Packers RB Josh Jacobs on Dolphins:Them boys looked cold out there'

Soft and now cold.... just add it to the list.
Maybe we should just start drafting from colder climate colleges. We've tried everything else.
 
I agree with the main premise of everything

But for those of you guys saying it wasn’t cold out?

Uhhhh what? It was literally below freezing (and I think with some wind) …. Do you guys just walk around in a t shirt and shorts if that’s “not cold”

I’m from the Midwest, so I know what cold feels like, and sure this isn’t Minnesota or Canada or Alaska here, but my ass, when you guys say what probably felt like ~20 degrees “isn’t cold”
 
But we do suck in cold weather

And not just below freezing. Like sub 50 weather. Now, that kind of temp like 40-50, I could get behind saying “isn’t that cold”

I read it was 20 missed tackles and 175 yards. I don't know how many yards in total GB finished with, but I'd guess that's about half of what they got?

Jacobs is a physical runner, who breaks tackles. Still, that is unacceptable. Especially at this point in the season when your team is "fighting" to get back into the playoff picture. It says a lot, unfortunately, about the mentality of the team.

I hope the missed tackles were just because of the cold, although that is an indictment of this teams toughness.

This loss was so frustrating because we shot ourselves in the foot with penalties and other mistakes.

The muffed punt to start the game which really set the tone and had to be demoralizing. That cost us 7 points.

The sequence right before halftime we were close to FG range and had opportunities to convert a 3rd and 4 and 4th and 4 to keep the drive alive and kick a FG before halftime. Instead we failed and then gave up a FG before halftime. Thats a 6 point swing right there.

Then the goal line stand with about 10 minutes remaining in the game. We had 2nd and goal from the 1 and could not score. We have to do a better job there both in terms of play calling and execution. That cost us another 7 points.

Thats 20 combined points, minus 10 for them and plus 10 for us, that could have easily gone in our favor in a game we lost by 13 points.
 
If you can’t show up to play football in normal winter weather, then find a new line of work. Little kids wrestle for hours in the snow and won’t come inside until hot cocoa is served. I refuse to believe the weather had anything to do with their performance. They are soft and mistake-prone in perfect conditions. I’ve seen many average Dolphins teams over the decades win in cold weather. Why don’t Tampa, Arizona, the LA teams, all the dome teams, wilt when it’s less than perfect conditions? It’s not the weather, it’s a soft, lackadaisical organization from top down.
 
We didnt lose because of the weather , were choking dogs thats the problem

You're absolutely spot on. As poorly as Miami played, the Dolphins definitely still could have been in this game. That goal line stand was the ultimate killer, as Miami could have potentially made it 27-19, but you pointed out a few others. Hard to start in that 7-0 hole.
 
It wasn’t like the Chiefs wanted to be out there in the elements any more than the Dolphins did last year in the playoffs. But the Chiefs run an organization that strikes the fear of God into everyone from Mahomes to the groundskeeper. Their owner is the Mr. Burns of NFL owners. Andy Reid has no earthly interests outside of Burger King and winning Super Bowls. Mahomes, Kelce, and Chris Jones are Hall of Famers that you better not cross with lackadaisical play. If you stink, you stink, but you better leave it all on the field. Screw the damn weather.
