From an article-
According to Bills guard Richie Incognito, a lot of the big runs that helped both LeSean McCoy and Karlos Williams both pile up 100 yards on the ground came from the same running play, along with a few variations of it. "It was the same play over and over and over again," Incognito said. "Same play. We probably ran that play between 10 and 15 times. There are some subtle nuances how we block it up on the front side between the tight end and the pulling guard, but we had good looks all day and we just kept running it. "
This is what we are going to see from the Eagles...and there's nothing we can do about it.

Considering the dolphins ranking at stopping the run, I predict that the dolphins will get ground up just like Rye Gerhardt did in Fargo.

2020 cant get here soon enough
The Eagles have 3 good backs and they all have different skill sets. They also run the uptempo which will tire us out pretty quickly. And we are one of the worst teams against the run. It should be like leading lambs to slaughter, but you never know in the NFL, watch us go out and stuff them on every play.

I too fell for the bait. We were told that the D-line with Suh was going to get to the qb fast and eat up runners. Well, we can't. And we don't have the linbackers to seal the deal. Back to step 1, stop the run.

Life is what we make it.
Sad. Opposing lineman have a bye week when they play us.
Is there any chance we can blame Tannehill for this?
That's exactly what I thought about when I saw this thread. Dolphins may be ****ed but Fargo season 2 is awesome.Sounds dreadful. I don't care. I'm betting on the Dolphins. It fits my system of a .500 or worse team giving 6 points or more at home. Eagles are -6.5 at most joints. I've been hoping for +7. I doubt it will go higher than that, although the third straight road game angle often draws opposing money. This spread is already jacked up a couple points due to that scheduling situation.
Look at it this way: We were +7.5 at unbeaten New England, a division foe. Now we are receiving just one point less against a .500 team quarterbacked by Sam Bradford, and not a nemesis division rival.
I'll take my chances and challenge the .500 team to cover a full touchdown. As always, more often than not. The players and other characteristics specific to this game don't matter. If you've stumbled to .500 this deep into the season you have proven worthy of suspicion as a favorite of this magnitude.
Should be an entertaining game. They use the underneath crossing stuff also. That's the interesting aspect...which team thrives when those bread and butter plays are used. I expect plenty of big plays and mangled plays from both sides. I'm sure their edge rushers will give us fits, far beyond what Buffalo managed. Miami should thwart several drives in short order. Tannehill needs to take full advantage of those opportunities.
I have taken note of one potential positive of our rotten season. I typically attend one game per season. There was no chance I was doing that this year, with the prices of individual game tickets skyrocketing on the secondary markets. But if we limp home 3-6 and continue along that path, I might be able to scoop up something.

It's going to be a long game. We were just what the bills needed to get back on track and now we're just what the eagles need as well. It's unfortunate because I like DC but I don't think there's a chance he's retained, unless by some divine intervention we sqeak into the playoffs

I have to wonder, if Miami and Philly run the same type of Offense there may be some familiarity to both sides and could possibly be a defensive game.
it is completely sad that this team has not been able to stop the run. That was the glaring need in the offseason, and they hired a personnel guru to fix it. He threw money at one person and failed. He needs to be held responsible.
Bills game was different because Miami had to respect Taylor's running ability. Bradford? Not so much. I'm not saying Miami shuts down the Eagles running game. I'm just saying it won't be as difficult to manage.
