Game Thread: Miami Dolphins @ NY Jets Game Thread

James Walker, Fins beat writer for ESPN posted some important tweets concerning the next two games so I figured we would start the recovery process from today as of now and look forward.

Via James Walker on twitter:
The #Dolphins (5-6) will travel to play the #Jets (5-6) and #Steelers (5-6) in back-to-back weeks. Those are essentially elimination games.#Ravens (5-6) will play the #Steelers (5-6) on Thanksgiving. So the #Dolphins will know where they stand before facing the #Jets on Sunday.

Daniel Thomas was seen leaving the stadium in a walking boot and crutches - Fins may be forced to show a little more patience and faith on Miller - If he is out long term, maybe we can see what Gillislee can do - unless the fins decide to fill the spot with another position, which they very well could

 

[Paolo305613]

Daniel Thomas done for the year with an ankle injury. Like I said yesterday, this should mean more Lamar Miller - hopefully the team uses him better and shows more faith in him until they do so. This will also probably mean Gillislee might see some PT, though the fins do have Thigpen who can run it as well as Clay when not at TE/H-Back

Week 13 games with #Jets (5-6)/#Dolphins (5-6) and #Ravens (5-6)/#Steelers (5-6) is a mini-tournament. Losers essentially out playoff race.

a game between the phins and jets is impossible to predict. both teams are incredibly jekyll and hyde.

 

[Paolo305613]

#Dolphins final injury report: CB Dimitri Patterson (groin), CB Jamar Taylor (hamstring) and RB Daniel Thomas (ankle) are ruled OUT. #Dolphins starting safety Chris Clemons (knee, hamstring) is QUESTIONABLE for Sunday. C Mike Pouncey not listed so he's ready to go.Cromartie, Holmes, Kerley and Allen all listed as questionable for the #Jets.

 

[Paolo305613]

Fins agree to pay Incognito 4 game checks in exchange for suspending him the remaining games… Dumb moves on the Fins part again to do something that favors Incognito by paying him - They are once again suggesting that what he did is okay. They should have been done with him already. They are, of course, doing this to avoid any more financial troubles involving RI

 

[Paolo305613]

If the Fins win tomorrow that is more reason to celebrate - What a great night tonight watching Nick Saitan’s overrated Criminal Tide lose in epic fashion - If we can beat the Jets the same way - Then nothing else will ever matter.

No matter what has happened in the past this is now the most important game of the year. Win this and they will be in good shape. They should already know the jets game plan so that's an edge. Just keep it simple and let the jets blow it...

 

[Paolo305613]

It will be interesting to see if the Fins D tries to force mistakes by Geno or if we wait for it to happen on their own… I rather see the fins initiate the pressure from the start of the game.

Be aggressive on both sides of the ball from start to finish - That is the only way to win this game.

I know some will say we dont have the weapons for it - But, anything less than a blow out against these bitches is unacceptable

 

[FlyerFinFan]

I agree that they need to be aggressive on D especially when run stopping as that's all these guys are going to do. But on offense they have to be somewhat careful with the ball otherwise you give them turnovers which is probably their only chance to win. Miller needs to get his carries and then take your shots deep throughout the game to keep them honest. Just tell Tanny to never under throw it and everything will work out well...he'll probably hit Wallace in stride a few times too!

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Here we go again refs with a phantom call which results in a loss of sure points. Refs -3 already....

 

[FlyerFinFan]

That's the Gina we know and already love. Now if the refs will let them play football the offense is doing enough to win this one.

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Tanny under threw Harts or it was a TD. I can live with the call as it was there but a hand off to Egnew or Clay may have been safer...

 

[Paolo305613]

Gutsy to go for it on 4th down by Philbin, but dumb to pass in that situation especially to Hartline. You have Clay playing well or Wallace that can do damage by the love affair with Hartline continues.

It seems like the defense will have to win this game as the offensive play calling seems determined to lose this one

 

[Paolo305613]

The running game will be good and will stay good if the Fins just stop calling these delayed runs - they havent worked all season long - it just puts us in worst positions.

Tannehill throws the dumbest pass he will ever throw in his career… That shouldve been a run and take the FG… I will say it again - Offensive play calling is determined to blow this game.

 

[Paolo305613]

The part that sucks is, the defense is not playing with the intensity necessary and that it can to cause Geno trouble - they have made him look way too good so far.

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Yep agreed need to stick to regular runs and give Miller the option to go inside or off tackle.

 

[Paolo305613]

Fins have never executed the screen pass as good as they did their. will it happen again?

 

[Paolo305613]

Yep agreed need to stick to regular runs and give Miller the option to go inside or off tackle.

Not a fan of Lamar running inside - Not his strength.
