Phins Need To Wake The F Up

[Fin-Loco]

Let's be honest with ourselves, we got really lucky yesterday. Wilson made our pass rush look like fools for a good portion of the game. Our offensive gameplay was trash until we got lucky and Duke played out of his mind. We very easily could have lost that game. If we bring that trash of a gameplay to NO we will lose.

We did get lucky to pull one out, but it happens to the best and worst teams sometimes.

It just happens to the bad teams more often where they play poorly and DONT pull one out.

Let's be a good team and not a bad one.

Sure. I understand the concept that the good teams win the tough ones. However that should have never ben a tough one.

Yeah a team with no receivers and no OL has no excuse to Not crush every single team they play against...

Miami showed some resiliency yesterday. They were flat as hell to start the game. I chalk it up to they were coming off their bye and they didn't have Waddle. Bottom line is, it's a Win. I'm certain they'll "wake the F up" by next Monday night.

My view is the Jets got lucky that the Dolphins were playing without their best WR and their best safety and that the Dolphins were coming off a bye week and it took the team a half to start playing like they did prior to the bye week.

If not for the loss of two of their best players and a lapse after the bye, the Dolphins would likely have blown the Jets out yesterday.

The Saints game will be a harder game to win simply because the game is in New Orleans and the Saints are a better team than the Jets. If the Dolphins start as slowly as they did yesterday, they will likely lose next week. Yet if they get back to playing like they were playing before the bye week, they have a very good chance of beating the Saints.

Hopefully Holland and Waddle will be back this week and the Dolphins won’t get hit with more of their players being put on the Covid list.

We got lucky because Flores coached one of the worst games I've ever seen

Saying the OPPOSING team is lucky a teams coming off a bye week is some serious mental gymnastics.

Covid is why this game was close. You give Miami Holland and Waddle and Miami wins by 2 more touchdowns

Came out sluggish off the bye, got better as the game wore on.
Tua made couple uncharacteristic mistakes but based on what we have seen that was the exception.
With Waddle and Holland back next week and assusing no other players miss due to COVID, I like our chances vs NO and I think Tua is one of the reasons we win…..

In a week where the lions beat the cardinals I'll take a win vs a division rival regardless of how it looked. If you're going to have a game where you play poorly you might as well win it.

Everyone acting like the Jets are complete trash, they were down 13-6 in the 4th quarter of last week's game against the Saints before the Saints pulled away. The Saints just shut out Tom Brady.

I think the Dolphins really missed Waddle. The offense has been using him a ton during the winning streak and we have no similar player like him on the roster. I expect the Dolphins to be very competitive next week.

Scary to think that our team becomes one dimensional by having two rookies out. I know those particular rookies are amazing but still.

I don't understand "we got lucky and started running Duke." Looked more like a coaching decision

The point is we got lucky that Duke played as well as he did. Playing him was a coaching decision but he could've been as putrid as the rest of the RB room and if he had it might have cost us the win.

Wilson is a very athletic QB, Miami sacked him 6 times, not sure that's a foolish pass rush. The first series Miami played a very base defense with no blitzes. They only blitzed on 5 passing attempts in the first half. Wilson is the worst QB in the league against the blitz, Miami is one of the best blitzing teams in the league. IMO the coaches underestimated the Jets. The Jets also pulled all the tricks out of their bag in the first half, and once those were gone they were done. The offense scored 17 points by halfway through the second qtr, then Miami's defense started playing aggressive, more man less zone, and blitzing. The second half of the game they shut the Jets down.

The slow start IMO was more on the coaches and less on the players, bad game plan yesterday, luckily they made adjustments.
