Let's talk about the Miami Dolphins

[Hammock Parties]

Here is my $500,000 question on this game.

Will Spags and Co play it straight and keep their powder dry for the playoffs?

Last season the Chiefs defense (and maybe Andy, don't recall) kept things very vanilla when they went to Cincy.

They lost that battle, but won the war, because the defensive wrinkles Spags wanted to use against the Bengals were unveiled in the AFC Championship and held their offense at bay just enough for gimpy Mahomes to drag us over the finish line late.

Will Spags come into this game guns blazing and try to take out the Dolphins early this season? OR will he keep his cards hidden for the real season?

In all seriousness, the Dolphins are a better version of the Chargers.

I’m not sure what to think of the fact that they don’t beat good teams, but I’m thinking we’re going to be pretty frustrated with our defense in this one.

Their defense isn’t very good so we should have more success on that front. It’s notable that they did add Ramsey back and seem to be able to rush the passer well.

Their defense is a lot better than the one we just played.

They will be ready and will play well. I expect this to be like last year after the Colts loss. They went on the road to play a team that made it personal with them (Bucs).

I see the same thing happening next week

The Dolphins game was always going to be more important than the Broncos game.

If we could only win 1, we want to beat the Dolphins.

Do that, and we’re back in business.

No, it isn't. The Broncos' defense is comparable to what it's been the last few years. They just had a few inexplicably terrible games to start the year.

It's ridiculous that people think the same personnel just suddenly decided to suck.

How many TD's does Tyreek score? I'll say 2.

Pretty sure DEN traded away at least a couple defensive starters, like Chubb, no? Anyway, advanced metrics indicate that the broncos defense is indeed much worse in 2023:

Don't underestimate Denver players hating Mahomes. They play harder against him than anyone else. They geta week off then a trip to Buffalo. Russ will lose the game for sure.

Is Jalen Ramsey capable of shutting down Kadarius Toney?

Probably. But I doubt Ramsey will shadow one KC WR. If he did, my guess is that Ramsey would shadow Rice.

Miami has so much speed. It's insane.
