2025 Season – Game 9 – Ravens @ Dolphins

Thursday Night Football!! The 2-5 Baltimore Ravens vs The 2-6 Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are hot, they are rolling after an extensive 1 game win streak. OK, they actually played a good game, and QB Tua Tagovailoa had a great game. The Ravens defense is terrible, worse than our own terrible defense. The Ravens are allowing 30 points per game good for 30th in the NFL. The Ravens can score though, even without QB Lamar Jackson, but tonight, the Ravens will have the services of Jackson as he returns from injury. Derrick Henry, even at age 31 going on 32 is still dangerous.

We’ll see if the Dolphins can continue the good play that was on display against the Atlanta Falcons. The O-line looked so much better, we ran the ball effectively not just on the outside but in the middle too with RB Ollie Gordon. The Dolphins rushed 37 times for 141 yards. I can’t really recall the last time the Dolphins ran that much. Atlanta looked all out of sorts and couldn’t stop us on defense, and their impressive RB tandem of Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier were shut down, and Atlanta had no answer with veteran QB Kirk Cousins making his first start in over a year due to the bone bruise injury to starting QB Michael Penix.

You know where I stand, if you tell me Stephen Ross will fire Chris Grier and Mike McDaniel even if we win 7 games, I’ll root for us to win every game until we reach 7, and then that’s the end of that. I can’t bear to see either of these guys return and I won’t waste my time next year with this nonsense if they do, so if losses make it happen more certainly, then I’ll root for losses. This team has no Super Bowl aspirations, we’re not a championship caliber team. This team at 2-6 isn’t going anywhere, we’re not running off 8 of 9 to win the division.
