Game Thread: Dolphins vs Giants

[FanofPelicans]

I am thinking the Fins bounce back and get a W. The Bills would have beat nearly every team in the NFL the way that they played.
The Fins are still a playoff team. It's better to learn from a loss in the regular season than the playoffs.

It's a 1 PM game in Miami Gardens. It's still humid here this time of year.

It's likely that the Fins will play better on both offense and defense. The Fins have lots of playmakers who are due to make plays.

Hoping that was the reality check that they needed and get back to business by beating the Giants.

Fangio is a very good DC. He has a lot of talent to work with on the roster. It's just a matter of time before the Fins become a complete team.

The offense should be ready to bounce back.
I have no doubts that we will see what this team is made of on Sunday.

Just a walk-through.....

Tua Turntheballova has arrived

Tua Turntheballova has arrived

You ignore the things that he does well and dwell in mistakes. Let me clue you in, Tua has been Tua terrific this year.

With a win today the Fins will be in first place again in the AFC East.

Tua Turntheballova does it again

Tua Turntheballova does it again

Name one QB that never throws an INT

You sound ridiculous. The Fins have scored more than 30 points in this game.

Just have to ignore Paolo. He is probably the least educated football fan I've seen on this site.

You got the win and 1st place.
Patriots are in a shambles.
Buffalo could not rush for 30 yards and slips to 2nd place.
Jets are the Jets but beat a team that should be last in NFL

Division is yours for the taking. I don't see Buffalo holding up and Jets hopes are a fantasy.
Tua is playing like a winner. Paolo is crying like a loser.....

 

[FanofPelicans]

It looks like the Fins have a legit chance at winning the division. That said, they need to keep winning and then even the series vs the Bills.

On a different note: I just watched interviews from Tua and McDaniel. Tua was classy as usual. He mentioned that he called his first play. It was the TD pass to Hill. It 1 one 1 coverage.
McDaniel was his typical likeable self with the media but what I saw today was his humility. He's always had it but the situation really showed it. He is not looking for credit. He just wants his team to win.

We may see a few more calls from Tua. He continues to develop as a team leader. McDaniel is a phenomenal play caller who values the opinion of Tua. These guys have winning chemistry.

Even with Tua not having one of his best days, they still had over 500 yards. A lot of that is the result of finally having a decent running game now with Achane.

 

[FanofPelicans]

Mostert has been very good too.

Achane has a knee issue that is getting evaluated. Hopefully he recovers well and soon. The team has depth at RB. We may see another RB more if Achane needs recovery time.

Why is Brooks not getting carries in the 4th quarter with the game in hand? Achane and Mostert don’t need to be in there.

I totally agree. Brooks runs hard and could move the chains in short yardage situations. I know Mostert has been very good but sharing carries could keep Mostert healthy for the playoffs later in the season.

Ahmed is more experienced and faster, therefore, he could be the one who gets more carries. He's good at catching the ball also.

 

[Southieinnc]

Achane is now out for "a couple weeks"

 

[FanofPelicans]

Thankfully the Fins have quality depth including Wilson Jr.
