Colin Cowherd on the Dolphins:"...I don’t necessarily buy it..."
58 replies
FinatikmoderatorOPColin Cowherd: “The Dolphins offense this season is not only good, it’s all-time good. Points per game: third-best all-time, 37 a game. Yards per play, total yards per game—the best ever. They’ve humiliated a lot of really BAD defenses. Versus Buffalo they scored 20, vs. New England they struggled in the second half. They play Philadelphia next week, Jalen Carter is coming back—they won’t look like what they’ve looked against the bad teams. Miami’s wins are against teams who are 4-22. They’re a bit of a Big 12 team, it feels like some empty calories. Those Big 12 teams score 60 a game, go play an SEC team and get their head bashed in. Miami looks like a team from Miami should look like. Fun, flare, flashy, fast. They’re the speedboat of the NFL. Speedboats in January, windy and cold weather, are silly and useless. Seventy against Denver, 42 against Carolina, almost 40 against the Chargers. It’s like if Bitcoin, NFT’s, infomercials, and TikTok had a baby; it would be Miami’s offense. I don’t know how sustainable it is, I don’t necessarily buy it in December and January. I think it’s fun, but when I watch the way this league turns out year after year, there’s September and early-October football, lots of points, then injuries pile up, pass protection and pass rushes become really important, and those sorts of teams tail off. I feel like that’s Miami."
Lots of people will tell you what they think about you and what you shouldn't and should do. Not everyone's thoughts are worth consideration. Don't take criticism from anyone who you wouldn't also go to for advice.
We could win a SB and he'd still hate on us lol. Speaking of which, Vegas doesn't think we're fake. We're 5th most likely to win the SB according to them, after SF, KC, Philly and Buffalo. Actually Vegas separates that into 2 tiers: SF and KC in the 1st tier, and Philly, Buffalo and Dolphins in the 2nd tier with very similar odds.
mlb1399forum_veteranI’m throughly enjoying this season but I also can see why people aren’t buying the hype. We haven’t beaten a team with a winning record, have one of the worst defenses in the NFL and got stomped by the only team we’ve played with a winning record.
Having said that, I’m hopeful that our D will get better as the season progresses, especially when we get Ramsey back.
ExplosionsInDaSkyforum_veteranWe haven't beaten a team with a winning record, but we did beat the Chargers who are much better than their record indicates. We whooped Denver who was expected to be better under the lead of Sean Payton, we beat a Giants squad that was a playoff team 8 months ago, we beat the Patriots who were expected to be better than what they are as well. If you would have looked at the schedule back in July and predicted 5-1 at this point, then I give you all the props for that. I had us at 3-3 based off of just the schedule alone. So while we haven't beaten a team with a winning record, we haven beaten four teams that have underachieved thus far and a Carolina team who straight up sucks. I'm not mad about our record at all. The real test comes against the Eagles. After that, I think we'll all know where this team is at.
Rick 1966forum_veteranThing is, if our offense doesn't play well against Philly, he's going to look like he was right.
djphinfansubscriberWe gonna beat the loser led eagles
Jalen hurts is infected and it’s bled into his play

we are winning the games we’re supposed to win. In the past we didn’t so we’re better just by that standard

Ego..Very similar to Russel Wilson who I said the same thing about 3 years ago
I studied his reps against the bills, he’s infected
I talked about this at length in the off-season and he’s proving me right
OwesOwn614forum_veteranIt doesn't matter. If we lose, we're flashes in the pan. If we win, it'll be because Philly's missing players on defense. The best we can do is keep winning and let the season play out. It's kind of funny that we apparently had the second-hardest schedule in the league when schedules were released, but now, we can't find good teams to play.

I think it'll convince some people. Not everyone, but some.
I am sorry...
i do not want to hear from Cowherd.
He is an idiot.
His hate for Tua and the Dolphins has been legendary.
He does not get to sing our praises now.
Best to ignore this clown... Nationwide mass boycott.

KeyFinforum_veteranCowherd, Bayless, and several others get paid to share unpopular opinions. Saying all-time good is not real is so laughable that it doesn't even deserve a response. I mean, they've had the best 6-week start to a season ever...but it's fake? Tyreek is 150 yards away from a thousand yard season....in week 6! Achane is #3 in rushing, even though he's only played 3 of the 6 games. I don't think a talking head could make a dumber comment to be honest.
To his point, the Dolphins could fall apart if Tua gets injured. But that's true for any team in the league right now.
He also talks about the road to the Super Bowl requires conquering the weather. Valid point. We have to go up north to Philly, KC, NY, and Baltimore. Two of those games are in November, so not exactly artic conditions. But let's say we lose all four of them, that's still a 12-5 team that will probably have home-field advantage throughout most of the playoffs. It's more likely that we split those games, end around the 14 win mark, and take the #1 seed in the AFC.
I mean, who else is going to beat us? NE, Oakland, Tenn, or the Jets in Miami? The Cowboys have a shot depending on which team shows up. There's really nobody else to fear- we have 5 challenging games left (six if you count @NY). And I'm probably giving Dallas and Baltimore too much credit.
I see 3 or 4 potential losses and then the playoffs flow through Miami.
Winning football games at any level comes down to winning in the trenches.
Spot on....
Take care of business against lesser teams... Split with Philly and KC... and homefield to the Superbowl belongs to the Dolphins.

But if you listened to him after the shellacking we put on Denver however, Tua and the Dolphins were the greatest thing since sliced bread.
He’s a bandwagon hopping attention whoore

StaleTacosforum_veteranPretty reasonable. They've had the weakest schedule in football by a lot. Got blown out by the only team that was .500+. The teams they beat have a combined record of 5-24. Eagles will be an actual test.
If he fails to get a deal done with Tua I'm joining the call for "Grier has to go". -cbrad

Yeah, but they have a really good defense. And they're not exactly lighting up the scoreboard but they're pretty damn competitive. No telling where they'd be if it wasn't for that achilles Injury.

You might have had a point here except for one small teensy weensy little itty bitty detail…
The teams Miami have beaten, save the Chargers…we’ve not just won those games, we’ve OBLITERATED those teams.
Had we won all of those games by a touchdown or less, that would be something to seriously look at, but that hasn’t been the case.
The loss to Buffalo…IN Buffalo? Since when have division games ever been easy ones? Especially playing them on THEIR home turf?
You are right about the Philadelphia game though. It is going to be a test. I’m optimistic we can and will win that game but even if we don’t…
1. I’d rather lose to Philadelphia as it is a non-conference game.
2. I don’t want us to get blown out.
if we lose this game 32-27…less than a touchdown, it’s not the end of the world. After all, the Eagles were in the Super Bowl last year. Than in itself makes any team they play an instant underdog.

FinFaninBuffaloforum_veteranCowherd is an idiot. He actually claims that the #1 rushing offense in the league won't do well late in the year????
Why do these asshats insist on changing the narrative to fit their agenda? Any other team gets praised for having a running game that can help them in the playoffs and in cold weather.
Miami on offense has one issue. They struggle with dominant front fours, especially if Williams is not in at center. We shall see if the current group on the OL can continue to improve or if changes are required next year.
Against the Bills they moved the ball on offense. A couple of mistakes on offense and a defense that could not stop the Bills were the issues.
Film first, numbers second. If the numbers don’t match what is seen on film, something is likely wrong with the numbers.
