hopefully the Fins will have a new DC for this game but not likely

I think we bounce back at home. Hopefully Stills is back.

I think we bounce back at home. Hopefully Stills is back.

The good thing about Thursday games is that they now have a mini bye week. Hopefully can fix this shit and get healthier. Tanny may be ready too but I have no idea.

Well no luck Tank now out for the year it just doesn't end teams cursed...

Fins win toss and elect to receive

 

[Paolo305613]

Another empty opening drive for the Fins after it looked promising the first two plays - the Jets should be good for a few more sacks of the statue that is Brock out there today. Fins will have to run more to combat that.

 

[Paolo305613]

A good first stop for the Dolphins D. Now, if they can only do this consistently today.

 

[Paolo305613]

Gase decides to go for it on 4th and 1, but this time he actually calls a play that make sense in that situation and just runs it up the gut to get the first down as opposed to going for the unnecessary HR play

 

[Paolo305613]

So far, for now, the no-huddle offense is working for the Fins - lets see how they adjust when the Jets adjust to it themselves.

 

[Paolo305613]

On 3rd and 1 the Fins run it but get stuffed. This time Gase will punt on 4th and 3

 

[Paolo305613]

Another good 3 and out stop for the Fins D that should give the offense good field position. Nice job bringing the pressure - but for how long can they do it? Or is it just taking advantage of an inexperienced QB?

 

[Paolo305613]

Another punt coming for the Fins. Brocktober is a thing of the past.

 

[Paolo305613]

A much needed takeaway for the Fins after Alonso gets an interception on a throw that Darnold absolutely telegraphed -- then the Fins get a few extra yards on the late penalty.

 

[Paolo305613]

Ballage coming in in relief of Gore at RB as opposed to Drake on the final play of a scoreless 1st quarter

 

[Paolo305613]

The Fins bring back the wildcat with Ballage but is brought back with a holding penalty - about how you would expect that to go

 

[Paolo305613]

Fins get the first 3 points of the game with a Jason Sanders FG - the first of many for him, as I expect for most of our points to come by way of FGs

 

[Paolo305613]

Again, it helps that the opposing QB is a rookie in spite of all the intangibles the broadcasters are salivating over -- But, the Fins are doing a good job of not giving Darnold no clear windows to throw to - a good job of disguising their pressures while in zone.

 

[Paolo305613]

Another good defensive stop for the Fins D deep in Jets territory should help with field position

 

[Paolo305613]

Fins go for it on 4th and 3 -- call rub route pass that was executed perfectly -- terrible defense by the Jets and not being ready for it helped the cause - Brock sacked for a big loss on the next play
