Lions/Dolphins Rush Defense Wager thread

[Old Lion]

Miami plays 3 of the worst running teams in the league the last 3 weeks. Just as bad as the Giants. This could be close. Lions still have to face Forte. I bet it ends up less than 100 yards difference and maybe close to 50.

w 3 games to go:

2014 Lions run D led by Suh - gave up 8 TD's all year
2015 Lions run D w/o Suh - league worst 18 TD's so far

2014 Dolphins run D, gave up 13.
2015 Dolphins run D given up 9 so far.

Unless Miami gives up 10-15 scores in last 3 weeks, this bet is over.

Might as well drop this valuable info in here too.

From PFF aka The football bible for some posters:

– A lot was made of Ndamukong Suh’s (+6.2) absense late in the game, but once again he played the vast majority of the team’s snaps. On the field for 60 of the 67 snaps the Dolphins defense faced, he was incredibly active against the run. He made right guard John Jerry’s (-5.3) game an absolute nightmare, consistently standing him up at the point of attack and finishing the game with four tackles resulting in a defensive stop.

Top performers:

DT Ndamukong Suh (+6.2)
DE Derrick Shelby (+3.8)
DE Olivier Vernon (+2.6)
LB Koa Misi (+2.0)
CB Brice McCain (+1.7)

I love seeing Roberta grasping at straws. Also love seeing him run to PFF any time Suh makes a tackle to talk him up.
Fact is. Miami is worse across the board with Suh than last year without him. More rushing yards per game, more passing yards per game and more points per game.

As I said already. The only person that should be named all pro is Suh's agent for duping the Dolphins into making him the highest paid defensive player. His agent should get some MVP votes too

Danny Woodhead has a rushing TD. It shouldn't count against the Dolphins though. It was only a two yard carry.

Its the only thing that counts. Those other million yards rushing they gave up dont matter.

I get confused some times. You might be a cranky old man, but you got your wits about you.

The two teams are Detroit and Miami.

In case there are folks NOT scoring at home.

Alanis Morisette was keeping tabs on the scoring. not in Canada tho. she was the real Ms. Cleo as she predicted this back in Feb 1996

I can say the only reason Woodhead made another appearance in this thread had everything to do with that.

I'd been waiting for this matchup with bated (baited?) breath.

Most touchdowns for a Charger in a game, in 8 years. Er sum shit like that. 3 receiving though.

Suh hasn't mastered the art of coverage yet. In time...

One of those games I speak of when I say the stats are not the complete story. No need to run the ball when that secondary is terrible. Suh's elite pass rush is nt helping that back four. I'm seeing a CB possibly being first pick Myamah next spring. Unless Suh converts? Then they're set.

AJ is first Bama QB to win in NFL since I was a senior in HS. Holy shit, that's crazy... 1987 by the way.
