose to the Giants at home, the swoon will be in full motion... Yesterday reminded me of a few years ago when they rolled into Buffalo late in the season after beating up on a bunch of ***** teams…. The media was drooling over them, the Bills had no shot. In the end Matt Barkley and the second stringers were kicking their ass in the second half Edited October 2, 2023 by BananaB 1 1 Quote

Franco_92 Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 I've read that coaches scheme up about 15 or so plays in scripts to start out their first offensive drive or two, and they run down the list as long as they stay ahead of the sticks. This is often credited as the reason why offenses can march methodically down the field and score on the first drive, and then struggle the rest of the way. My impression is that teams don't write a new script at halftime, but if there was any time to sort of recollect and try to create an offensive narrative or flow after being stalled, that would be the time. It's interesting that a consistent theme of Sean's defenses are that they struggle on the first couple of drives before locking teams down. The Dolphins were able to score quickly on two drives, and then didn't do anything again until the first drive after halftime (when about half of the stadium was still in line at the bathrooms fwiw) when they presumably could have regrouped. Then, nothing again the rest of the way. Whatever edge these teams seem to get on us early, it appears that McDermott is great once the flow of the game takes over and it becomes a real chess match. I'd definitely rather have a coach that might be leaky during the scripted drive and great when the game settles in than the reverse 1 Quote

Last year I bought a Rick Jeannerett jersey…he died. This year I started Tre and look what happened. With such a bad opener I switched to my RJ jersey. I figured that he is already dead what else could go wrong? 3-0 baby! I used to think I couldn’t buy jerseys of anybody until they got extended. That wearing a QB jersey was a curse. But apparently I can’t wear jerseys until that person is dead. I’m basically a walking sports voodoo doll. let’s test this out, why don’t you go buy a Mahomes jersey? 1 4 3 Quote
zow2 Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 An underrated side note of the victory is winning in the proper home uniform, blue over white, for the second home game in a row. That should be the home uni, always. 1 4 Quote
Pokebball Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 I love these. That play where Morse spins out to block the edge guy? Let's remove that from the play book. 1 2 Quote

It wasn't like the Fins were running us off the field. He's just embracing extreme negativity. He's the same with the Yankees, though this year he has a point. Quote

It's not like he said something we weren't all thinking at those same moments on those first couple of drives. He may need to not be so sensitive, and some people need to stop acting like they never had concerns. You're not less of a fan because you recognize the other team is cookin. I know I had some nerves but I also had a feeling Buffalo was going to pull ahead eventually. Quote
