I can't lie I also seem to be stuck in anticipating when will one of those "Same Old Cowboys" moments/plays occur to justify my own inability to have optimism towards my team. It sucks but its an unfortunate truth I face.
Good writeup. Because my fandom has been beaten down so regularly by similar games in the past I prepared myself for that Same Old Cowboys moment to happen but it never did.
I honestly was in a little bit of genuine shock at the outcome because my pessimism has evolved into that Stephen A...
Freakin' Stafford is playing at such a crazy elite level with all his different arm angle throw abilities and the eye discipline disguises they show he uses on replay looking off defenders and such.
Besides his natural ball placement/accuracy.
Just really exciting to watch him spin it this year...
I think if our defensive interior can match their defensive interior for a full 4 quarters then we've got a shot.
That's a tall ask but it's why those Cowboys DT moves were made so let's see what we've got!
Cowboys!!
Most of my attention will probably be geared towards watching the oline vs. Fangio's front 7 to include Carter as a participant this time.
The Raider's d line, other than Crosby, is not the biggest accomplishment for me what with how the Cards and Carolina fronts dominated the oline still kinda...
After that last game and even with all the new defensive faces the best I can come up with is a low 30s nail biter that "maybe" we can win.
Kind of a coin toss for me honestly.
Bills run defense gets an honorable mention if for just this Dolphin game alone.
Wait, their run defense actually sucks as the worst in the league.
Like, worse than ours.
Hard to fathom but misery loves company I guess.
On an extremely poor DC hire cycle these last few years. Nolan, Quinn, out of retirement GROZ pt. II and Flus.
Quinn, with all his run stopping warts, is like a God when comparing the rest of these flops.
Used to be they could pad their win total stats against average to below average opponents.
Now that that narrative has been removed this perpetual spiral downward will continue.
This is nothing that hasn't already been shown before in some form.
So man...
Just hold on to those 70s and 90s...
I thought this beat down was a continuation of the Carolina debacle as being out physicalled but even more to the extreme.
I brieflly had thought maybe a DL and LB at the trade deadline might could amount to improving something defensively.
Nope,
Now Im back to thinking the only hope in...
Phillips is right up our alley of always hurt and paying for his potential or where we had him as a draft prospect rather than a very impactful signing.
I like your earlier post's article list of potential candidates much better.
Yep, I hear ya man. Football 101 type stuff.
If Jevonte has some early success, you would think play action(the faking of a handoff while still passing) would cause that little delay in the defense's reaction time enough to create success in some downfield throws.
Haven't seen a lot of true...
