***THE Official Miami Dolphins vs Baltimore Ravens Gameday Thread***

I think we'll throw downfield too, but I wouldn't be surprised to see us still play conservatively for a half once again. We're one shot on Moore away from disaster.

 

I think this might be the game where we introduce ourselves to the NFL.

We still haven't fired on all cylinders for a complete game. I believe we might just win a lopsided one tomorrow night.

 

I was actually thinking the Raiders game would be our coming out party. I think we win vs Baltimore, but playing on the road on Thursday night evens the odds quite a bit.

 

Would love to see Wake and Ajayi destroy these mofos.

 

I think there's a chance the short week works in our favor. We may still be riding the high form the Jets game and pick up where we left off.

 

that would be nice for a change. I worry a little bit about Ajayi - who seemed to take some real poundings last Sunday - playing on a short week. I really hope Gase gets over his issues and dials up some plays for Drake to Ajayi isn't carrying the whole load again.

 

Agree. I cringe when I see Williams come in to the game.

 

The Ravens' recent total futility at defending the run makes this even more a possibility.

 

I think it does because we've already played a ton of short weeks so far with all the travel. It's basically a normal week for us.

 

Where's Dirty?

 

Dude don't. If you say his name 3 times, he'll appear and start making 100s of awful threads a day.










No, seriously....stop.

 

I like him...lol

 

Dirty does kind of grow on you...like a rash. Wait, what?

 

He grows on me like an inoperable tumor.

 

Ravens favored by 3 points?

Okay....

 

So they score roughly 3 points more a game but also allow 3 more.

They rush better but also allow more rush yards.

Call it a tie? Lol

 

My a-hole Redskins schlub roommate is trying to bait me into watching the game on TV while he drinks and becomes belligerent...Just like the Ravens.

No way in hell. I'll gamecast it if I can't watch a youtube livestream, FTW...

 

Call his bluff. Then after the game remind him that the Redskins are not as good as the Dolphins and laugh at them jettisoning their WR core and expecting it to not matter.

 

I don't want him to go to jail. He's the most insecure POS I've ever met, one laugh and I've got tons of worthless paperwork to fill out and possible court proceedings. He's fat (like *** belly fat), wears glasses, racist when it suits him, and owns an AR-15...You call his bluff, lol.

 

Sounds miserable. Obviously you don't get to pick your roommates.

Do you have to pretend you are a Trump supporter too, just to keep the peace??

 

I will say this on his behalf, he was one measure short of eclipsing Booger's epic belch from "Revenge of the Nerds." So if takes those attributes to complete such a masterpiece, well then, I feel it's my duty to tolerate him as much as humanly possible.

If he ever does, I have a feeling the whole house will be going to jail...

 

If you want I'll come over and take him fishing for you brah. Or we could go exploring lava tubes. Or a visit to my friends pig farm. I hate Redskins fans, and the redskins, almost as much as the jest, maybe even more. Just hearing Joe Theesmans voice makes me slightly homicidal.

 

the ravens play well at home because they have great fans that know how to be loud, in a very intimate venue..

 

Brandon Williams is back...dude is a beast.

 

I have a feeling that we're going to light the Ravens up something awful tonight....just like we did with Moore's first game against the Jets last season. Our team is hyped and ready to make a statement- this is a huge, huge game for us and I can't wait for kickoff!

 

They are 1-2 at home this year already.

 

I think the Ravens will be ready for Ajayi plus he can't keep shouldering the run offense. MM had a great game v Jets, but we all know things can quickly go wrong when he starts to get confident and throws the ball into wrong areas. Nothing seems to be easy for the 'Fins this season and this might be the one where we get found out. Our offense just isn't great.
20-10 to the Ravens. ( I hope I'm wrong). On at 2pm here I maybe asleep by then. Give us a shout if it starts to look as though we'll win.

 

My gut feeling is that Ajayi will actually do well this game. As much as the Ravens are preparing for him, they've been horrible against the run, and I remember a game last season (vs. the Bills?) where the same was being said - "We know Ajayi is coming, We're going to focus on stopping him." End result? It was one of the two back-to-back 200 yard games (if I remember rightly). So intentions are one thing, results are another, and although the Dolphins haven't been consistent, especially on offense, I just get the sense that they're fired up, ready to go, and after having trouble running the ball last game, I think Ajayi is going to be more fired up to break through. Hopefully Gase and Christensen have something prepared as well, maybe a bit more Drake or Williams, maybe more tight-end action?

There are so many tools on offense that haven't been used thus far, I'm hoping Gase finally breaks out some of those toys from his toy box and begins to bring some real diversity to this offense, keep the Ravens, and other teams, off-balance. For example, using TE's short (Marqueis Gray please!), Landry etc in the middle and then Grant and /or Stills deep there's real potential in the Miami offense to keep defenses honest. I'd like to see more more variety from Gase to utilise all these tools.

Big proviso - we've got a few questionables on the OL along with Steen ruled out. If the OL play becomes horrible then we know how the offense can stutter.

Bottom line for me, though? I'm quietly confident on this one, bit of excitement. I might even stay up until the ridiculous hours of the morning to watch the game (or go to bed and then wake up for it). It's a 2:30AM start over on my side of the pond.

 

OL better be on their game tonight!

 

The Ravens, much like the Jets, can have an average to below average team and beat us on any given day. I'm not expecting Moore to be able to come in here, on a short week as a back-up, and light up their defense.

17-14 Dolphins....

 

On a side note...Dirty is either in jail, the hospital, or banned. If it's the first 2 I can believe it, but if it's the latter I don't think he did anything to warrant a banning.

 

A few gifs/takes from Aqua...

 

Baltimore always scares me. We never play them well. We'll be dead lucky if we come out of there with a win.

 

His account seems to be active.
Just not around since Saturday.

 

I noticed that too. However, a recent member was recently banned for a little while and their account status never changed either. It's just not like him to be away for this long.

 

He was probably banned for his behavior. I'm sure it was only temporary but it was likely deserved.
