Vikings are kinda Dolphinny in their ability to mess good things up (so it’ll probably be close for a while), but yes Jefferson will put up 200+ yards against these corners next week.
Well, to all the folks on this sub who wanted Skyler, hope you liked what you saw. Dudes clearly needs to develop. Hopefully teddy, or better yet, Tua comes back next week.
Absence of QB has been felt. Offense has no flow without him. Skylar looked like a 7th rounder out there. Not the worst we've ever seen, but not what we needed. Get healthy, get wins. Take the L and move on fam. Phins up!
Honestly, I think the kid has potential but was shitting himself inside. Conservative plays due to lack of confidence, and reps on snaps with that squad. We may never know! No big deal, we will rise.
Is that three games in a row Ingram has taken a face-masking penalty? Maybe instead of the usual veteran rest this week we work on some of that veteran rust and have him tackle in practice.
I can't get mad at Skylar. Dude is a rookie who got thrown into a really shitty situation with Teddy going down on our first offensive play. I am disappointed that we abandoned the run in the second half. We were successful there and then it just disappeared.
Shitty ass loss not because of the actual team but because of how winnable it was against all odds. Thought it'd be a close game. Thought we could win a gross ugly one with Teddy just barely doing enough. Instead he hurts his elbow and gets a head injury on the very first play of the game giving up a safety. Talk about shit luck. I'm not mad at the D giving up late in the 4th. I would have too after that Skylar fumble. It was a 19-17 entering the 4th Q not a pathetic beatdown all game.
Fuck me, I really hope Tua's first game back isn't Sunday night football. If he is even sneezed on they will shut him down. Better if anything happens it happens against Minnesota in an afternoon game no one is watching.
I'm not going to blame any QB who gets thrust in with zero reps, especially a rookie. I don't think you can say if he's anything special after this or not. Now if he looks like he did today after a full week of practice as the starter then I may agree with you
Look, say “cope” all you want, but no team is winning when their star LT, star CB, starting QB, and backup QB, are hurt. Jets deserve the win because they were the better team by far today.
Meh. That game was there for the taking. I’m not making excuses about that game, we threw it away with embarrassing play. Got to make tackles. The jets were better without being particularly good, aside from Hall.
All seriousness - the NFL needs to do something about MetLife field. Every year players complain about the garbage field/turf and every year teams suffer way more injuries than normal on that field. Shit is fucking terrible for the league.
My take away is that our defense line sucks. Like no good pressures or sacks. Also we have sucky depth. Look at Buffalo their depth is so good that they can still beat teams with players out. we cannot. Yes we were down to our third stringer but it's concerning to see we cannot tackle or get sacks on defense.
Wilson had 210 yards passing. It was not the the Howard injury that cost this game. Our front 7 struggle to stop the run and struggle mightily to create pressure on qbs. If you can't stop the run you're going to get abused.
Eh, the Jets beat a rookie 3rd string QB. If Miami was at full strength and still got blown out I’d be upset but with Tua and Teddy out along with both starting offensive tackles and both our starting CBs it was tough enough to begin with. They’ll be back next week when they get healthy.
Just went against us from the first minute. Everyone at fault for this loss. The Jets although, didn't look that great for the first 3 quarters they looked like they wanted it more from the get go. Skylar it's tough to point fingers at him. He looked like a rookie 3rd string QB. Defence played badly in the 2nd half, lots of bad penalties. McD also needs some criticism playing some random scrubs at critical moments cost us. End of the day if Tua doesn't come back quickly this season is going to be a what if season.
Everyone harping on Skylar the kid was a 7th round draft pick, has no reps with 1st team gets thrown in game at our own 2 yard line... and leads 2 scoring drives.. The kid only has a few months in the league, He actually did good for what he was thrown into. The defense on the other hand Boyer can't run Flores offense, we get blown up week after week on the outside running cover 0 and he can't adjust. With a good D especially against the Jets it's entirely possible to win that game with 19 points. Letting them put up 40 points is an obvious problem.
What’s disappointing is, regardless of who’s playing QB, this was the type of game where you look at the defense and say, “go win us this one”. Which they should be able to do against this Jets team. Failed miserably. Just F’ing terrible.
Conner dropped a first down catch on 3rd and long. We missed a long FG and the jets drove for a TD. Next drive, Skyler decided to loiter without intent in the pocket and eventually the Jets stripped the ball and set up another TD.
the skylar fumble sealed the game and defense couldn't stop the turnover score. It was kind of just whatever after that no matter what final score ended up being. That was game over.
and we’re back in the same place we’ve been for at least a decade… O line that is sus, and holding the defense can carry us while they are so exhausted they can’t complete a tackle.
No question Tua is better than Skylar, but we also need to do something about this Oline’s pass protection and our suddenly porous defense or Tua’s return isn’t going to matter.
Gesicki is just eating up cap space at this point - he's not suited to McDaniel's scheme of relying on the TE to block - he got waltzed all the way back to the QB on that sack. He is a liability for us when he's out on the field if he is expected to block. Not down on Gesicki, just disappointed that he doesn't fit in this offense and he's eating up cap space getting shoved around (TD in Ravens game not withstanding). Not sure if McD will adapt or if the scheme allows for a mostly pass-catching TE.
We’re not winning any games with our QB3, but there were still a lot of other issues after a 10 day break. We need Tua back, but the defense needs a massive improvement as well.
This team is showing we lack depth if anyone goes down. NFLPA getting paid off didn’t help. Our O-line is awful, Our kicker is unreliable, Defense can’t tackle whatsoever. Sloppy play all around. Refs waiting to call anything on us. Very curious to see the comparisons in penalties as it feels like we had twice as many.
We had twice as many because we couldn’t keep our hands down when making a tackle. We actually got gifted a couple pass interference calls and one that they could have called on us but didn’t. Refs were the least of our issues
Stop with the doom and gloom. This team is exactly where I thought we'd be best case scenario after the first quarter and we are still on pace to win 9+ games.
We didn’t lose to injuries, it was 19-17 going into the 4th. The Jets straight up beat us. Our front 7 has to be better at stopping the run and inversely on the other side Mike should've stuck with the run more.
Can anyone tell me what exactly the concussion protocol is now? I didn't see any concussion signs from Teddy on the field and they said he passed all the tests, so why was he ruled out?
Even with the injuries we came into the game with, I think we could've won with qb2. Either way, gameplay was filthy especially after extra days of rest. Lots to work on in practice this coming week, like tackling. I still think we'll be fine this season if we stay healthy.
I’m just upset. We all know this teams potential, but these injuries are absolutely killing us (mainly offense). We should be beating teams like the Jets and Bengals.
I thought I saw him mouth "smelling salts" on the sideline after that touchdown run. Still, even though he beat us, I wasn't overly impressed with his play. It was pretty pedestrian, but that may be by design.
Bills fans gonna be like: “DoN’t BlAmE iT oN InJuRiEs”, as if missing a secondary is the same as going down to your QB3, having both starting OTs out, and our two best playmakers couldn’t practice all week and barely made it through the game. Acting like the situations are remotely similar is asinine. Injury bug is fucking is hard right now.
This is bills fan level energy man. Every team gets injuries. We need more depth. You can’t expect to win with a 3rd string QB but we gave up 40 to the jets.
The score is not an accurate representation of how close it was. That dropped first down and missed FG shifted momentum. OL is dead last, and no matter who's back there will fail. Running game should have been the focal point. It was abandoned. And defense can't tackle for shit. If you want to blame Skylar, go ahead. But let me stop you. He had all this going against him and did well. He will practice with the 1s this week, and the game plan will be better suited for him to run and use his strengths. He is a VERY different QB than Teddy and he will need a solid practice for the next game. I am not discouraged at all. Tua will be back after the next game and we can make the wildcard.
Going to have to eat crow on the Skylar vs Teddy argument. Tough to come in as a backup like that but we need either Tua or Teddy back next week for a chance. Score wasnt indicative of how close the game was but that happens. Dropped pass by Conner on the missed fg drive changed the game
It's a loss and you move on. I would rather players hurt now then at the end of the season. Hopefully, we'll get healthy. Defense though looked horrible today.
Why the hell was the defense giving up that many points after a 10 day break. They should be well rested even if X and Byron are both out, completely inexcusable and must be publicly addressed.
I’m on the Boyer has been bad train, but there’s not much he can do. Ogbah is absolutely useless. Phillips has done absolutely nothing. Ingram has been pretty good. The defensive effort is there, flying around the field and making tackles, but they’re not generating any pressure vs some really bad o-lines. If he’s not blitzing we are getting torched.
I’m annoyed at this game but it is what it is, this is still a good team. We’ll get reinforcements next game and hopefully Tua back too. At 3-2, we’re still right on track for our goals this season even if this loss stings
Ehh, Sklyar had time on lots of throws but he couldn't seem to pull the trigger on throws. Maybe guys weren't open, but it seemed like an eternity on a few plays - probably more related to still learning the offense and speed of a regular NFL game. Would love to see the All-22 to see if guys were open and he just wasn't capable of making the progression reads
Did we sell our collective souls in prior lives? Are we destined to being mediocre and constantly having our hopes dashed? That feeling of seasons past us starting to creep in peeps, help me
Was at the game, it was my first NFL game since Week 17 of 2014 (when we also lost to the Jets :|). Had a ton of fun, and it was so nice to see the team in person again, but my god did it ever look like the offense was missing Tua out there. Credit to Raheem Mostert though, heck of a game for him. Minnesota next week will not be easy by any means, we need some of our injured guys back.
We need X and Bryon Jones back for the vikings or we are screwed
Vikings are kinda Dolphinny in their ability to mess good things up (so it’ll probably be close for a while), but yes Jefferson will put up 200+ yards against these corners next week.
Well, to all the folks on this sub who wanted Skyler, hope you liked what you saw. Dudes clearly needs to develop. Hopefully teddy, or better yet, Tua comes back next week.
Can teddy even come back next week. Since he apparently had a concussion
Bro I'm eating this L so hard. I was a Skylar stan.
My number one takeaway is there should be 0 question around tuas place on our team
Oh no just plug the 7th round pick in…”he’s a franchise qb”…”best qb on the roster”…smh idiots.
I’m old enough to remember when people wanted Skylar to take Teddy’s spot. And even a few weeks prior when he was going to take Tua’s job.
There is still question though: his health. He hasnt played a full season since High School.
Hopefully this ends all debate on starting “preseason mvps”
For sure, when he is healthy he is pretty damn good, but man he is perpetually dinged up, and he is still young. It isnt getting any better
Absence of QB has been felt. Offense has no flow without him. Skylar looked like a 7th rounder out there. Not the worst we've ever seen, but not what we needed. Get healthy, get wins. Take the L and move on fam. Phins up!
Skylar played like a 3rd string QB. Didn’t really help but also didn’t lose us this game. Defense is turkey shit.
Honestly, I think the kid has potential but was shitting himself inside. Conservative plays due to lack of confidence, and reps on snaps with that squad. We may never know! No big deal, we will rise.
So much for those 10 days of rest being an advantage.
Shows you how important Tua is
Fins are hella beat up..
Dolphins country, let’s die.
I never want to hear Tua slander again. COMPLETELY different team without him. We've seen it with Jacoby, Teddy, Skylar.
I wanna see the updated record with Tua starting vs not starting. I forget what it is
And yet I'm still seeing awful takes in the comments demanding we replace Tua and blaming this loss on him. Some haters are hopeless.
Ive never slandered him but I worry about his durability. We can’t have a qb that misses games every year.
Yes but he can’t stay healthy?
What was the main thing Flores targeted to make his defense work? Cornerbacks..
Even worse, iggy had to play. That’s like giving the other team a 12th offensive player
Being a Dolphins fan: When the other shoe drops, it's a goddamn steel plate mail boot.
This was horrible but it's also a game we can write off as "just one of those games."
Losing Teddy then Armstrong was a huge disadvantage right away.
Is that three games in a row Ingram has taken a face-masking penalty? Maybe instead of the usual veteran rest this week we work on some of that veteran rust and have him tackle in practice.
I can't get mad at Skylar. Dude is a rookie who got thrown into a really shitty situation with Teddy going down on our first offensive play. I am disappointed that we abandoned the run in the second half. We were successful there and then it just disappeared.
Worst tackling miami dolphin team I've ever seen, hands down!
Worst tackling you’ve seen…so far.
Shitty ass loss not because of the actual team but because of how winnable it was against all odds. Thought it'd be a close game. Thought we could win a gross ugly one with Teddy just barely doing enough. Instead he hurts his elbow and gets a head injury on the very first play of the game giving up a safety. Talk about shit luck. I'm not mad at the D giving up late in the 4th. I would have too after that Skylar fumble. It was a 19-17 entering the 4th Q not a pathetic beatdown all game.
Fuck me, I really hope Tua's first game back isn't Sunday night football. If he is even sneezed on they will shut him down. Better if anything happens it happens against Minnesota in an afternoon game no one is watching.
I'm not going to blame any QB who gets thrust in with zero reps, especially a rookie. I don't think you can say if he's anything special after this or not. Now if he looks like he did today after a full week of practice as the starter then I may agree with you
The super pats got their ass kicked by us with 2 wins that year. Shit happens in the NFL
Well. This has been a pretty awful last 10 days of being a Dolphins fan, eh? Hard to imagine a much worse sequence of events after the Bills win.
Damn even the Hurricanes had a bad few weeks too.
I've never seen a team miss so many tackles, holy fuck.
On a day we needed the Defense to step up, they shit the bed. That's so Dolphins.
Our defense was starting an UDFA at CB1
Hard to believe at one point we had a chance to go ahead in this game
Tua beats the Bills and Ravens where his replacements lose to the Bengals and Jets. Tua is the future. Hope he is back by next weekend.
We can make all the excuses we want but at the end of the day we played awful, take it on the chin and learn from the mistakes, onto Minnesota
That was some dog shit. A total bummer of a 4th quarter. We were supposed to blow it out of the gate on them, dammit!
FUNNY how Teddy passed concussion tests and was still ruled out with a concussion? the UNCs are terrified of making a bad call against us..
New rules because of what happened last week. although I didn’t see him stumble.
Thursday night football against the Bengals absolutely fucked our whole team…
Team fought hard. Can’t do much with a rookie 3rd string QB.
People where hoping for some Disney type miracle 😂
2018 started 3-0 finished 7-9 please god not again
You’re right. This time we can end up 7-10.
What a shitty game, but it happens. Lots of bad luck. Oh well, Jets were the better team today, we just need to bounce back.
Look, say “cope” all you want, but no team is winning when their star LT, star CB, starting QB, and backup QB, are hurt. Jets deserve the win because they were the better team by far today.
Meh. That game was there for the taking. I’m not making excuses about that game, we threw it away with embarrassing play. Got to make tackles. The jets were better without being particularly good, aside from Hall.
All seriousness - the NFL needs to do something about MetLife field. Every year players complain about the garbage field/turf and every year teams suffer way more injuries than normal on that field. Shit is fucking terrible for the league.
The Johnsons have said they have no problem putting in grass. Mara is the one stopping it. We all agree, it's awful.
We got beat, I'm not gonna doomsday this. We'll see them again come January, but gotta get healthy.
My take away is that our defense line sucks. Like no good pressures or sacks. Also we have sucky depth. Look at Buffalo their depth is so good that they can still beat teams with players out. we cannot. Yes we were down to our third stringer but it's concerning to see we cannot tackle or get sacks on defense.
We need Tua. ASAP.
My love for Tua grows more everyday
I demand an investigation into the NFLPA/"independent concussion spotters" and why Teddy wasn't allowed back into the game
The whole fucking process is a mess at this point. Luckily it’s all theatrics and in a few weeks nobody will care.
Wilson had 210 yards passing. It was not the the Howard injury that cost this game. Our front 7 struggle to stop the run and struggle mightily to create pressure on qbs. If you can't stop the run you're going to get abused.
The run blocking was fine today and would’ve scored quite a bit in conjunction with a healthy Tua.
Still waiting for the defense to tackle someone.
Rumor has it, they are still Running with the ball
Igbo experiment should be over. He should be demoted to practice squad. He's never going to amount to anything
it is insane how valuable Tua is to this team
Eh, the Jets beat a rookie 3rd string QB. If Miami was at full strength and still got blown out I’d be upset but with Tua and Teddy out along with both starting offensive tackles and both our starting CBs it was tough enough to begin with. They’ll be back next week when they get healthy.
with the offensive line this shitty, do we want Tua back? You want to risk that?
With OL banged up, not sure to want Tua to play on next Sunday, risking another injury.
Bright spot - this should sufficiently shut the anti-Tua / “Teddy and Skylar are both better” crowd up.
Injuries aside, that's back to back defensive meltdowns in the 4th quarter. Noah is lost, he's an active hindrance to actual football players.
I’m most upset at myself for believing this Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown team wouldn’t ruin my weekends anymore.
Injured ass team im not even mad
Exactly, I had 0 expectations after teddy and armsted went down
Don't worry loser Jets fans think they are the shit in their post game thread.
Jets beat the dolphins without qb1, qb2, cb1, cb2 and LT1. Not complicated what happened
Not to mention the cheetah and penguin were playing hurt
Just went against us from the first minute. Everyone at fault for this loss. The Jets although, didn't look that great for the first 3 quarters they looked like they wanted it more from the get go. Skylar it's tough to point fingers at him. He looked like a rookie 3rd string QB. Defence played badly in the 2nd half, lots of bad penalties. McD also needs some criticism playing some random scrubs at critical moments cost us. End of the day if Tua doesn't come back quickly this season is going to be a what if season.
Everyone harping on Skylar the kid was a 7th round draft pick, has no reps with 1st team gets thrown in game at our own 2 yard line... and leads 2 scoring drives..

With a good D especially against the Jets it's entirely possible to win that game with 19 points. Letting them put up 40 points is an obvious problem.
This may be a very unpopular opinion but based on some limited
What’s disappointing is, regardless of who’s playing QB, this was the type of game where you look at the defense and say, “go win us this one”. Which they should be able to do against this Jets team. Failed miserably. Just F’ing terrible.
When teddy went down and Armstead as well I knew this was game. I had the feeling.
We'll be okay. I truly believe that. This season wasn't gonna be without its bumps
Josh Boyer is a bozo.
I’ve been gone. Checked the score in the third quarter down by two. Not too bad, hopefully they can pull out the win…what the hell happened?
Conner dropped a first down catch on 3rd and long. We missed a long FG and the jets drove for a TD. Next drive, Skyler decided to loiter without intent in the pocket and eventually the Jets stripped the ball and set up another TD.
the skylar fumble sealed the game and defense couldn't stop the turnover score. It was kind of just whatever after that no matter what final score ended up being. That was game over.
We hung in there for 3 quarters with our 3rd string QB. Maybe if field goal is made we steal that game.
Just one of those games, when you dont wanna wake up...
Tua is the heart of the team
and we’re back in the same place we’ve been for at least a decade… O line that is sus, and holding the defense can carry us while they are so exhausted they can’t complete a tackle.
No question Tua is better than Skylar, but we also need to do something about this Oline’s pass protection and our suddenly porous defense or Tua’s return isn’t going to matter.
Gesicki is just eating up cap space at this point - he's not suited to McDaniel's scheme of relying on the TE to block - he got waltzed all the way back to the QB on that sack. He is a liability for us when he's out on the field if he is expected to block. Not down on Gesicki, just disappointed that he doesn't fit in this offense and he's eating up cap space getting shoved around (TD in Ravens game not withstanding). Not sure if McD will adapt or if the scheme allows for a mostly pass-catching TE.
At the end of the day we had our 3rd string qb, the Bills at least still had Allen.
We’re not winning any games with our QB3, but there were still a lot of other issues after a 10 day break. We need Tua back, but the defense needs a massive improvement as well.
The defence is what has been holding the fort for the last few games with backups. But they’ll break if it goes on for too long in a game.
The only concerning thing about this loss was the penalties. Team just looked unprepared honestly.
Penalties, dropped passes. The team looks very undisciplined. McD will need to address.
Can the mods please do something about the brigading in here?
Report any trolling comments, and they will be removed.
This team is showing we lack depth if anyone goes down. NFLPA getting paid off didn’t help. Our O-line is awful, Our kicker is unreliable, Defense can’t tackle whatsoever. Sloppy play all around. Refs waiting to call anything on us. Very curious to see the comparisons in penalties as it feels like we had twice as many.
We had twice as many because we couldn’t keep our hands down when making a tackle. We actually got gifted a couple pass interference calls and one that they could have called on us but didn’t. Refs were the least of our issues
Tua needs to come back next week or we'll be 3-3
I think we all knew we were pretenders before this week.
One day I will look back on the first quarter of this game and laugh at how literally everything went comically wrong
[удалено]
Stop with the doom and gloom. This team is exactly where I thought we'd be best case scenario after the first quarter and we are still on pace to win 9+ games.
Tough to agree the defense is worse without Flores. It is obviously worse without Byron Jones, and Xavien Howard, though.
Fuck the Bills
We didn’t lose to injuries, it was 19-17 going into the 4th. The Jets straight up beat us. Our front 7 has to be better at stopping the run and inversely on the other side Mike should've stuck with the run more.
The team also wasted a Raheem Mostert masterclass
Can anyone tell me what exactly the concussion protocol is now? I didn't see any concussion signs from Teddy on the field and they said he passed all the tests, so why was he ruled out?
The spotter pulled him out. It will be interesting to see if any other QB was pulled by the spotter this week...
Forgot how much I hate this feeling of losing to the Jets. It’s been so long
Oh boy..
The lack of turnovers created is a huge concern.
The shittiest thing is that we don’t even know if we can rely on Teddy as our starter. He got one FUBAR play. Terrible.
NEED TO REGROUP ASAP !! Vikings won't be a walk in the park
Even with the injuries we came into the game with, I think we could've won with qb2. Either way, gameplay was filthy especially after extra days of rest. Lots to work on in practice this coming week, like tackling. I still think we'll be fine this season if we stay healthy.
Honestly expected a loss here with everything going on. Was going to put money on the jets but just couldn't bring myself to do it.
Will it or has it come out as to what reason Teddy was pulled? I understand it was because of the new guidelines but what exact criteria did he meet?
Dressed in aqua and orange uniform I think
He passed the test but I guess someone made up that he wobbled? I don’t remember seeing anything like it tho.
The spotter saw "something", and that's all it takes with the new protocol.
Jets won this one, we just have to be ready for the next game phins up.
What’s with all the drops this year?
I’m just upset. We all know this teams potential, but these injuries are absolutely killing us (mainly offense). We should be beating teams like the Jets and Bengals.
Buckle up for 10-7 boys
Still can't get how the defenders just forgot how to tackle
Are you happy now Tua haters this is what you wanted congrats and it sucks
Pretty sure Tua haters didn't want to get a questionable back up, have him injured on the first play and then get our ass beat fielding our 3rd lol
We sucked later half of the game. It was winnable. We fumbled it.
I’m confused how Teddy had to get checked and ruled out while Wilson took shots to the head and apparently everything is a-ok?
I thought I saw him mouth "smelling salts" on the sideline after that touchdown run. Still, even though he beat us, I wasn't overly impressed with his play. It was pretty pedestrian, but that may be by design.
I don’t think Gesicki’s a Dolphin next year
We need to find an NFC team that needs a somewhat one-dimensional but excellent pass catching tight end.
Not excited to go watch Skylar next week at home. Dude sucks.
If Byron jones and X out for the Vikings game Justin Jefferson gonna ball tf out
Joe Burrows only beaten backup QBs this year.
[удалено]
Bills fans gonna be like: “DoN’t BlAmE iT oN InJuRiEs”, as if missing a secondary is the same as going down to your QB3, having both starting OTs out, and our two best playmakers couldn’t practice all week and barely made it through the game. Acting like the situations are remotely similar is asinine. Injury bug is fucking is hard right now.
Meh we gave them shit for moaning about injuries. The fact is we threw this game away with bad play. The performance was unacceptable.
We didn't have our starting secondary on top of every thing you listed
This is bills fan level energy man. Every team gets injuries. We need more depth. You can’t expect to win with a 3rd string QB but we gave up 40 to the jets.
The score is not an accurate representation of how close it was. That dropped first down and missed FG shifted momentum. OL is dead last, and no matter who's back there will fail.

He is a VERY different QB than Teddy and he will need a solid practice for the next game. I am not discouraged at all. Tua will be back after the next game and we can make the wildcard.
So much for our defense being elite
Without an otherworldly turnover rate, our defense has always been pretty bad.
Shout out to Mostert for being the only member of the playing or coaching staff who didn’t embarrass himself today.
Pretty clear Tua is the NFL MVP thus far.
Going to have to eat crow on the Skylar vs Teddy argument. Tough to come in as a backup like that but we need either Tua or Teddy back next week for a chance. Score wasnt indicative of how close the game was but that happens. Dropped pass by Conner on the missed fg drive changed the game
It's a loss and you move on. I would rather players hurt now then at the end of the season. Hopefully, we'll get healthy. Defense though looked horrible today.
Defense has taken a step back this year. Also 2 games in a row where it’s close entering the 4th but the opps run away with it
Patriots won with Bailey Zappe. No excuse we lose that game.
Why the hell was the defense giving up that many points after a 10 day break. They should be well rested even if X and Byron are both out, completely inexcusable and must be publicly addressed.
Anyone else on the Skylar or Teddy trains? Not anymore huh lmfao
The defensive front is shit, Skylar is NOT it, we are nothing without Tua
I'm sure the kid had 0 practice with our starting tackels out he was under a lot of distress
no post game thread please.
3rd place in the division now. This feels eerily similar to 2018 after the 3-0 start then too.
I’m on the Boyer has been bad train, but there’s not much he can do. Ogbah is absolutely useless. Phillips has done absolutely nothing. Ingram has been pretty good. The defensive effort is there, flying around the field and making tackles, but they’re not generating any pressure vs some really bad o-lines. If he’s not blitzing we are getting torched.
...are they making tackles?
I’m annoyed at this game but it is what it is, this is still a good team. We’ll get reinforcements next game and hopefully Tua back too. At 3-2, we’re still right on track for our goals this season even if this loss stings
Getting that H2H with the Bills will be HUGE
What reinforcements are you referencing?
I was really hoping Teddy would come in and play well and allow us to slow walk Tua back. Now it’s emergency mode to get him back
Welp. It was a fun three weeks. Can't wait to miss the playoffs by one game. Standard Fins bullshit
About the same yards gained and we got blown out. Feels bad
We need to get healthy QUICK if we want to take advantage of the manageable schedule in front of us. Tua and both our CBs are dearly needed.
WELP
We’ve got some work to do.
Not some but yes
Injuries aren’t going to magically fix themselves next week so it’s gonna be some more tough games ahead.
I miss you Tua, come back soon
Just a complete disaster. Only question that remains is how badly it ruins our season.
Issues that need to be addressed are missed tackling, run game, pass protection and can we get all of our receivers involved and not a select few.
4 defensive face mask calls? WTF with that? Teach tackling this week
this proves that if Tua is out we need to play Teddy instead of Skylar, no matter how many nephews think Teddy is trash
At least the run game looked good
My postgame thoughts...
Ehh, Sklyar had time on lots of throws but he couldn't seem to pull the trigger on throws. Maybe guys weren't open, but it seemed like an eternity on a few plays - probably more related to still learning the offense and speed of a regular NFL game. Would love to see the All-22 to see if guys were open and he just wasn't capable of making the progression reads
Did we sell our collective souls in prior lives? Are we destined to being mediocre and constantly having our hopes dashed? That feeling of seasons past us starting to creep in peeps, help me
I remember a long time ago when we were 3-0. And the 49ers pick was looking like a top 5 pick. Those were the good days haha.
Sanders needs to go
Tell me magic 8 ball, are we going to look like the laughing stock of the NFL on Sunday night vs the Steelers?
If Skylar has to start next week we need Ezukanma on the field as his anxiety blanket.
who do we want to win this sunday night game?
Pain.
I could have lived with losing to the Bills or Ravens. They're good teams. But getting blown out ...by the Jets? Man, this is a tough one to swallow.
Was at the game, it was my first NFL game since Week 17 of 2014 (when we also lost to the Jets :|). Had a ton of fun, and it was so nice to see the team in person again, but my god did it ever look like the offense was missing Tua out there. Credit to Raheem Mostert though, heck of a game for him. Minnesota next week will not be easy by any means, we need some of our injured guys back.
Is it me or did Skylar look like he didn’t know how to throw a ball, it looked like late piss poor thrown wobbly balls that were easily telegraphed
Here’s a weird fact: We have one of the worst defenses in the league.
