Good, Bad, and next week
36 replies
Dolphins1Beatlesforum_veteranOPThe Good:
-Dolphins won and that's the most important. Moved ahead of the Jags and are now the "7 seed." Defense looked amazing, they made up for the poor second half offense.
-Broncos lost, which moves them back with the pack. Steelers lost as well.
-Camarillo. I've been saying we need to pass to him more, and we did and he had over 100 yards, making some huge catches.
The Bad:
-Offense did everything to try and lose the game after the first 2 TDs. Fumbles, interceptions, penalties, the dumb end around[again-please stop the "cute" plays henning], a bobbled snap. They cant do that and expect the Defense to hold by only getting 14 points every week. Another game we dominated the stats and somehow couldn't pull away. I think we can overcome it though.
-Jets, Ravens, Patriots won. Patriots didn't look great though, they almost lost to the Panthers at home who have no QB. A win is a win though.
Next Week: Man has there ever been a bigger week? So many teams to cheer for. Tough game for the Phins in Tennessee, who will be fighting for their playoff lives. VY is down right now as I type this, looks like he hurt his hamstring. Kerry Collins may be coming in. Collins is 0-6 this year. VY is 6-1. collins is obviously better for us.
-HUGE BILLS fans. It's in Buffalo and the crowd should be fired up. Wouldn't they love to ruin the Patriots season? It's very possible. If we win and the Bills win, we move into 1st place and the #4 seed.
-BIG Raiders fans as well. If the Broncos lose to the Raiders and we win we would move past them into the playoffs.
-BIG Bears fans as well. Same thing goes. Bears win, we move past the Ravens if we beat the Titans.
-We want the Jags, Jets and Texans to lose too, but the ones above are more important. Wow what a week it will be.

Maybe at home, but yeah it being an away game is gonna makes me even more afraid of that fact for some reason.
Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

Tanking is like taking a Greyhound bus cross-country. Sure, it may eventually get you where you want to go, but it’s messy and unpleasant and uncomfortable, it stinks, the entire time you’ll be wishing you weren’t there, and not everybody along for the ride is going to make it to the end. - Quote stolen from Deadspin
Dolphins1Beatlesforum_veteranKerry Collins is still playing. Let's hope VY is ok, but wont be able to play against us.

Chris Johnson is not a RB. He's a machine! And trust me, even with Ferguson, it would be a tough challenge for Miami.

Dolphins1Beatlesforum_veteranTennesse is one of the toughest stadiums to play in as a road team. Kerry Collins being in would help us a lot. We'd just have to limit CJ as much as possible and hope our O puts up more than 14 points.

We didn't shut down DeAngelo Williams by any means, and I'd argue Johnson is better than Williams. This is one week where Roth's ability to set the edge would really help. I fear they'll be running at Porter a lot.
Just watching them against the Rams and they're running behind Michael Roos around the left side a lot; Porter better bring his A game next week.
@KevinMD4
Jacksonville can't do anything but help us now. They either lose to the Pat or another team and we move ahead, or they beat the Pats and we move into 1st in the division.
It really just comes down to the fact that we have to win out. If we can do that I know the Pats are going to lose another game along the way. I want to win the division again, not just a wild car spot (granted I wouldn't complain about it).
I'm not looking for the best players, I'm looking for the right ones.

Yep. Especially if VY is out, we're going to get heavy doses of CJ. It's going to be very tough to win in TN.
the JAGS, JESTS and HOU are not relevent ... the only way the JAGS help us is to beat NE. I would be shocked if the JAGS beat INDY next week ... which puts them out of the picture. The JESTS hold no tiebreakers, and HOU already has 7 losses.
for us, it is purely NE and BAL ... we need either to lose 1 (preferrebly NE).
of course, this assumes we can win out, as at 9-7 it would get pretty crazy .... as it won't be head to head .. it will come down to AFC records and common opponents - which i don't think we will fare very well with.

Seriously, DeAngelo Williams GASHED us and that was with a healthy Ferguson. The Carolina coaching staff shut him down for us.
Its going to be another dogfight in Nashville next weekend. What else is new?
JimTossforum_veteranOur ILBs are really slow, and like to hit the wrong holes, and take bad angles. One bad angle can definitely mean Chris Johnson is gone.
Plus we really didn't shut down Deangelo Williams at all.
Would be nice to have an outside linebacker who could force Johnson back inside where is at least a bit less dangerous.
Open field for Johnson means pain for the Dolphins.

Hahaha! Can't believe you're still pining for Matt Roth. Our run D has been EXCELLENT all season without that lying bum!

Deangelo williams gashed us good. Real good.
Dolphins1Beatlesforum_veteranDeangleo gashed us, but we still won. Keep the Titans off the field as much as possible and get some big pass plays.

Amen to that.

Yea doesnt matter though, the Dolphins have the best chance to make it. If we win out and the Jags win out then we win the division title anyway. Jags and Ravens can't win their divisions, Dolphins still can. If we win out we dont have to worry about that. Now if the Jags/Phins/Ravens all finish 9-7 that's another story. That's a confusing, stupid mess.
If the Dolphins, Ravens and Jaguars all win out? The Dolphins win the AFC East. That's just one scenario, but shows that if we win out, we have an amazing chance at making the playoffs. Even if the Pats do win out if the Ravens or Broncos slip up that also helps. So, just keep winning. I want the AFC East though. But I would take a wild card obviously.
Think how good it would feel if we won the division again-proving every single "expert" and doubter wrong for the second straight year. It would feel even better this year than last years felt.

The Dolphins weren't exactly playing well early off. I would rather see them have to play the best of what each team has to offer. Then we'll know what the team really is and there are no excuses or yea buts.
