    Guys, do you know how many years of therapy and repressed memories you’re undoing right now by talking about the Jaguars playoff game?

    As far as I’m concerned Marino’s last game was against the Seahawks.

    Hey. If it doesn’t work out with Tua going forward, can Chubb play QB?
    Ahhh!!!

    I despise Chris Grier.

    We can learn if Skylar is the possible future and how well he plays during the entire game.

    Might be a good idea to try Chubb there. He's been pretty dogshi* at generating pressures. Last week according to PFF, he had only one against a line that was totally depleted.

    Yes, Both their starting tackles were out.

    Chubb is not producing and he is also playing injured. I’m starting to wonder if our fromt looks better with Van Ginkel or Ingram instead.

    Van Ginkel has made some plays the last couple games on limited snaps. Ingram has disappeared. But was huge early when he was actually getting consistent playing time.

    That's wild, I watched that last night and I figured that's where the South Park quote was from.

    I think the Dolphins can win this game with a strong running attack, limiting what Skylar has to do off play action, and containing Josh Allen much like we did to Lamar Jackson the past few years. Not an easy task and yes, the Bills should win...but I wouldn't call it definite. Miami has played them tough all year and this game won't be any different.

    I feel the same way. I'm going in with low expectations but I wouldn't be shocked if Josh Allen turns it over a few times and gives us some opportunities to pull off an upset. I think this game will come down to which Josh Allen shows up. If Buffalo comes out hot then it's over before halftime.

    Every time I convince myself to relax and wait to see how the game plays out, something else makes me worry. For example, we activated two guys that I never even heard of.

    It's better for the line if Eich doesn't play. Hope to God Armstead is in there. He'll make the biggest difference.

    If you go and rewatch the Jets game, Skylar was under pressure more than half of his throws.

    Did you even watch this defence this season? Turnovers? What are they?

    You guys that are posting optimistic stuff, I’m impressed you can still think that way. We are missing 9 starters by my count and in some positions we are down to next, next, next, next man. I’ll be amazed if we even cover the spread. I’m expecting the spread to be a pipe dream by halftime. Buffalo are going to sell out to stop the run and force Skylar to beat them. With him loving to pat the ball and this beat up offensive line against that Bills defensive line, it’s not going to be pretty imho.

    Seahawks and 49ers level of football is so much better than ours. I’m so sad we are entering the playoffs with a worse team then the last time we made it :(

    Anything can happen tomorrow. We make the playoffs about once a decade so why not have a little optimism? I'm not predicting an upset but I'm excited to at least have a chance for a change. Even if it's one and done we're in the playoffs and that's better than nothing. I'll be watching and rooting on my Dolphins until the bell rings. Fins up!

    Welcome to being a fan of a football team built by Chris Grier. Where the only requirement needed is a long and well documented history of injuries that just continue to happen.

    Nah. I'm cool with most of his signings. Injuries are an unpredictable part of the game. Besides, mid-risk, high reward trumps signing a bunch of second-tier FAs with clean injury records. Too many of y'all are mad about his roster when a lot of his signings were seen as coups when he brought them in.

    No, he’s just really bad at drafting and pretty much wasted the Laremy Tunsil trade. That and he’s the most consistent factor to our inability to put together a contender

    Lawrence throws a TD pass at the end of the half. But before that he was really on track to make history. After his first 20 passing attempts he actually had a 0.0 rating. The lowest rating ever after 20+ passing attempts in a playoff game was 1.0 by Y.A. Tittle going all the way back to 1961 in the pre-SB era. He also had 4 INTs, just like Lawrence. Lowest in the SB era is 7.1 by Kerry Collins in the SB against that historically great Ravens defense in the 2000 season.

    We'll see if Lawrence is better in the 2nd half. But that was potentially history in the making!

    Is it too soon to label Lawrence one of the biggest busts of all time? This kid was supposed to be the next Manning. I love the kid too, loved him in college. It’s shocking to see it really.

    He’s had an awful game. But compare Manning’s 2nd year numbers and Lawrence’s. You’re going to be surprised.

    Average passer rating has increased by 12 from 1999 to 2022. Can't just compare raw numbers. Peyton Manning was already an elite QB in year 2. He came in #4 in passer rating that year: his 90.7 was 13.6 passer rating points above average. Lawrence's 95.2 is 6.1 points above average. So Lawrence is above average but not anywhere like Peyton was. Lawrence isn't a bust yet. He's on track. It's only his 2nd year.

    What a game!! Lawrence redeems himself. Very impressive 2nd half.

    Oh, and Herbert is NOT an elite QB, at least not yet. It's not just statistically true, he failed in his first playoff game. He's given 5 turnovers and can't win a game they were favored to win.

    Herbert didn't do anything bad but he also didn't do anything particularly good either. Lucky for him the media will come for the coach and not him.

    I guess if your truly elite u don't get shut out in 2nd half.I can't see that happen to BurrowMahomes,or Allen.

    So I guess it's up to Hurts to show if there's another QB from the 2020 class that was worth taking other than Burrow. Tua and Herbert have only played 3 seasons, but right now it's looking like neither was worth taking — pending future seasons of course.

    Well the defense gave up a 27 point lead.. the offense was trying to run out the clock for the whole second half.. bad move..

    i honestly thought the jaguar were going to win to begin with, especially after the Mike Williams news.

    cant say enough about Lawrence.. hes special and has the IT factor

    Well Herbert hasn’t missed a game, has a higher career QB rating and a playoff start. Not to mention Tua likely won’t be in the NFL in 3-4 years.

    Doesn't matter if Herbert was the better choice compared to Tua at this point. He's simply not good enough himself.

    Problems with Herbert:
    1. Still has not demonstrated he can play elite
    2. Hasn't improved over last 3 years
    3. Choked in playoffs.

    Sorry this isn't the QB you want based on what we've seen.

    Main problem with Tua is durability/availability and that he choked at the end of the season when it counted most. Anyway, for both QBs the story isn't completely written, so we'll see what they do in the future, but neither has proven they're franchise QB worthy at this point.

    They didn't really run the ball all that much and they are getting criticized for that but the running game wasn't really working. Other than the TD run they had right on the first try those runs were going absolutely nowhere. So they put the game in the hands of Herbert which was the right move and it didn't work.

    Choked, their defense gave up a 20 point lead in the 2nd half. On top of that, their OL gave up 3 sacks and 10 QB hits. Are you trying to say he’s responsible for his OL being decimated and his defense being bad? Come on man, that’s ridiculous.

    Supporting cast matters, just look at Tuas progress this year by adding Hill, Williams and Armstead. The chargers had injuries all over their offense including both his WR’s and Slater which impacted his play.

    He may not be an elite QB but we know Tua can’t be counted on to play a full season and there’s no question Herbert was the better choice.

    The defense excuses don't really work because the defense is why they had the lead in the first place.
