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.

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

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.

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.

But is it McDaniel or Tua?

I haven't watched enough Dolphins football this season to have an opinion.

(thank God) 🤢

Defense sucked because tepper made him switch to a 3 4 neutralizing a ball of fame MLB and making him retire. fug you Dave

      Tetairoa McMillan - Your 2025 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year - (Welp... Guess I Was Right)

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The bottom line is we saw long stretches this season where T-Mac wasn't even targeted.  He had games where he went an entire half without seeing a pass thrown his way, and it lead to a bunch of games with 5 or less targets.  If he's healthy and we're not up a stupid amount and only running the ball, I can't see him having more than a game or two next year with 5 or less targets. We were also only 22nd this year in pass attempts, and that was with a rookie #1 and no legitimate 2nd option for half the season.  And even then, we were only 46 pass attempts above 31st place. If we go into next season with T-Mac improved in his 2nd season and a healthy Coker for 17 games, there is absolutely no reason for us to not throw it more.  That right away increases both of their target totals without sacrificing any targets from each other or other players, add in them taking targets from the TEs and RBs on top of that, and your argument just doesn't hold water anymore. You can't look at targets/yards in a vacuum and think next year Coker just takes some from T-Mac.  You have to look at the team as a whole and our situations this year and then project what will happen next year. If he's healthy for 17 games, I'd bet my life savings that T-Mac sees increases across the board, targets/catches/yards/TDs.   Just as Coker will also see career highs in all categories, it's not one vs the other, it's shifting offensive strategy given our personnel, which next year will be much better for our passing game (QB issues aside).

      C'mon now.... First, you can't switch up your argument once someone points out a major flaw in your point. You're saying we shouldn't expect a big increase in targets/yards for T-Mac, but then shift to talking about averages with Chase when I point out the significant leap he took there once you factor in his missing games.  He saw an increase in targets in 5 less games, averages aside, he saw a significant increase in targets in his 2nd season, what he then did with those targets is actually irrelevant in this discussion. Puka seeing no increase is pointless, as he saw such an absurd amount of targets for a rookie, it's near impossible to see an increase. But the real issue in this post is that you think I'm proving your point by showing how Waddle had to share targets with Hill. Tyreek Hill was a 1st team All Pro who was 2nd in the NFL in yards that season. If you think Jaylen Waddle sharing targets with a 1st team All Pro and a future HOFer is even remotely in the same category as T-Mac needing to share targets with Coker... then you are certifiably insane, lol. If anything, you could make the argument that Coker is to Waddle as T-Mac is to Hill in that discussion (which would then lead to a serious increase in targets/yards for T-Mac).  But even that is insane, as neither T-Mac or Coker will be as good as Hill and Waddle respectively that season.  I love both of their potential, but c'mon now, T-Mac isn't getting 119 catches for 1,700 yards and Coker isn't getting 117 for 1,350 next season.
