Tua named Dolphins starter. First game vs Rams.

[NoCoNite]

I agree with this. But are we really a top 5 defense right now, at this moment in time? I don't think so, not with Fuller out. Seems to me like our secondary has been Jeckle & Hyde, and the Hyde looks have mostly been when we don't have Fuller back there with JJ.

IMO Fuller & JJ have been absolutely killing it. The dropoff is real.

No our defense isn’t top 5 we played a bunch of bums. Aaron Donald has 3 dudes looking at him every play and we can’t create some havoc when it’s 10v8. It’s ridiculous that we can’t create pressure every snap with Aaron Donald on the field. Are outside line backers are bums. Brockers just more cold than hot. And have a bunch of undrafted and late picks playing the other positions.

we got exposed Sunday. Teams can just do what they need to do to slow down Donald and the other can’t do shit.

AD and Kiser are the only guys in our front 7 that play with pride. San Frans not even good and they just ran down the field like nothing.

Bums maybe, but compared to how these teams played other teams??
Held teams to half of their average PPG (or more):
Dallas 4 games (with Dak) - 36.6 PPG, against the Rams 17
Giants 5 games - 18.4 PPG, against Rams 9
Washington FBC 5 games - 19.9 PPG, against Rams 10
Held teams to below their average PPG:
Eagles 5 games - 24.4 PPG, against Rams 19
49ers 5 games - 24.8 PPG, against Rams 24
And then their is the outlier....
Bills 5 games - 24.2 PPG, against Rams 35

Baltimore is #1 in defense PPG allowed, and they faced 2 of the same "bums" (Philly and Wash) and gave up 45 combined points while the Rams only allowed 29

They probably looked at how bad our pass D is and said let's start him then

We swept a division that has a combined 5 wins. Then got manhandled by the only teams we’ve played with winning records.

we beat bums.

22 over those eagles points came in garbage time while they were down 24-6. That’s a bad stat to bring up.

before garbage time the score between Washington vs the ravens
and the eagles is 52-16

In the first half maybe. Saying they got manhandled is a bit much. The Whiner game was a disaster for many reasons but we still had a chance to win the game in both of our losses down to the very end... literally in Buffalo's case.

I don't know how to feel about this.

Color me concerned...For many, many years, I've suffered from Elvis Grbac syndrome...

Seattle is 5-0, hasnt beaten a team with a winning record
Arizona is 4-2, hasnt beaten a team with a winning record
Are they beating just bums?

We're one of the top pass defenses in the NFL.

 

[Jacobarch]

We're one of the top pass defenses in the NFL.

Not in the two games we lost. Against the only two decent teams we played. I want to see how we do against Chicago then I'll start believing

 

[RhodyRams]

Dont stop believing

hold on to that feeling

 

[Memento]

I actually like Tua. I think he's a very talented quarterback. I don't see the wisdom of throwing him into the fire when Fitzpatrick is playing well.

We've played 6 games. You can't ignore all the good ones and focus only on the bad ones. We held Dak to a very mediocre outing.

I picture tuna when I see his name. Not the former coach either.

The seahawks no.
The cardinals lost to the lions and panthers and beat the same teams we did So yea. I don’t get the point you’re trying to make.

 

[OC--LeftCoast]

Our odds for Victory increased over this

 

[FrenchRams]

I’m really curious to see how he will perform for his 1st nfl start, i really enjoyed his highlights at Bama, and i wish him the best for his career...but a lost for this game !

About our defense, i seriously think that we’re gonna be more impactful against the Dolphins, their Oline is not as good as the Niners one.

Neither team has beaten a team with a winning record
