The Phines lost a CB during the game so maybe that had something to do with it also. Our OL isn't opening up much running room.

We might blow this.

Teddy is the man. No he's not because he sucks. This DC needs to be fired now. Tell him to get his own flight back. Talk about a loser.

Another win over a team full of injuries. But a win is a win. We are very lucky to have no injuries.

Our secondary cannot compete with speed. Miami killed themselves with penalties also.
That rookie QB was owning us in the 1st qtr. Best thing that could have happened for us was Teddy coming in.
Glad to be 5-1... Not thrilled with Donatell !

We won and are 5-1 in spite of our deficiencies. Every team has weak links, the good ones figure out how to scheme around them. So far we are doing a good job of adjusting and finding ways to win. If they fall off the cliff and start losing we'll address that when it happens.

Eh, idk how much I buy that argument simply because I feel like we didnt try to run a whole lot in general that game. Against better DLs, good backs succeed off volume more often than not. Cook had like 8 carries at one point late in the game. And Mattison was also barely used. So overall, we didnt really attack the run like we should have IMO. I'm not complaining by any means, just would like to see some more balance. You cant constantly run play action when you're constantly not giving your main back the ball. Kind of defeats the purpose. I feel like we got better running the ball and finding balance as of late but this game was definitely less running than normal.

Same here but looking back, we just beat a team with the best WR duo in the league, stats wise.
