I really think this Cincy game is the game we win with QB pressure.
It’s time for a batted ball by Ogbah,
van Ginkel to speed rush a guy into a Big Mistake, and
Phillips to get a crushing sack.
Even Trey Flowers is starting to contribute.
It’s also time for the law of averages to kick in in our favor on those INTs.
The Eli Apple rift with Tyreek is laughable, so Eli, with help behind him stops Tyreek on a short pass at the goal line in last years AFC Championship game, if I remember correctly it was right before the half and either time ran out or it was 4th down
So what he made a big play, that was more of a just doing your job, than anything great
Tyreek had to figure the 2nd defender into his move too, so it allowed Tyreek to just fall into his lap
I am still pissed off about the safety that Allen threw in the endzone that wasn’t called. It absolutely was intentional grounding. The pass absolutely did not reach the line of scrimmage. The pass absolutely landed in the endzone. THIS WAS A SAFETY!!
I think it’s a remarkable accomplishment, in general you get outgained by your opponent who is better, but yet you still win, usually aided by TOs or STs
I get why so many people think it was a safety. I was screaming it on the initial play, the RB gets kinda hidden by the linemen, but on the replay from the defensive point of view, you can see the RB right there.
There is an argument going on on Twitter that the Dolphins organization should be penalized for not following concussion protocol. All these twit-wits are sooooooo concerned with Tua’s health…Oh, wait, no they don’t give a fuck about him being concussed they just want him to miss games to help their teams! Bunch of hypocrites.
they say the proof is that he wobbled when he walked away. That if it looks like a concussion then it is a concussion and that the player is lying about it.
I didn’t even catch that until seeing one of the replays this morning. He was looking Hill’s way up top, then quickly goes middle and drops a dime to Waddle. Awesome.
#Chargers LT Rashawn Slater suffered a ruptured biceps tendon in Sunday’s loss to the #Jaguars and is expected to miss the rest of the 2022 season, per source.
The Dolphins’ odds to win the Super Bowl have improved from 35-1 to 16-1 in the first three weeks of the season. Miami is the only team to have won and covered the spread in each of its first three games.
“I think [the Dolphins] are legit, if they’re in a shootout,” Craig Mucklow, director of trading for Caesars Sportsbook and Dolphins fan, said. “What the Bills did today, where they controlled the time of possession, will be a template for lot of teams this year [against Miami].”
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Tua Tagovailoa’s back & ankle is feeling sore but still getting info from tests.
McDaniel said it wasn’t out the norm of bumps & bruises that typically come after games but he hasn’t done a Thursday game with Tua yet to say he can definitively play
Pretty crazy the Bills had themselves in FG range at the end of both halves and weren’t able to get the kick unit out for an attempt because the clock ran out on them both times.
So the other 2 undefeated teams (Eagles and Giants) will play each other twice, ensuring that there will be only 1 team to be concerned about going undefeated this year… assuming the ’72 Phins wouldn’t mind us matching their perfection.
The Dolphins have an impressive opening resume with Mike McDaniel with a variety of victories — rout, big comeback and grinding battle of attrition. They are maximizing their offensive efficiency and their defensive aggressiveness to be shockingly worthy of the top spot after beating the previous “best team.”
Think you’ll see it in some but not all power rankings this week. A lot of people still think Bills are the best team in the league, but hard to rank them obove us so…..
We’re going to have a tough time containing the Bengals’ version of “The Three Amigos”: Chase, Boyd, and Higgins… arguably the best trio of WRs in the NFL.
WOW on that SI power ranking. I asked this question last week what would happen, facetiously saying they will drop the Bills for losing but wont raise us for winning.
I’m beginning to feel concerned for Gesicki, for yesterday was the second time in 3 games he only had 1 reception. While his blocking has certainly gotten better, he doesn’t seem to be in the game plan in terms of a weapon.
It might be a coincidence (hit the guy who’s most open) or he’s being phased out.
Shannon Sharpe believes even though Miami beat Buffalo and Baltimore the past two weeks, they feel the Bills and Ravens are still better teams than Miami.
Well, you are wrong. Not just wrong, but willfully ignorant for ignoring the evidence that proves otherwise!
Liam Eichenberg made a GREAT play yesterday by drawing a holding call: he protected Tua from getting killed. Aside from that heads-up play, he seems to be the weak link on our O-Line thus far. Plenty of time for him to get it turned around, though.
Coming from YOU, that’s GREAT to hear, Hulkster! Yes, he’s got a ways to go yet, but he’s certainly better this year than he was last year. I hope he turns into a gem.
Power rankings are just a beauty contest, whoever is the soup of the day
Buffalo is obviously a better team, but we’re closing the gap fast and the best team doesn’t always win
Included in being a better team is the coaching staff, and the guy at the top gets the most ping pong balls, if MM isn’t the better coach now give it a few weeks
I love that after Edmonds got hit as a defenseless receiver, we came right back and let him score the TD on the next play.
My favorite thing so far about this offense is we don’t seem to struggle to score in the red zone. I’m pretty sure we have a perfect TD conversion rate in the RZ through 3 weeks (not sure how many attempts though since we have a number of TD scores from outside the RZ).
I’d’ve maybe put the Eagles above us.
No one else, though.
Previous years don’t count,
and no one’s got a better record,
and no one’s played a harder schedule,
and we’ve not been abnormally lucky,
and the refs don’t favor us,
and we don’t have just one way to score,
or a great D and no offense or
vice versa
Mac Jones has actually played pretty good this year, better than I thought he would, but I think he’s mostly reached his peak, he’s like a Kurt Cousins
Jackson has games where he looks great ad a passing QB. But then he has others where he looks like he is having a hard time hitting anything other than the ground. When he is on he is sensational and he has been on every game this season
Stephen A. not ready to put Fins on Buffalo’s level, nor should he
In Allen’s 3rd year he was lighting it up, Bills were killin it, but no one was ready to put them ahead of KC or on their level
People need to put the brakes on these ridiculous stories, we’ve played 3 games, let the season play out, then we can talk about who’s better and where teams stand
Did you guys notice that after Tua tried that QB sneak at the goal line he looked a little banged up and his legs kind of dipped when he tried to get up. I thought he got hurt on the play but he played through. So I’m not surprised that’s what made him almost fall after the roughing penalty. He didn’t look like a guy with a concussion walking off the field.
“It’s my first time on a Thursday night game with Tua, so I don’t assume anything. It wasn’t out of the extreme norm bumps and bruises after a game. As far as me being able to access my crystal ball, it’s broken right now. That’s one of the reasons why you have a roster of capable people, and that’s why we brought Teddy here and drafted Skylar. You have to be ready for these types of adjustments. Just like Teddy was ready in the game, we’ll be ready for whatever we’ll have to deal with moving forward.”
How about that crazy stat that the Bills offense had not had a 3rd and 10 or longer at any point this season until the 4 minute mark in the 2nd quarter of our game. Unbelievable.
McDaniel noted that when he initially saw Tagovailoa stumble on the field, he also made an assumption about what was going on with the quarterback.
“But that’s why there’s also an independent neurologist that clears him,” McDaniel said. “We have to clear him. You’re talking to the player. and listen, the one thing I think our players know more than anybody, there’s certain things I’m very sensitive to — I’ve been called emotional from time to time — and one of those things is player health. So I don’t mess around with that — at all.
“And it was above and beyond, Tua was pretty annoyed with me during the game when I was talking to him because he knew what hurt and didn’t understand why people kept talking to him about what we were talking to him about. I think watching replays, he probably could. That’s something that I think, the pillar of importance for all of it is player safety. That’s why the protocols are in place. So, we’re happy to comply and feel fine about that whole process, really.”
Yep, we got really stingy on our side of the field. We forced them to make good play after good play to extend drives and score. And we were able to force them into mistakes that cost points on some drives, and stop them on others.
I believe Teddy Bridgewater was brought in for his naturally supportive and cerebral nature. Not sure we could win with him, but he’s an incredible teammate.
I could see Teddy going into coaching or even into the booth after his career is over. Until then, as a PLAYER, he’s still Betty Treadwater to me. I love the guy, but he’s not our answer as a player backup QB.
One of my sons texted me a pic of Tua
being bent backwards at the shoulders
while another guy was pulling on his legs,
but I don’t know how to post it here,
and I can’t find it,
and he didn’t send the link, … yet.
it’s just an estimation but this is a lengthy (and understandable) injury report for the Dolphins as the prep for the Bengals on a short week pic.twitter.com/eUVU950hh4
#Browns confirm that Myles Garrett was involved in a one-car accident this afternoon after leaving the practice facility. Garrett suffered non-life threatening injuries and was taken to a local hospital.
They don’t usually do an injury report the day after a game or you would see a lot more like the one above. I’m hoping the practice they have been getting is quality practice so they can afford to miss some.
Upon further review: Credit @EmanOgbah for very clearly blocking Buffalo's FG attempt with 14:41 left in the 4th QTR yesterday. Dude got tired of waiting for a pass to bat at the line of scrimmage through a few games so he went and got a FG instead. pic.twitter.com/d2B55rQmuP
We’ve now won 3 games in different ways.
1. We lead the Pats the entire game and played a clean overall game.
2. The Ravens were killing us and we had a historic comeback.
3. The Bills offense had the ball forever but we held them to 17.
Watching the game last night and what I have seen of tonight’s game so far really makes me appreciate our team that much more. Pretty mediocre football on prime time so far and we are playing at such a higher level than these prime time games
HALF AN HOUR AGO I wasn’t sleepy at all. But 30 minutes of this Giants/Cowboys snoozer has made me VERY TIRED!!
————
MY best guess about this impending hurricane is that it will pass about 50 miles or so west of Clearwater Beach (which is about 30-35 miles west of where we live in Pasco County). If the eye wall stays about 85 miles west of us, we should be OK.
————
The Old Dolfan is out for tonight!
I give the coaches and OL a lot of props to overcome so many injuries early and still play well enough to go 3-0. Lot’s of players have chipped in. Stat games are nice but the W/L column is the only one that matters. That Pats won lots of games like that during their 20 year run. Win the game! That gets you into the playoffs. You can’t win it if you’re not in it.
He also deserves immense kudos for deawing the holding call on that drive too Wyo …… a hold so flagrant it must have been visible from outer space, since the officiating crew ignored every other blatant hold against us.

Finally, here are the top five who have specifically made the highest percentage of plays on the ball when targeted, shown as ball hawk rate. This statistic is simply the proportion of plays a defender defended a pass or snagged an interception. pic.twitter.com/e55OsX5vkP
And the league is monitoring whether their field will be safe to play on against the Chiefs on Sunday,
but they will NOT play in Hard Rock,
according to Adam Schefter.
Funny how 90% of NFL fans and experts say Tua sucks, he has no arm. Those same 90% are screaming that the Dolphins be investigated for their handling of Tua as to whether he was concussed and if he should have been allowed to play.
Finsmob Unleashed 
If we keep having these mistakes on Special Teams, it may be time for a new ST coordinator this offseason.
Bottom half of the league in STs last year
KO TD return given up last week
Sherfield being out of position creating a butt punt
Let’s get this shit fixed Crossman!
I really think this Cincy game is the game we win with QB pressure.
It’s time for a batted ball by Ogbah,
van Ginkel to speed rush a guy into a Big Mistake, and
Phillips to get a crushing sack.
Even Trey Flowers is starting to contribute.
It’s also time for the law of averages to kick in in our favor on those INTs.
We faced a statue week 1 and kicked his ass, then the top 2 mobile QBs and they had their way with us for 3 qtrs, but couldn’t finish
Burrow has some movement, but he’s no Allen or Jackson, passrush should feast
The Eli Apple rift with Tyreek is laughable, so Eli, with help behind him stops Tyreek on a short pass at the goal line in last years AFC Championship game, if I remember correctly it was right before the half and either time ran out or it was 4th down
So what he made a big play, that was more of a just doing your job, than anything great
Tyreek had to figure the 2nd defender into his move too, so it allowed Tyreek to just fall into his lap
Eli still can’t cover for shit, in an Iggy manner
Belicheat – check
Harbaugh – check
The consensus SB favorite – check
Last year’s SB loser – you’re next
Hill should be ready. He hardly broke a sweat against Buffalo.
Hill did his job drawing the attention of the D, allowing Waddle room to work and make the big 3rd and 22 play
I’ll never worry about Hill
QB 1
Cracraft missing now from roster, soooo ????
You can raise a PS player 3 times and send them back to the PS. If we raise him again, he goes on the 53.
I know, but that was his 3rd, so I thought that was it. So it’s on the 4th then.
Exactly, it’ll be interesting to see if we raise him again thursday. We do have a spot open, but we also have Jones coming back.
I am still pissed off about the safety that Allen threw in the endzone that wasn’t called. It absolutely was intentional grounding. The pass absolutely did not reach the line of scrimmage. The pass absolutely landed in the endzone. THIS WAS A SAFETY!!
I saw everyone saying this, but it doesn’t have to pass the LOS if there is a receiver in the area, and the RB was a few feet away.
The RB was like 5 yards away behind linemen. There was no chance that pass as to the RB. IT WAS INTENTIONAL GROUNDING.
I thought so at first too in real time, but on a replay you can see the ball lands about 3 or 4 feet away from the RB. It was a good no call
OH he loves to hate
I think it’s a remarkable accomplishment, in general you get outgained by your opponent who is better, but yet you still win, usually aided by TOs or STs
Against the Rams we basically had 3 non O tds
Against Bills 1
You know what I need?
I need a laugher.
I need one of those games
where we jump out to a nice lead
and then add to it and
never really get challenged.
Like a 34-14 game.
The non call was the right call it was supposed to be a screen and he threw near the RB
I get why so many people think it was a safety. I was screaming it on the initial play, the RB gets kinda hidden by the linemen, but on the replay from the defensive point of view, you can see the RB right there.

All these twit-wits are sooooooo concerned with Tua’s health…Oh, wait, no they don’t give a fuck about him being concussed they just want him to miss games to help their teams! Bunch of hypocrites.
Some how they have proof there was a head injury?
He passed the concussion protocol of which 1 member was an independent dr
We used to do this shit to the cheats when they were relevant
Get used to it, we’re now relevant
they say the proof is that he wobbled when he walked away. That if it looks like a concussion then it is a concussion and that the player is lying about it.
His back was the issue, if you’ve had back issues you know it can do that to you
If it was a concussion he would’ve grabbed his head, he instead reached for his face mask, because it was out of alignment
Just to show the doubters how good he is,
Tua
on the 45 yard pass to Waddle on 3rd and 22,
looked off the safety till the last second,
thus keeping Waddle in the shade for the whole route till the catch,
just to keep his WR fresh.
from a tweet by Jonathan Keller
LOFL
re: looking off the safety
I didn’t even catch that until seeing one of the replays this morning. He was looking Hill’s way up top, then quickly goes middle and drops a dime to Waddle. Awesome.
Well that sucks for them!
Chargers, Bills, Brown’s and Falcons. Teams that canteen to catch a break
Chargers are in trouble. Not sure how long it’ll take Herbert to heal, but they might have dug themselves a deep hole by that time.
about the Tua injury,
isn’t there a neutral “league” doctor there to make sure it’s all legit?
Yes and he passed that test
The butt punt was hilarious, but not as funny as Allen’s reaction after throwing the ball into the ground on 4th down
The Dolphins’ odds to win the Super Bowl have improved from 35-1 to 16-1 in the first three weeks of the season. Miami is the only team to have won and covered the spread in each of its first three games.
“I think [the Dolphins] are legit, if they’re in a shootout,” Craig Mucklow, director of trading for Caesars Sportsbook and Dolphins fan, said. “What the Bills did today, where they controlled the time of possession, will be a template for lot of teams this year [against Miami].”
Not a lot of offenses as good as the Bills out there, lol.
beat up
Well Sean Payton was right that Bridgewater would see the field
Are you sure?
He didn’t see any receivers! 😉
Okay would be on the field
Pretty crazy the Bills had themselves in FG range at the end of both halves and weren’t able to get the kick unit out for an attempt because the clock ran out on them both times.
Thus Ken Dorsey’s reaction! LOL
I think they will be “practicing” running the kicking unit out onto the field this week in practice.
LOL, best coach’s cam EVER
In all the hoopla over us being 3-0 I remind everyone that our first round draft pick keeps getting better. 49rs lose again 1-2 record.
Still would have preferred Denver losing
So the other 2 undefeated teams (Eagles and Giants) will play each other twice, ensuring that there will be only 1 team to be concerned about going undefeated this year… assuming the ’72 Phins wouldn’t mind us matching their perfection.
Quite frankly, neither the G-Men nor Eagles will go undefeated this year, so there’s that.
And it starts…. from Sports Illustrated.

NFL power rankings Week 4
1. Miami Dolphins 3-0 (previous ranking: 8)
The Dolphins have an impressive opening resume with Mike McDaniel with a variety of victories — rout, big comeback and grinding battle of attrition. They are maximizing their offensive efficiency and their defensive aggressiveness to be shockingly worthy of the top spot after beating the previous “best team.”
WOW!!! This actually surprises me, but in a GREAT way!
Think you’ll see it in some but not all power rankings this week. A lot of people still think Bills are the best team in the league, but hard to rank them obove us so…..
Not that I put a lot of stock in that but it has been a long time since we have been there
YUP!
Outside runs by the opposing Offense seem to be our trouble spot this year, and I’m surprised the Bills didn’t try to exploit that weakness of ours.
Teams can NOT run on us between the Tackles, and we were without our stud Raewkon Davis yesterday.
*Raekwon
We’re going to have a tough time containing the Bengals’ version of “The Three Amigos”: Chase, Boyd, and Higgins… arguably the best trio of WRs in the NFL.
Sure wish we had Byron back for this Thursday.
WOW on that SI power ranking. I asked this question last week what would happen, facetiously saying they will drop the Bills for losing but wont raise us for winning.
I’m beginning to feel concerned for Gesicki, for yesterday was the second time in 3 games he only had 1 reception. While his blocking has certainly gotten better, he doesn’t seem to be in the game plan in terms of a weapon.
It might be a coincidence (hit the guy who’s most open) or he’s being phased out.
that still wouldn’t be a coincidence because he is not a good route runner, get’s pushed off his routes easily and doesn’t get separation.
These all could be the reasons for his lack of stats, not that he is getting phased out.
I’m wondering if we deal Gesicki before the trade deadline… time will reveal.
Not enough plays
That could very well be the case as well. Good point.
Shannon Sharpe believes even though Miami beat Buffalo and Baltimore the past two weeks, they feel the Bills and Ravens are still better teams than Miami.
Well, you are wrong. Not just wrong, but willfully ignorant for ignoring the evidence that proves otherwise!
^
So Sharpie, those 2 teams have already peaked and we’re still trying to figure it out yet those teams are better after we beat them?
No one ever claimed he was the smartest person in the room
Liam Eichenberg made a GREAT play yesterday by drawing a holding call: he protected Tua from getting killed. Aside from that heads-up play, he seems to be the weak link on our O-Line thus far. Plenty of time for him to get it turned around, though.
I think he has improved and I have been a big critic. I still don’t trust him yet but I see improvement
Coming from YOU, that’s GREAT to hear, Hulkster! Yes, he’s got a ways to go yet, but he’s certainly better this year than he was last year. I hope he turns into a gem.
I’m watching the replay and literally just saw that play and was glad he held Miller rather than let a free rusher right up the middle
YUP! That was a very heads-up play by Eich.
I mean, I’d rather he slid over quicker and picked up the stunt since that was his guy, but better a hold than a free rusher, lol.
I’m not even (nor have I) watching the game again, I’m just going by memory… hence so many of my random thoughts above.
“In the locker room after the game, I didn’t even bring them up because they couldn’t move. But I told them that was a heck of an effort.”
— Sean McDermott
apropos of what? What is “them”?
I took it as they were so dog tired and full of IV bags that I didn’t ask them to stand when I spoke to the team.
Power rankings are just a beauty contest, whoever is the soup of the day
Buffalo is obviously a better team, but we’re closing the gap fast and the best team doesn’t always win
Included in being a better team is the coaching staff, and the guy at the top gets the most ping pong balls, if MM isn’t the better coach now give it a few weeks
Power rankings are subjective. Why they vary so much. In yours where do the Dolphins rank?
Can’t wait to see the first injury report come out, praying that Tua is going to be just fine on a short week.
He said he’s playing Thursday
GRRR……..REAT!!!! (in my Tony the Tiger/Thurl Ravenscroft voice)
I’m sorry, but Matt Milano is on my shit list now. I did NOT CARE for the way he delivered the hit to Tua.
LOL
I hate that they have enough fans here to take over the elbo room, but this is great.
LOL

Steve, there’s a throwback for ya… like your Fonzi throwback a couple of weeks ago. 😀
I love that after Edmonds got hit as a defenseless receiver, we came right back and let him score the TD on the next play.
My favorite thing so far about this offense is we don’t seem to struggle to score in the red zone. I’m pretty sure we have a perfect TD conversion rate in the RZ through 3 weeks (not sure how many attempts though since we have a number of TD scores from outside the RZ).
I believe we have the highest TD per possession rate in the league. We were 2nd to the Bills going into yesterday
Didn’t know that. Awesome
Tua is not in concussion protocol but status for Thursday is still TBD
Wilkins with the hidden dick grab on Allen draws the personal foul, lol, gamesmanship…
Is that what he did? 🤣
That is what is being said. I believe it lol
Let me fix your cup
I’m sure it’s not too hidden and will go viral soon
Oh, did you see it? I looked on this last watch through and couldn’t find it.
Hulkster,
Have you seen “Andor” yet? It’s not too shabby… pretty good, actually.
That goes to CavKong as well.
Not yet. I am hoping to catch up this week. My sons say it’s good. They are off at college so my viewing buddies are not around
Methinks you’ll enjoy it.
I dont know what that is
Newest Star Wars series on D+
Oh, I’ll check it out
One week it’s Hill, the next it’s Waddle, every week it’s Tua
Mostert, Edmonds, Gesicki, Smythe, Cracraft and even Sherfield infamously, also contributing
On D Snowman, Kohou, Howard, Ingram, Wilkins, Seiler, Baker
We don’t seem to need one person to have to play great in order to win, that’s a great thing
“It’s true!”
I’d’ve maybe put the Eagles above us.
No one else, though.
Previous years don’t count,
and no one’s got a better record,
and no one’s played a harder schedule,
and we’ve not been abnormally lucky,
and the refs don’t favor us,
and we don’t have just one way to score,
or a great D and no offense or
vice versa
so why not us
at least at #2.
We have played a harder schedule than the Eagles
I just really want us to beat Cincinnati.
It would just feel so awesome to be 4-0 against 4 difficult teams.
I know we aren’t going 17-0, but … just let us beat Cincy and get some rest.
I am fairly certain that I have never seen us ranked #1.
first time for me as well. I was a little giddy about it.
Just saw/caught this on YouTube… guess who made the game-saving tackle to keep McKenzie in bounds as the clock ran out? MELVIN INGRAM
MELVIN INGRAM 4 PREZ!!!
HELL YEAH!!!
and he almost had the sack on Allen, so he had to turn and run the receiver down from behind, all the while not knocking him out of bounds.
Truly an outstanding play!!
Like I wrote above, team effort everyone contributing, no one has to do too much, although maybe Ingram is trying to do too much can he keep it up
Morestead with the fantastic free punt to help save the game. Morestead and Ingram two of the best FA pickups in the league this year.
100% agreed!
Mac Jones, Stafford and Winston lead the league with 5 ints
But But but, Mac Jones is so much better than Tua!
Last year he had an OC, OL, and rushing attack to help him out, this year they’ve all gotten worse
Mac Jones has actually played pretty good this year, better than I thought he would, but I think he’s mostly reached his peak, he’s like a Kurt Cousins
Bills vs Ravens on Sunday, go Ravens. I expect Bills to be overly pissed off though, and take it out on them
I’m real curious to see that Ravens offense vs the Bills defense.
I’m starting to change my opinion of Jackson as a passing QB.
Jackson has games where he looks great ad a passing QB. But then he has others where he looks like he is having a hard time hitting anything other than the ground. When he is on he is sensational and he has been on every game this season
Exactly my thoughts, Ken.
Sorta liked the 37-26 Ravens’ win against the Pats. They didn’t beat the Patriots as bad as we did. Sorta validates our first two wins.
yep
Stephen A. not ready to put Fins on Buffalo’s level, nor should he
In Allen’s 3rd year he was lighting it up, Bills were killin it, but no one was ready to put them ahead of KC or on their level
People need to put the brakes on these ridiculous stories, we’ve played 3 games, let the season play out, then we can talk about who’s better and where teams stand
Did you guys notice that after Tua tried that QB sneak at the goal line he looked a little banged up and his legs kind of dipped when he tried to get up. I thought he got hurt on the play but he played through. So I’m not surprised that’s what made him almost fall after the roughing penalty. He didn’t look like a guy with a concussion walking off the field.
As a matter of fact, I DID notice as much. I was going to post that Tua didn’t look healthy after that play.
GOOD CALL, Tim.
On my feed they mentioned it when it happened
Mac Jones has a significant high ankle sprain and is expected to miss a few weeks.
GB, Detroit, and Clev coming up for cheats
Mac is now officially injury prone, as he’s been hurt in every game this year
I am plagiarizing FinFan7 from over on the Phinsider.
PFF rankings through 3 weeks:
Hunt 2nd / 73 OG
Waddle 4th / 106 WR 🐧
Tua 4th / 33 QB 👀
Holland 5th / 76 S
Hill 6th / 106 WR 🐆
Kader 8th / 102 CB
Armstead 10th / 70 OT
Wilkins and Sieler top 30 DTs (22nd and 28th)
You can’t trust those stats. Only look good cause we had a weak schedule. 🙂
YOU KNOW IT! WE ONLY PLAYED LOSERS SO FAR THIS YEAR! LOL
Those rankings are BS, when teams are winning their players rankings go up
If Buffalo kicks the 58 yard fg yesterday and beat us I’d bet those numbers would’ve changed
He also chases plays all over the field.
He also has grabbed Josh Allen’s nuts more than probably any other player in the league 😳
They should make a stat line for that. Nut Grabs
You seem to be really intrigued by Allen’s nut getting grabbed🤐
I’m just putting out stats; you just made it weird 🤪
“It’s my first time on a Thursday night game with Tua, so I don’t assume anything. It wasn’t out of the extreme norm bumps and bruises after a game. As far as me being able to access my crystal ball, it’s broken right now. That’s one of the reasons why you have a roster of capable people, and that’s why we brought Teddy here and drafted Skylar. You have to be ready for these types of adjustments. Just like Teddy was ready in the game, we’ll be ready for whatever we’ll have to deal with moving forward.”
— McDaniel on Tua
We’re in trouble if they’ll be ready like Teddy was yesterday
I can’t figure out what the coaching staff sees that we don’t with Teddy. Its been said over and over, he looks so uninterested.
Same way he looked during the 2 training camp practices I went to, like he’s lost a step
Maybe he had covid and it affected his brain somehow
He’s not the same QB that played in Denver or NOLA
Teddy didn’t look ready
Looked lost.
How about that crazy stat that the Bills offense had not had a 3rd and 10 or longer at any point this season until the 4 minute mark in the 2nd quarter of our game. Unbelievable.
In 2023 NFL is replacing the Probowl with Probowl Games, as in some BS skills events, something like NHL has before the actual all star game
First games will be here in Vegas, and they’ll probably charge an arm and leg for the events, just like the NHL did
I won’t be attending, it will be more watered down, than the actual game has been
Personally, I like the move… but that’s just me.
McDaniel noted that when he initially saw Tagovailoa stumble on the field, he also made an assumption about what was going on with the quarterback.
“But that’s why there’s also an independent neurologist that clears him,” McDaniel said. “We have to clear him. You’re talking to the player. and listen, the one thing I think our players know more than anybody, there’s certain things I’m very sensitive to — I’ve been called emotional from time to time — and one of those things is player health. So I don’t mess around with that — at all.
“And it was above and beyond, Tua was pretty annoyed with me during the game when I was talking to him because he knew what hurt and didn’t understand why people kept talking to him about what we were talking to him about. I think watching replays, he probably could. That’s something that I think, the pillar of importance for all of it is player safety. That’s why the protocols are in place. So, we’re happy to comply and feel fine about that whole process, really.”
great explanation
The Bills ran 90 plays to our 39 and we held them to 17 points. That’s pretty impressive.
The scored their 14th point with about 12 and a half minutes left in the 2nd quarter.
They only scored 3 points the rest of the way, close to 3 quarters…
Our defense did a lot of bending but not a lot of breaking.
Yep, we got really stingy on our side of the field. We forced them to make good play after good play to extend drives and score. And we were able to force them into mistakes that cost points on some drives, and stop them on others.
I believe Teddy Bridgewater was brought in for his naturally supportive and cerebral nature. Not sure we could win with him, but he’s an incredible teammate.
I could see Teddy going into coaching or even into the booth after his career is over. Until then, as a PLAYER, he’s still Betty Treadwater to me. I love the guy, but he’s not our answer as a player backup QB.
Teddy didn’t get very deep in the pocket. It looked like he was with the OL at the LOS. I don’t know what’s up with him.
lazy
One of my sons texted me a pic of Tua
being bent backwards at the shoulders
while another guy was pulling on his legs,
but I don’t know how to post it here,
and I can’t find it,
and he didn’t send the link, … yet.
Would’ve been priceless after the game for a beat writer to address Teddy as Betty Treadwater
Made up stuff?
Glad to see the fans back in the stands!
Could be worse
Now it’s Buffalo had 6 starters out on D, why not just say 17 out on D.
Rexie
They don’t usually do an injury report the day after a game or you would see a lot more like the one above. I’m hoping the practice they have been getting is quality practice so they can afford to miss some.
Dude said it was “an estimation.” They aren’t even practicing today even if a number of players might come in for medical eval.
I’m thinking Tua will be good to go on Thursday, he finished the game so why would he miss the next one?
During the off season after we traded for Hill many people came out and said “you can’t compare Tua to Mahomes, don’t be..”
Um, I will refer those to NFL.COM/stats so they can “not compare them” as well.
Turns out great WR help QB’s be better. It’s only week 3 but all the stats are favorably comparable
Eisen
Bills made a ton of mistakes at the end and still almost won
And Fins didn’t make any? Butt punt, ridiculous pass on 3rd down, let guys run free all day…
We made all those mistakes couldn’t stop short pass and still beat there ass
5 missed INTs
Aren’t mistakes usually how teams lose games? The Bills lost because they didn’t play well enough. End of story.
Maybe
Even better. One less way the Bills ‘lost’ the game instead of the Dolphins ‘won it’
From the horses mouth
excellent presser
Delete that
Why?
It’s stupid Tim!
Oh okay! LOL
Another great thing about this season: The McDaniels coached Raiders are 0-3
I approve this message.
We’ve now won 3 games in different ways.
1. We lead the Pats the entire game and played a clean overall game.
2. The Ravens were killing us and we had a historic comeback.
3. The Bills offense had the ball forever but we held them to 17.
Watching the game last night and what I have seen of tonight’s game so far really makes me appreciate our team that much more. Pretty mediocre football on prime time so far and we are playing at such a higher level than these prime time games
Agreed.
HALF AN HOUR AGO I wasn’t sleepy at all. But 30 minutes of this Giants/Cowboys snoozer has made me VERY TIRED!!
————
MY best guess about this impending hurricane is that it will pass about 50 miles or so west of Clearwater Beach (which is about 30-35 miles west of where we live in Pasco County). If the eye wall stays about 85 miles west of us, we should be OK.
————
The Old Dolfan is out for tonight!
Stay safe OD
I hope you’re right, my son is in Clermont
I will not be shocked if we get flexed into another prime time game or 2 especially if we keep playing like the last couple of weeks
Giants OL looks like ours from last season
Its Jones, he has Tannehil pocket presence
Here’s the pic of Tua being bent back at the waist while some other guy tries to break him in half by pulling his legs up.
That’s the injury.

LOL!
I’m THE author of such names as Marc COLONBLOW and Seanathan Smith. Betty Treadwater is my latest. 🙂
Easy to do when one is a musical poet.
Daniel Jones = Trubisky
And then there were two…
Eagles play the Jags, we’re going to see which one is for real
Daniel Jones has a lot of the same physical traits as Josh Allen. Except he’s not as good at any of them. The Giants will look for a new QB in 2023.
I give the coaches and OL a lot of props to overcome so many injuries early and still play well enough to go 3-0. Lot’s of players have chipped in. Stat games are nice but the W/L column is the only one that matters. That Pats won lots of games like that during their 20 year run. Win the game! That gets you into the playoffs. You can’t win it if you’re not in it.
He also deserves immense kudos for deawing the holding call on that drive too Wyo …… a hold so flagrant it must have been visible from outer space, since the officiating crew ignored every other blatant hold against us.

Upon further review: Credit @EmanOgbah for very clearly blocking Buffalo’s FG attempt with 14:41 left in the 4th QTR yesterday. Dude got tired of waiting for a pass to bat at the line of scrimmage through a few games so he went and got a FG instead.
Drawing
You know who wasn’t gassed after playing 91 snaps Sunday?
Plus he was in for about 4 ST plays!
Do you believe in coincidence???????
I don’t know about cause and effect, but it sure was nice to not have him and Mando bitchin and second guessing the whole off season.
LOL!! It is pretty funny actually
As of 2AM there is a 28% chance for hurricane strength winds here. About the Same for Clermont.
About 80% for Tampa.
Thanks
I know M will approve
I see that the Tampa Bay team went to Miami
to work out for their game
while the hurricane passes through their town.
But it will be raining hard there mostly the whole time they are there.
But I wonder if our team is leaving for Cincinnati soon,
so they don’t have to fly right through the storm after it makes landfall.
And the league is monitoring whether their field will be safe to play on against the Chiefs on Sunday,
but they will NOT play in Hard Rock,
according to Adam Schefter.
Nice adjustment by Boyer and McDaniel:
Robert griffin tweeted this:
not too shabby
Funny how 90% of NFL fans and experts say Tua sucks, he has no arm. Those same 90% are screaming that the Dolphins be investigated for their handling of Tua as to whether he was concussed and if he should have been allowed to play.
Really???
won the game for us with that last tackle in bounds
Be sure to listen to the audio and notice Jalen Hurts is on the sideline.
Tua shows pocket presence, athleticism, courage, BIG ARM …
Announcer said Tua looks like Steve Young.
That was not just a perfect throw to Waddle in stride with 50+ air yards. What was more impressive is he did it with a sore back and sore ankle.
Yep
CLUTCH
Must have killed the ESPN talking heads to publish this.
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34670270/nfl-week-4-power-rankings-2022-1-32-poll-plus-rating-qbs
2 of our wins came against top 6 teams and the other against the GOAT.
Tua sure looks a lot like he’s taking a similar path to the one Allen took, both were below expectations until year 3, when they got their elite WR
Michael Irvin knows football.
