Seattle you stupid fux
Leading 30-23 they go for it on 4-1 from the SF 4 with 6 minutes left, get the 1st down, then fumble it at the 2 on 3rd down
Go up 2 scores you dumbasses
Can’t believe Ravens went for the 2 pt instead PAT and OT.
I know, right. Stupid!
Agreed and the 49ers just lost so now we’ll be able to draft a better player. 😉
They had that two point conversion- Jackson overthrew Andrews
Damn frail TE
49er’s lose!!!!!!!!
Jameson Williams!
They are at Bengals next week.
Gotta root for 49ers….
What a dilemma
Nice win Seattle ! Thank you!
I missed part of the game doing a bond in the next county over, Santa Rosa. I was bonding this guy out. He’s not bad. He’s going to Nashville this weekend for some studio time with a record label.
D, he is a regular at the Flora-Bama
Yeah I have heard of him. What did he do? Oh and I keep seeing these dam ID TV episodes in Pcola or right around there. Probably coincidence but there were thine 3 of them that fell in the same week.
HEY “D” – – – SAW your comments on the previous page regarding Lane Kiffin. Kiffin completely turned around Florida Atlantic’s fortunes when he came to FAU after leaving his position as OC for Saban at Alabama. In two of his three seasons at FAU, they ended the season ranked 23rd one year and 28th another year. Both seasons ended in Conference USA as league champions, followed by lopsided bowl victories. His offensive skills and game plans were UNBELIEVABLE!!! since he left, FAU has returned to mediocrity. I’d hire him in a New York minute. But, after Kiffin produced a #9 ranking at Ole Miss this season he was rewarded with a multi-year $7.5 million salary, so you can bet your last dollar he’s NOT interested in coming to the Dolphins and working for a total jerk like Little Stevie Blunder. In fact, I’d be surprised in Kiffin EVER seriously considers jumping back into the NFL again.
———————————-
I was reasonably satisfied with the Dolphins’ performance today against the out manned Giants.
Key clutch receptions by Isaiah Ford, Mike Gesiki and Davante Parker helped to carry Miami to a point spread beating victory. We’ll have a week off to get ready for the Jets who, like the Giants, have serious issues this season. A convincing victory over the Jets would help build momentum for the final three games against the Saints, Titans and Patriots. A playoff spot once thought IMPOSSIBLE is now just a long shot. But I DO BELIEVE that 10-7 will likely produce a playoff spot.
——————————–
Y’all have a great evening. This OLD DOLFAN is OUT!!
Ravens going for two and putting the outcome on a single play instead of taking it into OT…
Carroll going for it when a fg puts them up two scores and under two minutes. I don’t even care they picked it up, Why the heck are you more concerned with scoring the TD instead of just going up two scores with that clock?
Dolphins win wasn’t pretty, but we got another very efficient game from Tua (even with a few drops), were again able to run just enough in the 4th quarter to eat up clock, and continued to play very good defense. Even when they went up first, for me it just felt like it was a matter of time before we put it away.
Waddle is starting to become consistently unguardable one-on-one, and if he stays healthy will certainly break the rookie receptions record.
Getting Parker back today was a real difference maker.
Now I’m REALLY OUT!!
I don’t get it when people say this win wasn’t pretty. I thought it was a solid win. We did what we had to do, I think we had the lead almost the whole 2nd half and we took care of business. We won by 11, that’s fine as far as I’m concerned. Why sully the win?
I felt like we were in control of the game the entire game
It means we had some fundamental mistakes to clean up, we weren’t firing on all cylinders, and the game was closer than it would have been if we had hit on some of those plays that were there to be made. We had drops, a couple of key drive killers, a big missed fg that gave the Giants life longer than the otherwise would have had, etc.
^
We didn’t win by 47
And it doesn’t sully the win at all to say that just because I’m not slobbering all over.
But you are gorilla you are supposed to slobber
We took care of business today, so great win, Phins!!! It wasn’t flashy and filled with highlights galore, but the “W” is all that matters at the end of the day.
Jaelan Phillips has ARRIVED!!!
Kong, we’re not an NFL power team, we’re just finding our footing. I didn’t expect to thrash the Giants. Like Pig said I feel like we had a handle on this one just about the whe game. It was a good win. We didn’t win sloppy or back into this win or just hold on by the skin of our teeth.
Just about the whole game
I also said I felt like it was our game the whole time. Why the heck do things always have to be so binary? Are we not capable of nuance?
Can’t I enjoy the win and still have the capacity to evaluate what we did well and what we need to improve on? Or give a general observation of the game with a simple cliche to sum up what I thought of it as a whole?
I didn’t say we backed into the win, or won sloppy. I said it wasn’t pretty, and that is because our offense wasn’t pretty. It’s still a work in progress. The way our defense played, we easily could have put this game away in the 3rd quarter, and would have if we didn’t have some key drops, then our kicker missed another fg.
Pig,
I’m RIGHT THERE with ya regarding DeVante. When he’s on the field, he’s a STUD! But when he’s licking his wounds and out for so often, he’s a PUD. If so wish he could stay healthy.
I’m with each and every one of you who says Gaskin is NOT a featured back, rather a weapon best used as a change-of-pace back. Just don’t get it twisted: he’s one helleva RB in the right sits!
Get the O-Line fixed (via FA as needed, as most of us agree) and we’ve got to find a STUD RB next year to hammer opposing Defenses into submission. That is going to help Tua become even better, and allow him more time in the pocket to throw deep more often.
Jalen Waddle set the Dolphins rookie record for receptions in 12 games at 86 (so far). He only needs 34 more receiving yards to break Chris Chambers rookie record.
He needs 15 more receptions to break Anquan Boldin’s rookie record of 101.
It’s his record if he stays healthy, no question.
Per Dolphinswire, Phillips broke the franchise record for sacks (8) that was set by Bill Stanfill back in 1969.
I think they mean rookie record.
Also, I didn’t think they started counting sacks until years later.
You are likely right on the rookie part ..
As for counting sacks, I read this week about someone played YEARS ago, possibly the guy that just died, they said he was retroactively credited with X # of sacks .. so I think they are going back over old info and starting to add up sacks from before they were an official stat … or I’m out to lunch 😵💫
Kong – I don’t mean to nitpick your words. I felt pretty good about the win because I don’t really think we’re that great. We are winning despite the fact that O-line isn’t capable of opening holes in the run game or allowing enough time for a real passing offense so we are basically running a similar offense to what we ran with Adam Gase. We basically have an aerial run game. I guess my expectations are different than yours. Our defense is way ahead of our offense and will be until we fix the O-line
Its not the ol. Its the scheme we play.
Cool, bro. I don’t think our expectations are that different. I didn’t expect to win with a dominating defense and a smooth, high-powered offense. I figured we’d win with a dominating defense and an offense that does just enough. But I’m still going to call it the same thing, regardless of expectations.
I’m happy with the win, Tua’s continued growth, the streak, and that we have playoff hopes for at least another two weeks. But we all know we aren’t going anywhere with this oline.
The ol doesnt know if its a run or pass. They have to play the same every down. They cant engage more than 1 yard off the los or its a penalty. Its not like they are teeing off on run plays. The rpo makes them passive. And thats why we suck at running
We’re not the only RPO team. I cheer anything beyond the LOS in the run game. You can’t run an offense when you can’t block every other play. Our OL is the weak link of this team.
Rob – yeah, I know what you think, you may have mentioned a few thousand times. Got it. If only Tua could throw further than 5-10 yards.
Just replying to your comment about how the ol sucks ive heard that a few thousand times as well
Someone posted a stat thar we only do RPO 25 % of the time. What’s the excuse for 75 % of the time? Lmao…
I don’t know if the numbers support it, but it felt to me like our oline was pretty decent in pass pro today.
We’re only one game out in the win column. I sure hope we can make a run
Waddle should be able to break the Dolphins record and the rookie record this year especially since there’s an extra game this season
Only 2 penalties for 15 yds.
41 drop backs and only 2 sacks.
We were 2 for 2 in the redzone.
Led TOP with 30:40
Tua had a passer rating over 104 for the 4th straight game.
6 of 15 on 3rd down
That may have moved him up in passer rating
Might move up a spot or two. He should be around 95.4 on the season now
Rob, because the O-line sucks. Did you read the post either yesterday or today where we only run the RPO less than 15% of the time? It’s way beyond confusion of assignments, it’s just not good. Part of it is we haven’t had the same center more than 2 weeks in a row, and our LG is a LT and our LT wants to be a RT and our RT probably wouldn’t be starting on any other NFL team.
This IS — in fact — one of the very worst O-Lines our Miami Dolphins have ever fielded… and that’s truly saying something.
And when ya see the All-22 film, it all comes out: it’s absolutely horrific.
I can’t believe I don’t know this, but did Deiter start and play today?
And after all that we’re still winning. Not sure where you get your numbers but when we run the ball its mostly from an rpo. I rarely see tua in a pro set and run the ball. I would think 90 percent of our run plays are rpo
I think you’re mistaking the shotgun from an RPO. So many teams use that set, it’s 2021. I think of the run pass option as when the QB rolls to a side with either a RB or WR and he either keeps the ball or shovels it to the trailing player, like Cam Newton ran against us opening day 2020.
What ever you want to call it. Its a delay. The qb is not under center. And its almost like a draw play.
The ol can not engage lineman more than 1 yard off the los.
They have to wait. And ive read numerous reports that say the lineman dont know if they are running or passing. Thereforr they have to play every down with the same strategy
RPO can be confusing… I know it was for me at first.
College “RPO” is akin to the QB running with the ball and maybe (or maybe not) he puts the ball in the hands of his RB.
NFL “RPO” isn’t that at all. It’s more a matter of the QB identifying what the Defense is going to do pre-snap (coverage), then reacting to it in real-time… and it’s a passing play like 80% of the time. It’s more of a ‘read-and react’ to the Defense kind of Offensive philosophy, not so much of this college running game style of said ‘RPO’.
The difference from college and pros are. College the ol can engage 3 yards past the los. Pros only 1 yard. It makes a huge difference
That IS one difference, you’re absolutely correct. But the very nomenclature of the ‘RPO’ from college to pros is a misnomer.
Kong – yes, Deiter started a d played most of if not the whole game
Cheers. Good to have him back. Hopefully we can see the difference. He’ll have the bye week to get back into the groove too.
Its very complicated. I dont put all the blame on lack of personel. Tua is chewing up these short passes and drawing the d in. That has to be taken into consideration. As for our center All teams have injuries. Next man up
Kong, we won’t be giving up a lot of sacks, I feel like the ball is coming out so quick it would be nearly impossible to get sacked. We’ve become very good at throwing quick, basically out of necessity. To me, that doesn’t reflect on O-line success, quite the opposite.
+10000000000000000000000000
If it weren’t for Tua being ‘Quick Draw McGraw”, the O-Line would show itself to be even worse than many think.
I hear ya. Our offense is completely geared to shore up that weakness. I felt Tua was under less pressure today, but that might be more an effect of the offense being run more efficiently than it is the oline performing better.
Rob – tell me which NFL teams run their offense with the QB under center? I’ll wait . . .
A long list. But most of the leading teams do it more often than not such as the pats and the titans
I skip back and forth all Sunday and I can’t recall seeing a team not being in shotgun formation. Occasionally, teamsine up under center and even throw a FB out there but that is the exception, not the rule.
The last 3 games will be very telling as to how good this team is
To have a good offense you have to incorporate a pro set. Thats not to say you wont get in the gun.
We are always in the shotgun.
Rob, you watching tonight’s game. You won’t see either team in a pro set.
And what do they have in common? They both suck?
If you are in a pro set. Your rb gets the ball quickly allowing your ol to fire off the los.
Then theres play action. Especilly if youre having success running
And thats not to say you cant use the shotgun but mix it up.
I think we lack the personel and thats why we are in the gun most of the time.
We are a passive team. Not a team that imposes there will on you
Early on I really was think we made a huge mistake not taking Harris over Phillips and I’m done ways I wonder if we still might be overall better off having taken Harris but Phillips has undoubtedly come by around. The impact a dominant DE/OLB can be is huge and it’s much harder to find a good one. I’m still a little on the fence as to what would have helped us most but I’m much happier with that pick these days
^
The Chiefs had the best offense the last few years, but yeah, they suck. Now you’re just getting ridiculous.
Whats there record?
I wish KC would just go up 2 scores already.
👍
And i always thought andy reid was a pro set guy
OD, I also mentioned Kiffin because he was OC when Tua first got to UA I think and probably knows the best system to design around him. So far he has been tearing it up at most of his college stops. I am not a fan of him personally but he crafts a good offensive scheme. Oh and his dad created Tampa 2 Defense, so seems to be a solid amount of football knowledge in his heritage.
Bridgewater out of the pro set
Williams looks great
He really does.

I think they started counting sacks as a stat right around that time.aybe a couple years earlier.
All 53 had to do was stand there and it would have been enough, smh. Still…got the INT, get another TD here and finish this game, KC.
Did a quick search of future 2022 FA RBs. We did well to get in on Phillip Lindsay before anyone else had: age vs production. Not (currently) a whole lot of good RBs scheduled to become FAs after this season. We get to see what Lindsay can do for us before he hits FA at the end of the season.
And on top of that, the current crop of 2022 Draft RBs leaves a lot to be desired.
We’ve got to address our O-Line woes with one or two players… then MAYBE we can be like the Denver Broncos of the late 90s to early 00s [Gary Kubiak and Alex Gibbs (RIP, Coach Gibbs)], and just plug-and-play RBs behind them… without having to spend early-round picks on RBs.
It’s ALL about the O-Line, y’all!
You guys gotta quit banging your head against the wall
Why dont you bring something to the table instead of your usual stupidity?
Ok Mr. Victim. How about you first
My post had nothing to do with you.
my bad, i just thought it did due to the other 20 unprovoked shots shots you’ve taken at me.
“Mr Victim” is propaganda; def, someone who lies about another when in fact what their saying is the truth about themselves.
how am i the “mr victim” when you bash me for a football post?
aren’t you the one playing that role?
propaganda is a common leftwing trait
RPO is not the problem. Our OL (5 guys) are not very good. How many more times do you need to see them standing around as 2-3 defenders are all over the ball carrier? Tua is playing on a high level behind that.
^
We need denver to lose this game anyway
Kong, data people went back and credited Bill Stanfill with would be sacks. They credit him with 8.0 as a rookie in 1969 and tied with JT for the franchise lead in a season with 18.5 in 1973.
I really appreciate that info, Tim. Do you want me to tell D? 🤣🤣
No… wait until he’s sleeping and tickle his ear. LOL
LOL
Make sure you keep it to the ear……
LOL @ D
🤣
He’s just getting started.
https://www.espn.co.uk/video/clip?id=32797047
KC just finished it off
Ha! Announcer was just saying Miami is back in it.
Just keep winning!
Ravens not beating the Steelers has still got me pissed off. LOL
Sorry but Najee Harris does not look special to me. He basically gets all the touches at RB for PIT and modest numbers. I’ll take the pass rusher.
Clemson HC Dabo Swinney was a special guest of owner Mark Davis at the Raiders game today.
Hmmmmm????
Maybe he was asking Davis about his barber. LOL
lol
The lack of running game here, we could use him. I think you are not giving him enough credit in my opinion but like I said as for value of a pass rusher over a running back, you should re-read what I said because we are in agreement there. At first though, Phillips wasn’t special Aland even now he was s coming along and not at an elite status.
My comment was more to the fact we could really use a running back like Harris, who doesn’t drop on initial contact. I was also giving credit to Phillips for the effort in improving himself. He is changing my mind.
I am just pissed they didn’t take Jonathan Taylor instead of Iggy like I had in my final mock that year. lol
We have to win out to think we make the playoffs. We are on a nice run, like y’all said just keep winning which should be the focus every week so no need to complicate it
Off topic, whenever I go back to Hawaii, the big island has to be on my list. Probably do a 2 island trip again.
In Hilo, on the big island, it is supposed to be around 80 degrees all week but up in the mountains there is a blizzard warning and for a very large area.
Haven’t heard any reports but was supposed to get a foot of snow and 100 mph winds today.
I heard that too. Wild!
Of course 5 in a row is now interrupted with the bye week. They gotta maintain the momentum some how.
Maybe we could use the bye week.
Joe Brady cut as Carolina’s OC. I’d be in on him, but if I were Cincy I’d be going after him.

@schadjoe
Dolphins 88 percent to make playoffs with win out via NY Times projection. With even one loss best odds 17 percent
Yeah, have to win out. There are still 8 teams in the WC case for 3 spots with a better record. Though, we are right on that ass. Many head to head games for those teams as well.
One game at a time….
I think 13 games in a row, players getting back from injury, a respite of sorts, final quarter of season, bye is well-timed/needed.
Jets after the bye should be OK to ramp up for last quarter of season of football before playoffs, imo.
Lol…but, really not funny, did Parker get hurt already?
The final three games will be telling, if we win out we belong, if we don’t ….where’s Watson?
Lol…to run the RPO that that’s not a big part of our offense!
Good game, not great!! However I’ll take the W anytime!! I’m glad we have the bye…. finally. ….. I think this is the longest stretch ever for teams to go this far without a bye. I think everyone/coaches need the physical and a mental break… and I’ll take a Sunday with no worries lol! message to players. Use Uber or the nfl’s get a ride if partying in South Beach or wherever… enjoy
only 4 teams in NFL history have started 1-7 and got to 6-7
I’m kind of surprised it’s that many. Big question how many made it to the Super bowl
I’m a tua supporter, however yesterday’s game made tua’s arm look weak. His recognition is off the charts and with accuracy I’ll take it. As mentioned over and over….. Definitely need better OL play
Just curious what made his arm look weak?
Just my eye test, I felt a couple of the back shoulder throws necessarily weren’t meant to be. Although it worked
Not sure if anyone mentioned it. We have the most dropped passes in the league. Most of them have to be Wilson, although I think he’s playing better as of late … just go up the field Wilson
Orob is onto something about the RPO confusing our OL. They are also hyper about getting illegal man downfield penalties.
However, their inadequate push in part caused us to over rely on RPO, so it’s the chicken came first or the egg stuff.
Compounding that is 3 OCs (and 3 O systems) in 3 years.
Compounding that is a very very young OL.
Soooo, that is where good strong decisive coaching should step in.
Uh oh. N/m. We don’t even own an OC. That office is empty, and the HC is a very young former defensive assistant, not ever even having been a titled DC.
All in all, it’s amazing how good we are. We beat the patsies and the crows in the same season they are tied for the AFC top seed.
Except we run RPO less than 25 % of time s not sure what Orob is on….lol
the question should be, what percentage do we run the RPO when we are actually running the ball?
i guarantee it isn’t 25%
No, that’s not the question nor is it relevant to the failure of OL….lol.
you seem absolute, did you assess that from your TV?
I go by what i hear the people say that have access to the team, maybe you should take it up with them.
Well, judging OL failures on only 25% of the offense seems absolutely stupid to me. Guilty of that for sure.
Judging the success of my business on 25% of total revenue is stupid, imo.
I loved this at the game yesterday.
That’s another Miami Dolphins First Down! TUA!
They were doing that at the fest. You would of known that if you would of used Orobs ticket lol
Lmao
Btw
I’m not sure we wanted Ravens to win, as they face a really hard remaining schedule, and we own the tie breaker with them, which we can’t get at very easily with Cincy.
I think that call by Harbaugh was dumb ass arrogant….I think it comes back to bite him…lol.
Looks like Tua has been doing pretty well since he came back from the ribs & finger. Passer ratings for 104, 108.7, 108.3, 104.1 in 4 straight wins.
So, are we hoping for a NE win tonight? I think we have a better shot against them than Buff.
So wouldn’t we want Buffalo to win the division and NE fall to us for last game?
I think we have to since they have more wins than Bills. Also, after this game, Bills are at Tampa then back on the road to NE again. Only thing that sucks is the Bills finish up their last 2 games at home against the Falcons and the Jets.
Bills beat us twice, so not sure how that works
D, what do you think about Jim Chaney as an OC. He was Drew Brees OC at Purdue. He was also OC at UGA from 2016-2018. Only NFL coaching was with Rams as a position coach from 06-08 and now this year he is an Offensive Analyst for the Saints. I think he is almost 60 so I don’t know how much coaching he has left in him, though.
He is an offensive master mind. He was a spread offense guru then got into a more prostyle offense and combined the two.
He also has very close ties with Kiffin.
I had a great time at the game yesterday. We were row 6 section 119 right behind the buffalo bench. (In the sun all afternoon unfortunately, NO shade, man it was brutal) We got two field passes that we traded off using which was really cool. I went down and watched the cheerleaders from 5′ away.
I was a lot of fun but I wound up not watching most of the game between getting drinks, going to the club, going down to the field, etc.
Gotta say there were WAY WAY too many Giants fans in the stands. Me and my little group were in a sea of blue. They didn’t seem to like me much. LOL “Why don’t you shut the fuck up!?” “BECAUSE THIS IS MY FUCKING STADIUM!!” GO BACK TO JERSEY!”
I had two 250lb + guys in my group who were egging me on. “Get after them! We got your back” LOL
I am still hung over this morning and I stopped drinking at 4. LOL
Fun!!!
Rockphin rocking out
you can see some DL not engaging the OL on certain plays, that’s how you defend the RPO in the pros. they wait until the play develops then attack. you also have the pre determined rushers attacking right away.
Tough call Krishna. Pats final 5 games are Bills, Colts, Bills, Jags, Dolphins.
If the Bills sweep the Pats but Pats beat Colts and Jags, they will be 10-6 heading into Miami. If we win out, we would be 10-7 with the pats but would have the tie breaker over them.
It’s a tall order to have the Pats lose 3 out of the last 5 games all being division games with the way their defense is playing.
I guess with Bills having 2 games over us, it would be best to have them win the division. We would just need them to sweep the Pats and that would put us on the path to finish second in the division.
Tall order.
Lol….so 1-7 and trying to make playoffs!

Someone posted a stat thar we only do RPO 25 % of the time. What’s the excuse for 75 % of the time? Lmao…
Reply
Actually it is only 17.8% of the time. It is NOT our base offense.
82.2% of our play is out of other schemes.
Now to be fair to all, we do run the RPO as much or more than any other team this season. (Philly and KC have run it more than 20% of the time in certain years since ’17 but not this season.)
Lol…OK less than 20%. Let’s judge the 80%, by something we do less than 80% of time…makes perfect sense now!
I read 18% but that might be rounding it up
There’s like half a dozen teams that do it more than us
The Steelers, with big immobile rothlisberger run or more than we do…
how much do we “RUN” out of the RPO vs a pro set?
after all isn’t the lack of our running ability the subject and concern.
if we run 17% RPO and we pass 83% is 17% an accurate summation as to why we suck at running or a well placed cloud?
Hellooooo!
almost every running play i see is from the shotgun/RPO. only time we are in a pro set is on 3rd or 4th trying to pick up the short yardage 1st.
you need a very athletic QB to run the RPO in the pros, (see jalen hurts) we don’t have that, there has to be another running threat.
That’s might be a reason why we don’t run it a lot, but that’s how to judge 83% of Oline failure.
And we don’t pass 83% of time…..oh my.
He said IF, trying to prove a point
Arguing facts to fit a narrative and not even the correct facts….lmao.
Oh forgot….alternative facts. Lol!
Rock – I have a friend that was there with a group of Giant fans, maybe 8 or so that traveled from NJ. They sat very close, in those cushioned seats, maybe 2nd and 3rd row
Then they were sitting on the home side directly across from me. Those crazy ass recliners with their personal TV’s and Personal refrigerators are where OD USED to sit before Ross fucked him and took his seats away to put in those seats which sit empty more often than not.
I read that yesterday’s win over the Giants was only our second win against them in the last 48 years. I’ll take it.
We don’t play them very often
Not sure either on which one to root against
No ties
I think the odds of us winning the division with 10 wins is quite slim. If we’re getting in as a Wild Card, we want BUF to win because in a tie in record with NE, we would own the tie breaker beating them twice.
Yep
Basically we want Buffalo to sweep the Patriots
Then if we win out, and they win their other games
The last game of the season will determine who goes 10-7 and who goes 9-8
If on the other hand Patriots sweep the Bills, then you still need the Bills to lose 2 more times bc they already swept us and I’m pretty sure they get the tie breaker
If you end up in a scenario where they split, you are pretty much rotting for the colts to beat the Patriots when they play so that our final game might lead to the same record of we win
I think the choice is easy tonight
Root for Buffalo
I don’t think it’s close
A patriot win is pretty much one of the worst things that can happen to our playoff chances
You guys are right. We should hope that Buff wins the division. We have a better chance to squeeze out NE with the two wins against them. (if we win out) Losses against Buff and Us will open the field for other teams to jump them in the Wild Card race.
Go Bu….Go Buff………Errraaayak! Never mind.
You don’t have to say it, just root for the bills in spite of the Nausea
But it’s not even close
And in the really big picture beyond 2022
I want to know the Patriots aren’t on track to rebuild back to the same Patriots team they were for the last 20 years
It should get even better
Easy to root for the Bills over the Pats regardless of its impact on our team. Fucking hate the Pats
I hope Parker can stay healthy and play like he did yesterday for remainder of season. If he does he just may change my opinion about keeping him. More importantly change the team’s opinion
I think he is our best OL
he’s a solid guy. I don’t see him getting beat that often and he is a road grader if they allow him to run block.
Well goody! He should as he is the top paid guy this season!
I call BS to those stats, at least some of them
Or the fake newsman used the loophole of teams on their bye to benefit his POV🤪
Tied for 5th in passing yards was the one that stood out
Tua is actually 7th, but 3 others had more avg yards per game, that didn’t play 3 games
In doing the research, I found that Tua is pretty consistant, unlike the erratic play by most other QBs, and some low yards, because of game situations
In conclusion we shouldn’t be bitching at Tuas passing yards
We statistically have the worst o-line and the most drops in the NFL, so it’s clearly the QB’s fault anytime the offense can’t do anything.
Wow! And I thought you were a schmuck. What was I thinking
LOL There’s the Steve we all know.
Said the guy with the sarcastic back stabbing post🤔
Great win yesterday. I wish we could run the ball better. That’s our main problem right now IMO. The oline can’t open running lanes.
I don’t think our running woes have anything to do with the RPO scheme. It is just lack of talent at OL and RB. Other teams run just fine out of the RPO. Also we only use RPO less than 20% of the time.
I agree ^
Lol Ken
We don’t have the talent to run the RPO was the argument why we shouldn’t be using it
I am torn about the biweek. We are on a good run and hate to break momentum but if we can get Lindsay and maybe even Fuller back that might be a really good thing at this point of the season
Think even the anal-ists are saying the same, but think it’s going to benefit us more than hinder
See my post above on Tua’s stats the last 3 games
Tua’s consistency will alleviate that great game/bad game issue other QBs have
Typically that consistency is something you’d get with a game manager, but I’m not calling a QB behind that OL with his stats a game manager. Magician maybe?
Magician we can agree on
You can see why they use RPO because it really does set up some nice passing lanes for the quick slants and rub routes we like to run. Defense has to stay in to respect the run. Even if we are not all that successful in running it just the fact that we run it enough creates those opportunities
So you think he’s an inconsistent game manager
I think he is a QB and we more pieces
Good QB and need more pieces ^
That was supposed to be in reply to your post above
That’s an interesting thought on the RPO benefitting the passing game and not so much the running game
Guess, if you can’t run the ball using the RPO to help the passing game works, even at the expense of what we may be able to get from a non RPO running game
Everyone keeps saying rpo the way I’ve seen it. More PRO. I believe we pass out more often then running it
Agree
I think there are some who confuse running out of shotgun or playaction out of shotgun as RPO plays. While they may appear similar they are not the same. We run a lot of shotgun with a single back. We also run play action out of the shotgun which sometimes looks like an RPO because of the “run action” but it’s not. It is a straight up pass play or straight up draw play if it is a run.
This is how I see it as well, that is why our % of RPO is technically under 18% IMO.
3rd qtr, almost every play was RPO/
You are confusing running out of the shot gun and RPO. They are not the same thing
in the shotgun when he sticks the ball in the RB, he either pulls it and passes or hands it off, Hence RPO. he does that most of the time.
Not sure how you can clarify it otherwise.
that is just Play action NOT RPO
What you are watching there is play action vs RPO. RPO depends upon reading the DE and opting to run, hand off or pass as opposed to a designed play action or run out of the shot gun. If you watch most of the plays there is no reading of the DE they are designed plays
First play of video. Draw Play from shot gun, NOT RPO. Second play in video play action out of shot gun. NOT RPO third play standard shotgun pass
1st play of second series, PLAY ACTION out of shotgun, NOT RPO
Some just don’t know what they are watching…..
OK so can you show me what an RPO looks like? evidently if you don’t call that an RPO then ne never does RPO’s
RPO definition, (run pass option).
**We run a lot OUT of shotgun with a single back
