Miami does not have an impressive win yet

The impressive thing to me about this team, and I think its being overshadowed by our **** offense, is, besides the Saints we've made every offense look just as ****ty as our offense. And we've played some good QBs. If our offense was just a smidgen better and we could really unleash our defense more often knowing they have to pass the defense could be sick good and would get the credit they deserve in the media.
 
You can't tell me the Colts win wasn't impressive. We beat a playoff team from last year in the second game of the season, when they still had Reggie Wayne, in their house, despite opening with two games on the road before a home game. We also beat an Atlanta team that was at the time considered a Super Bowl favorite. A season is a fragile thing that can get derailed easily, and theirs may have turned our drastically different had they not lost to us between playing the Saints and Patriots, top caliber teams they also lost to. They couldn't get out of that hole, but they played like a very good team when we played them, and only a couple key moments that the Dolphins forced led them to winning that game.

We've made a lot of good offenses look average, but you can't honestly tell me that the defense didn't always contribute to the losses by always letting teams follow our scores with their own, swinging momentum, or that they kept up their overall performance in many games key moments. It does little good to stop Cam Newton for three quarters if you are going to lower your level of play when given a chance to end the game.

There are a lot of good things in this defense, and absolutely nothing great. They don't sustain their level of play when it actually comes time to turn good play into an actual win often enough.
 
Anyone who thinks the Steelers of the last three games is the same Steelers team that started out the year is smoking something delusional.

Steelers played their hardest hitting and most intense game to date, on Sunday. They've been playing at a high level the last three games or so. They are not an easy out, here on out, unless they lay down because they are out of the playoffs.

No one in the league would have wanted to play the Steelers in their house on Sunday. Like going into the den of a wounded Bear.

We escaped w. only a few players hurt and one proctological exam. Oh, and the win, lol.

Huge game.

If we beat the Patriots, I'm sure the national media will concoct numerous excuses as to why the Patriots lost. These jerk-offs won't give us respect until we actually make the playoffs.

We don't deserve respect until we make the playoffs.
 
So beating Cincniati at home is unimpressive but luck in his building is half and Big Ben in the snow means nothing. These writers will do anything to get feedback be it negative or positive.
 
LOL @"when he throws 3 ints"... Who made that happen??? No respect.

Dalton and Luck got outplayed, period.
 
I love what I learn on the internets, that Kaepernick is no good and Dalton sucks. Take all the high YPPA Differential teams and denounce them. That's the ticket. Then reach way down for the teams with a negative net and boost them up. Sounds wonderful. Big future there.

Strength of schedule is an invention of idiots. I don't know anybody in Las Vegas who relies on it. The teams can vary dramatically week to week based on situational factors. That's the type of adjustment I don't mind, unlike wild personnel amendments. NFL rosters are very balanced other than a handful of players.

At least it's not so bad on NFL forums. On college football forums these days it's basically a waste of time. Every young fan has been sadly brainwashed by the BCS crap of strength of schedule reliance, to the point they are basically paralyzed to evaluate a team any other way. All you read about is strength of schedule. They even retreat dozens of years and announce the "correct" national champion in a given year, based solely on who they played. Beyond pathetic. It serves to demonstrate the decline of horse racing. In the old days when fans were following horse racing all week and football on the weekend, they were conditioned to regard level of opposition as merely one of the variables, and not necessarily the most important one. In every horse race you have to take into consideration whether class or speed is more important. The handicappers who are fixated on only one category are at a disadvantage. These days with horse racing analysis all but gone the younger fans can't imagine that strength of schedule alone isn't the overpowering trump card variable.
 
But Colin Kaepernick's YPA this season is approaching the lofty heights of such legendary masters of the forward pass, including all time legendary YPA leaders JEFF GEORGE and TRENT GREEN. Clearly, you are undervaluing him here. I mean, what good is getting to your second read when your second read will only get you six yards? That doesn't even get you back to 7.2. Scramble out of bounds for three yards, that's the ticket.

As for Dalton, :lol:

Even Bengals fans know he is holding that team back.
 
Why is the OP getting thumbed down for merely posting an article? Its not his opinion that we dont have a quality win.

Tom Brady looks up the list of all time YPA leaders and a single tear rolls down his cheek as he realizes that he'll simply never be as good as Matt Schaub or Daunte Culpepper.
