Week 9 Discussion (Other Teams)

[A Fish Called Yanda]

I was going to wait for JO to start the thread, but I wanted to start bashing the Bengals a little early this week.

 

First up Cincinnati (6-2) at Miami (3-4).  Really hoping Miami pulls this one out to help us out a bit.  Miami's o-line definitely looked better last week with the addition of McKinnie - so hopefully Ryan Tennehill will spend a little less time eating dirt than when he encountered our dominating pass rush.

Go Dolphins!

Week 9 is here and it kicks off with an AFC Clash between the Bengals and Dolphins. The Dolphins missed out on a huge upset to keep the AFC East Title race close but a win tonight and a win by the Steelers will most certainly keep them in the hunt. The Sunday Night game sees the official winds of change swaying back in the favor of the Colts as they play the Houston Texans. In a huge divisional game, Da Bears travel to Green Bay.

Miami need to win this game in favor for them and us... it's enough of NE automatic divisional champ...and there is 1.5 game closer to the Bengals if we win this Sunday...

 

Go Miami!

[redravenfan]

Go Maimi !!! I was optimistic until I heard there right tackle is out still I will be rooting for maimi to take out the bengals.

[gabefergy]

Miami needs to win this game if they have any hope of making the playoffs.

I think they will win a tight one.

Whitworth (LT) is out for the Bengals.  Probably going to see the QB hurried on both sides of the ball tonight.

I didn't want to pick the Bengals, but I did.

[GrimCoconut]

I think this will be an ugly game for both teams but I think the Dolphins win.

[Grapple Raven]

Ohhhhh Grim, I sure hope you are right! lol

[GrimCoconut]

Ohhhhh Grim, I sure hope you are right! lol

I like the Miami DL against the Bengals OL. I think it'll give them real problems. I think they match up well. Both are on a short week so I usually like the home team under those circumstances.

Is Ellerbe playing?

Also remember that McKinnie, Ellerbe and Wallace know the Bengals.

No wonder they've turned all the lights off :P

[JO_75]

Out comes Tannehill and the Dolphins O to start the game.

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Naturally as soon as I go to fold the laundry a big play happens.

 

Run it down their throats!

[JO_75]

Wow... I think Billy Cundiff is dressed as Caleb Sturgis lol. 

[Geving]

Sturgis..... Smh

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Nice job holding them to the FG attempt.

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Wow.  That was a great play.

[JO_75]

Geno Atkins down, Bengals D is already banged up, but losing Atkins would be hard to over come.

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Watching Bryant McKinnie play so well after only being in Miami for 2 weeks makes me think that maybe our o-line personnel are not the problem.

[GrimCoconut]

I can't wait to play the Bengals. I think we can beat them

[gabefergy]

Dolphins TD!

[Inqui]

So the Bengals look beatable. :D

[jdynamite]

Keep it up dolphins.
I almost hit the floor with that miller fumble lol

[MrPlankton]

Isn't it a little early to start the bungling?

[gabefergy]

Watching Bryant McKinnie play so well after only being in Miami for 2 weeks makes me think that maybe our o-line personnel are not the problem.

McKinnie was clearly a problem here. It's all about motivation for him, and for whatever reason he did not feel the need to block in Baltimore.

[JO_75]

It helped that the Atkins got injured, that may have just changed the entire game.

[ravensdfan]

It's entirely possible that losing his starting gig & getting traded was a bit of a wake up call. Still, I think Castillo is also a big part of the O line problem.

 

Go Miami!

[A Fish Called Yanda]

McKinnie was clearly a problem here. It's all about motivation for him, and for whatever reason he did not feel the need to block in Baltimore.

 

Yeah, I won't deny that McKinnie played like crap while he was here...but I want to know the reason why he was playing like crap.  Was it all motivation, or is there some other reason?
