Dolphins kicking Niner ass.

This is going to be the Dolphins most complete win of the season -- AND in a VERY LONG TIME. They have to find a way to build on this.

How about the Dolphins? Look what happens when they play well in all 3 phases of the game! Go Fins!

 

[Paolo305613]

The key to this game was the fact that they set the tone on both sides of the ball early -- and they really didnt relent. This team decided to come out and set the tone -- and they got results. Thats how it needs to be done every week. Throw the first punch. Not literally, though.

Didn't hurt that the Niners are all banged up, Fins got them at the right time.

That was a factor, however, the Niners were dealing with injuries last week in the Eagles game. That game was a 5 point loss. The Fins beat them
by 26 points today.

They also had some guys come back today but I had a feeling that Jimmy would be a little sluggish which opened up the window. At the same time no one gives a shit when the Fins have injuries. Jones being out hurt them badly the last few weeks. They are trending up which is all that we want to see right now.

The oline even held up after Jackson was put on IR. Hunt did well at RT. Very promising to see this.

I agree, Hunt played well at RT. Having a starting LT out is a big loss yet the Fins were able to pass the ball well. Jesse Davis played well at LT.
When is the last time we have seen the Fins have quality depth on the oline? Grier and others deserve credit along with the coaches.

Fitzmagic played great. I have been thinking that the Fins should use one of the top picks on WR Chase if he is available, however, when Parker and Williams are both healthy they are hard to deal with.

The defense played their best game besides a few penalties on 3rd down. They were dominant.

Fins won the game fair and square. This is one of the games I predicted a loss for.
Reallity is the niners were beat 33 percent because they were banged up
and 67 percent because Miami outplayed them. Good win!
