*** OFFICIAL MIAMI DOLPHINS @ SAN FRANCISCO 49ers GAME THREAD *** WK13

My gosh I don't know if we've ever seen a worse offense in this era of the NFL when a team has what is supposed to be a legit starting QB. Everytime I see that Denver has a scoring opportunity its always just a field goal. They are the absolute king of the 10-20 point game. Even absolutely dreadful offenses find a way to pop a play in opponent territory every now and then to stack up a few TD's. What a crapshow.

Its a different thing entering the game un-prepared as opposed to having a whole week of practice to account for it...

Look at the difference between Skylar having a week of practice as a starter vs. coming in cold...

NFL players, even backups are paid to be prepared at all times.Excusing any player who has to come into a game to play when a starter is injured by saying he is un-prepared to play is ridiculous.

If any player on the active roster is un-prepare to play when called on to play, that player shouldn’t be in the NFL to begin with.

Cousins is vomit-inducing.

The forecasted rain has been moved to tomorrow and Tuesday where I live; I imagine it's the same in Santa Clara.

Should be a downright pleasant day for football today

No team would be expected to play well down 2 starting tackles, however when you have the best WR duo and a quality backfield you don't get that excuse. This game is about coaching. I'm very interested to see how McDaniel has schemed this game knowing the line will likely have Tua running for his life every snap

As a guitar player myself I’ve always been a huge fan of Mustaine, from the 80’s. Loved him from obviously his work in Metallica, but really from killing is my business, to peace sells, and my favorite album was Rust in peace. I remember staying up late at night learning the solo to Tornado of souls and that rhythm on 5 magics and of course holy wars, absolutely incredible. Good stuff dude!

That's a really oversimplified and, quite honestly, BS view. Unless you are really lucky every player on your offense has different things they excel at and are gonna gravitate towards different things to succeed. If you are calling the same plays and the same strategies for every player and expecting the same results, you aren't a good coach.

It’s because the last five weeks we’ve played slugs
This is a real test

We’ll that and the Armstead injury, I mean that‘s the real concern right? Obviously vs a great defense…

 

[Kyndig]

SF is one of the least blitzing teams.

Slowing down #97 better be priority #1

because they can get there with 4 and you can still move help

This Baltimore/Denver game is…..something.

Watching jets/vikes. Cousins is a terrible qb

With Little and Shell at tackle, Tua better have his head on a swivel. Going against this defense with below average backup tackles just isn’t the best way to go into this game, IMO.

True. I’m hoping some good coaching and scheming will help. Get the ball out quick, run the ball right down Bosa’s throat, put in some help from our fullback and tight end alternating, etc. but yes, Not ideal
