Game Thread: Miami Dolphins - GB Packers Game Thread

This should be a down to the wire game - A game that lights up the scoreboard.

Hopefully the bye gives them time to put together a good game plan. If the D can hold them they should be able to win this one.

I NEVER agree with Prisco because he is a Fins hater - And im not saying I agree with him now just because he is supporting Tannehill in this piece - But, he does make a very valid state on our QB situation.

Tannehill should be our guy the rest of the season no matter what to see if he is the future... We know Matt Moore is not.

With the patsies falling apart last night, the bills changing QBs and the jets being the jets this division is wide open. They just need consistency...

 

[Paolo305613]

The Raiders blitzed Ryan Tannehill on half his dropbacks Sunday, and Tannehill responded by going 10-of-15 for 145 yards and a touchdown (93.6 Total QBR). Looks like the job is still his.

Per ESPN Stats and Info

Flyer, said the same thing to my buddy when discussing the Fins and our division. If we can just stay healthy and consistent, we take the division without a problem

 

[FlyerFinFan]

It won't be easy Paolo but I feel better about it after the patsies fell apart. They really haven't looked good at all. They beat a Peterson less vikes team who were shell shocked and barely beat the Raiders at home. Brady looks like he wants to retire.....

 

[Paolo305613]

Maybe the Fins defense can help Brady go into retirement a little early next time we play them

Agreed, the Fins' defense will need to play well for the team to beat the Packers. They are capable. The Fins are 6th in the league vs the pass and are solid vs the run at 13th in the league. Both of the games that the Packers lost their offense was held to under twenty points. On defense, the Packers are last in the league at stopping the run but they are 5th in the league at stopping the pass. My guess is they stack the box and try to make Tannehill beat them which could be a losing plan the way that Tannehill and the offense are playing right now.

Packers D isn't very stout the Fins just need to run consistently and they'll score a lot of points. The key will be the Fins pass rush need to get to Rogers....all day!

 

[FanofPelicans]

A win vs the Packers would bring national respect to the Fins. Right now the team is viewed as just one of the teams in the worst division in football. The Packers are viewed by many as a top 10 team. If the Fins want to show they are the real deal then this is the game to do it. I think a dominant D Line changes everything. The Fins have the type of D line that can make even Aaron Rodgers uncomfortable. Also, the Fins have some playmakers in the secondary. Winning the turnover battle is always important. It's even more important against a top team. Another factor that will be huge in this game is which team gets off to a better start. The Vikings made the Packers punt early on but gave the ball right back to them. If the Fins can score early than they can keep running the ball which is the weakness of the Packers. Also a good running game creates passing opportunities. The packers were blitzing with lots of defenders. If Wallace, Miller & others get the ball in the open field then that will put the Packers' back on their heels.

Buffalo v. Detroit, NYJ v. SD, Cincy v. N.E.

A very good chance that by virtue of having 1 less loss than our AFCE counterparts, we will be in first place after football sunday is over.

A couple things - speaks to how bad the division currently is - and how painful the unnecessary losses to Buffalo and KC were. We need to win our divisional games and our conference games to own as many of the more important tiebreakers as possible.

Fuckkkk the lions blew that game bad kicker and inconsistent carp makes a 58 yarder crazy....ah well hopefully the other two lose today. Especially nice if patsies lose...

 

[Paolo305613]

Typical Lions. I think they wouldve found a way to blow the game with or without CJ. At least the Jets got destroyed - Cheatriots are next

 

[FlyerFinFan]

It was very entertaining watching the jets implode. TD Bengals maybe they can make a game of this...

 

[Paolo305613]

You know the Cheatriots are up to something when a beyond classless organization like them does something as classy as honor Devon Still’s daughter... They wanted to create a distraction and it worked. The cheatriots will come down to earth again soon

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Bengals didn't come to play and the pats were pissed off for getting hammered the week before. They have added another TE that can catch teams will have to adjust as those throws are easy for brady. Fins will have to be better next time they play them....

Looks like Shelby is toast the new league policy is to suspend until proven innocent....although it sounds like he was acting like an idiot.
