Howard out against Buffalo

[Sirspud]

Waddle is a great WR, Tyreek is simply on another level, hes on the mount Rushmore of WRs w Rice and Moss.

Waddle is great but he will never be on Reeks level.

Tyreek is a possible HOFer but Waddle is still close to a top tier receiver. I think we don't see just how good Waddle can be with Tyreek being the focus. Waddle's biggest struggle, besides getting minor dings, is consistency, and I think his consistency always gets better the more he's involved.

Never call it quits and never give up but I honestly have no idea how we can win this game
I hate the injury excuse and cringe every time someone cries “oh the injuries we have”
But sooner or later when you’re losing all your better players what else can you blame it on
I’m just wondering about the psyche of the players we have left. They just got smoked. Do they have the fortitude?

Yes, they do!

If the Ravens play like they played yesterday, no team is beating them, they are the 2023-24 Champs so far.


Good for the Ravens but this s*** ain't over and you never know, getting our asses kicked by the bully down the street might have just made our balls drop and we come out fighting the rest of the way.

Amen. We're prisoners of the moment.
Being at the game, Ravens are tuned up for a championship run for sure. No team was beating them yesterday and they just hung 33 on SF in SF.
BUT once that tourney starts, you never know what might happen.
So I'll take a ticket to the dance any year and we might finally get to watch a playoff game with our actual starting QB. Hasn't happened the last 2 PO appearances.

Is it too late to sign another corner??

Gotta be someone better than Eli Apple. Miami not winning this game. Diggs going to have a field day vs Kohou and Apple

so mad at Miami. So mad at nfl for adding 17 game. More mad at McDaniel.

Again I will say it. We have more injuries with coaches like gase and McDaniel. Compared to Flores. And I hate Flores.

Why ? I don’t know. But I have done the research and have article I typed up for a website. Comparing them.

Sick of it

Lol miami would be east champs and getting a bye under the old playoff format and 16 game schedule

Howard may have played his last game as a Dolphin

Baker too

 

[Dolph N.Fan]

Im just going to say it because its something that is affecting the game as we use to know it.
These guys get paid...many of them get REALLY paid and its deposited in the bank account under contract be they get hurt and miss games or if they pull a Van Ginkle and play all of them...they get paid.

Some injuries are no joke like Bakers...some injuries are questionable and seem petty (Armstead) on the surface. In the past when contracts were written differently guys would have wanted to be on the field to get paid unlike todays upfront millionaires

I respect Tyreek ...He knows how to get down and OB to avoid injury unless some dirty player catches him going out, He has learned how to play and get paid....Waddle would do well to learn Reeks tactics.

In Waddle’s defense for whatever reason (maybe because they’re usually over the middle of the field) Tua’s passes to Waddle are way higher than they are to Hill so Waddle has to always go up for them sacrificing his body.

I would not expect Baker or Howard back unless we make the Super Bowl.

Honestly, looking at both injuries. Strong probability they've both played their last games as Dolphins.

Baker's injury was reported as a sprained MCL, Holland had a sprained MCL in both knees, came back last week but based on his performance he really shouldn't have. Both were injured in the same game.

I said a while ago that they would have put Holland on IR if they had any designations left and I think he's come back too early because he's still taking up a roster spot.

The amount of injuries this season has been ridiculous but at the same time what do you expect when you sign/trade/draft players who are talented but have an injury history.

 

[Springveldt]

I can just see Kohou getting torched all night this Sunday.

Why just this Sunday? It's happened nearly every Sunday this season. Look at his numbers this season compared to last. He has been terrible this year, I'm not sure why more people aren't talking about it. Giving up an 80% completion rate and a 126 passer rating.

it really doesn’t matter who we have in the secondary if we can’t put pressure on the QB's we're done......Lamar had all day to throw yesterday so if that happens against Allen is going to be the same or worse and of course we don’t have Chubb or Phillips

I'm wondering if that was Fangio's instructions though to try and keep Lamar in the pocket. The DL has been getting tons of pressure each week for months now and suddenly they are stonewalled completely by the Ravens OL.

We have seen before that Fangio's defence doesn't work without the front 4 getting pressure, it was the main issue early in the year. Also didn't help that the Ravens schemed to get guys wide open early in their routes by targeting Reilly and Apple.

 

[ANUFan]

I trust Fangio to know if a guy can play or not. Under Vic, the following players have had career years :

- Wilkins (Sacks)
- Sieler (Sacks)
- Van Ginkle (Sacks)
- Baker (Picks)
- Holland (FF and FR)
- Chubb (11 sacks, 6 FF)

The guy’s defense has been suffocating since Ramsey came back. Until yesterday.

Ravens the past 2-3 games have been playing at another level.

They absolutely smoked a healthy 49er team in their own stadium.

49ers were barley able to generate pressure on LJ even with their stout front 7.

I already knew we’d be in trouble.

If you study our team you’d know we’d have trouble.
