Hey, at least it ain't us

Boy, have the Dolphins (especially McDaniel and Tua) ever hit the skids.

[Waldo]

That's us after they extend Bryce so Im not going to laugh until we dodge thst bullet. And they were loaded before they paid their not good enough/injury prone QB

Woof. I watched that game. The Dolphins really are that bad. So bad that for all the praise that the Ravens got last night, I've got to wonder if we just saw them successfully punching their way out of a paper bag.

Ravens could have piled it on if they wanted to but they basically hit the brakes in the 3rd.

The funny part is that the Dolphins missed a 35 yard FG, had a turnover in the red zone and didn’t get a 4th and 2 in the red zone. They also had a BS tripping call on a pass that wiped out a Waddle reception to the Baltimore 7 yard line.

28-18 if they just got FGs on those red zone drives/aborted drives. Some better play calls and it could have easily been a game. Again, I think the Ravens could have scored more if needed, but the Dolphins (and refs) blew a lot of scoring opportunities last night.

I concur. The fish were close, yet so far. I really learned nothing new about the Ravens last night. I don't know if they're improving, or if they're just a sucky team this season largely living off of reputation.

Somebody was going to. Not sure if McDaniels survives the season there. And they'd be letting a good coach go.

I read it in the Athletic, they said coach was safe for the season. Probably gone then though.

When you’re supposed to be an offensive guru type hc and your offense stinks, you’re in trouble. Just like Ron’s time was up here once the defense sucked.

Yeah, right now there needs to be a culture shift there. I think the coach lost the lead roll in that a while back and there has been a vacuum there since the real team lead went on IR.

And if you don't know what I mean, it was the guy that once ran his sports car away from the cops to the team facilities rather than get a speeding and reckless driving ticket. And somehow got away with it, with no repercussions.

I didn’t know what you meant so, that was needed. Yeah that kind of culture is pretty toxic.  
If the HC is an offensive genius, okay, but he is a very weird duck. I saw him answering some questions a couple of years ago and he just didn’t seem like the head coach type. Off the wall answers.
