Id be surprised if we couldnt beat Pitt right now

Ben is washed. They're going to be in on Darnold, Wentz, etc.

Their defense is legit but they don't scare me as much as Kansas City, Tennessee, and Buffalo in terms of matchup/outright stacked talent.

If we are so blessed to make the playoffs..... I absolutely want all the smoke with Pittsburgh!
 
Buffalo is better than Pittsburgh as well and it didn't surprise me that they beat the Steelers.

When they were 11-0, I thought they were vastly overachieving. Not a bad team, but not the top of the AFC.

We can beat anyone. We almost beat KC and that was with half our team going out with injuries. Anyone can win on any given Sunday

The any given Sunday rule is so true. But KC is the only team in the AFC that really "scares me." Miami almost played a perfect half defensively against the Chiefs and still trailed 14-10. The offense has to pick it up somehow. Rushing for 250 yards against NE was encouraging. With an effective short passing game, if the Dolphins can be a little more consistent running the ball it could be a fun couple of weeks.

I agree we can beat a decent amount of teams except...Bills, KC, GB, NO

Each of those teams have high scoring offense that we don't have the horses right now to keep up with.

KC in the playoffs no, but I will add Cleveland and Tennesee in teams we can't beat in the playoffs.
I think we all know our achilles heel is going to be our Run Defense, so teams with Henry,Chubb,Hunt will likely feast on our average Run defense.

Buffalo I think we can beat because their RB's are not so dynamic and Josh Allen still has those wtf performances where he will throw 2 or 3 int's and play poorly at times.. I will say Josh Allen usually finishes the game strong and they win but he can certainly take time to get in Rhythm passing the football.

Cleveland is hit or miss. If you can slow down their running game and force Baker to beat you then you have a shot.

I mean we almost beat the bills earlier without Byron Jones, we definitely can beat them. The pats should have beaten them and even the Jets gave them issues for a little bit. Divisional matchups always leave all bets off the table. They are clearly more talented but I think we actually matchup pretty well with them. Let’s see how Diggs like Byron on his hip all day instead of Igbo.

NO is hard to read this year. GB somewhat too. KC is the only team where I’d go into the game feeling like we have almost no chance, but hell I think we showed enough in our previous matchup that we have at least a punchers chance. Not a great puncher maybe...

I agree with you on the Bills,Chiefs, Packers, and Saints, but have to throw in that with the type of defense Miami has, they could just as easily throw a monkey wrench into their high scoring Offense.

Though we can't expect Miami to hang with those teams, with how Miami is built, if things go right...not one team can say Miami should be an obvious win.

Miami gets in the playoffs, teams will be fully aware of Miami.
 
With Miami you are gonna do what you can to confuse this young OLine (because you ain't confusing this QB very often if you give him time).

That's how you beat them in 2020. Denver set the blueprint out there and we have had to adjust. But teams will be trying their best to do it to us if we make it to a 17th game. Pitt has a style of team that we absolutely could struggle with on offense.

But on the right day we can beat anybody.
 
I’d love for us to play Pitt! Ben would retire after the game.

Josh Allen owns an ocean front mansion in the Dolphins defense.

His numbers against them are insane. 4-1, 17 TD’s, and 3 INT’s.
 
I think the Jets could have beat the Steelers last night (lol). The team is literally trash on offense without Conner playing. Ben is 100% washed up. All he can do is hit the short, quick passes
