Well, at least the Fins don't have to go against the refs in this game.

They'll regroup but if they don't learn how to run the ball again it won't matter. Bungals are playing decent ball and they're on the road. Hopefully some players come back like Jones will need everyone. The ref's don't like the bungals so you are correct it should be fair...

Jordan Philips CUT. I'd didn't think he was going to be resigned anyways.

Yeah didn't sound like it seems like effort wasn't always there so the cut was mutual. Maybe they bring back Langford?

Loser,,,,,,

 

[Paolo305613]

DeVante Parker and Andre Branch are INACTIVE.

No sense in listing my keys to the game with regards to what the game plan should be considering how quickly Gase gets away from it even in the games prior to last weeks gift to the Cheatriots from the refs and the NFL.

So, my hope for today is, for whatever game plan AG has set out -- that he stick to it for as long as possible and let it play out. It seems they are going to reemphasize the run game according to all the pre-game chatter -- but with AG you just never know.

The first drives on both sides of the ball will be telling on what the approach will be. And what the first two drives on both sides of the ball should show is what/if any adjustments have been made this week.

Short week coming up - so this needs to be an injury/drama free game for the Fins.

 

[Paolo305613]

Fins win toss and actually elect to receive.

Holding penalty already. Jakeem Grant already down.

 

[Paolo305613]

Quick releases from Tannehill thus far - working the sidelines. Good to see no passes behind the line of scrimmage or no wasted throws down field -- early on at least

 

[Paolo305613]

Didn't set his feet well enough on that play action pass - should've been a roughing the passer

 

[Paolo305613]

Good ol Adam Gase saved the behind the line of scrimmage pass play for a third down situation of course - drive ends in punt.

 

[Paolo305613]

Fins doing ok against the run - but absolute shit vs the Pass.

Bring the pressure on the screen pass but obviously that lack of discipline I always speak of an issue -- the Fins have no idea what to do if the rush doesn't work. They miss tackles and they pile up in a hurry.

 

[Paolo305613]

And a much needed INT in the redzone tipped by Reshad Jones and caught by Kiko Alonso.

A much needed stop there.

 

[Paolo305613]

Miracles happen - The Fins throw to a TE

 

[Paolo305613]

Grant returns after getting hurt on the kickoff return

 

[Paolo305613]

And things fall apart again on third down. Fins really need to do a better job at play calling as well as executing on third down on both sides of the ball.

 

[Paolo305613]

The play, as expected, stands - that was a stupid challenge.

 

[Paolo305613]

If only the Fins defense can make the Bengals run the ball the whole game -- they may have a chance.

 

[Paolo305613]

Fins get the stop. Lets see if they can avoid dumb penalties now

 

[Paolo305613]

Gore with a slight limp after that run - Gotta feature Drake now some more. Love me some Gore -- FROM DA U! but regardless of how durable he has been - you just can't wear that guy out early - even less so when you have other options you can go to in the running game. Hopefully he will be fine.
