Yeah we’re going to have to sweep Saints for sure in order to get to 7 wins 

Must wins are Jets, Saints x2 then we’ll have to surprise someone like Dallas, Tampa at home maybe? Maybe we go win in Atlanta again but I doubt it 

The Jets are also probably looking at the game against us as their one real shot at not going 0-17 so there’s that

Oh yeah, if the Jets lose again this week, we are toast.  They will be licking their chops.  Atlanta in their house?  Nah man, they rough us up down there even when we are good.  Besides, they will have a HUGE chip on their shoulder from their beat down at BOA.  I say the closest thing to a sure win the rest of the season will be the Saints in Charlotte.  Outside of that, have a seat on the struggle bus, it's going to be a long season.

Have you watched the jets play this year?

they don’t have anything to lick. 

Something has to give, either we notch road win #2 in the Bryce young era or they get a home victory versus a horrible road team.  If this game were in Charlotte, I'd give us the edge.  Just like if the game yesterday was in Florida, there's no way we come back.

Before the game started, my wife and I were discussing the team and if anything was going to happen for them. And my take is that this was going to be one of those games where you're going to learn where each of the teams are headed. The Dolphins have been in a downward spiral, we've been trying to break out of the cellar we've been living in.

A Dolphin win on the road might pull their team out of the dive and save their coach's job. It could bring them back to some sort of upward or at least leveling off trajectory. A Dolphin win would probably also completely crush the Panthers hopes for any growth this season and put Canales and crew on notice that it was time to polish up the resume`.

A Panthers win would buy Canales more time and would give the players, owners and fanbase something to buy into, one more step up the stairs leading out of the darkness and maybe, just maybe back into a competitive light. A Panthers win would probably mean that one or more heads were probably going to roll sooner rather than later in Miami's coaching staff. 

That first quarter... man, that first quarter... it said every damned thing we've been saying here for the last three seasons. There was no longer any denying it. And then we found ourselves down 17-zip.

And then, well, THAT happened.

Canales coached that team into a comeback, the second largest in Panthers history, on a day when there was every danged reason to pack it in and call it a day. He'll survive this week. I'm not so sure Miami isn't having a called to the carpet moment this morning.

We aren't out of cellar yet. But it's looking better. Holding serve on the home field gets you a lot in the NFL. 

Let's enjoy the win. They've been rare.

Our schedule is fugin brutal after the next two weeks. It would be so funny to get above 500 so the radio guys can go crazy with playoff talk before reality sets in

Even though this week's game is at home, I don't think we beat the Cowboys unless the defense can keep Dak rattled. If Dak gets dialed in, this thing could get ugly.

      PFF Grades vs Dolphins

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah I am sure you are right. Every week it seems there is something whacky in those numbers they post. I like my simple eyeball test, been watching over 60;years. I know when someone loses or wins a matchup or performs above or sucks.  When WR and QB aren’t in sync, I can’t know who was suppose to do what all the time and don’t try to say. Defensive coverages blown, I don’t always know that either.. so I am imperfect.  I think PFF is too. No big deal. It’s fun looking at the grades anyway.

      PFF Grades vs Dolphins

      By electro's horse · Posted

      The secret with PFF is they are specifically opaque because they traded in their once good reputation to poo out next day madden grades for monday morning desk warriors who want something to click on. It takes NFL teams about 36 hours to fully grade every play from their own team, and those are the coaches who know what all of the play calls are, who all of the players are, are professionals at their jobs, and have a staff of interns helping them do it.  I know people that do this for PFF. There are some people that are smart and good and know what they're talking about, but they're rare. And even in the case of people that have football experience, they don't know the plays. They have an idea of the plays. This is to say nothing about the idiots who played one year of JV ball and never saw the field and can't get over it. That's what the most of PFF is.  These grades are completely worthless.
