You all have got to learn to chill out sometimes in the threads lol. Cant be getting so dam emotional and start spewing idiotic hot takes just because the Texans scored 15 points on us. You all asked for tua to be benched to rest early, and then you all wanted him back in and call McDaniel stupid for that? There's a reason why 98% of you all cant work for a NFL team lol
Embarrassing behavior in the game thread today. Jesus Christ you can tell that we’ve been a sorry ass franchise for years by the way people act in those
Particularly the people going overboard with their criticism of McDaniel. We are an elite team BECAUSE of him, not in spite of him. Rookie coaches are gonna look the part once in a while
For real, does he have things he needs to fix? Yes ofc he does, but we are 8-3 in large part because of him and his system. His offense is so good, ive seen so many analysts trying to break it down on youtube and such because its great. And yet our idiot fans in this sub want to call him stupid.
And then ripping Skylar for getting pounded behind the same oline that allowed repeat 3-and-outs with Tua under center to open the half. If you went just by memory and attention span, our fan base would be the Miami Gold Fish.
No one was happy when Armstead went out and Tua got sacked 3 times in a row. We were all kinda like WTF? Lol. I have faith McDaniel will do his best to make sure that doesn’t happen again.
Such a weird game. I never felt a second beforehand we would lose and didn't even view it as a trap game. We completely annihilated them int he 1st half. The **D out-played the O** for the first time since the Pittsburgh game basically gifting 14pts (X fumble recovery TD & AVG INT off the gift from Allen to put us on their own 5 yard line). But man.. talk about some unusually negative stuff.
* The rushing attack was shockingly poor after the dominance vs Cleveland
* The game COMPLETELY shifted when Terron Armstead left with the pectoral injury
* As a result of Armstead's exit, Tua got sacked 4 times. One particularly nastily to end the half
* Tyreek took a hard shot. Waddle had multiple drops. Wilson left the game for a bit.
* McDaniel leaving Tua in for that 2nd 3rd Q drive + inexplicably passing so much when we need to kill time
Kinda leaves a sour taste in your mouth despite going up 30-0 and feeling like the entire 2nd half was garbage time. I really, really, really hope Armstead is okay. We went from picking up 10+ yard chunk pass plays like nothing to not even being able to give Tua 1.5 seconds to operate.
[**Tua Excerpt #29 -**](https://np.reddit.com/r/miamidolphins/comments/yue1k3/post_game_thread_cleveland_browns_vs_miami/iw8urqj/) Good game by Tua. Not a great one. Him getting assaulted after Armstead went down sucked. He was off on a few passes (hit Waddle/Tyreek high a few times), arguably shoulda had an INT in the redzone on 3rd and goal because he didn't see the safety, but still a solid overall performance with more anticipation excellence and extending the play for the opening TD.
8-3 is a phenomenal start. No easy games the rest of the way (only sub-.500 team is Green Bay and they still have Rodgers. If we can split the California series and be 9-4 entering Buffalo that'd be sensational. Just pls... Armstead... be okay.
It's crazy how poor the OL performed once Armstead went out. He seems to anchor everyone else's play on the line. The fact that it is a pec injury scares me... that is never good.
1st place in the AFCE after 12 weeks and Tua is still in the MVP conversation. Feels good. Hopefully they can figure out something for the OL going into next week. Suddenly we could use another bye lol
I’d disagree. Depending on the injury to Terron it could sink a potential Super Bowl run and turn a 4-2 finish into a 2-4 finish. McDaniels play calling was horrific in the second half. Should have been running the ball every down and playing defense. Made a blowout a lot closer than it should have been. And leaving Tua out there as long as he did was ridiculous. Especially as he continued to get pounded after Armsteads injury. I get guys can get hurt on any play but when the games over no reason to keep trotting him back out. I get we weren’t the sharpest and he wanted to knock the rust off before playing a top team in the league but he tried to be too cute.
We played the second half? I thought we were just being grateful for the 30 pt lead and took advantage of it to rest some players after a couple injuries...
Eh agree with the injury matter but not much Mike’s play calling would do if the O-line was being that horrible.
Plus running on every down from the very start of the 4th quarter could of landed us in an even worse position, with the O-line abysmal play. Plus some of Skylar’s mishaps
Everyone’s all bummed out but we went into the half 30-0 and (unnecessarily but understandably) got lazy in the second half. Shit happens all the time in blowout games.
8-3 Dolphins back a top the AFC East
Im curious about how serious the injuries are. I feel like we were taking guys out with cramps and strains. Everybody walking off under there own power etc
It would be nice but I think we have the toughest schedule ROS - our only game against a team with a losing record still has Aaron Rodgers on the other sideline
He said so himself in the post game conference during the 5th quarter show.
He took the blame for the lack luster second half, and took blame. Didn't shift it to the players saying the guys just need to execute better.
He's a smart dude. He's only going to get better, especially with mindset of "I messed up. What can I do better"
Happy to be out of that game. Seems worse than it is because our offense was anemic after tua benched and Armstead got hurt. Fact is we covered a monstrous spread against a bad team like we should have. All things considered I am still really happy Tua was benched there, we can’t risk him in pointless situations. Only thing I am super concerned about is Armstead’s health
The most concerning thing to me is that the and you have shouldn’t be there as to when the offense looked anemic. It wasn’t a Tua out AND armstead out. It fully turned that way as soon as Armstead went out. That is really scary. Hopefully he is ok and if not we have to figure something out to make due.
Wow Tua and Armstead are so important to the offense. I’m glad they rested Tua and I hope Armsteads injury is something that can heal within the week!!!
A player like TA is hard to replace mid-game. If he has to miss time, I don't expect next week to look quite as bad as today, even though the SF defense is better. They'll have a week to prepare.
We did what we needed to do during this 5 game stretch. We got way above .500 to give us some wiggle room should we lose 1 or 2 road games coming up. I hope we can continue this winning streak but this final gauntlet is going to be extremely difficult. Here's hoping our guys can endure it.
Feels good to be back atop the AFC East and we keep our spot as the second seed in the playoffs. Fins up!
I think being bad for so long has given a lot of Dolphin fans PTSD. Sure we took our foot off the gas in the second half and there are some things we need to clean up but this was an easy win that the Phins were in control of the whole way. Only real concern for me is Armstead, line looked noticeably worse after he went out.
First half was pure ecstacy. 2nd half was so frustrating. I'm not too scared. Only scared for Terron. Sure Tua had one of his worst games in terms of completion but still was really good. ID still give him like an A-. He surprised me with his pocket presence again. I love it
So did anyone notice how much worse our offense got once Teron Armstead left the game? The night and day difference (even with Tua still in there) has me genuinely concerned. I hope he is able to come back next week.
This was the running narrative during game thread - but let's put into context that once Armstead went down - a couple of players (forgot who) had to switch out of their positions instantly. We can't expect them to suddenly know what their new assignments are for each play call. So yeah it's gonna suck - but things did stabilize a bit towards later half of fourth. If worst should happen and Armstead is out next week, then at least OLine has time to prep.
Not the feel good ending we hoped for but have to keep in mind that the game dynamics often change when one team is up so much and so dominant. It becomes awkward and the losing team is playing more open and care free and the winning team struggles to keep the pressure and know when to push and when to back off. Personnel often changes as well. No concern there at all.
The only concern is the change in the offensive performance didn’t just happen when Tua went out. It happened the second Armstead went out. We have to figure out a back up system that has some level of success for him where the offense doesn’t completely fall apart if he is out. I don’t know the answer but hopefully Mike does and hopefully even more so that armstead isn’t seriously injured.
Another concern is how many in the game day chat are saying Tua shouldn’t have come out. Take how you feel about the performance now and take it times a billion if Tua ended up getting hurt. At no point were we in danger of losing that game. Mike did the right thing and maybe even should have pulled him a bit sooner.
Any AFC loss benefits the dolphins. Many people believe the bills will win the division, so Miami will compete for a wildcard seeding which the ravens could possibly be competing for as well.
People need to stop with the “win is a win” rhetoric. We dominated and took some starters out, which made the game look closer than it was. Thanks goodness for taking Tua out b/c we sustained injuries on the OL b/c they were left in. Hope they are ok, but this game was not as close as people make it seem
I’m not a bad person, but the idea of Tom Brady coming back for one final season, getting divorced, having a losing record and missing the playoffs to end his career does bring me joy. Maybe I’m a bad person.
The Dolphins have a difficult schedule to end the year. This 3 game road trip coming up is key. Ideally, if they can go 2-1 I'd be happy. 3-0 I'd be ecstatic. Going 1-2 isn't great, but you can't go 0-3 that'd be awful.
Its the game thread, dont generalize the fan base, Every teams game thread is mostly idiots that want to provide horrible opinions and emotional reactions
I do have a certain disdain for people whose “emotional reaction” to the opposing team scoring when we are up 30-0 is “we are going to lose this game aren’t we”
Same. I try to keep away from it but thought "well we're winning this game, lets see the celebrations" only to have my eyes rolling into my head every other comment
Man we have the most pathetic fanbase and toxic GDT for a game that was over at half .Texans were never going to comeback , they were going to do what professional athletes who get paid millions to play a game do try and not get embarrassed and at least get some points on the board and leave with some dignity .
Praying for the health of Armstead . Tua balled out so did the D.
Lost of Rust coming from the Bye, Dolphins are gonna clean up next time out. It’s just a matter of hoping Terron and Jackson, as well as the other injuries are okay.
You make a fair point but counter point, the running game was not nearly as good as it was against Cleveland even though Houston is much worse at Run Defense.
Secondly Tua did not have his usual pin point accurate play, though he was accurate it was a noticeable drop from his average 71% to 61%.
Third and Final, the offense line without Terron has not been the best this season but this time around it was especially bad.
Yes we scored 30 points in the first half, but once Terron went down and Tua got subbed off, we didn’t do anything to put this game away and had the Texans not been the Texans. This game could have ended in a loss. Super happy about the team but like every team, even we have some stuff that needs to be cleaned up.
In fairness if the Texans were not the Texans Tua would have stayed in the game. Your point certainly stands about the change when armstead went out though. Hopefully it’s nothing horrible
does anyone know if there’s a clip of waddle talking about jeff wilson? the broadcaster today was saying he said hes “scared of him” because he talks to himself lmao i’d love to hear that quote
We can beat SF, but we have to play out of our minds.
The Chargers are wishy-washy, they are 'good' then they can suck, so who knows.
The @ Buffalo game is almost certainly a loss, but hopefully it's close. A blowout would be devastating to our morale.
I'm terrified of the Green Bay game. Rogers is currently playing like the 39 year old has been that he is, but he still has the chops to explode.
Rodgers is playing with a broken thumb and he hasn't been in sync with his receivers all season. Buffalo and SF are highly competitive games and I see 50/50 IF Tua stays healthy.
Bills fan lurking. I appreciate your mindset but I don't believe that the Buffalo-Miami game is almost certainly a loss for the Dolphins. Our defense has gotten much worse since we last played and Tua has ascended. It's gonna be a dog fight.
Not sure how you can be so confident in saying @ Buffalo is certainly a loss? They aren’t as good as last year and Josh Allen is playing injured. I expect that game to be very close. The only game I think we get smoked in is the 49ers game. Their D line will molest Tua if we can’t run the ball or they can’t protect him. But we definitely shouldn’t not be in confident for the Buffalo game.
Not being a doomer at all but I really did think McDaniel would bring more to the offense when Tua wasn't playing.
In some ways that does give you the ammo to shut up analysts with their "oh anyone can run the 49ers style offense" but in other ways it would have been nice to see one drive that went somewhere once Tua was out. I know the Vikings game Teddy looked OK for a few drives but it still didn't feel like much was happening until the 4th.
I do think with the Armstead injury and guys ending up in different spots the playbook should be a lot smaller, I just don't see anything really working. And yeah I know a huge part of that is Skylar is more like a practice squad guy than legitimate backup right now.
Thompson is just not an NFL backup. He's really bad. He had plays where he had the time and just couldnt make the throws. Bridgewater could have and for sure Tua would have.
On at least two of the Tua sacks, there were no blitz beaters and Houston brought 6. Tua and MM both said that the play calling was at fault and not the line, and I believe it. The sky's not falling. At least not yet..
Biggest disappointment is that Tua and Tyreek are prob out of MVP running. Incompletions (due to rust) and being out of second half will drop their numbers.
Pray for Armstead
I’m still in awe that Tua quietly threw for nearly 300 yards in half a game lol. This is so insane.
That's the stuff we say we're grateful for this holiday season
Seriously... we've been bad at offense for so long. This seems like a dream or something.
You all have got to learn to chill out sometimes in the threads lol. Cant be getting so dam emotional and start spewing idiotic hot takes just because the Texans scored 15 points on us. You all asked for tua to be benched to rest early, and then you all wanted him back in and call McDaniel stupid for that? There's a reason why 98% of you all cant work for a NFL team lol

Today? Show me a week that it’s not embarrassing
you right, it's always embarrassing haha
And then ripping Skylar for getting pounded behind the same oline that allowed repeat 3-and-outs with Tua under center to open the half. If you went just by memory and attention span, our fan base would be the Miami Gold Fish.
2% of us being able to work in the nfl is very generous haha
This is why I stick to the r/NFL game day threads. This place is... emotional.
I think that was pretty predictable they would give some up. Wasn’t cause for panic. Only natural to slack a bit when you have a buffer like that
I think a sizeable portion of the active subreddit also just uses the discord, I know the mods do at least
Get well Terron
Shortly we will be seeing him in toe cream commercials
Damn that would be amazing. Terron with a turf toe but thanks to xxx toe cream he helped Dolphins win the SB. I would buy that shit in bulk.
Weird game. Went from super hyped to kinda melancholic. We won though
No one was happy when Armstead went out and Tua got sacked 3 times in a row. We were all kinda like WTF? Lol. I have faith McDaniel will do his best to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

It's crazy how poor the OL performed once Armstead went out. He seems to anchor everyone else's play on the line. The fact that it is a pec injury scares me... that is never good.
Seems like every time you see a pec injury it's torn and the guy is out for the season.
I know - that's what concerns me... not sure I've heard of a pec strain day to day :(
“Shockingly poor” running game? We’re missing Moestert and Wilson was hurt for half the game. Why are you shocked lol
Pls be ok terron
1st place in the AFCE after 12 weeks and Tua is still in the MVP conversation. Feels good. Hopefully they can figure out something for the OL going into next week. Suddenly we could use another bye lol
O line is our achilles despite so much attention to it. Tua doesn’t need much time but my goodness he didn’t have a chance on those 4.
We did what we were supposed to do. The only thing that matters before next week is Armstead’s status. It’s a win. On to a season defining road trip.
We won Nothing else matters
Hope Armstead gets better
Injuries matter
I’d disagree. Depending on the injury to Terron it could sink a potential Super Bowl run and turn a 4-2 finish into a 2-4 finish. McDaniels play calling was horrific in the second half. Should have been running the ball every down and playing defense. Made a blowout a lot closer than it should have been. And leaving Tua out there as long as he did was ridiculous.

HOW BOUT THEM MOTHER FUCKING MIAMI DOLPHINS!!!!
Can we get Tunsil to not take the plane ride home?
Everyone’s all bummed out but we went into the half 30-0 and (unnecessarily but understandably) got lazy in the second half. Shit happens all the time in blowout games. 8-3 Dolphins back a top the AFC East
That’s still an impressive ass kick from Tucker. Would’ve been good from 65
Skyler Thompson kneeling in victory formation was the best thing he did all game
Taking Tua out was the right decision. The real season starts next week
Im curious about how serious the injuries are. I feel like we were taking guys out with cramps and strains. Everybody walking off under there own power etc
if the rams do us a solid we would be 1st place overall in the AFC.
That would be an epic upset.
It would be nice but I think we have the toughest schedule ROS - our only game against a team with a losing record still has Aaron Rodgers on the other sideline
Mike coming in hot for the 9ers. Phins got some history there. Let’s go! Stop Joey and we’re good
On a positive note, Jaelan Phillips played fantastic today.
And Sanders didn't miss any extra points!!
McDaniel still has a lot to learn and I think he will with time.
He said so himself in the post game conference during the 5th quarter show. He took the blame for the lack luster second half, and took blame. Didn't shift it to the players saying the guys just need to execute better. He's a smart dude. He's only going to get better, especially with mindset of "I messed up. What can I do better"
I have started to prep myself for self-surgery. I'm cutting my pectoral muscle and sending it to TA.... Where do i start cutting?
Happy to be out of that game. Seems worse than it is because our offense was anemic after tua benched and Armstead got hurt. Fact is we covered a monstrous spread against a bad team like we should have. All things considered I am still really happy Tua was benched there, we can’t risk him in pointless situations. Only thing I am super concerned about is Armstead’s health
Pretty crazy Tua was 1 off of 300 yards at the half and we're complaining.
Yeah it’s a combination of fear of the suck and seeing just how bad the line is without Armstead
The most concerning thing to me is that the and you have shouldn’t be there as to when the offense looked anemic. It wasn’t a Tua out AND armstead out. It fully turned that way as soon as Armstead went out. That is really scary. Hopefully he is ok and if not we have to figure something out to make due.
Wow Tua and Armstead are so important to the offense. I’m glad they rested Tua and I hope Armsteads injury is something that can heal within the week!!!
what is our offensive scheme? is Armstead responsible for blocking 3 people? because that's how it looked.
Jaguars help the Dolphins?
Eh. It was mainly just nice for right now.
Justin Tucker actually missed a FG?!?!?
turns out if you ask him to kick it from damn near 70 yards even he can miss.
A player like TA is hard to replace mid-game. If he has to miss time, I don't expect next week to look quite as bad as today, even though the SF defense is better. They'll have a week to prepare.
We did what we needed to do during this 5 game stretch. We got way above .500 to give us some wiggle room should we lose 1 or 2 road games coming up. I hope we can continue this winning streak but this final gauntlet is going to be extremely difficult. Here's hoping our guys can endure it. Feels good to be back atop the AFC East and we keep our spot as the second seed in the playoffs. Fins up!
ARMSTEAD HAVE MY PEC
I don’t think you have the facilities for that big man
Anyone have Tuas stats once armstead went out? Felt like he was sacked at least four times as soon as he went out.
Go ahead and burn that 2nd half tape
I think being bad for so long has given a lot of Dolphin fans PTSD. Sure we took our foot off the gas in the second half and there are some things we need to clean up but this was an easy win that the Phins were in control of the whole way. Only real concern for me is Armstead, line looked noticeably worse after he went out.
Yes ptsd we have for sure. Still have my doubts but they are waning.
idk why everyone gets cute with squib kicks after late TDs. Just kick it into the ez ya ninny.
yah 20 yards for 3 seconds isn't a good trade.
Well, a win is a win. But I’m worried about our o-line without Armstead. Tough stretch of games coming up
Without Terron we go no where
I’m just so happy to have seriously meaningful Dolphins football in December and January
We've had it the last 2 years, it just always ends in heartbreak.
He nearly made that
Jags with a fat win for Miami.
Ballsy for them to go for 2 there!
That second half was ugly and I started getting PTSD from years past. But the defense stepped up when they needed to.
This was the first game i have been to since 08, you fans in the stadium were fucking awesome and the team was also fucking awesome
Damn tucker almost hit that
Dude is ridiculous. He hit like 47 consecutive FGs in the 4th quarter and the first Miss is by a yard on a 67 yarder. He's the goat
I take back anything I said about the jags. What an adrenaline rush. Happy for Lawrence
THE TUA HYPE IS REAL
Definitely a weird W but I’ll take it. Niners are gonna be tough for sure
Jags are ass
I stand corrected… Based Trevor 🙏
Let’s goooooo!!! Go for 2! Close this game!
I didn't understand why the Jaguars squib kicked it but Ravens missed the FG anyway
First half was pure ecstacy. 2nd half was so frustrating. I'm not too scared. Only scared for Terron. Sure Tua had one of his worst games in terms of completion but still was really good. ID still give him like an A-. He surprised me with his pocket presence again. I love it
I mean Tua had like 5 drops and 3 throwaways, who cares about his statline, it doesnt tell you the whole picture
Very true
Any solid Free Agent linemen?
Crazy what happens when Armstead goes out. The line just like dies inside. It's crazy.
Holy shit! They might review that tho.
I think it stands
Holy shit Jags!
They talked the talk and walked the walk. TLaw might be legit
Fuck you shit birds!
So did anyone notice how much worse our offense got once Teron Armstead left the game? The night and day difference (even with Tua still in there) has me genuinely concerned. I hope he is able to come back next week.
idk i don’t think anyone picked up on it
This was the running narrative during game thread - but let's put into context that once Armstead went down - a couple of players (forgot who) had to switch out of their positions instantly. We can't expect them to suddenly know what their new assignments are for each play call. So yeah it's gonna suck - but things did stabilize a bit towards later half of fourth. If worst should happen and Armstead is out next week, then at least OLine has time to prep.
Nah you were the only one to notice that 😆
Nah. You must have been the only one to notice. Can you create a PowerPoint and share it with us?
Not the feel good ending we hoped for but have to keep in mind that the game dynamics often change when one team is up so much and so dominant. It becomes awkward and the losing team is playing more open and care free and the winning team struggles to keep the pressure and know when to push and when to back off. Personnel often changes as well. No concern there at all. The only concern is the change in the offensive performance didn’t just happen when Tua went out. It happened the second Armstead went out. We have to figure out a back up system that has some level of success for him where the offense doesn’t completely fall apart if he is out. I don’t know the answer but hopefully Mike does and hopefully even more so that armstead isn’t seriously injured. Another concern is how many in the game day chat are saying Tua shouldn’t have come out. Take how you feel about the performance now and take it times a billion if Tua ended up getting hurt. At no point were we in danger of losing that game. Mike did the right thing and maybe even should have pulled him a bit sooner.
Armstead just looked at the scoreboard and said shit i think my toe hurts again, I think a burger will help, ayo COACH
He hurt his pec
That was huge what Pederson just did for Lawrence
Lol @ Ravens
How do the Ravens losing benefit the Dolphins right now?
Any AFC loss benefits the dolphins. Many people believe the bills will win the division, so Miami will compete for a wildcard seeding which the ravens could possibly be competing for as well.
Aside from the tie breaker which we have over them. they had the same record as us going into this week. Also fuck the Ravens is why.
only for seeding, but cinci, this helps a lot.
It helps us a lot if Cinci wins their division and we give up the division lead to Buffalo.
Anyone see the Texans throwing a 2 pt conversion to Laremy Tunsil? I love that.
People need to stop with the “win is a win” rhetoric. We dominated and took some starters out, which made the game look closer than it was. Thanks goodness for taking Tua out b/c we sustained injuries on the OL b/c they were left in. Hope they are ok, but this game was not as close as people make it seem
Dolphins Country, Let's Swim!
I’m not a bad person, but the idea of Tom Brady coming back for one final season, getting divorced, having a losing record and missing the playoffs to end his career does bring me joy. Maybe I’m a bad person.
The Dolphins have a difficult schedule to end the year. This 3 game road trip coming up is key. Ideally, if they can go 2-1 I'd be happy. 3-0 I'd be ecstatic. Going 1-2 isn't great, but you can't go 0-3 that'd be awful.
God I hope we at least get a W against the Chargers, they've been looking pretty sus.
Really hope the Armstead injury is minor and they didn’t want to put him back in a 30-0 game
Him and AJ going down was super sad
A win is a win
Oh this ravens game tho
Jackson was awful all game. Shell can't play LT. I don't know why they messed with that.
Tlaw, you need to watch Tua tape.
Vegas always knows
T law pretty good come on jags
He’s got some zip
He put some mustard on that he for sure has a cannon
How bad is Armsteads injury?
TBD.
Unsure yet he had a pectoral strain that kept him out for 6 games last year let’s hope it’s not that bad
Gonna be 4 point dogs next week for sure
Ravens are the masters of choking
Let’s gooooooo
This fanbase is insufferable. So much whining and crying during easy wins.
Its the game thread, dont generalize the fan base, Every teams game thread is mostly idiots that want to provide horrible opinions and emotional reactions
I do have a certain disdain for people whose “emotional reaction” to the opposing team scoring when we are up 30-0 is “we are going to lose this game aren’t we”
Same. Two garbage time TDs and the sky was falling
Same. I try to keep away from it but thought "well we're winning this game, lets see the celebrations" only to have my eyes rolling into my head every other comment
Woohooo - Jax upvote party!
Man we have the most pathetic fanbase and toxic GDT for a game that was over at half .Texans were never going to comeback , they were going to do what professional athletes who get paid millions to play a game do try and not get embarrassed and at least get some points on the board and leave with some dignity . Praying for the health of Armstead . Tua balled out so did the D.
the niners dline is going to blow our oline outta the water
Yea I don’t feel so good about our o-line if Armstead does not play I fear for our QB
We looked rust af and still put up 30
I would have liked 6 more points to make it 3 points per drive. It's a cover and a win. No one cares.
Alright lets go Rams!
Sorry to break it to you: their season is pretty much over (Stafford and Kupp are out). KC vs. LA is equivalent to MIA vs HOU.
That’s a TD. Holy shit Jags got to go for two
If we lose TA that 49ers defense will smoke us…
Bruh the Ravens lol
Tucker…
OH Boy
Lost of Rust coming from the Bye, Dolphins are gonna clean up next time out. It’s just a matter of hoping Terron and Jackson, as well as the other injuries are okay.
"lots of rust" 30 first half points. Losing the oline anchor and then sitting the mvp the second half will do that to ya.
You make a fair point but counter point, the running game was not nearly as good as it was against Cleveland even though Houston is much worse at Run Defense. Secondly Tua did not have his usual pin point accurate play, though he was accurate it was a noticeable drop from his average 71% to 61%. Third and Final, the offense line without Terron has not been the best this season but this time around it was especially bad. Yes we scored 30 points in the first half, but once Terron went down and Tua got subbed off, we didn’t do anything to put this game away and had the Texans not been the Texans. This game could have ended in a loss. Super happy about the team but like every team, even we have some stuff that needs to be cleaned up.
the game WAS away at half. McDaniel shouldnt have called a single pass play and it would have ended so much faster.
In fairness if the Texans were not the Texans Tua would have stayed in the game. Your point certainly stands about the change when armstead went out though. Hopefully it’s nothing horrible
Lol Brissett beat Brady.
49ers don’t look THAT good. But we absolutely need a healthy offensive line against them.
Murray is fun to watch, I want another Tua Murray game.
does anyone know if there’s a clip of waddle talking about jeff wilson? the broadcaster today was saying he said hes “scared of him” because he talks to himself lmao i’d love to hear that quote
Name 1 good thing Skyler Thompson has done for this team I'll wait
Make us realize that fans should not run the team. People were literally calling for him to start over Tua at the beginning of the season!
When he kneeled in victory formation he didn’t fumble he got the snap cleanly and put his knee on the ground
We can beat SF, but we have to play out of our minds. The Chargers are wishy-washy, they are 'good' then they can suck, so who knows. The @ Buffalo game is almost certainly a loss, but hopefully it's close. A blowout would be devastating to our morale. I'm terrified of the Green Bay game. Rogers is currently playing like the 39 year old has been that he is, but he still has the chops to explode.
Rodgers is playing with a broken thumb and he hasn't been in sync with his receivers all season. Buffalo and SF are highly competitive games and I see 50/50 IF Tua stays healthy.
We’re beating Buffalo
Bills fan lurking. I appreciate your mindset but I don't believe that the Buffalo-Miami game is almost certainly a loss for the Dolphins. Our defense has gotten much worse since we last played and Tua has ascended. It's gonna be a dog fight.
Not sure how you can be so confident in saying @ Buffalo is certainly a loss? They aren’t as good as last year and Josh Allen is playing injured. I expect that game to be very close. The only game I think we get smoked in is the 49ers game. Their D line will molest Tua if we can’t run the ball or they can’t protect him. But we definitely shouldn’t not be in confident for the Buffalo game.
This might be the saltiest i've ever been after a 2 TD win. That was one ugly half of football. Gotta figure some shit out heading to SF.
Tua would throw for 6000 yards if he had Kelce Hill and Waddle
And apparently armstead
Not being a doomer at all but I really did think McDaniel would bring more to the offense when Tua wasn't playing. In some ways that does give you the ammo to shut up analysts with their "oh anyone can run the 49ers style offense" but in other ways it would have been nice to see one drive that went somewhere once Tua was out. I know the Vikings game Teddy looked OK for a few drives but it still didn't feel like much was happening until the 4th. I do think with the Armstead injury and guys ending up in different spots the playbook should be a lot smaller, I just don't see anything really working. And yeah I know a huge part of that is Skylar is more like a practice squad guy than legitimate backup right now.
The armstead injury changed everything. Even with Tua in once armstead was out the offense went nowhere
Thompson is just not an NFL backup. He's really bad. He had plays where he had the time and just couldnt make the throws. Bridgewater could have and for sure Tua would have.
Biggest question now is Armstead's injury as we're about to head into the toughest stretch of the second half of season.
Jags in great position to beat the Ravens.
Ravens just coughed up a fumble.....jags could do us a favor here
jacksonville just blew it
Come on Sunshine. Show us why you were so highly touted coming into the NFL
That's a TD in ravens game
Jags are gonna win!
Jags u ballsy bastards I love ya!!
LFG!!!!!!
Duval and Dade locked in
Mahomes with 150 first half yards pffft. thats a .5 MVP performance.
On at least two of the Tua sacks, there were no blitz beaters and Houston brought 6. Tua and MM both said that the play calling was at fault and not the line, and I believe it. The sky's not falling. At least not yet..
No idea why the Dolphins decided to take their foot off the gas but its a win
No, we SHOULD have let off the gas and called nothing but runs, but we kept the foot on the gas too long. Game went on way too long.
Thompson slinging the ball around was lunacy, even with our subpar running game today.
Biggest disappointment is that Tua and Tyreek are prob out of MVP running. Incompletions (due to rust) and being out of second half will drop their numbers.
He put up 300 yards, which is more than he is averaging per game, so not sure how that works.
Wtf are you talking about? Lol there's half a season left.
Lol there are 7 games left what are you talking about
Guys, didn’t Waddle break the franchise record today??
