    I'm talking about the Lions specifically. I made a comment about a QB playing great game against the Lions and heard it was because the Lions are terrible.

    No one has shredded them this season like Tua did though, so I guess he is awesome. :smile:

    I'd say it's 99% you're making this up.

    I'd say you are wrong.

    Yup, the worst defense in the league by passing yards per game is Atlanta, with 318.13 yards allowed per game. Our next opponent, Chicago, is 3rd best with 198.88 passing yards allowed per game. Let's keep that in mind if Tua "only" puts up ~250 yards against Chicago.

    Actually you're wrong. Passing this year by game against the Lions - 239, 308, 250, 320, 188 and 191.

    Nobody has done that to the Lions…. Or to any other defense in the league this year for that matter.

    Yup. Tua, Wentz, and G. Smith are the only three quarterbacks to put up 300 or more passing yards against the Lions O.

    Weather is not looking good for anyone passing next week.

    Their pass defense should take a step or two back without Quinn pressuring the qb.

    And they just traded their best Linebacker - Roquan Smith. Maybe that helps our depleted O line.

    Saw18 mph sustained wind with gusts up to 50. Still a weekish out, so hopefully it comes down.

    Gotta wait to 3 days before the game to get good accuracy with forecasts. It also depends on micr-climates. Some cities have more changeable weather and others more stable. I don’t knowChicago specifically but proximity to large lakes and mountains tends to make long range forecasts less reliable.

    Geno Smith is a guy who I’ve always rated as mediocre at best, although capable of putting a great game together every now and again. I’ve been waiting for him to fall back to earth this year, but he’s consistently playing at a very good level this year. I may have to consider revising my opinion of him.

    Only problem, like Pauly said, the weather there changes all the time with the lake effects and whatnot.

    They have lost Robert Quinn and now Roquan Smith so that likely changes a bit.

    Why haven’t we traded for a corner yet?

    I love it how every body just forgets about how Tua and the offense played against a decent Steelers defense just last week, because they scorched a terrible lions defense this week. Dolfans have the memory of a goldfish.

    For the second consecutive game, the only player who was active but did not seen any action was quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. Four position players saw their only action on special teams: DB Elijah Campbell, LB Channing Tindall, T Greg Little and C Michael Deiter. Deiter is the only position player on the roster who has yet to play a non-special teams snap this season.

    I thought this interesting - the entire team is playing. Rowe was upset that he was a scratch last week but coach said he didn't play special teams. I don't really recall everyone being this involved before.

    More snap counts:

    -- After coming into the lineup for injured left guard Liam Eichenberg, second-year player Robert Jones played a season-high 15 snaps. He had played eight offensive snaps this season before that — three against New England and five against Buffalo.

    -- Running back Salvon Ahmed, who was active ahead of Gaskin, got his first three snaps of the season on offense in his fifth game. He had one rushing attempt. Raheem Mostert again got the overwhelming majority of the snaps at running back with 44 to Chase Edmonds' 16. There's no reason to think that's going to change anytime soon — barring injury, of course.

    -- Same story as usual at wide receiver, with Jaylen Waddle, Tyreek Hill and Trent Sherfield dominating the snaps. It was interesting, however, that rookie free agent Braylon Sanders got the same number of snaps on offense (14) after being elevated from the practice squad as offseason acquisition Cedrick Wilson Jr. While he has dealt with some minor injuries, it's telling that Wilson hasn't played more than 16 snaps in any game since he played 28 and 22 in the first two weeks of the season.

    -- Our tight end check reveals that Durham Smythe and Mike Gesicki each played 31 snaps after Smythe got the start. What was noteworthy at this position was Hunter Long getting 17 snaps after getting only four in the Sunday night game against Pittsburgh.

    -- Fullback Alec Ingold played 27 snaps on offense — he scored his first touchdown for the Dolphins — marking the seventh time in eight games his snap count was in the 20s.
